citizens of this country who are neith-
er reactionary nor representative Of
predatory wealth or special interests,

London, July l0-The London news
papers anticipate an interesting cen
test for the presidency of the United
states. This, they think. will arise
not SO much from the difference IN the
platforms Of the opposing parties as
from the striking personalities of Their
candidates. Bryan having dropped the
free silver and other extreme planks',
is regarded as an acceptable candidate
but as likely to stand little chance
against "RooseveIts nominee" His
only chance. It is thought here, will
be from the support of the labor party
but this is expected to be more thal
balanced by the accession of the bust
nes community TO Taft.
A Times editorial says of Bryan:
He never has had the opportunity
of showing whether he possesses ca.
pacity for constructive work, and his
speeches and writings seem to be as
deficient in originality and statesman
ship as they are in clearness and co
herence OF thought"

OF republican Party.
Hot Springs, Va, July l0--That the
publicity of campaign funds is to b.
made feature of the campaign was
made very clear here today. Taft had
extended talks with Chairman Hitch.
cock and Treasurer Sheldon and the
necessity for the strictest possible
compliance with the New York law in
relation to the publicity of campaign
funds of the national committee was
the chief topic,
Referring to the suggestions that
the Republican party might receive
funds outside of New York and not in.
clude them in the report of the ma
tional treasurer, Taft replied promptly
that 1t was possible to commit pee
jury in such case, but he secuted the
idea and declared his purpose of Civ
ing publicity to the funds of the party
in the campaign. Sheldon also de
clared that the New York law would
be adhered to in respect to all funds
that come to the national committee
i'll whatever state they may be collect
ed, and they will be published with
the names of the donors. Sheldon de-
clared that compliance with the law
in this respect would dispel the pouu-
lar idea that vast amount Of money
