An Hour Later the Kidnapers Re-

Affair Is Wrapped in
Mystery.

Fort Worth, Texas, Oct. IA
With one fighting to overpower the
desperately resisting girl the other
madly beating painting horse, two
men in a buggy just at dusk last
night raced west on Arlington boule-
ward carrying frightened, scream
ing and struggling girl whom they
had picked up at the west end of the
bridge across the Trinity river. AL
though the girl shrieked for help
and Historically demanded to be
freed, the buggy was driven at a
mad pace in westward direction
until it disappeared In the night.
Even after the vehicle had been
swallowed in the darkness the start

by the girls screams could hear her

MONEY NEEDED FOR CAMPAIGN
Congressman Randell Says Texans
sShaalA Make Biz. Contributions.

Congressman Slayden Of the San
Antonio district was in Sherman
Monday afternoon to confer with
Congressman Randell concerning
the raising of funds for the national
democratic campaign. Congressman
Randell being in Waxahachie a con-
ference could not be held but tele-
phone conversation took place be-
tween them this afternoon. Con-
gressman Slayden came to Dallas
last night and talked from that
place. The purpose Of this confer
ence was the discussion of ways and
means for inducing the democrats of
Texas to increase their contributions
to the national campaign fund. Con-
gressman Slayden is a member of
the finance committee of the natiOn-
al democratic executive committee.
Congressman Randell stated to the
reporter that he was intensely in
terested In the success of the party
this year and especially in the cleo
ton OF democratic congressman in
the doubtful states OF the north and
east. He believes success is in sight
!, IL only enough money can be secur-
ed to prosecute an active and vigor-
l-ous campaign from now until cleo
| tion day. He said the democrats of
Texas ought by all means to give
at least 5000 900 for use Of the ma
tional campaign committee. This, he
said. would be about fifty cents for
each democratic voter In the state.
! 1t is his earnest desire that the dem
ocrats of the state wake up to the
Importance of the need OF money to
send speakers and literature into the
doubtful states. Mr.. Randell will
leave for the east Monday to deliver
number OF speeches In the interest
of the ticket.

Culberson Declares that Change
Of Sentiment Is Toward
Bryan
WILL CARRY NEW YORK
The Non-CommittaI Vote Is Great
Silent Factor in Present Cam
paign-Democrats Of Stale
Are United.

New York, Oct 13-The follow
ing interview has been given to the
New York World by Senator Charles
A. Culberson:
Since coming to New York in
August, in connection with the ma
tional campaign and after looking
into political conditions here. the
change of sentiment toward Mr.. Bry-
an as it developed from week to
week has seemed to me remarkable.
THE indications published in the
World of last Sunday on the vote of
New York state bear out my person
|al observation and opinion. When it
is remembered that Mr.. Bryan lost
the state of New YORK in 1900 by
143,009 plurality, the indicated plu-
rality against him now of only 49,
600 is under the circumstances as
tonishing particularly when looked
at with reference to the fact that the
change has taken place, in "a large
ldegree since his nomination III July.
This is due, in part. | think to the
platform upon which his candidacy
is based, most of which appeals
strongly to the great body of the
people, in part to the manly and elo
quent campaign he is making, in
lpart to the practical unification Of
the democratic party and in part to
the passing away of the apprehen-
sion among the unprejudiced OF all
who conduct legitimate business that
his election would produce CONNER
cial and industrial disaster.
Assuming that the tables OF the
World are correct and reliable, and
that the process adopted IN estimat-
| ing the vote not shown in the re-
sponses as correct, still when the 81
lent non-committal vote, which Is
greater than in any recent campaign
is considered, the outlook for MI
Bryan is even more favorable than
appears from the figures of the
| World
Indeed, if the campaign is prop
| erly and wisely and vigorously con
Quoted from now on, there is every
reason to believe that he will carry
! the state of New York, and be elect
1 ed to the presidency. The friends of
good government here and through
out the country are entitled to feel
that the situation is most encourag-
ing and that with redoubled energies
lduring the remainder of the cam
paign to meet those which the re-
Ipublieans will put forth, the victory
should be won.'

AUSTIN PREPARES FUR SO[ONS
Accommodations for Members Of The
3lst Legislature Being Made.

Austin, Texas, Oct 13-Although
there are three months yet to lapse
before the thirty-first legislature
convenes in the big granite building
on the hill, the various hotels, board
ing houses and rooming houses, are
already making arrangements for
housing and feeding the lawmakers
during their three months sojourn
here. Even the barber shops are lay
ing in an extra supply of razors to
skin, no to shave the Whiskers of the
solons. During the first sixty days of
legislative session, the lawmakers
usually have the tonsoriaI artist OPP
crate on them, but after that time
the average legislator operates on
himself. The reason for this is OBJ
yious. The first sixty days the per-
diem is s5 and after that period the
pay is reduced to 50, and with no
railroad passes, consequently it will
be easily observed that the next ses-
! sion of the legislature will not be
unduly prolonged.
| Indeed, practically every prospec-
| tive legislator who has visited Aus
tin since the primaries, and even the
holdover senators, when interviewed
as to the probable length of the ses-
sion are almost unanimous that it
will be short. The reason assigned
generally for this view of the matter
is that there will not be SO very
much to do, and there will be no star
engagement of various cations and
lappointing of various brands of in
vestigating committees.
There are this season, an unusu-
ally large crop of candidates for the
various Offices and the democratic
nominees are already being burden
ed with applications from persons
wanting a clerkship or some kind of
a position in the legislature. 1t is al
ready patent that there will be four
fat jobs less this year at the disposal
of the lawmakers than has been
heretofore-that Is the postmaster
ship of both branches of the legis-
llature. From time immemorial there
has always been postmaster and
an assistant in the house and also
lone and an assistant in the senate.
These have always been considered
good, fat and easy jobs, and easy to
handle. usually they have been Allied
by ladies, some times fair and at
tractive ones, but there will be no
apparent necessity for such officers
in the makeup of the next legislature
due to the fact that during the year
there has been established a branch
or postal station on the ground floor
of the state house and the mail Is
brought up there by the postal au.
