CHICAGO, Nov. L . Confident f a
Tictory at the election Tuesday, W. J.
Bryan left Chicago today for a tour
through Kansas' tomorrow. Tomorrow
night he expects to reach Lincoln. Neb.,
where he will participate In a home dem
onstration. Mr. Bryan left ihe Candi
date's special train here and went direct
to Lincoln. Mora than a dozen ooxes of
flowers which hare been given btr during
the trip through Indiana. Saturday were
taken home by Mrs. Bryan. Before baV'
tug Chicago Mr. Bryan said:
"l do not care to make any list of

certain In some :han in et'.ic-s. 1 wo.ild

Speaking of his delay In re.icliing Chi

"The trip arranged for the day was a
long one with a large nur:iber of stops.
The meetings were unexjw -bslly lurge

Hughes on Firing Line.
The New York Ft ate campaign, which
has been in full swing for more than
a month. Is practically at an end. al
though Governor Hughes will make 10
speeches In Greater New York tomor

from end to end. however, frankly ad
mit that they are In doubt and that

From every quarter come reports
Republican defection from Governor
Hughes, but the Republicans do not
place very much stock In these, an
say that whatever votes Governor
Hughes loses In hie own party will be
more than offset by gains from amon

BOTH LOOK FOR VICTORY
(Continued From First Page.)
S33 votes for Bryan had been expected In
view of the same claims madK earlier
In the campaign. It was further said
that Mr. Mack had included In his list
states that were practically conceded by
state leaders to be Republican. It was
also said Mr. Hitchcock was willing to
stand or fall by hla predlctioi of 336 votes
made on Friday, and was perfectly satis
fied that it would be more narlv cor
rect than Mr. Mack's when the returns
are in.
Hitchcock Satisfied.
Mr. Mack declared todav that "Tha only
thing that can defeat Mr. Eryin is the
corrupt use of money ." He said he had
sent his last Instructions to s'.ite rnj-ir-men
to get out their vote early and to
see that It was fairlv counred.
"We are through." said - Chairman
Hitchcock today. "Our fight is won."
Mr. Hitchcock announced that there
had ceased to be any doubt as to Re
publican success In such states as In
diana. Ohio and New Jersey all
claimed by Mr. Mack, and It waa added
bv a member of his staff that the Ke
publican National Committee is as sure
of New York as It Is ot t-ennsyivania.
Today Republican Chairman Parsons
of New York County, thus summarized
the situation in Manhattan and the
Bronx, two of the five boroughs in
eluded In Greater New York: -
"If Mr. Bryan carries New York
County at all. it will be by a plurality
of from 40.000 to 60.000. District lead
rs believe that Governor Hughes will
run not more than 20.000 behind M
Taft In this county."
Gives Chanlw Big Majority.
Mr. Mack said today that his claim
that Bryan and Kern will receive S33
votes In the electoral college is as
based on reports received from state
chairmen and from private sources.
Ftste Chairman Conners haa predicted
that Bryan will receive more th
40.000 plurality In the state, and that
Mr. Chanler will get more than 100.000.
The Democratic National Committee
teased Its belief that Mr. Bryan wll
be elected on the following four rea
sons, which have been incorporated
Into a statement by National Commit
teeman Josephus Daniels, chairman of
the literature bureau:
"Bryan will be elected because the
Democracy today presents a united
front. Further, the Democratic party
will be augmented by thousands of Re
publicans dissatisfied with the mistakes
'vf 12 years of Republican administra
tion.
"This army of voters will be further
strengthened by a new force In Ameri
can politics the labor vote. -Assuming
there were to be a strict party line-np
at election.- the labor vote itself would
turn the scales to Democratic success.
The labor party has put all Its eggs In
theTVmocratlc basket, and It must win
to save them.
Democratic Party XTnlted.
"Mr. Bryan himself has gained won
derful personal strength In the last few
years. In all parts of the country, and
thousands of voters who neither un
derstood him nor his aims, now place
their absolute trust In him and his
policies.
"The Democratic National Committee
lias brought all the elements of the
party together. It has the labor vote
and Its remarkable accessions of
strength from the Republican ranks,
together with Mr. Bryan's strength
with the masses, are the reasons why
this Nation will turn to Democracy."
Mr. Mark, in a statement tonight,
again attacked the Republican party
for not immediately making their cam
paign contributions public. The chair
man said:
The denial by President Roosevelt
nd the denial by Secretary Cortelyou
of retting money from the big Inter
ests desiring Government favors were
more vigorous In 104 than they are
today. But after the election tt leaked

