votes to Brysn's IA, 712. TAFT leads in a
straw poll by the Literary Digest, which
was made public here today. The re-
mainder of the S5, 40 ballos cast we're
divided among the other FIVE candidates,
Chain, the prohibitionitt candidate,
polling 949, or 224 more than the COM
biue1 votes of Dsbs, Wstson, Hisgen and

readers of the Literary Digest ale de-
clared TO be preachers, bankers, lawyers,
educators and business men, and the
straw vote Is tsken as a conservative in
dication OF election sentiment among
those. Inspection of the ballot by states
shows thst Bryan csrfies the solid south

Virginia, West Virginia, Missouri and
California. Taft, from the Digest's re-
turn, has a comfortable lead in New York,
Indiana, Ohio and Nebraska, and in the

blizzard In the Northwest

Winnipeg, Oct. 2S.-Oficials of the
Canadian Pacific aud the Canadian
Northern railways to-day are struggling
with a paralysis of traffic resulting from
one Of the worst blizz ards the Canadian
Northwest has ever experienced. The
storm, which began yesterday, has in
creased in fury and the reports from the
territory west of Winnipeg today state
that it is at its highest.
Ten inches of snow has fallen and is
being blown into railway cuts and pill
ing in many places to ten feet deep.
Canadian Pacific snow ploWI are hard st
work but are making little progress. A
Canadian Northern train ran into q
snowtsnk just east OF VermiliOn and Is
stuck there.

irving from the northwest today reported
serious delay resulting from the snow
storms which are sweeping northern
Minnesota, North Dakota and Montana.

Turkey and Bulgaria.

Oonstaniinople, Oct. % Grand
Vizier Kismail Pasha denied today that
the negotiations between Turkey and
Bulgaria bad been broken of as a resnit
of Bulgarls's refusal to pay the capital
lied value Of the east Rumelisn tribute.
ga diff renee between US on this prop
osition has caused a temporary interrupt
ton of negotiations, said the grand
vlSier, "but | am hopeful tina the con-
ference will be renewed within few
days. Turkey does not view the dispute
as vital, for it Is largely one as 10 the
form which Bnlgsris's compensation TO
Turkey shall take. Bulgaria is willing
to make compensation, we understand,
and the form that 1t shall take ought
not to he sn insurmountable barrier. 4"
NJ. Dimitrief, the Bulgarian sgeut,
has returned to Sofia.
Nothing has developed in the negoti-
atoms between Turkey and Austria, but
here again there is the strongest hope
that an understanding can be reached
that will make the proposed Balkan con-
ference nothing more than a meeting Of
ratification. The msiority of Turks be-
lieve that sooner or later the country
will have to yield to Austria in the ques-
ton of the annexation Of Bosnia and Her
zegovina. There is q growing desire to
get the mudile cleared up as quickly be
possible in order that the young Turks
party may apply itself to fighting the re-
dictionary movement that now mensces
the new regime.

NEW YORK DEMOCRATS.

Bryan's name came in for a lot o.
cheering at the meeting of the AssOcia'
ton of Southern democrats In New
York, held In Cooper Union last night,
but the mention of Grover Cleveland
brought out a response as long and as
hear felt as the crowd, which must have
numbered 5000, gave to Bryan.
William Hepburn Russell, who pre-
sided, holly attacked the present admin
istralion ss a personal Dictatorship, and
referred to Taft as Roosevelt's "ater
ego"
The government" he said, "was
b ney-combed with graft. The admin
istration dares not make public the
documents in its possession (oow under
lock and key and seal and guard which
show the distribution of the $40, 900, 600
we paid for the Panama canal. Nomi-
uslly, we paid it to the French but
who are the French? 4"
Gov. Swanson, of Virginia, took a
few cracks at the tsr.ff
Roosevelt" he declared, "has ap-
pointed 80 316 oficeholders- more men
than Napoleon had when he won Maren-
20 and Austtrlilz; more than the allies
had when they beat him; more than
Meade had at Gettysburg. No wonder
he could get Taft nominated"

Rrvan Refers to ReoseveIt's Letter.

