the sound of his voice could reach,
Col. Bryan tonight made brief rally
south of the Ohio river. The rally
In Louisville eliminated one Of the
|buricst days Of the campaign and the
outpouring here eqpaIled any and
perhaps surpassed anything IN the
way Of demonstration the candidate
has met with since he was notified
of his nomination. For the time he
left New Albany, Indiana, Just across
thc Ohio river until he spoke his
final words Of farewell, Bryan was
the recipient Of a continuous ovation.
His favorite topic today wer the
democratic platform as il relates to
labor; guaranty bank deposits and
the publicity Of campaign contribu-
tions and frequently aroused his
hearers to a high pitch Of enthusiasm.

FINAL SPEECH ON NOV. z
National Committee WIN Send Prom
Insnt Speakers Into Ohio, New
York and Indiana For Final Whirl
In These States.


NEW YORK, Oct 20 Judge Taft
will leave Cincinnati tomorrow night
and begin at once his tour of Indiana
On return from New York he will
close the campaign with a speech at
Youngstown, Ohio, Monday night,
November 2. The impression that
the Republican national committee
has virtually taken charge of the
campaign in Ohio Is erroneous. The
impression doubtless grew out Of
a statement made today by Chair
man Hitchcock that the national
committee had arranged to send A
number OF speakers into the state.
The national committee has done this
with full understanding with the
state committee. So the matter was
explained at the national headquar.
ters today The national committee
Is especially interested in Ohio be-
cause Of the many, though disputed
reports of disaffection in several sec
tions Of that state. The committee in.

poses it was said. to "Clinch the

meetings which have been scheduled

The object Of this Is to satisfy the
crowds that are expected to attend
and to save Taft's voice for the night

Butterworth wore.
Butterworth had just entered his
front gate after closing bis store

and her two little girls heard the gate
shut and arose to meet the husband

though no shot was heard BY them
Mrs Butterworth opened the door
and ran to the side of her PROSTATE
husband to see what the matter was,
and discovering that he had been
shot she summoned neighbors and
these called a physician. The serv-
ices Of the latter were useless as the
victim was killed instantly.
The 81. John police believe that
Butterworth was followed home BY
someone, aware that he wore valu-
able jewelry and that as he passed
into the shaded gate the assassin

close to his body With remarkable
swiftness the ring was removed from
the fallen mans finger and before
Mrs. Butterworth had opened the
door the robber had disappeared.