COUNTING ALONE REMAINS
MaHMachusetta Figuring on Majority
for Taft and Governor.
BOSTON. Nov. 1. With the Republicans
conceded to be in complete command of
the situation in Massachusetts, in the
National contest, interest in Tuesdays
battle in this state centers In the size . of
the vote and Mr. Taft's plurality. Elimln
atlng the vote In ls when McKinley car
ried the state by lM.on. the average te
publican plurality in .Massachusetts since
1172 In a Presidential candidate canvass
has been about 41.000. Four years ago
President Roosevelt won the state by
92.000. Although Mr. Taft will carry the
state, according to all political observers.
Governor Draper's contest for Gover
norship with Senator James H. Vahey is
somewhat in doubt. The Republicans look
for the election of their Governor by a
substantial plurality, while the Democratic
leaders say that Senator Vahey'a election
is not Improbable. It Is thought that the
race between the two parties, with the
Republicans well In the majority, will re
main about the same.
CROWDS AT HEADQUARTERS
Both Parties Confident and Both

CHICAGO. Nov. 1. Although most offi

night before, there was considerable
activity about the National headquarters
of both the Republican and Democratic
parties here today.

NEW YORK. Nov. 1. Standard Oil's
pernicious influence in the political
industrial and Judicial life of the coun
try received another severe drubbing
at the hands of W. R. Hearst tonight
when another series of sensational let
ters from the files of "No. 2$ Broadway"
were read to the immense gathering
in Carnegie Hall, where the Independ
ence party closed Its campaign.
Archbold's declaration last week that
his effort to secure the appointment of
Henderson and Morrison as judges in
Pennsylvania courts was merely a mat
ter of friendship and that they knew
nothing of his efforts In their behalf
was proven to he false when Mr. Hearst
read a letter from Archbold written to
Morrison regarding the matter.
Senator Bailey of Texas and ReDre
sentative Sibley of Pennsylvania were
lso dragged into the limelight long
enough to show that the latter since
his occupancy of a seat in Congress has
acteo as a spy" for the Standard Oil
interests. ana senator Bailey was
shown to be linked arm and arm with
the Congressman.
Mill more sensational were the dis
closures made regarding the Standard's
efforts to subsidize magazines and pa
pers, oioiey nimseir dealing to some
lengtn with the proposition to the
Standard Oil to gain control of the
Associated Press and other news bu
reaus so public opinion could be oron-
t-ri.v iniiuencea.
Mr. Hearst read one letter in which
Archbold renewed his "year's subscrip
tion to the Manufacturers' Record, in
closing a certificate of deposit for $3000
in payment. In another letter the
Standard OH magnate agreed to oav
00 to a Southern paper, with the
nope that Its Influence would he for th
best, and In another letter the sum of
$1250 was transferred to a Plttahur
oauy.
Proves Denial Is False.
in nis speecn Jttr. Hearst referred to a
recent statement by John D. Archbold
that he was sure that until Mr. Hearst
read the letters -regarding PennavlvRnln
Judges, neither Judge Morrison nor Judge
xienaerson naa any knowledge that he
(Archbold) wrote Governor Stone In their
behalf. Judge Morrison also declared
said Mr. Hearst, that he knew Archbold
years ago, out tpat he had not seen him
In years and it was inexplicable that the
Standard Oil man should take an interest
in his welfare.
'In the light of the letter I am about to
read." continued Mr. Hearst, "the ex
planation seems simple enough. Mr.
Archbold apparently took so deep an in
terest In the matter of the appointment
of Mr. Morrison to a Judgeship because
Mr. Morrison asked him to do so. and
Mr. Morrison certainly knew of Mr. Arch
bold's activity in his behalf because
Mr. Archbold wrote Mr. Morrison telling
him about It. You will see plainly from
the first paragraph that this letter which
Mr. Archbold wrote was in reply to a
letter which Mr. Morrison wrote. Here
la Mr. Archbold's letter:
Ills Own Words Contradict Him.
"2B Broadway, New York, August 3. 1899.
"Hon. Thomas A. Morrison. Smlthoort. P.
My Dear Sir: I am duly In receipt of
your favor of August 1 and It has given me
great pleasure to write Senators Quay and
fenrose. expressing my earnest desire that
It may prove possible and consistent for
them to support you for the Supreme Judge
ship. Very truly yours.
Mr. Hearst then read letters from
Mr. Archbold to Senators Quay and
Penrose, making the recommendation
and saying he would be greatly
pleased by their support.
I have shown heretofore, Mr.
Hearst went on. "the peculiar interest
taken in newspapers and magazines
nd lectures and other Institutions and
Individuals that Influence public sen
timent."
Mr. Hearst then read the following:
26 Broadway. October 10, 1902.
Mr. H. H. Edmunds. Baltimore My Dear
Sir: Responding to your favor of the 9th,
It gives me pleasure to enclose you herewith
certlncate of deposit to your favor for $3000.
covering a year e subscription to the Manu
facturers' Racord. Truly youre.
JOHN D. A1ICHSOLD.
7 50 Years In Advance.
I have looked up the subscription
price of the Manufacturers' Record," Mr.
Hearst continued, "and I find It is 54
year. Consequently Mr. Archbold was
Ither subsidizing the Manufacturers
Record or he was subscribing for 750
years. The I30ug is denniteiy stated as
year s subscription, so that there Is no
possibility of It being anything else than
subsidy.
"The object of these checks is to ln-
uce these publications to influence pub
lic sentiment in favor of the Standard
Oil Company, as the following letter will
showt
"20 Broadway. December 18. 1901.
"Mr. Thomas P. Graety, care of Buck ft
Pratt, room 1203. No. 27 'Williams street,
city Dear Mr. Graety: 1 have .your favor
of yesterday and beg to return herewith the
telegram of Mr. Edmunds to you. "We are
willing to continue the subscription of $5000
to the Southern Farm Magazine for another
year, payment to be made tha same as they
have been this year. We do not doubt but
that the influence of your publications
throughout the South to of the most helpful
character. With good wishes. I am. very
truly yours. JOHN D. ARCHBOLD."
Subsidizes Teachers.
"The Standard Oil Company not only
endeavors to influence public sentiment
through magazines and newspapers, but
it subsidizes teachers and lecturers to
'educate' the public in the interest of
the etandard Oil Company. The follow
ing letter is an example in point:
"26 Broadway.
-Professor G. W. Gunton. 41 Union Square,
city Mv Dear Professor: Responding to
your favor. It g!ve me pleasure to Inclose
von herewith certificate of deposit to your

