Of Governor.
Sept. %, 1908.
My Dear Sir:-It is not my purpose
at this time to commence an active
canvass for Governor, as think it
proper to wait until after the Presiden-
tial election is over, but some of nv
competitors are already actually pre-
senting their claims to the voters and
asking their support, and have de-
cided that it is only just to myself that
formally acquaint some of my friends
IN each community who have weight
in forming public sentiment of nv
candidacy.
You were kind enough to give me
your support in the last campaign, and
L sincerely trust that nothing has
since occurred which will prevent
your giving me active aid in the coming
contest My political views and opinions
are well known to the people of the
State, as they were freely expressed
IN 1905. since which time have made
no change in the principles for which /
stood and have done no act which would
prevent single one of my old friends
from again standing by me in the pri-
mary of 1909.
Il have made no political deals, COM
binations. pledges-or promises of anv
kind, and will not make any, but if
elected will be free to act for the best
interest of the people of the State.
Il shall be greatly obliged if you
will write me at your first convenience
the sentiment in your community. Any
suggestion which may occur to YOU will
be very greatly appreciated.
Yours truly, a

Bryan supporter by any means, states
on the authority of prominent Re-
publican" that Of 200 German news
papers of this country. only one is sup
porting Taft. All the others are Bryan
advocates. This is an admission reluct-
antly made. but is cheering news. 1t
shows the drift Of things.
After hundreds of thousands of PAM
phlets containing the article published
some time ago, in which the late Mr..
Cleveland was exhibited as favorinp
the election of Mr.. Taft, were sent
broadcast as a Republican campaign
document. it is now proven, what many
believed at the time, that the whole
thing was forgery gotten up to help
defeat Bryan.
This is from the New York Sun, a
Republican newspaper: 'Let self
respecting Americans of all political
faiths unite in the fervent prayer that
the unexampled frenzy or spasm of
self-exhibition which is now degrading
the office of President of the United
States may end before the scandal in
vites the attention and excites the dis
gust OF the whole civilized world"
States rights is well-worn theme,
but Mr.. Bryan in dealing with it recent
ly in one of his superb speeches clothed
the subject in new dress and defend
ed the rights of the States in a manner
striking and strong, and yet in doing
SO ne struck no blow at the constitu-
tional powers of the general govern
ment. Mr.. Bryan stands firmly on the
old rock: zone as the sea, distinct as
the pillows. "-Appomattox and Buck

The President instructed Mr.. Loeb to
state that he declines to answer the
last letter of Mr.. Bryan, which was an
answer to his latest letter on the Has
keii matter, on the ground that Mr.
Bryan's last is simply personal attack
on him, Roosevelt. But What in the
name OF all that's wonderful was the
letter of Mr.. Roosevelt but a personal.

Mr.. Bryan? Verify we have a queer

DEMOCRATS are greatly en-
couraged at the progress of the
pending campaign. Mr.. Bryan
has certainly got not only his
nominal opponent, Taft, son the
rum, but has drawn the fire OF
Teddy Warwick, his sponsor and
the real thing. But that war
fare is foreign from the main
issues OF the canvass. Aswepre-
dicted, and hoped to see, the
Democratic candidate has made
States rights second only to
the tariff, and ON both of these
the Republicans are put on the
defensive.
