- In regard to thes everal conferences
had with Mr. Bryan, Mr. Mack tonight
said:
"While I ain here principally to attend the notification services, I have
discussed with Mr. Bryan tonight, and
mO also tomorrow discuss the general
plan of campaign. It has been my
fixed purpose in this campaign to deal
wltb actual facts, and these I have
communicated to Mr. Bryan, telling
him that the oondltions as I have found
tbem, and as they have been reported
to me by national committeemen and
well known Democrats, all point to his
election to the presidency.
Some Pew Predictions.
"Ohio, Illinois and Indiana all will
go Democratic, and I told Mr. Bryan
that I hold Wisconsin to be debatable
ground. Let me say to all Democrats
that the Democratic campaign is making more than satisfactory progress."
Jobn W. Kern has every confidence
in the election of tbe Democratic ticket, if every man does hta duty. Speaking of the situation, Mr. Kern said:
"I have told Mr. Bryan that conditions are more than favorable, and
while lt is too early to make predictions, it would seem to me that, from
reports received from conservative
sources, that it every Democrat would
lend his aid ln this campaign, as I believe he win, the national ticket will
be elected.
i "This muoh I feel, that Indiana is
safely In tbe Democratic column, and
-whUe I was only a few days in Iowa,
1 have learned sufficient to make me
believe that . Iowa is an extremely
debatable state. No defined plans have
been made for my speaking tour, and
it ta unlikely that 1 will go on tho
stump until after my notification."
During the rest of the week, Mr.
Bryan will engage himself with the consideration of the Democratic campaign text books. Conferences wlU ba
held with the committee on ito preparation, composed Of Jon;i B. Lamb,
chairman; Josepbus Daniels and R. L.
Metcalfe, editor of the Commoner.

Democrats    Luoky If   They Get   Any
Congressmen   From the   Buckeye
State—Handling    the    Contests With Care.
HOT SPRINGS, Va., Aug. 11.—With
Arthur I. Vorys, the Ohio Taft manager, and Mr. Taft's publicity assistant, Gus J. Karger, here today and
Frank H, Hitchcock, national chairman, arriving tomorrow, the spot lights
of the RepubUcan national campaign
seem about to focus on the Virginia
mountains. From this time* on Mr.
Vorys will spend the major portion ot
his time with hta chief. He has endeavored to familiarize himself with
every local political situation to Ohio,
and today added from fifteen to twenty
thousands votes to hta previous estimate that the Buckeye state would
give tbe RepubUcan national ticket a
hundred thousand plurality.
Mr. Vorys predicts the certain sue-
ces of the Ohio state ticket, and analyzes the congressional situation With
no losses over the present Republican
rates of sixteen Republicans to flre
Democrats. In doing the- latter, Mr.
VOrys conceded but one sure Democratic district and makes four others
doubtful.
While Governor Harris' position in
favor of local option may hurt him In
Cleveland and Cincinnati, Mr. Vorys
says lt witl make him votes to all other
parts of the state.
Though Mr. Vorys brings with him
a demand from every part of the* state
for the presence of Mr. Taft, during
the campaign, the decided inclination
of tha candidate, as well as the judgment of his advisors, ls against a traveling oampaign.'topo^t/

manager and the candidate, .auch as
the selection and assignment of speakers, local organization and the literary
features to oe developed. Mr. Vorys
wiU lay before Mr. Hitehcock to detail
tbe needs of Ohio ln all of these matters.
Incidentally, the West Virginia dilemma will be taken up, and a decision
doubtless announced as to the future
attitude of the national committee ln
that state. It was stated today that
the effort to have the state leaders settle their own differences and eliminate
one of the tickets, would be. strongly
made. The concensus of Opinion favors the withdrawal of the independent or Scherr state ticket.
Mr. Taft divided his time today-between correspondence, conferences,
work on his speech of the 21st to the
Virginians, who are coming here, and
a game of golf in which he -clipped two
strokes from bis previous record of 90.
John Hays Hammond, of Massachusetts, wilt be an arrival tomorrow to
discuss matters in connection with the
national leagues of Republican clubs.

LINOOLN, Neb., Aug. 11— William J.
Bryan, Democratic candidate for president, was the principal speaker tonight
at a banquet given by the Lincoln Typographical union ta honor of G.
[Humphrey O'Sullivan-of Lowell, Mass.

humorous- reference to Candidate John
W. 'Kern, who also was a guest. "H-3
ta naturally somewhat embarrassed at
[tiie ap'proacliing notification," said Mr.
Bryan, amid' laughter: "I realize how
it is with a .beginner but I am sure it
he wUl persevere, the time win come
when he will-' feel as I do, so accustomed to being notified that It seems
scarcely-an extraordinary occasion."
After remarking that he was glad to
get into an - organization where he1
could be a member along with Nebraska's governor, Mr. Bryan said.
"This |s a campaign where we are
going to take the people into our confidence, and we are going to have them
make the flght for onr principles. I
am glad to be associated with thos-j
who bear so important a part In the
great work that labor does. I believe
in the organisations of laboring men. I
believe In the organization tor what lt
does for those who belong to It, and I
believe in it for what tt does for those
who do not belong to tt. God - has so
linked us together that no matter what
we may desire, We cannot Uve alone.   .
"I believe that the labor organisations
of tbe country are more responsible
than any other one factor for thc improvement of labor conditions in the
United States during the last twenty-
flve years.