to that agreed upon and to aid you In your
most exoallent work. I most earnestly hope
that the way will open for an enlarged scops,
as you anticipate. Yours very truly.
"JOHN D. ARCHBOLD.

a certificate of deposit to a dally news
paper: "28 Broadway. Jan. T, 1899.

Pittsburg. Pa. Dear Sir: As par under
standing, herewith enclosed find certificate

Sibley's Designs on Press
. "I will now read a letter -which in
dicates a still wider and more compre
hensive plan and one of even greater
Aarxrer to a free press. The letter
Is from the Standard Oil
Congressional spy. Joseph
Company's
C. Sibley.
Congress and Is headed Joseph C.
ley. chairman committee on ma
turee. House of Representatives, United
States, Washington. March 7, ISOa.
Mr. Hearst then read:
My Dear Mr. A.: Tha Illness of a member
of my family haa prevented my coming to
Nw Tor. Senator B. was to have gone
with me. J think he will go anyway, as he
has business there. 1 had a conversation
with sn important "official" yesterday and
ha told me there was but one thing to do.
and that was to slart a "back fire." Like
myself, he la much alarmed and a a mem
ber of the reigning family, hie hand and
tongua are tied. He thicks tha work should
be done in the education of rubltc senti
ment between now and the meeting of Con
grees In October. It ha. 1 think, been de
cided to convene Congress In extra session
at that time, though the Speaker will try
to have it go over until November If he
can't do better. I will know In a day or
two how he stands.
Sixes t o Long and , Campbell.
Long (Senator) and Curtis (Representa
tive) are the strong men In the Kansas dele
gation. I have explained matters to them
and I think their Influence will count some
when- they go home. Campbell Is a clever
boy; has no strong points yet developed. Ha
eka notoriety, but is harmless In himself.
This agitation. In the language of official,
started from the top and will run lte course.
It ie not a deep-seated, profound conviction
of wrong. The only thing Is to get delay un
til temperate action can be secured. I think
the pendulum will swing to the one side af
ter a while, but I do not want the devil
to pay before It goea back.
Get Control of Press.
An efficient literary bureau la needed, not
for a day or a crisis, but a permanent and
healthy control of the Associated Preas and
kindred avenuest it will cost money, but
will be the cheapest In the end and can b
made self-supporting. The next four years
Is, more thsn any previous epoch, to deter
mine the future of the country. No man
values public opinion or fears it so much
as Roosevelt. No man seeks popularity so
much as he. Mild reproof or criticism of bis
poller would nearly paralyse him. Today
he hears only the chorus of the rabble and
he thinks It is public sentiment. I don't
know whether the Industrial corporations and
the transportation companies have enough
at stake to justify a union of forces for con
certed action. It seem to me necessary.
Sincerely youre,
SIBLEY.
Mr. Hearst continued:
"The Senator B. mentioned in this
letter, of course, is our old friend Joe
Bailey of Texas. Without doubt, as Mr.
Sibley says. Bailey would come anyway.
He had business there. It Is Impossible
to open up any crooked cranny of Stan
dard Oil association without finding Mr.
Bailey in some dark corner blinking with
beady eye at the unwelcome light.
"The important part of this letter, how
ever, is not the part that reveals Sena
tor B.Tiley, a Democratic friend of the
Standard Oil. or Mr. S'ibley, the Republi
can friend of the Standard Oil. It is the
part which reveals the plan to control
the great news organizations of the coun
try 'the Associated Press and kindred
avenues,' to Influence publie opinion. In
that way Mr. Sibley thinks the public can
be deceived and public men like Mr.
Roosevelt, who values public opinion, can
be criticised and controlled.
"It Is undoubtedly possible for the
'Industrial corporations and the trans
portatlon companies' with the Stand'
ard Oil at the head to bring about '
union of forces for concerted action.
That union of forces would enable
them to control many of the great
avenues of publicity. ,
