Looks Like Bryan.

1t would be hardly fair to let the republicans do
all the shouting, though they may be in need of
plenty of noise in which to drown their apprehen-
sions. Democratic Committeeman Daniels, of North
Carolina, who has been busy at the Chicago and
New York headquarters since the Denver convention
and is enjoying vacation at Raleigh, told his
neighbors about the outlook:
"Tt looks like Bryan will win. Aside from the
SOUTH there not half dozen states in which
there is not a hard and close fight The republicans
six months ago thought they would win an easy
victory and many democrats feared they were so
strongly ntrenched that they could not be dislodged
But no such feeling exists today The democrats
are even more united than they were in November
1892 when they won remarkable victory And
there has not been time when the republicans
rent by internal d1SSenS1OnS since the Blaine
Conklng feud, which made the election of Cleveland
in 1884 possible.
I'm every important state where there is fight,
republicans are being weakened In New York the
opposition inside the ranks to Hughes is deep-seated
and bitter. The workers opposed to him and
wish his defeat They would have prevented his
nomination if the president had not used the big
stick and coerced the majority of them by declaring
that Taft could not carry the country unless Hughes
got renominated
"The organization forces hate Hughes because he
has shown them no recognition But the opposition
is deeper than that, and is found in the fact that
he does not attract anybody. He is cold, austere
man. Nobody loves him. nobody thinks of him as a
man of heart and devotion. The republicans who are
forcing his nomination will tell you frankly that he
will lose many thousand votes, but they say he will
gain enough from independents and democrats to
win
"In Connecticut the republicans have nominated
Representative Li1ey, who was involved in the sub
marine scandal and rebuked by a congressional COM
mittee, and there is revolt
"In Rhode Island there is growing hostility to
the Aldrich methods. In Delaware the republicans
have named state ticket that cannot command the
full strength of the party. In New Jersey the men
like Colby and other reformers have been kicked
out and, the trust crowd is in the saddle with the
result that united democracy, REINFORCED by the
almost solid labor VOTE expects to redeem that state
"The only doubtful state in the east where there
is any division in the democratic ranks is MARYLAND
There the division is much less than is supposed
side of the state.
But the trouble in the republican camp in the

The President Insinuates.

L
Returning from an interview with President
Roosevelt at Oyster Bay Chairman Woodruff of
the New York republican committee, promptly gave
to the Associated Press the following statement and
it was served to all the customers of the news
ISOLATION:
"Incidentally the president remarked that it looked
significant that 100000 had been found in the treas
ury of the democratic party after Judge Parker had
declared throughout the last campaign that the
partyS treasury receiving nothing from cor
porations and further because it announced at
the time of the election that the treasury empty
The president said he thought it looked queer that
such a large sum of money should turn up after
Mr.. Haskell appointed treasurer OF the demo-
cratic national committee.
1t tacitly understood at the opening of the
quadrennia trouble that the country was to be
favored with a clean campaign.
Recently Mr.. Hearst appeared upon the scene, as
ally of the republican party, and is conducting
a mud throwing campaign that exhibits him as
person of small mental calibre.
Mr.. Roosevelt, president of the United States, now
comes along with low insinuation that would have
been received with better grace had he courageousy
explained what was on his mind during his CONVEX
sation with Mr.. Woodruff
The public will understand that Mr. Woodruff was
authorized to "give away" the presidents suspicious
knowing that great is exercised in making
quotations from the head OF the nation.
Mr. Roosevelt and Mr.. Woodruff must be advised
that all the contributions to the democratic campaign
fund are to be published in the newspapers before
the arrival of election day and that in due time the
distressfu1 100000 will be accounted for.
They could have decently waited instead of indie
Gently intmating that the democratic committee had
come into possession of the money corruptly or
fraudu1enty.
Chairman Mack of the democratic national
mittee has replied to President Roosevelts insin-
uation that the democratic committee had received
money from a questionable source Chairman
Mack said to Mr.. Roosevelt:

former Chairman Taggart which was left over from
the 1904 campaign. This at the time denied.
desire to say to you there is not word of
truth in this statement [ have not received one
cent from Chairman Taggart or any one else con-
nected with the last campaign, neither has any one
connected with the democratic national committee
II want to say that the democratic national COM
mittee has not received 100000 or before
after took the office of the chairman has Gov
ernor Haskell any member of the national COM
mittee any such Neither the Standard Oil COM
pany nor its subsidiary companies contributed one

correspondent of the Boston Transcript President

After witnessing the enthusiasm with which Mr.
Bryan was received in the state of Maryland, At

French Stays at Home.

Representative French, it is stated in a Moscow
dispatch, has declined an invitation to talk re-
publicanism in Ohio, that he may devote himself to
campaign in Idaho and he will be against the re-
election of Senator Hepburn nominated as his own
successor by the republican state convention, the
same convention that defeated Mr.. French The
primary election system, opposed by Mr. Hepburn, is
considered by Mr.. French to be of more Importance
to Idaho than the return of Mr. Hepburn to the
senate Mr.. French has not suggested himself for

days discussion the consideration Of
the sundry civil appropriation bill
was completed by the House today
but before putting il on its passage a
recess until tomorrow was taken. The
bill carries a total appropriation OF
$l06, ,o66,000 or $l,240,0O0 more than
was reported by the committee, The
principal resolution of the day related
to the salary and wage scale to be
paid in the construction OF the Pana-
ma Canal, a provision limiting the
salaries and wages to not more than
25 per cent more than those paid for
the same service in the United States

In the course OF the debate on
another section of the bill, Sulzer sug-
gested that the supreme court of the
United States was unable to have any
printing done because OF its decisions
affecting labor, but Wilson, of Penn
sylvania, declared that the typo
graphical union was willing to do all
the printing necessary.

