The report has clr ! culated in the west, where details wero given' as follows: The multimillionaire wss to give $150,000 to the campaign fund, 50, 000 of it was to be. spent In Montana, and. In the event of Mr. Bryan's elec tion, Senator Clark was to be named as minister to France. A more improbable story . could not " well be conceived, It would Inevitably be revealed to the people In most of Its details, and would Rive the lie to the whole program of reform of campaign contributions which Mr. Bryan has led and forced on the country; ft would not be good campaigning for Mr. Bryan, for the simple reason that Senator Clark's connection with the campaign In that manner would lose more votes than could be gained b: nendlture nf 10 Brvan would not effect such a deal any to ma by the legitimate ex times laO,000; Mr. wav. because It Is remignant sense of nnlltlcal nroorletv.

Sept.l 7,-Overshad owing the existence of the principal Re publican and Democratic national head quarters in this city is the question of the - political ' vote of Charles Evans Hughes. - y ' ' , The Republican party of New - Tork state is between the devil and the deep sea. Whether It renominates Governor Hughes or whether it accepts Jimmy Wadsworth. Jr.. or some other oppos ing deader, it must answer ror mis ct Whatever the action, it is bound to find reflection in the Republican vote at the November noils. -Since W xorx can make or break a presidential nominee. this vote at the November polls is a matter of national importance.

Some idea of the intensity or tne feeling against Hughes may be gath ered from the fact that at a recent race meeting y In this stale, after the governor had spoken to the crowd from the grandstand, the racing men refused tn nrnreeri with the races until the cov entor had left the grounds. This la amDle. was the strangest futurity ever run in the-history of the American turf,' because it was run without a sin- ale nublii warer on a ainale horse. Governor Hughes, however, has boat of staunch friends, who fear -tne aire results of his possible defeat. Word has gone forth from Sagamore Hill that President Roosevelt will keep his hands off the fight. Chairman Hitchcock, of the national committee, however, has In dicated a belief thatHughes should be renominated, and Secretary Straus, New York's , member of Roosevelt's cabinet, has declared that Hughes should be re turned. "The leaders are opposed to the re nomination of the governor and believe they can defeat him." says Mr. Straus. "But if the people are for the governor, the leaders, as tha people's servants, must Interpret that sentiment in their decisions. Twenty-flve- years' experi ence in public life has convinced me that the leader who does not reflect the sentiment of his constituents is unwise." Last week at Ithaca, Governor tiugnes was given a veritaoie ovation, oe maun a onion iilI unBw.h. and as a result of his day there acquired the support of a leading. Ithaca newspaper, together with leading political powers or xompaina county. A hirdaeve .view or Jne situation would lead to the prophecy that Gov ernor Hughes IS to be renominated. His measures, while oilteny onposea in many quarters, are nevertheless, popu lar. His sterling Integrity is so strong ly apparent that it looks as though It might be political suicide for the Re publican party to neglect it. it tne con trolling leaders of the state, however, were to nave tneir - way, , kit. nucnw would leave the political map forever. In View or tne erieet wnicn tne new York gubernatorial - nomination must noroHHnrllv havn on the presidential sit uation, however, the Question of Hughes' nomination or retirement must be care- fnllv neiirhed before decision is given. The situation is one altogether unique In the political history or ew xoric 'i i l i', rn rf it JUUM Joe Dixon's Pradiotloa. Senator Borah was sent on the sturop by National Chairman Hitchcock, and was assigned first to Maine, wherethe state election occurs one week from to day. It is the understanding that Sen ator Borah will be kept speaking- until the close of the camDaisn. Senator Dixon believes that Taft and Sherman will carrr the entire list of I mountain states. He ventured tne rol- lowlng prediction to The Journal: "We shall elect the, presidential elec tors in every state in the Kooky moun tains and on the JPaclflc coast. M opinion is that the people recrard bot Mr. Bryan and Mr. Taft as- big; and goon men; , tne day has passed wnen either of them could be assailed by contrary assertions without causing re sentment by the voters. But I believe that the people look on Mr. Bryan more as a greatA preacher and on Mr. Taft " as more a constructive statesman to whom it would be safe to entrust the . beadshln of the national government 'Roosevelt's support will count, and we I . win have many jjemocrauc votes.

At thla stage of the campaign, no denial la made by the Republican lea it ers that it Is "any man's fight," that Bryan may be elected. The spirit of unrest among the people is Keenly real ized - here at both headquarters, and there is no disposition to Jeer at. the Nebraska candidate in personal con versation. This Is the one marked change apparent to the onlooker here, in contradistinction to the situation - in previous csmpairns, when there ttnfirn unillafiilaed. On the other band, the Democrats realise that they- are opposing a man who has many elements of strength, and especially that his campaign manager, Frank W. Hitchcock, although a young man. Is nevertheless one or tne aoiest political generals who has ever ap peared on the American arna. Up to this time the fight hac ben desultory: henceforth it will be mu?h more strenuous.

The local saloon men and resort keepers are Inclined to take the matter lightly, manv claiming that It Is out of the Jurisdiction of Governor Fort to enreroe local lawa. The contention of the local authori ties Is that i per cent ef the fixed and transient residents of this city do not want a closed town. They claim It would serlouslr interfere with business and injure tne iworvt popularity. The question involved is not so rnucn whether the saloons shall be closed or the city left, wide open, but rathr whether local authorities can Interpret the state laws to suit the majority in any locality. Thla problem brings as back to the fundamental idea of gov ernment of the people by the people ine question is one which Is' bound to sooner or later come to every community, especially at this period of prohibition reform.
