Udy and that already it Is sufficient
to convince him that many 8urjrines
evidently are In store for election day.
From the leaders of the party in
Missouri reports are far more optimis
tic than they have been hitherto, he"
said, and In consequence hp was almost
templed to expect that state to show
up In the Republican column.
He did not exper to carry Ken
tucky, but believes there was a prom
ise of a few electoral voters there for
the Republicans, and Mr. Hitchcock
added that Tennessee apparently is
preparing some surprises.
Ohio was described as absolutely
pafe. nor was Indiana giving- the Re
publican chairman any concern, but he
was not so hopeful, he said, of Montana
and Nevada. However, these latter
two were the only states west of the
Mississippi that were In doubt, ac
cording to his way of thinking.
New York was declared to be like
Ohio, namely, absolutely safe. Both
Mr. Taft for the Presidency and Gov
ernor Hughes for re-election were said

this state.
for his success. The 'candidate pinned the
blossom on his coat, remark jig that it
was a symbol of the gold standard which
the Republican party had mate a founda
tion for the best money In thfe world the
American dollar.
With this as a text the speajser delivered
an earnest address on the cu.-rency ques
tion, urpinjr his hearers to vote for an
administration that guaranteed sound
money.
The second speech 'was In the Bronx.
There Mr. Sherman talked on the tariff.
At Camp Hughes the cantilriate devoted

YOXKERS. N. T.. Oct. 7. W. H.
Taft reached here in a driving rain,
hut was met at the station by a big
Twd. He was driven at once to the
largest ball in the city, which was well
rilled. Mr. Taft was in henter voice to
begin his day's work thivn usual. To
his Yonkers audience, the candidate
made a general speech touching on
ninny of the Usues In h3s usual vein.
As the crowd outside appeared to con

Induced to make another.peech. He told
t he overflow meeting tlwit a great lvsue

Th Republican party, lie declared, was
th best equipped to meet that issue.
That Judge Tift w am nettled at the

"This Is an opportunity which I s.ek.

RIDERS FOR $100,000
f Victim of Assault Holds Whole Or
ganization to Plume.
LOUISVILLE. Ky.. Oct. 27. A suit fir
JlOO.Ow) damages, which was filed today
in the United States Circuit Court here,
promises to become an important factor
lr. tlie night rider situation In Kentucky
and Tennwee. The plaintiff, Henry
Bennett. was set upon on February 4
last and terribly beaten with clubs and
.thorned switches and, as he alleged,
maimed and badly injured by a band of
night riders. At the, same time his
stemmery and tobacco factory and other
largo and valuable buildings were de
stroyed by night riders. Mr. Bennett ha
been receiving letters ever since this
time, threatening that he would be killed
by night riders.
In the suit nl"d today he Is proceeding,
not only against the actual persons who
wre present at the time of the detruc
tion of his property and Injury to him
self, but ana in. st a large number of other
persons, many of whom are counted
among the most prominent and pros
perous citizens of the western part of
the state, alleging that they were mem
bers of a conspiracy known as the night
rider organization or "Silence Brigade,"
and that they participated In the meet
ings which were held throughout many
counties.
Tlie purpose of Iwlnging this suit is to
establish that all persons who are mem
bers of ihe night rider organization are
bound by the act of the ni;ht riders,
all being responsible for the conduct and
actions of the others. In the furtherance
of the general object of the conspiracy,
which was to force all independent
raisers and handlers of dark tobacco to
pla'-e their tobacco in the pool controlled
by the Dark Tobacco Association.
Huge Sum, Declares Democratic Can
didate, Is Being Used to De
bauch the Ballot Contrib
uted by the Trusts.
TIPTON. Ind., Oct. 27. 'I am reli
ably informed and make this specific
charge that $100, 000 of money, largely
contributed by trusts and combines,
was brought into Indiana last Sunday
and passed through the hands -of Hon.
Frd Sims. Secretary of the State Board
of Commissioners.'
John W. Kern, the Democratic Vice
Presidential nominee, made the above
charge before a good -sized audience
here today.
"I think that every thoughtful and
patriotic citizen will see the necessity
for the publication of campaign con
tributions befpre election," said Mr.
Kern.
Trusts Contribute,
"The people would be much better
ndvlsed as to how they should vote If
they kn-r the extent to which the
great yun lawful monopolies and com
bines were . contributing money for
campaign purposes, and If they also
knew which party was the recipient of
these contributions.
"Every sensible man knows that
when a contribution Is made to a cam
paign fund-by one of these lawless and
plundering combinations, it expects to
have value received, in the form of spe
cinl favors."
Mr. Kern reviewed the action of the
respective campaigns of the parties
with reference to publicity of cam
paign contributions, and continued:
"I do not wonder that the Republican
party this year Is declining to give the
names of the. men and corporations that
are supplying its sinews of war. If the
people of Indiana knew the names of
these donors, Bryan would carry the
state by 100,000. Such publication
would disclose tlie fact that every un
lawful combination in America has
poured out money unlawfully absorbed
from the people's earnings Into the Re
publican treasury for the purpose of
debauching the ballot."
Sad
Spectacle.
Reverting to the alleged $100,000
contribution recently brought into this
state, Mr. Kern continued:
"Mr. Sims Is a most estimable gentle
man -and a warm personal friend of
mine, but I am compelled to say that
It Is a sad spectacle .to see a public
official who is required to pass every
year upon the question as to what
amount of taxes shall be levied upon
the railroads and other corporations of
his state, handling the money that
these corporations are called upon to
contribute, to the campaign fund. The
assessing or taxing officer who, like
Mr. Uphnm, of Chicago, or Mr. Sims, of
Indiana, has the power to raise or
lower the taxes of corporations, . has
rare facilities for frying fat out 'of the
corporations whose properties they are
required to value.
"I hope the time may come when no
public officer . will be allowed to
neglect his official duties and engage
In such questionable business. The time
Is not far distant when an aroused pub
lic sentiment will so purify the politi
cal atmosphere as to make the further
perpetuation of such wrongs impossible."

CAMP NEMO." Reel foot I,ake, Tenn.,
Oct. 27. The return to camp today of
Governor Patterson, accompanied by As

prisoners and the return of Captain

important ones will be sent to Union City

MONEY, COERCION AND PANIC
Three Wnvs Republicans Hope to
Win, Declares Kern.
FORT WAYNE Ind., Oct. 27. The sec
ond day of the campaign of John W.
Kern by special trolley-car through the
state of Indiana, which is expected to
consume most of the present week, endMl
with a big meeting In Decatur tonight.
In every city through which he passed
Mr. Kern was besieged by scores of old
time friends, who grasped his hand and
greeted him by his given name. He was
introduced to his audiences by terms in
dicative of long acquaintance and friend
sin p.
In his Decatur speech, Mr. Kern said
that there were three methods by which
the Republican party leaders hoped to
win. Tlie first, he said, was by the use
of money, "which is being poured into
their treasury out of the treasuries of
every illegal monopoly in the land and
out of the treasury of every protected
corporation." The second method, he
said, was coercion and the third the
threat of panic
