.During the verbal attack by Council
man Baker, Driscollr Bennett and oth
ers on Mrs. Trumbull, Councilman
Vaughn- excitedly arose - and inquired
what the Baby Homo did with- Its
money. Nobody ootrid see. what con
nection there was between this Insti
tution and ths eublect in hand, but Mr.
Vaughn insisted on problifg the Baby

tion. In answerlnr objections of some of
the counciimen to nts resolution on tne
around that it was ridiculous for the
city to expect a private society to make
a report of matters pertaining to its
own private business, Mr. Baker said
he wanted the resolution , to go before
the council, at any rate, and that he
wanted the Associated Charities to re
fuse the request, or not, as it might
see fit.- He said he regarded the so
ciety as a public institution and con
sidered that the city had a right to
inspect Its expense and salary accounts.
Therefore, ho demanded a report to the
city irom it.
Mrs. Trumbull said the Associated
Charities would have its annual report
published some time next month, but
that she didn't eonoMor the ecu noli had
any right to demand a statement any
rre man it woui.i nave to expect any
other private soe'y tojnak a report
on its axrairs. .
"Westerners have no idea of the
overwhelming Bryan sentiment that ob
tains in the states that cluster about
New York," remarked a prominent
Portland business man today, who has
just returned from a trip to New York,
Chicago and other eastern cities. "In
New York city I found almost nothing
but Bryan sentiment. Broadway is
lined with Bryan boomers,' their being
five boomers of the Democ ratio nominee
to one of Taft. Even down on Wall
street and on Lower Broadway in the
big wholesale district, Bryan sentiment
largely prevails. I can't see It any
other way than that Bryan will sweep
New York by a large majority, and
New Jersey ks practically certain to
go for tbe Democratic nominee.
"In Chicago there is a regular Demo
cratic groundswell, Bryan's name being
on the lips of three fourths of the
"eople one meets.' Even ths best-informed
Republican 'politicians in Chi
cago privately admit that Taft is
doomed.
"Out of five Washington newspaper
men attacned to Republican neadquar
ters m Chicago, four told me tha
there was nothing to it but Bryan, that
ne w outs' certainly carry unio, minoi
and Indiana.
"I returned ' to Portland, convinced
beyond any doubt that Bryan will be
the next president, and I am going
about my business confident that no
harm will come to the country because
of Democratic success this year. Busi
ness men in the east are not alarmed
at the prospect of Bryan S election,
and why should thev be?"
The man who gave expression to the
above is a Republican, who is going
to vote, for Tart, and a business man
of 20- years residence . In this city.
