President Roosevelt complaining that
although he is one of eight brothers
who have always voted the republican
/ ticket straight, he was euchred out OF
his vote this year The president re-
| ferred it to the national committee and
the national committee passed it on to
! the state committee and that body, un-
der instructions from General Stone
who attends to all such weighty mat
tiers, will take the complaint up with
the proper county officials in the south
! land.
BOURBONS COUNT ON VICTORY
John f. Murray, secretary of the
democratic state committee. still sticks
to his original figures of 10000 state
plurality and 5000 city plurality for
Bryan. Murrays conservatism stands
out in violent contrast to the ever adj
vancing claims of other men around
state HEADQUARTERS.
Thomas e. Hayden. president of the
Iroquois club, returned from Bakers
field yesterday, where he left the Bell
| Phelan special, with all sorts of glow
ing reports of successful meetings. He
declares that this is no longer doubt
full state, but that it is now safely
slowed in the democratic gripsack OF
| one w. J. Bryan.
David Reese Smith, formerly of Cali
fornia, but more recently of Mexico, is
the latest spellbinder to invade the
| local field in behalf on the bourbon
cause. Smith stumped with Bryan or
two former occasions and has beer
called from the land of so cent dollars
| to raise his voice on the Pacific coast.