FINANCIAL DEPRESSION.

TOXIC, May 1.-The amelioration
of the financial depression monopol-
ICES the attention of capitalists
throughout the country. The con-
ditions are ascribed to the addition
of government measures without con-
sulting the capitalists.
Government bonds are below 80,
the standard valuation hitherto has
been 90. Financiers are conferring
with the financial department with
the object of restoring confidence.
A banker connected with the move
ment said to the A. P:
"Japan's finance does not contain
an element injurious to the national
credit. The prevalent feeling is due
to ignorance of the actual state Of the
national treasury, but our delegates
have matured plans, the adoption of
which will certainly remove suspic-
ion, and an economic improvement
will soon follow. Financiers will
shortly pass a resolution which the
government, | am we'll advised, will
accept. The result of the present
conference will be published in June"

| WASHINGTON, May 7. So That
there should be no secret record in
the committee OF the house investi-
eating the wood pulp and print paper
question was made evident today when
Chairman Mann refused to receive
from a witnesses in confidence the
names of certain newspaper publish
ers. The incident arose during the
testimony OF c. l.. Knight, publish
er OF the Akron, Ohio, Beacon-Jour.
nal Knight had stated to his knowl
edge the increase in the price OF pa
per had wiped out the profits OF a
number OF papers in Ohio and in fact
had forced one paper to the necessity
of borrowing money TO meet their pay
rolls. When called on by Mann to
give the names of those papers he de-
clined saying the information came
to him in confidence and that the
publishers had Been hard enough
hit" already without proclaiming to
the world that they were bankrupt.
He did say however he would give
the names to the committee in conf
dence and that the committee could
summon them and that they could tell
their experiences il they so desired.
Mann refused to receive the names
under this condition, stating that il
he could prevent il the committee
would receive no information that
would not go into the record. A large
number OF publishers in different parts
OF the country were examined today
and all today the same story OF the
steady advance in the price OF paper
Among the publishers heard was
Frank B, Noyes, president OF the AS

proprietor of the Chicago Record

WAUPACA, Wis, May 1.-The
letter which Carl Peterson Of Wan
paca from Mrs. Belle Guinness has
been translated from the Norwegian
into English. The letter states that
Mrs. Guinness owns a farm near La
Porte and describes it. Said she valued
it at $4,000. The letter states that
Mrs. Guinness is a widow with three
small children and that she lost her
husband five years before by accident.
She says looking after the farm is
too much OF a task and so decided to
take a partner. She adds that in as
much as 1--WE have no acquaintance
ourselves" that she wants him to put
up $1,000 as an assurance Of good
faith. She concludes that if he can
not there is no use talking the matter
over personally as she doesn't want
him for hired man as she was tired
OF that and needs little rest.

tions that might involve him is the
theory of the prosecution.
In his cell Lamphere was asked
concerning secret room in the
Guinness country mansion to which
no one was ever admitted except
Mrs. Guinness herself She had the
key and kept the door locked con-
stantly. In the night hours no one in
the household was ever near that
room That, the authorities believe,
was the chamber of horrors whose
walls have been spattered with the
blood OF the ill-fated victims of the
woman's greed for gold and passion
for blood.
Il never was in that room," Lam
phere said, Il knew that there was a
room in the house that was always
kept locked and there was also
room in the basement, a sort of ice
box, that no one ever knew much
about. 1t was big place capable Of
accommodating several persons"
This place near a door which led
out to a barnyard, is believed to
have been the temporary morgue for
the victims. So many bodies have
now been found that the authorities
believe the woman saved her victims
and disarticulated the bodies in
groups and buried them that way,
sewed up in gunny sacks, adding
chloride Of lime to the earth to aid in
disintegration.
The identification OF another Of the
bodies dug up on the Guinness farm
as that OF Ole B. Budsberg Of lola,
Wis, and as evidence to show that he
like Andrew Helgelin, had been
brought into Mrs. Bella Guinness net
through the "materimonal advertise
ments" was one Of the clarifying fea-
lures OF today's developments Of the
case. A soaking rain prevented fur
ther excavation today and the sheriff
devoted the day to unearthing posi-
bic evidence that may be used in the
trial of Ray Lamphere on the charge
Of having caused the death Of Mrs.
Guinness and her three children. AS
result Of his Investigations prosecut-
ing Attorney Smith announced said
that he would seek the immediate in
dictment Of Lamphere.
During the sherif's absence this af-
ternoon two men thought to be from
Michigan City, caused considerable
apprehension by breaking into the
carriage house on the Guinness farm
where nine cadavers had been kept
since exhumation. The men raised
the window and one of them had al
ready made his way into the morgue
when he was discovered by the watch
man. 1t is thought the men were
merely led by curiosity to view the
grewsome skeletons stored in the
carriage house. One subject that was
much discussed tonight is the cores
pondence between Mrs. Guinness and
Helgelin. The latters brother
brought several letters from Mans
field, s. D. They reveal the guiles by
