self be photographed in a chinchila sack

of business sent to get it back, she kept
the garment; whence lawsuit. A third

Detroit, Mich, Sept. 22.-The most
sensational development in the po-
litica1 campaign was the sending to-

candidate for president, of a tele-
gram to President Roosevelt, de-.
manding he produce proof that Gov.
Charles N. Haskell of Oklahoma,
treasurer of the Democratic national
committee, was connected with the
Standard Oil company.
Selling upon the opportunity thus
afforded him, Mr.. Bryan took oc-
casion to serve notice on the presi-
dent that he would not permit any
responsible member of the Republi-
can organization to misrepresent the
attitude Of the Democratic party in
the present campaign, and said that
the Democratic party was making an,
honest fight" In defense Of its
principles and policies, and that it
expected and demanded fair and hon-
orable. treatment from the Republi-
cans in the campaign. 49,. .. .
