BRYAN MAKES
QUICK ANSWER
CONTINUED from Page One,

truth may be ascertained. without
consulting Mr.. Haskell will agree that
we will appear for investigation before
any tribunal, public or private, which
you may indicate, and I will further
agree that his connection with the
national committee and with this cam
paign shall cease in the event the de-
cision of sucn tribunal connects him
in any way with the charge, or in case
you, after an investigation of the facts,
say that you believe him guilty of the
charges made.
AS the candidate of the Democratic
party i shall not permit any RESPONSE
BILE member of the Republican organi-
zation to misrepresent the attitude of
the Democratic party during the cam
paign.
Il have assisted you to the extent of
my ability in remedial measures which
/ deemed for the public good which
you have undertaken; | have urged
Democrats to support such measures
and have advocated more radical
measures against private monopolies
than either you or your associates have
been willing to undertake.
Platform Specific
"The platform of the Democratic
party is clear and specific on this sub
ject as on other subjects. while the
platform of the Republican party is
uncertain and evasive.
The Democratic candidate for vice
president, Mr.. Kern, Joined with me in
requesting the Democratic national
committee to fix maximum of $4,000
for Individual contributions and to pub
lish before the election all contribu-
tions above $100, and the committee
acted favorably on this request.
1.-The Republican candidate and the
Republican national committee pro-
posed no publication before the elec-
ton, but publication after the election.
I submit that our committee has given
the better evidence of it's freedom from
connection with, or obligation to, the
predatory interests.
"Our committee has not knowingly
received a dollar from any corporation
known as a trust, and 1t will not re-
ceive any money from such. If any
money is contributed by such persons
without the knowledge of the commit
tee, it will be returned as soon as the
fact is discovered.
'The Democratic party is making an
honest and an honorable fight in de-
fense of the principles and policies
enunciated in it's platform, and 1t ex-
poets and will demand fair and honor
able treatment from those who are in
charge of the Republican campaign.
With great respect, etc., very truly
yours, WILLIAM J. BRYAN.

les Athletic club closed it's buffet at 8
O'Clock yesterday afternoon and no
liquor was served or sold in the club
after that hour. Despite the clamor-
ings of many of the members that
liquor be sold them, Assistant Secre-
tary Henderson was firm eand would
not allow any sales. He claimed 1t
was for the best interest of the club
and was highly commended by many
of the cooler headed members for his
action. In all probability there will be
a meeting of the directors of the club
today and the question of keeping the
buffet closed will be taken into con-
sideration.
Clubs May Ask Damages
That the clubs desired to avert raids
by the prosecutor became evident yes
terday when Chief of Police Kern re-
ceived a letter from Gibson. Trask,
Dunn & Crutcher, attorneys for the
California and Jonathan clubs, in
which letter the attorneys state their
Willingness to furnish any evidence de-
sired regarding the sale. of liquors.
The letter follows:
We notice in the newspapers that Thomas
L. Woolwine as of the prosecuting at
torneys of the police court, has called upon
you to cooperate with him in taking ac-
ton looking to the immediate arrest and
conviction of the officers agents and SER
wants of the social clubs Representing the
California club and the Jonathan club we
have at all times been willing, Mr.. Wool
wine is well aware. to stipulate fully as to
any and all acts of the officers, servants and
employees of said clubs, as TO the manner Of
the operation OF said clubs, and especially
with reference to the dispensing of liquors
at said clubs While stipulattions of this
character may not be spectacular as
raids seizures and the like. they far
more effective for the purpose of, bringing
before the court the exact facts in connec-
| tion with the case. and therefore ample
| for any purpose for which Mr. Woolwne
may require the services of the police de-
partment. in connection with the prosecu-
tion Of the clubs. We are therefore. in be-
half of said clubs offering again to you and
to Mr.. Woolwine to stipulate in any and
all cases which he may see At to bring, all
of the facts in connection with the dispens-
| ing and serving of liquors by these clubs.
In the event therefore of Mr. Woolwine

Ewing, which confidently expect, we Will
undertake, in behalf of said clubs, to recover
from the parties responsible therefor any

reason of such raids and seizures. The Of
acers, servants and employees of these clubs
are at all times willing to furnish you with

clubs.
| 1t has already been held by Judge Rose
of the police court. under a full statement

FEAR
TAFT'S ERRORS
Hitchcock Waits In Chicago to Hear
from Presidential Candidate
Before Venturine to
New York
[By Associated Press. |

CHICAGO, Sept. 22-Chairman Hitch
cock of the Republican national COM
mittee, who has just been severely dis
ciplined by the Republican leaders, this
afternoon changed his plan of leaving
Chicago. He decided to wait over here
in order to confer with Judge Taft, who
will address an organization of rail-
road men here tomorrow night.
With the Foraker incident apparently
closed and arrangements completed for
Judge Tafts speaking tour, which be-
gins tomorrow, Chairman Hitchcock
had planned to spend the remainder of
the week at the eastern headquarters.
Judge Charles A. Nagel, member OF
the western executive committee, said
today concerning Judge Taft's speaking
trip:
ut cannot be denied that in every
campaign the chance of a blunder Is
not to be overlooked.
"A hasty speech may become a seri-
Gus, if not controlling factor.
Not Used to It
1T is, of course, to be remembered
that Mr.. Taft is not really trained to
public speaking and therefore some ap-
prehension has been expressed by most
of the leaders that the campaign may
suffer through some inadvertent re-
mark.
I'm my judgment Mr.. Taft is incap-
able of a really serious mistake. He
may be guilty of an error in tactics.
That is the common fate Of men like
Taft, who always refuse to be misur-
derstood by anyone on any subject. But
the American people don't measure men
by such errors. The direct man, for
himself, and his fellowmhn, always
succeeds in having the true purpose of
his convictions recognized"

Paul Morton Back With Atchison

NEW YORK. May Paul Morton,
president of the Equitable Life Assurance
Society. was elected yesterday a director
of the Atchison. Topeka and Santa Fee
railway. and member of it's executive
committee. He succeeds the late George
G. Haven. Mr.. Morton was vice presi-
dent of the Atchison when President
Roosevelt made him Secretary of the
Navy. 1t has always been understood
that he was invited into the President
cabinet because of valuable information
he gave. in regard to rebating among the
railroads. Atchison itself was being sued
at that time by the government for re-
batting. and Mr.. Morton is understood to
have opposed the system of paying re-
bates and to have been leader in wipinR
out the practice. So far as could be
learned publicly there is no connection
between his entry into the MANAGEMENT
Of the Atchison and the exit of Victor
Morawetz. who will retire in June Cos
sip In Wall street says that there has been
professional enmity between Morton and
Morawetz. Mr. Morton is expected to re-
tain his position as president of the
