Journal, September 5th, says: A tremendous but not unusual tribute to W. J. Bryan as an orator was given at the state fair grounds yesterday afternoon when for an hour and a half ho competed successfully with all the varied attractions just outside the big audi torium, where he spoke. He held his audienco. Every bench was densely packed with people, who did not try to get away, even from the In tense heat The aisles were filled- As a fringe to this hugo crowd, men and women, twenty deep, stood around the edges, tip-toeing in an effort to see as well as to hear what tho great Nebraskan had to say. They did not crane their necks to the north when the cheers at the race track broke in on the speech. Tho heavy ex haust of the monoplane flying machine trying out Its engine in a nearby tent, was hardly noticed, and tho toots of locomotives, tho cries of venders of every worthless nlcknack seen on the fair grounds and the shouts of passersby had no effect. When he had concluded his first speech of the fall on political subjects only a negligible number of people had left tho place. The speaker did not lack for an appreciative audience. They cheered his humorous sallies and they cheered his trip-hammer blows, no mat ter whether they were sarcastically directed at President Taft or earnestly and heatedly directed omoter of tho voto of tho national ticket of the progressive party. I am delighted with tho voto that tho progressive party has given mo today' Whito River Junction, Vt., Sopt. 4. The fun report of the balloting In yesterday's oloctlon in Vermont was compiled lato today without alter ing In any material degree tho general figures as indicated by tho oarly roturriB. The unofllclal voto for governor reached 65,033, tho largest in a state election In a presidential year since 1904. Thero was no cloctlon by tho people, but a sufll ciont number of republican members of tho legislature wero chosen to instiro tho seating of Allen M. Fletcher in October as well aa tho remainder of tho republican stato ticket. The total voto of tho stato for all flvo candidates was: Allen M. Flotchor of Cavendish, republican, 26,259. Hnrland P. Howe of St. Johnsbury, democrat 20,350. Rov. Frazlor Metzger of Randolph, progres sive, 15,800. Clement F. Smith of Morrisvillo, prohibition, 1,443. Fred W. Suttor of Barro, socialist, 1,081. A number of small towns, where thero was no election for members of tho legislature yester day, were still balloting at a lato hour tonight It will bo some days before tho exact make-up of tho legislature is known, but early estimates of sixty-three republican majority on joint bal lot wero not altered by moro complete returns. Tho republicans re-elect both their congress men, Frank L. Green of St Albans and Frank Plumley of Northflold. They carried eleven of tho fourteen counties and 187 of tho 246 cities and towns. Thoir party majority of 26,817 four years ago and 15,739 two years ago dwindled to a plurality of 5,909, tho smallest margin ever given a republican candidate In a presidential year. Tho democrats carried two counties and thirty-eight towns and ran up the largest total since 1880. Progressives prevented a people's choice of a republican candidate for govornor, carried one county and twenty-ono towns. at Colonel Roosevelt. It was Mr. Bryan's first extended effort of tho campaign. It was to a homo audience, most of whom hold him in high personal regard. It was tho first occasion this year In this stato where a democratic orator has paid considerable attention to President Taft Mr. Bryan was Impartial In his treatment of the two candidates who opposo Govornor Wilson. WHY NOT PRESIDENT? Tho Chicago Tribune queries as to whother Woodrow Wilson should bo called "Dr." or "Prof." Why not "Pres."?

CONTRD3UTION 9 0 e a 9 8 Governor Wilson has announced that no campaign contributions will be re ceived from corporations. This act of tho democratic candidate for the presi dency will be approved by democrats who want their party to bo free from the con trol of the special interests. The na tional committee must, however, have money with which to carry on the cam paign and this money must come from the people. The Commoner will assist in the collection of this fund and It will receive contributions, acknowledging the same in its columns and delivering the fund to the treasurer of the democratic national committee. Every democrat ought to have some part in this work. Do not be ashamed to make a small con tribution. Give what yon can afford and every penny will bo acceptable. Here is a hint: Circulate a subscrip tion list at once among the democrats of your precinct and send the proceeds to Tho Commoner office without delay. The democratic national committee must bo supplied with funds immediately. e e e e 9 9 e 9 9 0 l&dbf u a-JlMUtnz"1
