 The feature of the week end has been the protest against the arrest of Tom Mann, the labor leader, who is charged with having melted the Kings forces to commit tritorous and mutinous prac- tices,' by articles published in a Sal ford paper called the Syndicalist.

MOORE CARLSON
 BRYAN FOR PROOF Of InsinuatiOns that Har- mon Is Candidate of Wall
 Street Interests

Columbus, Ohio, March 24.-Prior to his departure for Nebraska tonight. E. H. Moore, chairman of the Ohio Harmon campaign committee, gave out an open letter to William J. Bryan in which he calls upon the latter for proof of 'insinuations that Governor Harmon is and also asks Mir Bryan to explain the fact that Gov. Woodrow Wilson, whom you are supporting, is wallowing in campaign fund, the size of which, &C., cording to Col. Henry Watterson, has not been seen since the days of Senator Hanna"
 MT. Moore expects to spend several days this week in Nebraska in the in- terests of Governor Harmon
 Another political development today was the announcement that leaders of the so-called progressive democratic faction led by former Congressman John J. Lentz will hold a conference here tomorrow at which 1t is proposed to take steps to center upon the candidacy of some one other than Governor Harmon.
 IL is generally believed that Governor Wilson is supported by the leaders in the nti-Harrnon movement.
 Columbus, Ohio, March 24.-Mr Moores letter salu In part:
 This mornings press quotes you as charging that Governor Harmon is the candidate of the Hill and Morgan in- terests.
 May I inquire how you reconcile this charge with the thoroughly known and generally admitted fact that the amount Of money expended in furtherance of Mir Wilson's candidacy far exceeds in the aggregate the expenditures of all other candidates. that for the past year your candidate has carried and is still conducting a publicity campaign that has cost a fortune
 That somewhere there has been found a fund sufficient to procure journalists to polute newspa pers and ma agazines with falsehoods concerning Governor Harmon and his public career and to flood this and other states with literature in praise of your candidate, and in defamation of others
 Do you not think that your own rep utation for fairness demands that you should give some concrete illustration to justify your oft-repeated charge that Harmon is reacttonary and tool or Wall street ?"
 The letter declares that Harmon as governor little deserves to be termed a tool of the interests when he brought abont legislation that has shifted the burden from the shoulders of the farmer and small home owner to those of the interests and other rich tax dodgers. ?
