ELECTION DAY
Bryan Will Remain on Stump
Balance Of Campaign.
COUNCIL OF WAR IS HELD

Democratic National Committeeman,
Following Announcement That Taft
Will Make Speaking Tour Over
Large Part Of Country, Decide That
Their Candidate Shall Not Remain
Idle in October, as Planned.
Chicago, Sept. 9.-Previous to the
invasion of the East by William Jen-
nings Bryan members of the Demo-
cratic national committee held a coun-
ell of war and for several hours stud
led over the plans that have been de-
vised to bring the Democratic cause
to victory. While the national COM
mitteemen were in session there were
conferences Of the advisory and
finance committees and later all three
committees joined in a general con
ference in which MI. Bryan took a
leading part in the deliberations.
While no definite announcement has
been made it is generally believed by
national committeeman that the effort
to have Mr.. Bryan take the stump
during the entire month of October
will prove successful. With the an.
nouncement that Mr.. Taft will make a
speaking trip through the Middle West
and the East the Democratic leaders
believe that the fight should be forced
all along the line until election day
and that to that end Mr.. Bryan should
continue his speaking trips until the
campaign ends. National committee
men from the Far West are trying to
prevail upon Chairman Mack to send
the candidate to the Pacific coast
states, but whether Mr.. Bryan will
make the long westward swing will
depend in great measure on. plans
made for Mr.. Taft's stumping tour.
Chairman Mack and other members of
The committee are not a little con
cerned over the question whether MI.
Bryan's strength would enable him to
duplicate the ardaous campaign of
1896, though Mr.. Bryan has said that
he is willing to do whatever the com.
mittee feels is required to make an
effective fight.
The Bryan and Kern Business Mems
association, with Nathan Straus OF
New York as president and e. L. Col
ira of st. Louis as vice president, was
formally launched upon the political
sea at a meeting of the Democratic
national committee here. The work
Of organizing these clubs, which are
expected to appeal strongly to the
business interests of the country, will
be begun with vigor Immediately.

Its importance was enhanced also by a report from Pittsburg that the subject was figur- ing in the wage negotiations going on be- tween the Western bar iron associations and the Amalgamated Association of Steel work CTS Not only this cut in steel bars. but the prospect of reduction in favor of an agreement for lower wages.

The present unfavorable view of the cut in steel prices, however, Is due more to the feeling that 1t is belated response to a course of affairs that should have been recognized earlier.
