 NOT MUCH FEARED

Columbus Miss, September 15.-(Spec- ial. )-Reports from West Point, Miss, deny that the military company at that point was ordered to hold itself in readi- ness on account of the night riders re- ported raids throughout counties in southern part of the state. A gentleman stated over the telephone that the com pany was ordered to be ready in case of probable need of it's services in con- veying a negro from West Point to Kos ciusko. The informant at West Point states that rumor says notices were posted on gin houses near Pheba, Houston and Tomnolen during the past day or so but that no trouble is expected as peo- pie are obeying the orders from un- known parties and closing. down their gins.
 Another report reached here this aft ernoon that the company at Macon, Miss had been ordered to be prepared to serve at moments notice. Why these companies are being notified seems to be somewhat of a secret The local company has received no orders, so says Captain Mullins,

SUCCESSOR TO BE NAMED
 TO CHAIRMAN MALLORY

Montgomery, September 15.-(Special J. In anticipation of the meeting of the state democratic committee at noon tomorrow, there is an unusual supply of politicians about the hotel lobbies tonight. Interest centers in the fact that Chairman H. S. D. Mallory will resign and a possible se- lection will be made of his successor Half dozen prominent men are mentioned for the position, all of whom are leaders on the Conner or administration side of the house The resignation will become effec- tive after the end of the presidential race and results from the candidacy of Colonel Mallory for governor. Rumor places W. D. Nesbitt and Frank S. White of Bir- mingham, Rube Mitchell of Gadsden and Henry Steagall of Ozark in the limelight for the succession.

The matter had not been suggested to MT Nesbitt, he said, and was new to MT. Steagall
 Neither MT. White nor MT. Mitchell was here. Governor Conner came down on the night train, adding interest to the sltua- tion by his presence. Private Secre- tary Fort was in the lobby of the Ex- change for while talking with the mem bers.
 In appearance, it seemed that the leaders attached much importance to the session However, there is a report that MT. Mallory will not be allowed to re- sign, but urged to hold on for year at least When asked about this Colonel Mallory said he intended to resign to- morrow, but had no idea what the com mittee would do with regard to his sue cessor He seemed to think a new man would be chosen.

Threatened With Panic.

Tn 1896 laboring men were threatened with a panic in case of my election, and they have learned that the democratic party has no monopoly on panics. They have learned that the republican party can bring on a panic as well as the dem- ocratic party.
 'So, my friends, no matter among what people you go; no matter in what sec tion you are; no matter to whom you address your remarks, you find that to- day the people have a better under standing of what the republican party stands for and what its policies mean than they had a few years ago.
 T want to call attention to some of the evidences that the democratic party meets the demand of the present, and has the sympathetic support of large majority of the people. My friends, when I am talking out west 1 tell the repub- licans that if I could bring them up one at a time and put them on the plat form and question them, 1 could prove by their own testimony that nine-tenths of them are democrats and don't know it. Now, l don't know whether the propor- ton is as large down here or not, but I can prove to you that many, very many, who call themselves republicans, are nearer to us in their ideas than they are to republican leaders"
 The democratic candidate then launched into discussion of the tariff, the trusts, the guarantee of bank deposits and the labor question, and poured a volley of criticism into MT. Taft, whom he charged with running on President Roosevelt's record. At the conclusion of his ad- dress MT. Bryan left for Trenton.

Convictions Among the People.

Washington Park, N. J., September 15. My nomination for third term after two defeats and with no President to help me with his patronage has been due to one thing alone, and that is the growth of the ideas for which I stand and the conviction among the people that am on their side"
 In these words William J. Bryan here today addressing big throng sounded the keynote of his first speech to the voters of New Jersey in the present campaign. MT. Bryan assured his au- dience that whether he was elected President or not he would feel abund- antly repaid for all that he had been able to do if he could retain the con- fdence and affection of the American people.
 Mir Bryan declared that the period had been reach ed in the history of the democratic party when the east and west, the north and south can unite upon a platform.
 MT. Bryan compared the difference between the conditions in 1896 and the present time. "When I spoke in the east in 1S96," he said ''I recognized that there was intense opposition. I recognized that there were people who feared that my election would be in- furious to the country and they com municated that fear to those who worked for them Today there is no such fear. In 1896 there were people so alarmed at what they thought was menace in my candidacy that when the election was over honest and religious men knelt down and thanked God that the country had been saved"
 No Fear of Danger.
 He declared that no such feeling could be found today. There are now" he said, mo people who are fearful of danger in case of my election" The only people, he said, who would feel that they had been saved in case of his defeat were. "the kind that don't thank God for their safety" That difference in the temper of the people he main- tained was apparent everywhere
 "In 1896, the clerks in the stores were in many, if not most cases, given to understand that if I won there might be no business doing in the country for four years Today the clerks In the stores are not being advised by tn cir employers as they were 12 years ago. The clerks have learned that under re- publican rule the living expenses have increased more rapidly than their sal aries.'
 "There were," he said, business men, who, in 1896, thought their business was jeopardized, or would be, by a demo- cratic victory. but these business men in the last twelve years have learned enough about the trusts to know that their business has been jeopardized un- der republican rule and that nothing but a democratic victory can save their bus , mess. There were many small manufac- turers who viewed with alarm a demo- cratic victory in 1896. but the smaller manufacturer knows today that his bus mess is insecure as long as great trusts

Trenton. N. J., September 15.-Pouring hot shot into Mr Taft and the repub- lean party at every point where he stopped, W. J. Bryan tonight, m thls city, concluded a strenuous day or cam paigning in New Jersey, following a lew hours in Philadelphia, where, In front of a newspaper office and before great throng, he arraigned the republican or ganization of that city and expressed ms sorrow for people who, he said, were compelled to live under its rule. Switch ing into national politics, he asserted that the republican standard-bearer promised that there would be no pancs and that MT. Roosevelt, as MT. Tafts godfather, promised the same thing. He wanted to know how MT. Taft could prevent panics when MT. Roosevelt already had one on his hands.
 MT. Bryan's reception in New Jersey was demonstrative one.
 At Washington Park, on the New Jer- sey side of the Delaware river, below Philadelphia, he addressed more than 2O,- 900 persons, his audience according him an ovation.
 Great Crowds Turn out.
 F]n route here MT. Bryan spoke at Cam den and Burlington to great crowds and shook hands with many hundreds of per- sons. Standing on the rear platform of his car in Camden the democratic can- didate assured his hearers that the voters were studying the issues of the cam paign. He declared that in every state Af a democratic party, and that there was no place in the United States where the changes were from that party. Incidental iy, he again attacked T. Coleman Dupont of the republican executive committee, reiterating his former charge that MT. Dupont as trust magnate was unfit to occupy the position of attempting to in- stitute reforms. Along the lines from Camden here, stops were made at Q dozen places, at all of which large crowds turned out and gave him an enthusiastic welcome. MT. Bryan's speech in this city tonight covered much of the same ground gone over during the day.
 Taylor Opera house, where he spoke here was crowded from pit to dome. Seated on the stage were a number of the members of the democratic state committee, including State Chairman James R. Nugent. The meeting was enthusiastic and contained many demo- crats who had been opposed to MT. Bryan In his former campaigns. Among those occupying seats in the boxes was former Supreme Court Justice Van Syckle.
 MT. Bryan left on a late train for Rochester, N. Y.
