 "Where does Haskell come in,
 Taking notice of the remark, MT. Bryan angrily replied:
 "well, Sir. you have enough in your party, why don't you attend to your own iinen.' f,
 The crowd shouted and the man was silenced.
 Previously to this episode Mir. Bryan brought cheers when he stated that he had been getting good reports from Iowa.
 T have heard. from number of sec tions of the state" he said. that the trend Is toward the Democratic par ty. think 1t ought to be done. The Republican platform does not present any definite remedial measure. may state large majority of the Republi- cans of Iowa really agree with the Democratic policies rather than those supported by the Republican leaders.
 "Neither would they dare" he said. "endorse the rejection by the Repub- fican convention of the plank of elec- ton of senators by direct vote be- cause even Mir. Taft has repudiatsd that action and said that personally he Is inclined to favor that proposi- tfon.'
 Discussing the tarin question. the Democritic candidate attacked the Nn.~- .N-a duction.
 we have got past the day when we want probable reduction" he de- elared. We have reached the time when we want aNcertain reduction and that is what the Democratis platform pledges"
 He then took up the trusts and labor institutions, his renlarks being sub stantially along the lines of tis prev ious arguments.

 The question of the authenticity Of this article seems to me not only im- portant from the standpoint of the criminal law. but to have large pub lie importance.

MEETINGS OF
 THE CABINET Devoted Entirely to Political Campaign. PLANS FOR IAFI's ELECTION Affairs of Government Relegated
 to the Rear. several Prominent Republicans Have Begged the President to stop Civ ing Out Manifestoes From the
 White House.
PLANS FOR TAFI's ELECTION
nr AIrnEp ,. sroFER.

Washington. D. C., Sept. 2s.-(Spe- clal.)-Meetings of the Roosevelt Cab met. are, from what can be heard among those who claim to know some thing about them. now devotes almost entirely to the political campaign.
 Affairs that relate to the carrying on of the government are said to have been relegated to the rear and every thing Is being directed towards devis- ing methods to elect Taft President. So much has to be done to stop the assertions from the Republican hosts that there is not time to attend to government business.
 The talk here Is that the statement given out by Chancellor Day. of Syra- euse University, has greatly nettled Roosevelt. It is expected that he will take occasion to answer It, though 1t is also well known that several prom inent Republicans have begged him to stop giving out manifestoes from the White House. They are reported to have suggested that information from all sections. but particularly in the east. Is that people are declaring that there is "Too Much Roosevslt' in this contest. But the Presidents ire Is aroused, and few people believe that ho will cease his replies to what he considers attacks upon My Policies"
 Reliable information shows that something more than a month ago. in- structions were sent to all Standard Oil employees that men who did not support Taft need not be surprised If they received no advancement. Those who voted for Bryan were given to understand that they would be .discIp- lined" This leaked out because quite q number of Bryan men employed by the company have been complaining. Since Roosevelt has attacked the com pany so viciously. 1t is declared that the high officials have about concluded to let their employees vote as they please. Roosevelt. they feel, has been mon thleves in his fsfereBces to them.

 If some of those who contributed to our fund of less than $300.o00 had pecuniary interest in the result of the election. how will you explain the enormous contributions to the Re- publican fund? If you will remember. the Democratic platform candidly de- clares the party's purpose If the carrying out of that policy would have been of advantage to any one. tho whole public had knowledge and the publication of the contributions would not have affected tho result. Publicity as to campaign funds Is not needed to make known that which Is disclosed by platform. but to direct attention to secret agreements. ex- pressed or implied, which would oth- erwise be concealed from the public. You certainly pay more attention to the mote than to the beam when you Ind fault with our national campaign fund in 1896, and ignore the signia- canoe of fund almost as large which at your request was collected from a few persons in 1904 and was used in one state and was only small item in the fund collected that year.

 Opposition to Publicity.
 You are the first conspicious member of your party to attempt an explanation of the party's opposition or publicity before the election, and the admission which you make will embarrass your party associates Your position Is that the publication before election of the contributions made to your campaign fund would furnish your political opponents an op- portunity to give flase impression as to the fitness of the candidates. You. cite as illustrations the contributions made to Governor Hughes campaign fund, the contribution coiIerted by Mir. Hartman and the coutrif,utiona which are now being collected for Mir Taft's campaign fund.
