forces by which the results of the cleo

party not only in New York state, but

Unworthy of Notice.

Mr.. Bryan would not permit himself
TO be drawn into further discussion with
James w. Van Cleave. president of the
Manufacturers association, who came
out in the press today with additional
alleged reasons why the business men of
the country should not support the DEM
ocratic national ticket. This decision was
based on the fact that Mr. Van Cleave
had failed to defend his former conten-
lions. but instead had shifted the discus
sion to other questions.

Springfield. Ill. Aug. l7.-One more vic

of the bullet wounds and the beating
which he received from a crowd of ne

warned the authorities that Billy will
be avenged and his death will cause a
redoubling of vigilance by the troops

Waiting for Troops to Leave.
Wait until the troops GO" is the word
that has been passed around town. and
recognizing the strength of the undercur-
rent, the state. city and county officials
are taxing every effort to turn public
opinion toward law and order.
To that end Governor Deneen has been

recovered In great quantities, most of
them bearing the price tags of the looted
business houses.
