day when mick" Longworth, as they

in song, and the students cheered. The
speaker declared that while the
doughty Casey had struck out but once
Mr. Bryan had already been struck out

stance of the Democratic national COM
mittee. asking the attorney general how
many OF the 2s7 sO-called trusts OF the
country have been proceeded against In
the courts by the federal government and
how many more cases he expects to file.
Mr.. Daniels letter takes only 100 words,
but appended to 1t is list OF 2s7 alleged
trusts taken, he says. from a list In
.Moody's Manual Of Corporation Securi-
ties" He asks also for the amount of
fines collected from defendant 'trusts'
and the amount Of fines standing against
them but not collected.
It was generally understood Wednes-
day at Manchester, N. H., that Judge
George II bingham of that city, the
Democratic nominee for governor of New
Hampshire, has declined to accept the
party leadership in the state campaign
and has made known his position in the

for the Democratic national commit
tee be established in New York with a
force of clerks under the direction of

possible for the national committee to

AS for Mr. Taft the Democratic

to allow his name to be used on the
second place on the ticket and the
Brockton labor leaders name was
placed with that of Olney and Valley

sition developed to John Golden for
