the Republican National Committee

going to New York from Jersey City.
Mr.. Bryan was asked:
Does the charge that the Republican
party Is supporting the Steel trust e.

piled Mr.. Bryan, that the Steel trust
has not been prosecuted also stated
that the Steel trust is supporting the
Republican ticket and that the Repub-
liCan National Committee dare not make

Chief Sensation.

M bIyaA charges as 10 the Steel
trust have proven the chief sensation
thus FAR Of his visit to the East. He
has not gone into details Of his charges.
His friends say he is prepared to prove
his allegations.
Mr.. Bryan has a distinct object In
view In his Steel trust charge and In
the emphasis he is laying on the public
ity of campaign contributions. He hopes
20 put the Republicans in a hole after
October Is, when the Democrats will
make their contributions public and to
make II the more difficult for them to
refrain from statement of their con-
tributiOns, before election day

While in Delaware yesterday Mr..
Bryan heard from the Democratic lead

to prevent him having that State. This

Bryan addressed an enormous crowd al

Scores Sheldon
One Of the first questions fired at him
1 after his arrival here were in reference
to George R. Sheldon's reply to his
| statement that the Steel trust is sup
| porting the Republican campaign by its
| contributions. Sheldon said that officials
Of the trust had as much right to sup

] THE COmmOner," said Mr. Rrvan
| smiling, is not company nor a cor.
pOratiOn- 1 think Sheldon is correct in
/ saying that an official OF the Steel trust
/ has a perfect right to support the Re-
/ publican ticket. But If the trust officers
/ support the Republican party ii is fair
to assume they 90 so because they re-
| gard II as more friendly to the trusts

The various local committees along
the line Of preliminary survey who are
obtaining free passage for the railroad
as an inducement for the company to
make the survey permanent have gener.
ally met with good success and the Offer
made by the committees is considered
sufficient as bonus to the company to
adopt the present line.
Mr.. Hull was in the city comforting
with the Commercial club regarding q
free passage through the county. He
said that the right-of-way work from the
south end was completed to Jamestown
The committee in Pembina has made q
very good offer, and Nelson and Griggs
are working very successfully. He also
said that plans we're being made to
begin work of construction just as soon
as his work was completed, which he
thought would be very soon now.
The Park River Commercial club sub.
mitted an offer to him which he will
turn over to the company for considera'
ton. He thinks that the offer will be
accepted without question.
