has made some speeches in New YORK
City and New Jersey, and is soon to
undertake a tour of two weeks dura-
ton thru the Middle West. Mr.. Sher-
mans activity as an orator will be di-
rected largely against Bryan, and there
is little doubt that he will draw Bryan's
fire. Such charges enable Mr.. Bryan
to keep away from his own record, on
which Mr.. Taft is now striving to focus
public attention. AS an orator and
stumper Mr.. Sherman has shown in
more than one campaign that he is very
well able to take care of himself. He
may not rate Bryan in this campaign,
but it is hardly probable that Mr.. Sher-
nan is afraid of what Mr.. Brayn may

probable, the Republican nominee for

Altho he has been doing it very quiet
Kern has been campaigning quite eX-

been stumping Maryland, where he is
credited with having made a very good
impression, and with having done some
thing toward bringing that State into
the Bryan column. He is close reason
er, and gets along we'll with his audi
ences. The old-time German followers
in the back Counties of Maryland took
to him, and Mr.. Kern has done some-
thing toward reconciling them to the
nomination of the Peerless One of Fair

A score of seasoned Congressmen-

Scores of Congressional districts, to use
a current political term, have been shot
