(. ANASSAS, VA. June 4.--AIr. C.
IN N G. Carlin spoke here Tonight
A in the interest OF his re-
nomination for Congress and
q used plain language in de-
nouncing some of those who. are
fighting him. He had expected
to speak at Warrenton, but
during the day he was advs-
ed that the public hall in that town
had been engaged for tonight and his
friends then announced that he would
address the voters of Manassas.
The meeting was presided over by
Mr.. r. II. Hutchison. who introduced
Mr.. Carlin as the next Congressman
from the Eighth District. Mr.. Carlin
spoke for two hours. and occupied much
of that time in criticism of some of Mr..
Gordon's utterances from the stump
and denying the charges that improper
methods had been used to procure his
nomination in the last primary. The
speaker denounced Mr.. Mason, Of
Loudoun county. as a liar. and charged
that Crandall. Mackey, of Alexandra
county. could not speak the truth. Ma
son has charged in an affidavit that
Mr.. Carlin offered him slnoney for his
support in the recent campaign. Mr..
Mackey has been very active against
Mr.. Carlin In the present fight.
Mr.. r. L. Gordon will speak here to-
morrow night.

Praises American wOrkingmcn.
CHICAGO, ILL, June 4.--The value
OF optimism was the chord that ran
throughout the address OF Governor
John a. Johnson, OF Minnesota, before
the graduating class and the students
OF Armour Institute of Technology here
Tonight. His subject was ",rhe Re-
sources of America" subject he
chose, he said, because of his convic-
ton that all Of his hearers were opti-
mists and because that subject was
the most optimistic theme thought
upon by man since Adam discovered
himself in the Garden OF Eden"
Governor johnson discussed at length
the vastness of the country's resources
and it's Industrial development during
the last sixty years. Continuing, he
said:
I'VE now come to the last and most
important factor In the Industrial su-
premacy of the nation, namely, labor.
I desire to place myself on record on
this occasion as denying as false the
assumption that Amsrican working
men are not turning out as great a
product In proportion to the wages they
receive as the workingmen of any
other country, and the proof of the
falsity Of this assumption Is in the
results themselves and in the reports
thereof by the manufacturers. main
tain that II there is any necessity
for the American factory and its pro-
prietary trust to hide behind a tariff
wall. that necessity no longer truth

Mr.. BRYAN MAKES DENIAL

II Ryan Gave the Nebraska Campaign
Fund 1t IL News to Him.
LINCOLN, NEB., June 4.--In state
ment given Tonight to the Associated
Press, William j. Bryan replied to an
article appearing week ago in a New
York newspaper, charging that Mr..
Bryan was the beneficiary of a campaign
contribution made by Thomas +. Ryan.
Mr.. Bryan says:
II have just read the story charging
that my brother-in- law. Mr. Allen.
chairman of the Democratic State Com
mittee. had conference with Mr.
Sheehan in 1904 In regard to campaign
funds; that Mr.. Sheehan, as Mr.. Ryan's
attorney, secured from Mr.. Ryan 500
600 for the Nebraska campaign: that
Mr. Ryan made the contribution to Sc
cure my open and unqualified support
OF Judge Parker; that to disguise the
source of the contribution, Mr.. Ryan
gave the check to Mr.. sheehan. ana
that Mr.. Sheehan gave his check to Mr..
Allen.
. Chairman Allen and Mr.. Dahlman.
Nebraska. member of the National
Democratic Committee, have already
denied the charges, and stated that
.ne only money received came from the
national committee but l desire to
add the. following statements:
Mr.. Allen says that he never
saw either Mr.. Sheehan or Mr.
Ryan. and have no rea son to doubt
his word. II Mr.. Ryan contributed
to the Nebraska campaign 1t was
not with my knowledge or consent.
While had but.a remote personal
interest in the Nebraska campaign
that year. am Interested in Ne
praska politics. and am also inter-
ested IN national politics, and am
not willing to be in the slightest
degree obligated to any favor-seelk-
ing corporation. If. therefore, the
newspaper in question will secure
from either Mr.. Sheehan or Mr..
Ryan a statement. or prove in any
other r. way that Mr.. Ryan gave to
MT. Sheehan. to any one else, or to
the national committee. any sum
whatever with the understanding
that the sum would be used In the
Nebraska campaign, shall see that
the amount is returned to Mr.. Ryan
"As to the charge that my sup
port to Judge Parker was pur-
chased, / need only say that