Joy of Standard Oil Press.
"Think of the Joy of the Standard
Oil In a 'self-supporting' organization
which would dally deceive all the citi
zens of the United States. No more
subsidies to newspapers and maga
zines and lecturers. No more passes
for 10,000 and season tickets for 2000
performances. Merely a self-supporting
or even profitable organization
which under Mr. Archbold's direction
could be brought to fabricate and
falsify as glibly as he 4I0.3. Perhaps
the people's public servants could be
controlled then without the need of
so many secret certificates of deposit,
and "certainly any exposures of men
like Foraker and Haskell would be
suppressed as yellow Journalism and
news not fit to print.
In complete Ignorance pf what was
occurring, the people could be led
blindly to the polIS to vote for the
perpetuation of the government of the
Standard Oil by the Standard Oil and
for the Standard Oil.
"When. I am attacked by 'certain
publications for making these Stand
ard Oil letters public, I cannot help
but think that the Standard Oil Com
pany has been partially successful In
establishing the efficient literary
bureau which costs money but is the
cheapest in the end.
Wanted Morgan Supported.
'Mr. Grasty, to whom Mr. Archbold
wrote a letter that I lately read, wrote a
letter to Mr. Archbold on December 4.
1903. The letter refers to the subsidized
Manufacturers' Record and says:
Dear Mr. Archbold In the article.
"Teachers vs. Doers," in the Manufac
turers Record thie week, there Is a world
of good common sense. Although Mr.
Morgan is commended as the leader in
rescuing transportation properties and
thereby meeting the needs of the coun
try, yet some consideration Is given to
the powers that have expanded our com
merce. Now, while it is expedient under
existing conditions to do all that we
can to turn the tide of anti-Morgan senti
ment, nevertheless 1 want to say to you
that I think it would be a good thing
if Mr. Morgan could be peacefully and
quietly supplanted as the most con
spicuous representative of financial
power.
'Unless you have devoted more time
than so busy a man Is likely to be able
to spare for such a purpose to that great
man's loss of the public confidence, you
can scarcely realize how much harm has
been done by his undoing or what people
consider the exposure of his methods. But
whatever we may call it, the effect of
the discredit which has befallen him has
been to make the public believe or at
least to take seriously sensational stories
concerted for demagogic effect which
prior to these disclosures were considered
as unfounded and unworthy of credence.
A number of my friends men of sanity
and feelers of the public pulse have
earnestly expostulated against the course
we have taken in Mr. M's defense, say
ing with singular unanimity, "He does
not deserve it and will not appreciate It."
Feared "Trust Busters."
" 1 am telling you all this because I
honestly believe Interests of such Im
measurable magnitude 'as Mr. Morgan's
are supposed to be. ought to be, under
the control of wiser -men men with
sense enough to see and avoid such
palpable pitfalls as surround the ship
building deal.
" 'A substitution of controllng power
a change of generals seems to be
the only way to escape the conse
quence and head off public distrust of
our great organizations and stop the
supply of fresh ammunition to the
"trust busters."
" 'Now among the latter I put The
odore Roosevelt and W. R- Hearst in
the same category, and Hearst today
has an organization of Immense effi
ciency, made up of first-class, high
priced brains backed, not by a barrel
but by hogsheads, and is liable to be
the Democratic nominee for the Presi
dency. That Roosevelt will be the Re
publican nominee Is a foregone conclu
sion. Now in times of depression the
slogan "anything for a change" goes
a long way. If a change be even pos
sible in my opinion it is probable
people who stand for the maintenance
of American institutions and . do "the
greatest good to the greatest number."
ought to be arranging to prevent the
possibility of such a disaster as Mr.
Hearst's election to the Presidency. Yours
truly. THOMAS P. GRASTY.' "

