be obliged to bear the odium and will
suffer accordingly.
Coercion of federal Office holders
was first employed to secure the re-
publican nomination for Judge Taft
and resort has been made to the same
methods in the contest against Mr..
Bryan But the effort to make the
hard working and frequently under
paid rural delivery carrier get in line
for Mr.. Roosevelts candidate has just
come 10 the knowledge of the demo-
cratic national committee.
The Crowning Developments.
The crowning development to re
tiound TO the benefit of the democratic
national ticket. is the out-and-out at
! titude of Joiin d. Rockefeller and An
drew Carnegie in favor of Taft. Their
own. statements in behalf Of the re-
publican national ticket, almost defiant
! in their nature. accompanied as they
are by the disclosures of the fact that
! both have put millions into the Golfers
of the republican national committee
/ in desperate determination TO carry
New York and turn the tide in Ohio
and Indiana have given the lie to the
attempt to show that Standard Oil is
in any way favorable to Bryan's elec
ton. The people now realize two
things, first where the two most gigan
tic trusts in the world are allied il
the present campaign. and secondl,
why the republican national commit
tee has studiously avoided the publ
cation of it's campaign contribution!

PAIR RIDE HOME

Indianapolis. Ind, Oct 31.-Some-
thing new in aeronautics was attempt
ed here yesterday when a monster bal
loon shot up into the air with an au-
tomobile in the place where the basket
is usually suspended. The ascension
was made at p. m, the balloon car
|rying two occupants, Carl G. Fisher of
indianapolis and G. l.. Bumbaugh of
Springfield, Ill.
The idea of the aeronauts in using
the automobile instead of basket is
to be able to Immediately roll up the
balloon, load it in the automobile and
return to the place of starting or some
other destination. Dayton, Ohio, is
said to be the objective point of the
trip. A southeasterly direction was TAX

Washington, Oct. 81. = President
Roosevelt has been given vast
amount of information regarding Judge
Taft's labor record in letter from H.
r. Fuller, national legislative repre-
sentative of the Brotherhood of Loco

ginemen and Trainmen. This letter is
in reality organized labor's reply to
President Roosevelt, who found an ex-
cnse for addressing and publishing a
letter to p. H. Grace, the Binghampton
IN. W railway employe, in order to
place Judge Taft before labor in a ia
vorable light. In his letter TO the pres
ident Mr.. Fuller shows that Mr. Roose

Chicago, Oct. 31.-(Argus Special
The confidence which the professional
and business world have in Mr.. Bryan
is expressed in numerous kilograms
and letters which have come to the
democratic national committee upon
the eve of election Nowhere is this
confidence set forth more forcibly than
i'll two kilograms received here yester-
day - one from Samuel Undermeyer,
one of the best known lawyers of the
country and leader of the New York
bar, and the other from Perry Belmont,
who for years has fought with con-
sress and outside of congress for the
publicity of campaign funds and for
the first time in a national campaign
has seen the democratic party made
known its contributions before elec-
ton
Mr.. Undermeyer wires: 1T is i'm
possible TO conceive how any legiti-
mate business interest could be in
jured by Mr.. Bryan's election He has
conducted the most dignified, conser-
vatiye campaign that we have known
in many years, and has advanced no
policy which is not in the interest of
honest enterprise. The business men
Of America are too intelligent to be
deceived by the false cry that has
lbeen raised TO prevent a much needed
fchange from the administration under
which We have suffered and are suf-
fering from one of the most disastrous
fand protracted paiiics in our history.
Ii instead of the puril and futile eff
forts TO restrain our great financial
and commercial buccaneers that have
unsettled and almost paralyze.. busi-
ness without correcting the evils fr--n
which we are suffering a few of the
offenders should be sent to Jail we
would rid ourselves of the oppressors
and depressions of the trusts without
any of the attendant evils that are
now affiicting us. If besides Bryan
win destroy the tariff wall, behind
which the worst of the offenders are
lsheltered, our problems will be solved
Why not try? We could not be a
more completely tariff trust prosecuted
nation than we now find ourselves as
the result Of u years of republican
, rule

