I 1 ' 4 : i VOLUME 1, NO.. 283 Labor Day In the Oil Metropolis will See Entertained Thousmds with the BRYAN 111)1! KES L NOT A GOOD PLACE FOR BREED ING DEMOCRACY. IS IN NEW YORK TODAY The Glad Hand Extended William J and Reminded Him of Cam paign Da s, New Haven, Conn., August 31 The visit of William J. Bryan to Connec ticut today must have strongly re minded him of the strenuou days dur ing bis presidential campaigns, for he delivered four nddi esses, eaih of con siderable length, attended two recep tions and was the center of handshak ing bees whenever his admirers could roach him. All this was crowded into the hours between noon, when he reached the city, and the hour of his retirement tonight as a guest of for me Senator Archibald McNeil, of Bridgeport.. Everywhere he was hear tily received, although there was an absence of street demonstrations, both "here and in Bridgeport. His audiences, however,' at tiems were wildly enthu siastic, especially at the noon lun cheon here.. . ' The features of the day were the luncheon and the conference of New Kngland democrats. "At the former Bryan was welcomed to the city and state with cordiality, that for worth has seldom been extended to a visitor, and at the latter he stood before a representative body of New England democrats and with great earnestness snoke of the problems which the par fnpp in the coming campaigns. Bryan said in the course of his ad dress that New England never bad been a "good breeding place for dem ocrfwy; Jefferson had never considered -,t ' neither did Jackson." Bryan left New Haven for Bridge port 'shortly before six o'clock, in that W to the home of Mr. McNeil for dinner and later addressing an audience in the armory. Both of his main addresses at the mass meetings were along the lines of his address at Madison Square Garden last night, touching upon issues which he declar ed to be of paramount importance at this time. Tomorrow morning Bryan will re turn to New York. HE DISLIKES BRYAN. W. A. Harris Conceals His Hatred and Now Dodges. "W. J. Bryan will not make speech es in Kansas this fall if W. A. Harris can help it," remarked one of the best known democrats in the state at the oendusion of the democratic state committee meeting in Toneka last week. "I know Harris has denied the truth of the published statement that he wants no outsiders to eome to Kan sas this year, but bis denial is not fonnded on truth. I was in the meet ing and heard the matter discuss.ed so I know what I am talking about. , 'Harris hates Bryan and makes no secret of his hatred when he things t anions friends.; Harris knows that Kansas people would like to hear Bryan this fall and that the Nebraskan would do the party much good in the fno T do not mean bv this that Bry an would make votes for Harris, I think the contrary is true. But Bryan is going to be the democrtaie candidate for president in two years and by two or three speeches in Kansas tuis j.uu he could stir the voters up so we would have no trouble in carrying the tnte in 1008, "Harris does not want Bryan elect ed. Besides, he does not want to stir the republicans up on national issues this yenr. The presenco of Bryan would draw the lines in the present campaign on a partisan basis. That u ilia Hiinir Ilnn-i does not want and i, nrW to Bccom'dish his own "ur poses he is willing to injure Bryan's ehances in two years. Fearing to open 1v Meknowlodire his hatred for Bryan, Harris does a meaner thing nnd stabs the Nebraskan in the back under the elnak of friendship. It is the old story of Harris he is for Harris all the time and never for anyone else. "I am first a friend of Bryan, and do not like to see him get the worst of it from men who should be his friends While I am supporting Harris, you can say the most of the enthusiasm has been taken out of me by Harris' atti- IihIp toward Brvan and there are nun dreds ore who feel just as I do about it.

ARE NOT SCABS TULSA DAILY WOULD, TULSA. , INDIAN TERRITORY, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1908. STOLE MILLIONS OF TRUST FUNDS OFFICIALS OF FAILED INSTITU TION WERE IGNORANT. CLEARING HOUSE REPLIES Says Directors had not Met in Three Years and Did Not Know the Extent of the Shortage Philadelphia, August 31. Addi- iniinl developments of a sensational character, continue, fo crop out 'in connection with the failure of the Ifeal Estate Trust company, which in stitution failed on Tuesday of this eek. Today it became known pub licly, for the first time since the sus pension of the company that there had not been a meeting of the hoard f directors of the failed hank for nearly three years, every detail hav iner been left to the president of the company, Frank K. Hippie. It was this state ot affairs which caused the clearing hoflse association to hesi- ate about coming to the aid of the Trust company at the meeting on uesdav. The criticism of members f the clearing house association was responsible for the information being iven out today by one oi the ead- ng members of the association. Sev eral of the directors of the Trust company have stated since the crash that tne company could have been saved had the local bankers advanced $7,000,000. A member of the clear ing house association who was pres ent at Tuesday s meeting, said today: "The directors of the Heal Estate Trust company knew as little about the affairs of the company as any or the bankers present. They did not appear to know whether the shortage was $5,000,000 or $10,000,000, and it would have been folly for us to have advanced cash when the affairs of the bank were in such a deplor able condition. Junkiu could not tell us- why the state board of examiners and board of directors of the Trust company had failed to do their duty for nearly three years." OKLAHOMA POLITICS- Thirteenth District Republicans' Have Organized In Oklahoma, Special to the World. Enid, Okla., August 31. I he meet ing or the Thirteenth constitutional district at the court house last nig'ht was remarkably well attended by committeemen and others, coustitut ing probably the most representative gathering that has. been callod in Enid for some tune.

Sturgis, chairman of the city central committee, and M. IJ, Asher was elected to preside. J. b, Lightfoot was made secretary. A committee was appointed to de vise plans for organization, consist mg of . B. Harrison, K. A. Kent, Judge Callison, II. G. McKeever and S. Lightfoot. The committee rec ommended that the republicans pres ent from each of the wards in the district select a man to act as a mem ber of the permanent committee, and that the four so selected name a chairman outside of their own num ber. After some discussion this was adopted. ' The ward selections were as follows: First, W. I. Drummond; Fourth, George Rainey; Fifth, Judge Ciillison; Sixth, II. G. McKeever. These" ""men selected Judge James as their chairman, and the entire pro ceeding was then ratified by a unan imous vote of all present. Judge Ciillison, who had early in the meeting endeavored to get an ex prcssion in favor of making the nom ination by the primary election sys tem again brought the matter up, offering a motion to that effect. This motion was voted down. Many who are in favor of primary elections as an issue, feared to make the change at this time, on so important a mat ter as the selection of a candidate for constitutional convention.

In all probability the commit tee will recommend n platform on which the candidates for the conven tiotn will stand, taking as a basis the platform drawn by Chief Justice Bur ford and adopted here by the first dis trict congressional convention and merging with it the briefer platform adopted by the second district repub licans at Geary.
