 WILL BE WORKED HARD
Tammany Hall Is Solid for Bryan This Year and Labor Vote Is Swinging Into the Democrat Fold
 By Gompers' Work.

Reports from New York indicate that the poor mouth" being put up by the republican national committee is having l the desired effect and that the repub
 lican organization will yet be able to pay it's bills. The favorable change in the situation is attributed to the visit of Elihu Root to New York last week. It is also related that money is now being greedily taken from quarters which were regarded early in the cam
 paign as being too hostile to the ad-
 minfstration to admit of accpeting a contribution. It is stated that AIr Root and William Nelson Cromwell have become the official hat passers of
 the republican organization and this has the double advantage of relieving
 Treasurer Sheldon and his F trust connections from any embarrassment as
 MT. Sheldon is under hot fire
 No two men in the United State are
 better qualified for the work than Root ana cromwell. Keith CT is compelled to pursue the course of the President four years ago and write My Dear hartman letters. Both are wealthy l men and in touch with the fnanciers Of the country The current report K l that Cromwell supplied the national

 post. Everybody knows he has the in- terests of organized labor at heart. That being the case, why should not the mem- i bers of organized labor pay some atten- ton to his utterances the political sit- uation of the day? Gompers has always been faithful to the trust with which he has been honored, and the majority of the members of the organization will sup port him.

 If conditions throughout the state of Maryland are to be judged by those pre- vailing in western Maryland. there are many indications that the state will go democratic.

This vote has heretofore been almost solldly republican, but it Is believed that the popularity of Lewis the democratic congressional candidate and the labor plank of the Devner plat form will sway large proportion of 1t to the support of Bryan and Kern. Representative John Wesley Gaines Of Tennessee is in Washington today after a weeks stay In New York He is much elated over the political outlook in the Empire State, believing that both Chan Ter and Bryan will carry the state.