Lambertville, n. j. Oct. 23-Mr. Bryan
today took occasion to refer ssrcastically
to the presidents letter to Senator KnC K
commenting the lstler's speech on the
labor question. Bryan took his first
"fall" out Of the matter of Wilmington,
DEL, en- route here, when he said to an
audience of several hundred that had
gathered at the station to meet him:
al am glad that you are still able to
greet me as the democratic candidate
When | saw in the papers of yesterday
that the president had removed Samuel
Gompers as the head of organized labor
and placed Senator Knox in his place,
| began to get resdy for anything. So
| looked at the papers today 10 sort Of
tremulous manner as l was half inclined
to believe that Mr.. Roosevelt might read
me out of my own party and name some
one else as the candidate. But go far
he does not seem to have done So"

Recognizing that directors OF National
Banks should pay more attention to the
work of their institutions, Comptroller
OF the Currency Murray today issued q
list Of 20 searching questions to be put
by examiners to each individual director
when making their next examination,
The questions are designed to bring out
clearly the relation of the directors to
the executive conduct of the bank; the
ext3nt of their knowledge of the paper
held by the bank; the degree of latitude
conceded by them to bank officers in

laid on the attention which has been
given by directors to criticisms originst-
ing with the comptrOller's Office. One
question is chow many Of the directors
have read the national bank act, and
bow many know the duties OF directors
and what the courts have decided as to
the responsibility and liability OF direc-
tors" 1t is stated thst this is probably
the FIRST time q complete inquiry into

dtrtaken.
President Roosevelt's entire cabinet
will be on the stump in the whirl"ind
campaign finish next week. This de-
cision was reached at today's cabinet
meeting, when the political situation
was fully discussed. Ohio, West Virginia,
Mary land, New Yerk state are consider
ed the pivotal points for treatment by
the members Of the presidents official
family. The rumor is again current TO-
day that President Roosevelt himself
may be prevailed upon to take the stump
It The labor situation does not materially
improve within the next few days. The
demand for bis appearance In the cam
psign hiss been growing stronger daily.
Il is understoodhere, that the presl'
dent, in lieu of making speeches will
contribute his quota Of interest 10 the
sensational finish by making pnblic a
number OF political letters.
President Samuel GOmpers, OF the
American Federation Of Labor, returned
to Washington today after a stumpiDg
tour for Bryan covering the last ten
days and set to work immedis ely IN the
prepars ton of o statement in answer to
the presidents Letter to Senator Knox,
which will be issued later.
President Roosevelt is compelled TO
recognize that there are weak spots that
must be mended between now aud cleo
ton day, In Ohio, Indiana and New
York. Confidential information taken
to the president 10 the past week lndi-
cate that Ohi) is In badly muddled pc
iticsl condition The "Brysn wave,"
which 1t ia admitted is following the
democratic candidate trough! Indiana
and Ohio and into the east, is causing
some apprehension as to its effect upon
these close states.
Now that President Roosevelt has In
iimated that he may write play, there
is much speculation in theatrical circles
as 10 its possible character. Frederic
Thompson, the hippodrOme originator,
producer of "Via Wireless" is authority
for the announcement that the president
contemplates turning his activities to
play writing. Thompson lunched at the
White House yesterday and during the
conversation, expressed the hope that
be might be called upon to produce the
great American drama, by Theodore
Roosevelt. "Well," replied the presi-
dent, with a laugh, "prehaPs, prehaPs-
but not YETI"

THAT the president and Judge TAFT

Sunday" Well, that the day and part
of the night, was given up to a "dresS
rehearsal" is as clear as the noon hour
sun on a cloudless day. Senator Knox
made q speech on Tuesday night in
Pittsburg, which was published in We'd
nesdsy's papers. In yesterdays papers
the president had letter Of six columns
addressed to Mr.. Knox filled with law
matters which was evidently prepared

Early in the afternoon there was an
informal luncheon in the state dining
room. at which the president and Mr.
TAFT had as their joint guests Secretary
of State Root, Senator Knox, OF Penn
sylvauia; Mr.. Justice Moody, OF the
United States Supreme Court, and M
Loeb, private secretary to the president.
Senator Knox read his speech right
then aud there, and the answer to be
signed by Mr.. Roosevelt was prepared
and revised. The president asks M
Bryan some questions. One can rest
assured an answer will be on the wires
without delay.
