ARMY OFFICER PLEASED
 WITH SOLDIERS OF MOBILE

Mobile. Jan, 12-(Special)-T re- port of Lieutenant J. l.. Deegan, Twelfth Cavalry. U. S. A., on the con dition of the Alabama National Guard here has been made public and in every way is very gratifying to the com manding officers and men of the 1st Regiment.
 While the report throughout Is very complimentary to the regiment as a whole, his report on Company M. Mobile Rifles, Is a source of much pleasure to members of that company. He dwells on the physical appearance of the men, and also their character and states that 1t is a very efficient military organization"
 Lieutenant Deegan was here some months ago and inspected the 1st Regiment thoroughly. His report has just been made public.

The Harmon BOOmlet.

Some of the Ohio Democrats have started a Presidential boom for for mer Attorney General Judson liar mon of Ohio. This would seem seem to ih1 m be made to tie up the Denver conVen- tion in the hope of deefating the nom ination of MT. Bryan. As matters stand, Governor Johnson of Minneso- ta, Judge Gray of Delaware, Louis Stuyvesant Chanler of New York, and MT. Harmon are Mir. Bryan's oppon- is a large element in the Democratic party opposed to the nomination of Mr. Bryan, but there does. not seem to be one chance in a Hundred to still a preponderating element in nearly all the States and when the time comes to select delegates 1t will be found that he has plenty Of support
 Observant men, even among those who do not like Mir. Bryan, are com pelled to acknowledge his great strength before the people, Not one of the gentlemen mentioned as com petitors for the nomination could come within 100000 votes of Bryan's strength, and this is the potent fact that will bowl all these favorite sons out when nominating time come.
 The only movement that gave any promise whatever of nominating some a candidate among the Southern statesmen. It happened that the Northern conservatives did not take eagerly to the proposition until 1t was too late and then it was that MT. .. Bryan's nomination became a certainty.
 We have no criticism to make of the friends of the gentlemen who for reasons satisfactory to th hemselves urge the nomination of sone other man . That is Democratic right and it serves to stimulate the party interest. Every loyal Democrat has a right to contest for the nominaion and it is not indicative of treason or disloyalty to MT. Bryan when he does so. The point, is after the nomination let every Democrat support the ticket and then we shall get results.

IL was~ obvious that funds which had been withheld through a lingering spirit of distrust of the against ppossSs tra or as Wspe returning freely to central reserve points. The basis of credits is greatly expanded by this process. The sur render of the privilege Of deposit of part Of their cash in the reserve and central reserve cities and it's recall home in the panic was the central fac- tor in producing the banking crisis and the retention of this cash was the cause of the prolongation of the crisis and the maintenance of the premium on currency. The anxiety caused by that prolongation up to the end of the year may be said to be now complete to solvent business is concerned. New York has ceased to draw gold from London and rapid recuperation of the Bank of England bullion holdings has followed. The Bank of France mark ed down it's official discount rate from to 1-2 per cent. and market rates of discount receded in all the foreign markets. In New York the most im- was the springIng, up of an active de- mand for commercial papers, which effectively relieved the deadlock in that department and quieted the fears of cantile world from inability to secure extension of large maturing obiiga- tions.
 In the security market. the effect of this increase of facilities for conduct ing speculative operations has been pronounced. The resulting outbreak of speculation showed increasing anima- Iion and was stimulated by various professional devices and by the dis semination of rumors of important de- velopments. The need of a large un- covered short interest was an import ant contributing factor to the rapid advance which developed and furnished the material for much of tue demand forced by the bidding up of prices of the organized bull party in the mar ket.

dent making has been a favorite pas
time along the Hudson's classic banks,
There are envious people In the mid.
die west and elsewhere who say that
all this is nov changed; that the pri.
macy of New York in national politics
Is at an end. This may be so. Yet so
long as New York has ~thirty-nine votes
In the electoral college she will con
dnue to be an important factor. Politi-
clans are not ruled by sentiment how
ever much they may claim otherwise.
and thirty.nine electoral votes all in
one bunch look very good to them.
Here is the way the Democratic poll
tic1ans regard the matter. and the
view Is not without its common sense.
The Democrats al possibly win If
they carry New York. 1t all hinges on
that They certainly cannot win with
out 1t. Owing to the split up condition
OF the Republicans In the Empire State
there Is a chance for the Democrats to
carry New York this year. MI. Chan
Ter actually did carry it two years ago.
Therefore, reason the politicians afore-
said. the logical candidate for presi-
dent-indeed, the only candidate that
a WINS Lewis S%tuyvesant Chanler.
But how a you reason with a popu-
lar wave? The heart Of the masses
Gays Bryan, and. If Providence or Bry-
an himself does not interpose. Bryan it
will probably be.
There is n other factor in the equa-
ton. however. The Independence
league, the organization that originally
nominated Chanler for lieutenant gov.
ernor and that helped to elect him,
threatens to place a candidate for pres
ident in the field. This candidate, of
course, will be Hearst, for Hearst is the
league. Hearst Will draw votes from

for election, which never were too
promising.

Effective Speaker.

During the carlraiGH of 1906 Lieu
tenant Governor Chanler developed
Into one Of the most effective speakers
OF the platform. He was SO intensely
In earnest. so individual and so indie
pendent that he c%aptivated his audi
enccs everywhere. His constant care
was to present his arguments In new
and striking ways. He would get up
in the middle Of the night to jot down
some point. One day while out with
Mr.. Hearst he felt a new speech rag
ing inside Of him and hunted up a
stenographer to whom to deliver 1t.
The stenographer was new. and MI.
Chanler talked with great rapidity. AS
a result she got a word now and then
and guessed ut the rest with more or
less startling results.
When the Grafton was typed Chanler
handed it over to Hearst without
glancing at it himself. Hearst strug-
gled with it for about FIVE minutes
and handed 1t back with a puzzled and
injured air.
II think, Chanler," he remarked,
with some heat, that you are a ID
anarchist or you have adopted some
new and untried language that eve
Roosevelt hasn't heard Of"
Chanler looked at the chaos Of words
that should have been his speech,
bought the stenographer a box Of bon
bons and advised her to 60 back to
washing dishes.
Most Of the Chanler brothers are
sportsmen, Bob being a great rabbit
and coon hunter in Duchess county
and Billy having shot lions in Africa.
Lewis Stuyvesant is an exception,
however. HE Is a serious minded
chap" says a friend, "who goes after
q thing as If his whole life depended
on it. He isn't q crank or anything
Of that sort, but he's earnest In every
thing he does, and he tries harder
than any man I know"
Mrs. Chanler was a Miss Alice
Chamberlain of Red Hook, and there is
now a family Of two sons and one
daughter. The lieutenant governor is
not yet forty and has the possibility
of many accomplishments ahead Of
him, even though n Of them is not
being president or the Democratic can
lidate therefor, which is not exactly
the same thing.
AS second officer of the Empire State
Mr.. Chanler has made a distinctly ia.
vorable impression. In New York the
lieutenant governors Office is more i'm
portant than in most states, for the
reason that the incumbent is a mem
Der of several boards and chairman Of
some Of them. These boards hav, Q
