Senator Pettigrew a Visitor to Fair vfew-Judge West, a Republican, of Oklahoma, Believes Dem-
 ocrnfs Will Win.


 adequate funds to pay the legitimate expenses, but the question of who is to put up the money Is one which has been the subject of discussion ever since the nominations at Denver were made. While 1t is admitted that from number of sources individual contributions of considerable size will be made. the decision has been reach- ed that the bulk of the fund is to come from the masses. A sum not less ihan $500.0o0 Is regarded as necessary to meet expenses Of the campaign.
 Tho subject was talked over at length to-day by Mir. Bryan and fornl- CT Senator R. F. Pettigrew. of South Dakota. a member of the finance com mittee and tonight with Gov. c. N. Haskell, treasurer of the Democratic national committee. The decision was reached that the finance committee should meet in Chicago next Monday and at once enter upon the work of organization and of perfecting plans for raising funds. e&
 Mr. Pettigrew came direct from New York where he was in conference with Chairman Mack and other party leaders.
 Not all the Democrats I met" said MT. Pettigrew, will support Mir. Bry- an, but their defection will have no effect on the result because the Dem ocrats are nearer together than ever before. New York is certainly Demo- cratic this year. found many Demo- crats of great wealth who heretofore were opposed to our candidates but this year they are with us, These men, who acquired their mohey hon. estly, intend to lend substantial finan- cial aids to our cause"
 As the result of the visit of Mir. Pettigrew 1t was disclosed that Mir Bryan contemplates still another change In his program. The plan now Is that following his speech at Topeka he will proceed to Mitchell s. D., where he will deliver an ad- dress on August 29. The following day, Sunday. will be spent in Sioux Falls. and from there he will go to St. Paul. where he is scheduled to speak on August 31. On September ? Mr. Bryan will speak at the Nebraska State fair in Lincoln.
 Eugene W. Chain, of Chicago, pro- kibitionist nominee for the presidency, to-day announced his intention to call on Mir. Bryan tomorrow. Mir. Ctafin reached Lincoln this morning and tonight delivered lecture at Epworth Park.
 Among MT. Bryan's callers to-day was w. A. Holiingsworth, of Atchi- son, Kansas, a member of the grand council of the United Commercial Travellers, and of the Supreme coun- ell of the Elks.
 Mir. Hollingsworth has been in at- tendance on the meetings of the form CT organization in Texas and Louis lana and of the Elks at Dallas. He informed MT. Bryan that She travel ing men were favorable to him, and that at the meeting of the Elks a poll disclosed that a majority of the del- egates would vote the Democratic ticket.
 Bishop ". F. Oldham, of the Meth- odist Episcopal Church in charge of The mission in the Philippines and the Malay Islands also was caller. He met Mr. Bryan at Singapore on his trip around the world. Bishop Oldham unfolded to Mir Bryan a plan for the building of college at Singa- pore to give religious instruction to the youth of the world regardless of nationality. The idea met with instant favor and Mir. Bryan handed the bishop letter commenting 1t.
 Bishop Oldham was loud in his praise of Mir. Bryan because. as he said. ''he has endeared himself to all missionaries by his manifest interest in our work"
 From the lips of a Republican Mir. Bryan to-day was told that the Dem oeratic party would win this year because it is closer to the people"
 The statement was by Judge G. s. West of Wellston. Oklahoma, who came out to Fairview to meet the Democratic candidate.
 "The people are dissatisfied with the inaction of the Republican Senators of the Aldrich and Hale type" he said. They are with the Democratic party on it's labor plank. Added to this the coming of a panic during a Repubii- can administration when the people have always been told by Republican orators that panics thrive only during Democratic times, the people have a desire for a change"
 When Governor Haskell left the Bryan home sh ortly before midnight after an extended conference with Mfr. Bryan. he said about $19,000 had been contributed to the Democratic campaign fund. all voluntarily. from six or seven States. Of this amount, $500 had been sent in by The Commercial-Appeal of Memphis, Tenn.
 Governor Haskell left tonight for Chicago.
 Confers Wlth Agr Mack
 Fairview. Lincoln. Neb., Aug. 7.- Candidate W. J. Bryan and National Chairman Norman E. Mack were in conference today over the long dis tance telephone.
 Mir. Mack arrived in Chicago this morning and at once got in communi- cation with Fairview. While the sub jects discussed were not disclosed by Mir. Bryan. 1t is understood that the conversation had to do among other things with the failure of the Western Traffic Association to make special rates to Lincoln upon the occasion of the notification. Aug. i2. If Mir, Bryan expressed any feeling of disap- pointment, he did not show 1t, when the matter was preached to him by the newspaper men, Although the action of the railroads will probably prevent a number of persons from coming to Lincoln to witness the notifi- cation ceremonies, the local committee on arrangements. of which Mayor Brown is the chairman, is going stead fly on with the preparations for the event.
 Mir. Bryan is availing himself of the cool weather by utilizing every spare moment of his time in preparing the set speech he will make. The one on the tarifr is expected to be an exhaus- tive treatment of the subject and will be one of the most important of his utterances during the campaign. The speech will be delivered at Indianap- oils.
