DON'T WANT BRYAN.
Railway Magnates Will Do All They
Can to Beat Him.


Can to Beat Him.
Alarmed by the growing sentiment
among railroad employees for Bryan,
the managers of the Big Four diVis-
ion of the New York Central railroad
are sending a special train across
Ohio with General Manager Van
Winkle and other officials on board,
urging the men to vote for Taft.
The first stop was made at Spring
field, that being headquarters TO:
four divisions of the road.
I'VE haye heard, men," said Mr..
VanWinkle, that you think that We
want you to vote for Bryan. That
is mistake. We hope as many as
possible will vote for Mr. Taft, for
we are convinced that Bryan's cleo
ton would mean four years OF de-
preston. On the other hand, We
think Taft's election will mean pros
perity.
Don't think anybody is going to
be discharged If he votes for Bryan.
We simply want to impress upon you
that work Will be more plentiful II
Taft is elected"
Men holding executive positions on
the road are being asked to talk
Taft to the men under them. In
many instances the action OF the Of
fetal was resented.

Ho TELLS IRtesFseses That Some Elec-
tipa aisssa4ts Yia the papets Did
Not Agree with Reports Received
81 Him. -

After week OF hard campaigning
YIN. j. Bryan, Democratic candidate
fsr President. rested Sunday in New
York. He said that some Of the fore
casts he had seen in the morning
papers did not agree with the reports
chat he, had been receiving.
How do things look, Mr.. Bryan?''
''Yery encouraging" was the re.
ply.
What do you think of Indiana?"
He was asked.
1--WE had very enthusiastic meet
ings there and also in Ohio. The
prospects in both States are very
bright" was the answer.
Mr. Bryan said that all the straw
ballots that had been taken in the
country showed Democratic gains,
Out" he continued. "of course the
accuracy Of the straw ballot depends
upon the way it is taken and the way
the names are selected. You select
3 list Of names to send postal cards
to, you receive many answers, but
you have no way of finding out how
the men who did not answer are
going to vote. The trouble comes
when you try to average the votes
Of the ones who have not responded
with the votes of those who have
responded"
Where have the Democratic
gains been this year in comparison
with other years." the candidate was
asked.
This year the Democrats havs
gained in every State. Heretofo: e
we have made gains in some States
and have lost in other States. This
year there are gains thl oughout the
whole country and gains in every
occupation. There are gains among
the farmers; these gains are very
marked. There are gains among bus
mess, men; professional men. and
especially among college men. That
is the interesting point in this CAM
paign as compared with the other
campaigns that / have had anything
to do with"
what is the reason for this
gain?"
"Only one," replied Mr. Bryan
81 think that it is that the Repu!''
Iican party, in power for twelve
years, has failed to meet the respon-
sibility."
Mr.. Bryan said that the poll il
New York city, the largest city in
the country, and the poll in Iowa
probably the largest agricultural
State, showed that the Democratic
gains were substantially the same
In New York State and city the re-
ports show so per cent gains, and
In Iowa about the same. ..l.-...
