DEMOCRATS PUT, QUESTIONS TO AT-
 TORNEY GENERAL.
ChaIFman Daniels Files Census of Questions on Trusts With BO-
 napRrte, Who, He Says, is
 ConfusfnR.-

Chicago. Oct. 5.--Addressing an open letter to Attorney General Bonaparte tonight, Josephus Daniels, chairman of the Publicity Bureau of the Democratic National Committee, asserts that the Attorney GeneraIA in his recent reply to the inquiry for statement show ing how many trusts doing business in the United States had been prosecuted by the Department of Justice. did not furnish the prosecutions under the Sherman antitrust law with the pros- cautions of railroads and individuals under other acts.
 Mfr Daniels submits to the Attorney General questions as follows:
 FIrst-How many of the 2S7 trusts, giivnR names. doing business in the United States, have been prosecuted by. the present administration?
 Second-How many of these trusts. naming them separately. have been fined, and the separate amounts?
 Third-After a trust has been fined, what other steps have been taken to prevent it's continuing It's Illegal prac- tices for which it was forced to pay the penalty?
 Fourth-How many of the officials of these PSF trusts have been criminally prosecuted and how many have been convicted and the term of imprison- ment, giving the names of each person who has been imprisoned for violating the laws?
 Tn concluding, Mir. Daniels declares thai even where. the administration has successfully consummated prosecutions the guilty trusts have continued their illegal operations and that the penal- flee imposed are analogous to police fines, that is regarded as license to continue.

'COMER SEES
 ROOSEVELT Wants Aid of Repub Administration. ATTORNEY GENERAL MAY ACT Alabama Governor Complains of
 the Law. Tells President That Railroad Rates re Bearing =own On Farmers In Shipments of Their
 Cotton.
ATTORNEY GENERAL MAY ACT

Washington. Oct. 5--Shipments of Alabama cotton to Liverpool can be made cheaper than to the New England mills as result of the railroad rate increase. declared Governor Conner. of that State. at a protracted conference today with the President and Attorney General ,Bonaparte.
 Governor Conner appealed to the ad- ministration to take a hand In the ie- gal controversy growing out of the Injunction now preventing the enforce ment of the rate laws of Alabama against railroads so far as interstate shipments are concerned. and 1t is be- lievcd that the Attorney General will take under consideration plans by which the. government may take up the matter under It's own rate laws.
 Governor Conner said the increased rates almost prohibited cotton from leaving the State at all. one result be- ing that Alabama cotton with an in- crease in rate from four to twelve cents a bale to New York and New England. points. cost more to ship to those mills than to Liverpool.
 He said he did not see why his State had been enjoined from decreasing rates on fnterstate shipments while the railroads we're not enJoined from Increasing rates. He declared that the higher tariff to New York and New England than to Liverpool was at- tempted coercion of the State because of It's railroad rate legislation.

HIS arrival from Lincoln shortly be- fore o'clock iR 2 special trolley car, accompanied by 100 members of the Lincoln Home Guards, was the signal for the great demonstration. The car riage in which he rode to the City Park where he spoke to a large audience cotnposed mostly of workp1en in the railroad shops. ran gauntlet Of red fire and Roman candles while the throngs on the sidewalks vociferousiy cheersd him.
 Ills remarks dweit mainly upon the subject of campaign publicity, elect ion of Senators by direct vote of the people and the labor blanks in the Den Yer platform.
 He was unsparing in his attacks on Sn4akaf Cannon, Afr. sherman, the Re- ptbIlean Vice Presidentiai candidate, and M Faft First: refefrlng t0ftise crttieleua that heretofore. had been heaped upon him for travelling over the country dealing out political speeches. Mir. Bryan declared that lie alwayst had believed 1t; was perfectly
 5roper to speak to those who are to vote. He spoke of the fact that twelve years ago he had said that the Presi- dent was only hired man employed uy the people to do what they wanted a President to do. and that although he was criticised by y>New York papers for bringing the high ofhee of President down to- the level of a hired man., he had decided not to take the state-- men back. j In his opinion every pulp lie official is a hired man.
 United tSates Senators are hired men," he declared amid applause. "al- though they do not seem to think so. many of them" :"

 sThrougfihout the day Mir. Taft ham, msted away on the necessity for the voters of the country to unite. that a Democratic tarif revision meant de. struction of the market and prices of products of the farm; that Republican revision meant a continuation of pres ent prices and prosperity. He told the Mlssourians about the Bryan proposi. tfons with respect to the Lrusts-that the Nebraskan would destroy them by putting trust made articles on the free list and by making a law Hrohibiting a trust from manufacturing or con- strolling more than 50 per cent. of any article, while such law, Mir Taft believed, would be difficult to enact. he predicted that it's enforcement would be disastrous.

Neither of the documents filed with the Supreme Court directly charged the Standard oil Company or any of it's officers or agents. with any com pliclty in the alleged bribery. The amendment simply stated that the said Squires had claimed to represent cer- tain of those officials.
 No charge having been made upon which it could act, the Supreme Court. therefore, on the rsth day of Decem- Der, 1899. entered an order that the information filed by the Attorney-Gen- eraf be stricken from the records.
 MT. Monnett mas chosen to connect my name with an order preventing his taking further testimony. The order to which he refers had nothing what ever to do with the bribery charges.
 The statement has also appeared as emanating from Mr. Monnett, that twenty-three boxes of day books and led9efs had been burned. This state ment Is absolutely false. There was no evidence at any time that single day book, ledger or account book of any kind whatsoever had been burned at all. and the dispositions which Mir. Monnett took in his effort to establish that fact ,atterly failed in their pur- nose =

 Statement
Mir. Longworth Says He is Not sur- Prised That Some Democratic Newspaper shouId Have

Cincinnati, Ohio, Oct. 5.--Congress- man Longworth, who was in Cincinnati today, announced as a campaign. lie the widely. printed story that in a speech at Rock Island, Ill.,, he proposed that after Judge Taft had served two terms as President, that President Roosevelt would again be a candidate for the Presidency.
 Congressman Longworth's statement follows:
 The facts of the case are; At q meeting at Rock Island. I was intro- duced by the chairman of the meeting as a son Of Ohio and since Ohio seemed to be determined to break the record as a mother of Presidents. he said in a jocular vein that I probably would be a candidate some time myself. Re- plying in similar vein. I said that I was not there as candidate for any office. l was there to speak of the present and to advocate the election of Judge Taft as President. not in the future but now. said that I believ- ed that confidently that Judge Taft would be elected and that his adminis- tratfon would be so wise that he would serve them another term. After that I said. Ohio would not be selfish and would yield to some other State. per- haps New York--to nominate the next President"
 T had no particular candidate In mind, New York coming first Into my. mind because Of the presence of Mr. Sherman on the platform.
 At that point m0ny people shonts ed Roosevelt" and the audience chear- ed his name loudly.
 T am not surprised that some Dem. ocratfc newspaper should have taken this up, because the Democratic Par- ty Is most anxious to distract the peo- ple's attention from the issues of toe day and talk about either the remote future or the dim past.
 'grhe story that I commented up- on my alleged prediction and said if would be approved by the President ls absolutely false. ! hhve never oesfs thought of, much less mentioned the incident until now
