TAKES NICE FALL
OUT OF BRYAN

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 1S.-James w.
Van Cleave, president of the national
association of manufacturers, today
issued an answer to recent reply by
William J. Bryan to an article by Van
Cleave which pointed out why, ac-
cording to Van Cleave, business men
should vote against Bryan.
''The falsity of the insinuation in
the Denver platforms that labor
unions are outlawed," Van Cleavc
says, is shown by the fact that their
members continue in their regular
employment on every working daN in
the year in every town in the United
States"
He then asks: docs not Bryan, as
a lawyer and public man, know that
his platform charges are false?"
He tells Bryan that the national as
ISOLATION of manufacturers, like the
courts, has always recognized the
rights OF the unions to get any terms
from employers they could by ami
cable agreement, but has opposed in
timidation and violence, which, he
says, have sometimes been practiced
by some of the unions.
Does he personally favor the le-
galization of the boycott?" Van
Cleave asks, and lie aids that the
country is interested in getting a
plain, direct answer.
Speaking of the guaranty fund
which the Denver platform urges fol
the payment of depositors of insolv
ent banks, Van Cleave asks:
! docs not Bryan know that thi.
vicious provision would penalize tn,
honest and careful banker for tn,
benefit of the banker who is dishones
and reckless?"

WOULDN'T TIP 1T.

A Toronto man who visited Eng
land last summer appears to think
that country the champion tip taker.
He says:
well, had tipped every man
from the swell gent who seemed to
own the house of commons down to
the hireling who gummed the wrong
labels on my luggage. and l went into
the waiting room on the landing
stage at Liverpool to wash my hands
of everything English and what do
you think stared me in the face when
l had finished? A placard saying,
Please tip the basin. I'll be hanged

BELIEVES BRYAN
HAS No CHANCE

CINCINNATI, Aug 1s.-The Gin
cinnati Enquirer published this morn
ing a striking editorial comment on
the national political situation, in
which it makes clear its belief that
Bryan has small chances of election
to the presidency.
The Enquirer bases it's argument
upon the fact that the Republican
party has coalesced its various fac
tions of radicals and conservatives to
present a solid front for the election
of Taft. The editorial, in part, fol-
lows:
News from the west, from all the
country west of the Ohio river, gives
ample evidence that in every state OF
that vast region the Republican party
has divorced itself from the element
in its ranks that opposed or failed to
heartily approve of the policies of
President Roosevelt.
What has been termed radicalism
is now the orthodox faith in each of
the states of that section, and the ma
tional convention Endorsement of that
administration and its policies is rap
idly being ratified by the party in
county, district and state primaries.
The anti-Roosevelt forces of the
country today in no state of the
union have any political standing or
hold upon the voters of the party
''It is difficult for an onlooker to
see how the Democrats can gain Re-
publican votes in the west under
these conditions. Their chance was
there three months ago, but the He-
publican new alignment surely is now
a barrier.
''Mr Bryan can offer no greater in
ducements than are now offered upon
the bargain counter of the Republican
party in the west. Not an important
radical Republican leader has boltet
his party. Why should he under sucf
favorable conditions to radical ideas
Not an important conservative Re
publican can leave, for all other door
are closed to him.
1T does not look SO favorable t
the Democrats in the west as it di'
one month ago, fortnight ago or {
week ago. The last few days tn
western Republicans seem to hav
cancelled such decree"
