He asks for the number of trusts

and figures in each case. He also
asks how many trust officials have
been criminally prosecuted and how
many convicts. He continues:

but 1t IL equally true that Cortelyou
did not send 1t back. but used 1t. And

cred at Mr.. Roosevelt, and II they are
not actually working to bring about
such q defeat they are not willing to
do anything to prevent 1t.
All this means that the Republican
managers have been obliged 70 turn
at the eleventh hour to the rank and
fle OF the party. where the tremend-
GUS popularity of Mr. Roosevelt Is still
unimpaired. The president having
alienated practically all the usual
sources OF campaign fund supply, 1t
Is now pointed out that it is up to
the steadfast Roosevelt men through
out the country to furnish the abso-
lutte funds which the antagonists Of
Roosevelt will not contribute.
Notwithstanding their clear recog-
milton Of conditions In all these states
which require the utmost energies In
campaigning. the Republicans are. des-
perately hampered by the lack OF
money for the legitimate operations
Of the campaign. The Republicans
have always been so literally supplied
with campaign funds that when the
cry hrst-began to 60 up this year
that they had no funds 1t was receiv-
ed even by their own people outside
Of the close circles Of headquarters
with the utmost incredulity.
Republicans everywhere took It
merely as blum to prevent excessive
demands being made ON the national
committee. The state and county
workers believed thoroughly that
when It came to the time that money
was really necessary to carry ON their
work 1t would be forthcoming as
usual.
1t was not until the representatives
OF the different state committees be-
gan to drop In at headquarters here
and In New York and asked for the
assistance which they had been &C.
customed to receive that they found
1t was no joke after all. but the cold
est kind Of hard fact.

Four Pivotal States
In This Election

NEW YORK. Oct. Tine Times,
in a dispatch from Chicago, says:
New York, New Jersey. Ohio, In
diana-these are the determining
states. In both national committees
this IL fully recognised From now
until election day these are the states
In which both the Republican and
Democratic managers will center
their efforts. Into these states Will
20 both Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Bryan. Bry.
an will reserve New York for the last.
Despite their confident talk for
publication. the Democratic manag-
ers are not really certain Of Nebras-
ka, but they do believe that q thor
ough campaign OF that state by Mr.
Bryan would make 1t sure. Mr.. Bry-
an, however, will not take any time
away from his work in New York
which 10 absolutely necessary for his
success.
At Republican national headquar-
ters here. very much the same feel

sert Mr.. Taft will carry that Will elect
him without the electoral vote Of New
York. But none Of them believes that
It Is safe to risk the election to the
chances of carrying a complete chain

both headquarters that with the state

probably carry the other also. SO
that IL New York goes for Bryan this
year the great probability Is that both
Ohio and Indiana will also cast their
electoral votes for Bryan.
viii Run Behind chanIer.
At Democratic headquarters here It
Is admitted In the conversation with
friends that Bryan will run behind
Chanler In New York and behind Mar
shall In Indiana, but It Is believed that
he will receive more votes In Ohio
than Judge Harmon. In Indiana the
campaign mas been running at top
speed for some time, and is being wag.
ed by organizations disciplined by
old experience.
In Ohio very little work has been
done by Republicans up to this time.
In New York and New Jersey both
sides are preparing to wage the most
effective struggle possible. and the
skirmishers are already being over
taken by the first line OF supports.
This year those who have nj.
ways contributed heretofore have All

course Of President Roosevelt. They
are thoroughly disguised with him

Many of them fairly hate him and
would far rather work and contribute
against him than for him.
Some of them openly declare that
the defeat OF Mr.. Taft would be the
most bitter blow that could be deliv.

the comprehension of ordinary minds.
Did you get them any such sum? No.
you got them only bare one-eighth

In conclusion the governor says:
IT therefore insist that without un-
easonable delay I may be advised as
to the correctness Of the above facts,
and In behalf Of our people, the
Osages, I demand a revocation Of such
unwarranted and unjust lease, and