BUEL0W LOSES HIS POWER
His Position With People Is Almost
Untenable.
BERLIN. Nov. 1. Chancellor von Bue
kw'a .position arrrtrnw to fee - f.imoat a a-
tenable. Far and wide throutrnout me
empire the newspapers of all parties,
with vnrvtns deCTees of amazement and
regret, view the government's explana
tion how what purported to be enormous
ly important utterances of the Emperor,
affecting three gxeat powers. passed
through the hands of the Chancellor and
a long line of Foreign Office people with
out seemingly having been considered by
any of them or read by most of those
responsible for the delicate foreign rela-
lnn.
The Emperor fully condones Prince von
Buelow's part in the affair, but the Chan
cellor's authority and prestige with the
countrv have been so shaken that he
may again ask the Emperor to relieve
him.
Radicals Making Demands.
The Radical, social and Socialist jour
nalists utilize the occasion to urge on the
country a demand for a Ministry respon
sible to the Parliament and people.
In addition to the semi-official ac
counts already published, it is learned
that the Emperor handed the manuscript
of the Interview which appeared In the
London Dallv Telegraph and the author
ship of which Is still undisclosed, to
Baron von Jenlsch. who was attached to
his entourage while the Emperor was
absent from the capital a short time ago.
as the representative of the Foreign Of
fice, with the direction to send it to Prince
von Bnelow. The Chancellor interpreted
the note from Von Jenisch. which accom
panied the manuscript, as referring to
the lnclosure as an article, not as an In
terview, so that the Chancellor did not
consider It necessary to give It hla per
sonal attention. The manuscript con
sisted of a number of small, flimsy sheets
and the handwriting being difficult to de
cipher, the Chancellor referred tt to Herr
von Mueller, the minister at The Hague,
who was aottng as his private secretary.
Picked Up by Reporter.
The latter. In his turn, and without
examining the document, sent It to the
Foreign Office, where, m the absence of
Herr von Schoen. the Secretary for For
eign. Affairs, K' was read by subordinate
officials who did not attach Importance
to lt contents and returned it through
the proper channels without further ex
amination until transmitted by one of
the Imperial secretaries to England,
where, as the Tagllsche Rundschau, one
of the newspapers that Is read In court,
aristocratic and military circles, de
scribed It. "It emerged gaily into the
world. . Infuriating the French. Rus-sians,
Dutch and Japanese, chilling- the British,
exciting bitterness and nervous jrncatlon
on the part of our own people and un
dermining our neighbors' belief In our
reliability."
The whole Bubject is likely to come up
for debate in the Reichstag, which will
reassemble Wednesday.
Foreign Secretary Resigns.
BERLIN, Nov. 1. It Is reported that
Herr von Schoen, Secretary of Foreign
Affairs, has also tendered his resignation,
In connection with recent publications in
a London newspaper of the Emperor's
interview.

of Japanese Boycott Trouble.
HONGKONG. Nov. 2. Twenty-six
shops and godowns . were looted last

protested against its discontinuance and
last night's attack on the shops was for
the purpose of emphasizing the need of
keeping up the boycott.
Hundreds of police have been armed
and further trouble Is expected tonight.
Over 200 arrests have already been
made amid scenes of great excitement
