NEW YORK, Oct. 6.-Campaign de-
velopments have come thick and fast
within the last few days. The Bryan
balloon is in state of collapse, and
In order to keep it up at all the Has

The Oklahoma governor had become

one connected with Democratic nation.
al headquarters except Bryan himself,
and with obvious barriers placed by
Bryan to avoid a sought meeting with
the Democratic candidate. In which
Haskell at the last hour hoped to pal
late, the Oklahoman at bay had to
resign. The whirlwind of public opin.
ion had found him in his cyclone cellar
Of bank guarantee.
Distillation Of opinion about Demo
cratic and Republican headquarters is
that Mr.. Bryan has only to blame him
ssf for Haskell. Government in Okla
homa and the personality of its govern
or were inspirations that gave the
Democratic candidate for president his
material for campaigning. The gas
was bad and the balloon Is sagging
badly.
The thought uppermost In the minds
Of Democrats and Republicans alike
is whether Mr.. Bryan will not even
at this late stage promulgate new Is
sues that have not the Haskell brand
Piping on the old songs will not seem
Ike the same music to the ears Of
his hearers for the linnet has lost his
note.
Ehe situation, perhaps, would not be
80 bad nor the disaster SO great had
not Mr.. Bryan known his Haskell
He was told all about him long ago.
Under the circumstances 1t is hard
to assume that the mystery Of the
$500, 900 contribution to the Democrat
ic campaign fund and the evinced abil-
ity of Haskell as treasurer Of the
fund to provide the sinews OF war
made 1t easier to hope that he would
not be found out?

was missed and neighbors began a
