" "These men hitherto have been al most uniformly Republicans. . They htv.

"Today they open their eyes to what?; TO tne disclosure tnai ur raum, uuy iii a market controlled by the trusts and sell in a market brisk with competition. "An that la not all. They find to day that not only do they face that, but (they faoe a condition In which a trust Unay enter their own line of manufac ture or sale, and take their business completely away from them. 'They awake to find that the nations natural resources otner man 8iicumii , al lands have been almost completely . monoDOllced. and that they nave oeen : 'holding- the aack' for the special lnter- i at rellnw. "Henca they will pupport Bryan he- , cause, they believe' that he l ror tnetn against further trust aggression. And , their votes' are numerous, too. Two Business Classes. t talked with n A. Brim, a manu facturer of Elkhart, Ind.. who likewise iaeee the point. He said: I i' "There are two classes of business men today privileged and competitive. .The former are entrenched behind too Uilgh tariffs, paten sight-, franchises ! ;and ownership of natural resources. . Their success depends, not on quality of service rendered, while the other class depend on quality of service, and .they must meet competition. "I am of that competitive class, and must depend for raw material on my buaineHs enemy the non-competlUve . business man. "These business men of my sort this year see through the sophistry of poll? loal alliance with concerns mat operate under advantages of special legislation and executive privilege or one Kind and another." I have quoted these two men from mnnv who have been interviewed be : cause their statements resemble each other very closely, and that very re . semblance is the essence of this letter. In other words, these men have ex changed views, have passed them on to other men of like occupation, and to my personal knowledge a sort of "under ' ground railroad" has been operated along that line dt hundreds of the busi ness men who are especially treated in this discussion, The Comma aa. i "We see the point," is the consensus, land the nolnt is that the industrial de velopment has made seaure the trusts and precarious the business man who, as stated, must buy In a market arbitrarily controlled''nd sell In competition. This aoDlles eauallv to small ahOD or storekeepers. These men I have talked I with In Washington, new York, A;hi- whll it la confidently believed that 200. 000 who formerly opposed him will support Mm this year. This take 100,000 from one side and give It to the other, making a gain of 400.000 net ' XddmA to tha 1.K00.O0O ralna In the labor and commercial travelera, It looks like a rather good, bet .that Bryan will hm nlectad.
