.In all sections of the country, mere

L erg of the Republican party who
have been predicting panic following
f the election of Bryan have been wag
. . lag a fruitless campaign. Business
wen and laboring men have refused
to become frightened by the work
of those sight riders, who Include
V eery Republican -Btump speaker,
' from teblnet officer to constable.
- Instead of appearing as patriots,
; as Bryan, did when the Roosevelt
panic came on a year ago and he ad
V tided calmness and urged confl
dence, these Republicans have
sought to continue the present de
presslon by methods which would
put ta shame the wildest terrorist,
' In 6rder to gain a political advantage
for their fallen cause.

of Industry, and commercial pursuit.

. not only have no" fear of panic, but
believe that Bryan's election Is es
sential to prosperity -Many of these
'men have felt the plnch of the panic
which has Impaired business under
Republican rule. They want ' no
more of It, but are anxious for the
I election of Bryan. ; , V

"All this talk -that Bryan's election
will be detrimental to business Is aa un-
: stable as a soap bubble. It la trie same
tvpe of argument no argument at all
that has been put forth against the
Democratic candidates since Cleveland's
. first campaign. It represents the last
clutching attempt of Republicanism to
bloek - a- a woepiag- Jemocrattc ivlctory.

"It seems to' me that this talk to the
effect that .If Bryan la elected the hard
times will be continued indefinitely. Is
too absurd to merit serious consldera-

panic? Or. if the present oanlc caught
the president unawares, why doesn't he
abate It, restore confidence and put the
country an me sam condition it was in
(two years ago? There is no road so
long that It has not a turn, no day so
cloudy that It will not be followed by

Anty Drudge" Nonsense, Your wife washed with Fels-Naptha
soap to-day, and it was all done two hours ao., . She has a
nice hot lunch for you and had time to read and play the .
piano besides. And there's never any boily smell when
Fels-Naptha' s used."
There was a woman who made a prayer
to be saved from washday with all its care.
Then she tried Fels-Naptha and quit pray
ing that particular prayer. It wasn't ex
actly washday that she meant. . What she
really did mean was to be saved from boil
ing clothes, with its resultant nauseous
steam and heat, and from back-breaking
hard rubbing.
Fels-Naptha answers that kind of peti
tion completely, if you use it the
Fels-Naptha way. Follow directions on
the red and green wrapper. For white
' clothes you'll read: Soap the clothes, roll
and let them soak in cold or lukewarm
water Jfor 30 minutes. -Then rub lighdy,
rinse, hang out on the line. No, you
don't boil them; Fels-Naptha takes the
place of that and hard rubbing, too. .
Fels-Naptha has " many other valuable
uses-washing dishes for instance. You'll
hnd directions for all on the wrapper.

(Ualted Preee' Leased Wire.)
St Petersburg, Nov. 2. Although; "th
ofTlcials of the foreign office decline to
discuss the matter. It is Intimated In
diplomatic circles today that Russia wll
withdraw from participation In the pro
posed Balkan- conference and will re-
ruse to reerirnlztf Anstrla-rlunaarv s an
nexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
That this move Is contemplated by Ru
sla is positively asserted by the parlia
mentary leaders of the douma, but it is
not verified by members of the diplo
matic corps or tne government.
The rumor is given the color or trutn
by the preparations that are being, made
ror a hasty mobilisation or ttussian
forces on tha Balkan frontier.
The members of the foreign office
have repeatedly stated that the nego
tiations between Russia, Austria-Hungary
and other European powers are
still in progress and that an acceptable
program for submission to the confer
ence -may ultimately be arranged.
Members of the douma say tha plea
forMielp sent by Servia and Montenegro
last weekvwiu be needed and that Rus
sia will aid them.

Sixth and Eighth assembly and the
Ninth congresslonabl districts that they
declare indications point to a complete
overthrow of the existing . political

The old parties in this section of the
city have been stunned by the awing of
public sentiment. There has been little
or no attempt on the Republicans' part
to make a stiff campaign, and the elec
tion district captains of Tammany hall
have apparently limited their efforts to
creating discord in the ranks of the
growing party by trying to Influence
the Socialist voters to go over to De
Leon, wno is running lor congress on
the Socialist-Labor ticket .
Neither Taft's nor Bryan's name Is
heard at anyyf thea rallies, any more
than Is Hughes' or Chanter's. One sees
and hears Morris Hillqult, J. G. Phelps
