"When It is considered 'that In next, the electors of the several State, will determine who are to be the Constitution. 1 governors of more than elghtly millions of Americans, and the governmental policies that shall guide them, the overwhelming magnitude of 'the event' is seen. "The Democratic perty has undertaken the task of restoring our National Government to its true Constitutional functions and limitations. It is warning the country that the Republican' party, during its forty or mnr. years of almost uninterrupted control, has been faithless to Its trust; that instead of administering the affair of the government In the interest of an the people, it haa devised and carried out policies for the advantage of special and favored classes; that taking advantage of the wonderlul prosperity and growth of the country, due to Its unexampled resources, and to the in telltgence.

We are pointing out the lorraous and uneccessary Increase In the number of office holders, forming a.

He cited Abraham Lincoln. General Giant, benjamin Harrison and Mr.

iicKinley a a having had no particular public experience previous to their nominations. As for Governor Hughes, who, he said, had laid special emphasis on Mr, Taft's experience and qualifications, he declared he had had but two years experience as Governor of the State of New York "and yet he thought three months ago that he was as well qualfled for the Presidency as Mr: Taking up the charge that he may not make wise appointments if elected to the Presidency, Mr. Bryan Insisted that the argument should 'not be mads by a Republican because, he said, for the next two years at least, the ten-ate will be Republican and' pass upon all Important questions, thus sharing In the responsibility If any objectionable men are named, "I am he said, "that I can find such excellent men that even a Republican Senate will not dare to reject them." After discussing a number of Issues, he said: "The Republican argument that we hear so much of now. Is that Democratic success will disturb business. Our contention is that Democratic success, will restore prosperity.

How can the Republicans threaten us with a panic when a panic came under the present President and Is still upon as? "In some respects It Is the most aeute panic that we have ever had and there was less In natural, condition to justify it. That this panic still continues can be proved la many ways. First, by a number of men out of emploj menu. uxma iv wr uw, not able to, flnif work to do. An tt fort has been made among tnose securing, special privileges of the government to answer this political argument-by starting up some ot their mills In the closing days but the people can hardly be fooled by such transparent tricks.

Facts aaeV Figures. The, Saturday Lvenlng Post of re cent date contains come statements which show, according to the reports- of the New York savings banks, the number of accounts opened for the year ended on July 1, was 78,000 fewer than for the year before, while the number of accounts closed was 48,000 greater than the year before. The amount, denoslted was $35,000,000 less and the amount withdrawn $41,000,000 more. This shows a large snnnxags In the savings of the people of that mate. And now comes a New York wholesaler with the statement that on July 22, the firm addressed a letter to the wholesale grocers, biscuit bakers and confectioners of the, United States, asking for the figures showing trade conditions at that time as compared with six months before, Tne following are the statements for the Eastern States.

Southern States and the Middle-West: "StaDle groceries. 10 per cent less In the Eastern States: 11 per cent less in tho Southern States, and 9 per cent less in the Middle-West. -Sales of arocerles classed among luxuries, 16 per cent less In the Eastern Satteh. 18 per cent loss in the Southern States, and 15 per cent In the Western States. The falling off in Bis cuit and bakers articles and in confectioners' trade shows substantially the same per cent.

"To show the trusts can escape iiura the evils that afflict others. I call at tention to the fact that a recent issue of The Wall Street Journal shows that the International Harvester Company made larger net profits last year than In any preceding year, and the director of the International Harvester Company are largely the same as the directors of the Steel Trust. "If the Republicans charge tnai Democratic success will bring a panic, they ought to give bond that Republican success will bring prosperity. And who can furnish security? Every panic we have had came under a high tariff: the panic of 1833 came a year before the McKinley was repealed, and the panic of 197 came under a tariff so high mat tne iiepuuucn platform pledges tue party- unequivocally to 'Revise' It Immediately, and Mr. Taft says that the revision will probably' be downward."

Record of the Republican Treasurer, TAFT NEEDS THE HONEY Roosevelt and Root Uneasy Over Conditions. Hitchcock; Said to Be Doing As Well As Any One Uader Severe HandicapSpeakers Withdrawn. BY ALFRED J. 8TOFER. Washington, Oct 2.

(Special.) -Sen- gatlona in this campaign seem" to be the order of the day. Kooseveit having been rather free with his pen, and in spectaculur, fashion having forced Du Pont from his position as head of the speakers bureau In the national Republican committee because' of his allUiation with powder trust It la now shown that 'Georgo R. Sheldon, treasurer of the Republican National Committee, la identified with numerous trusts -to say nothing of the further charge that he is connected with concerns noted for "watered" stock. Democratic Chairman Mack's statement today concerning Sheldon created a commotion when It was read here this afternoon, and' the confusion became all the greater In Republican circles over the point made by Mr. Mack that a tough machine politician like Governor Odoll, of New York, refused to run several years ago for Governor of New York If Sheldon was placed on the ticket with him, a thing that was attempted but resulted In failure because the leaders knew.lt would defeat the Republicans.

More Groans From Star. The Washington ctar prints this afternoon from Its chief political staff correspondent in New York the following, which Is soul-racking news certainly for Republican readers of such a rampant Taft "One interesting feature of Mr. Macks statement is the reference to the refusal ot Governor Odell to have Mr. Sheldon as a running mate In 1902 on- account of his trust affiliations. "Mr.

Mack is corrsct in his account of that incident. The writer attended the Republican State convention of 1802 and well recalls the incident. Mr. Sheldon, fine gentleman and business man that he Is, was proposed by the machine for Lieutenant Governor. The noint was raised that his connection with trusts would hurt the ticket "I remember Governor Od'ell's aged father, with his long white beard and white hair, mingling among the delegates the night before the convention and declaring that 'Ben' should not run It Mr.

Sheldon was nominated for second place. Ai a midnight conference the Gov ernor had his way and Mr. enuiaon was displaced. So when Mr. Sheldon was chosen national treasurer all his business affiliations were well known.

There Is no charge affecting his record, his probity or his personal standing. Mr. jdacK statement criticises oniy the fact that Mr. Sheldon Is successful. Mr.

Sheldon's standing In the financial community Is of the highest If the national administration" removes hliu from the treasurershlp on the score that he la a successful financier the Republican campaign hat-passers might as well keep out of the financial dis trict. It was said today, wnon Mr. Mack's statement got abroad." Advised by Dletrlca. Ex-fcenator Dltrlch, of Nebraska, was among resident rvuouvn winia today. When he came out ne lniomiea newspaper men that he told the President that "If personalities were not stopped all around the people would become disgusted and do almost anything in November."

Secretary Root was credited with having returned to Washington and there expressed the conclusion tha. National Treasurer Sheldon ir tn blame for the lagging In the campaign, he having left to Chairman Hitchcock, much of the business that should have been disposed of by treasurer's department. Trrssurer was not at his office this afternoon but Assi'ant Genrae Terry said that the treasurers department had no reply to make.

No confirmation of the reported purpose of Secretary Root's visit to Nation! headquarters could be obtained It was said that Secretary Root wss In this city on Wednesday and that he called on Chairman Hitchcock at the ite!