DEMOCRATIC OPTIMISM PREVAILS THE
COUNTRY OVER ON TIE EVE OF ELECTION

have good reason TO believe that Bryan
has even a shade the best of the con
test in that state.
strength of Bryan Increases.
As the situation settles, the strength
Of Bryan increases. During the past
10 days two important matters have de-
veloped which have operated TO the
Immense advantage of the democrats.
The first of these was the discovery of
Judge Taft's decision while on the
bench reducing wages of railway em-
|ployes to 81 day in order that rail
road in the hands of a receiver might
Iooiltinue to pay interest on bonds.
This decision is TO be found in the
Federal Reporter, Vol g.. and has fix
ed upon him the title of ''Dollar-a Day
Taft. The declaration made by Judge
Taft in this decision that the appeal
ling railroad employees had mo stand
ing in court" and that if they were not
satisfied with the wage they could
leave the employment, and had the eff
! feet of solidifying against him the
labor vote, and has resulted in lining
up against him others who believe in
/ fair wages.
The other imporiant development i:
the exposure by the New York World
of Candidate Shermans record in the
New Mexico land fraud cases. MIR
Sherman has been utterly unable t.

Chicago, Oct 31.-A spirit of optim-
ism pervades the democratic headauar-
ters, and there is a feeling of conf
dence among the managers more pro-
nounced than in any campaign since
1892. The leaders who have been in
close touch with the trend of political
sentiment throughout the so-called
doubtful states, have, within the past
few days, received assurances which
leads them TO believe that the battle
for Bryan and democracy has won, and
that election day will only record the
victory.
Confidential and final reports from
Ohio and Indiana show that these
|states are safe for Bryan, not by mea.
ger but substantial majoritie5. despite
the stream of gold which is pouring III
from the republican national commit
tee Bryan's great campaign in New
York and the reception which he has
been rendered leads to the belief; thai
the situation there is even more ia
vorable than the very f1attering reports
have Indicated. The democratic lead
ers are of the opinion now that Bryan
will not be far behind Chanler in New
York City, and that he will run neck
andneck with the gubernatorial candi
date up the state. Confidence in boti
candidates getting comfortable major
tiles in New York is growing instea,
Of diminishing. Iowa is said to have
surprise in store. Up TO the presen
time, in order to avoid the charge o
rainbow-chasing, the democrats hav'
said little about Iowa, but the situa
ton there is now so favorable that the

Bryan's Answer to Rockefeller.
Cleveland. Oct 31.-Bryan i'll the
course of his speech in Ohio yesterday
said the morning papers give as Rock
efeller's reasons for supporting Taft:
IF for no other reasons | support
Taft because on comparing him per-
sonally with Bryan, his chief opponent,
find balance. fitness and tempera-
ment entirely on his side. The elec-
| ton of Taft will, | believe, make for
law and order and the stability of
business. He is not man inclined
TO rash experiments or TO. impede the
return OF prosperity by advocating
measures as subversiye TO industrioi
progress There are several things
about this statement that deserve at
| tention. The first clause says il for
no other reason. but there is already
a reason. He is for Taft because Taft
is for him. He is for Taft because
Taft is in sympathy with the trusts.
Taft has been making speeches for
many weeks. He has not yet dwelt
upon infduities OF the trusts or point
ed out the injustice done 10 the Amer
lean people by them. No wonder
Rockefeller is for Taft.
Again Rockefeller says Taft's elec-
tion will make for law and order This
is false. The Rockefeller corporation
is the most notorious law breaker in
thc United States and he is for Taft
because he does not want the law en-.
forced.
Rockefeller also SAYS Taft's elec-
tion will make for stability of business
What kind OF business stability OF the
trust business is what he means. He
thinks Taft's election will enable the
trusts to get a tighter grasp upon the
American people and put their extor
ton upon more permanent founda
ton. He says Taft is not a man in
ciined to rash experiments. He might
have omitted the word rash for Tai
is not in favor Of any kind of expert
ments in the way of remedial 4egisla
ton. He does not propose remedies
ne simply glories in the past ant
wants to leave conditions as they are
Rockefeller says Taft would no
advocate measures subverSive Of in
dustrial progress, but what is indus
trial progress? Is it industrial prog
ress to allow one corporation to swal
low up or bankrupt all other corpora
:. tions and then hold the country at it
mercy? Democrats have reason to b

mask off the republican campaign an
