The number of prominent Democrats all over the country Kho have an nounced their desertion of Bryan and have advised their friends to vote for Tuft and Sherman Is a matter of urave concern to Mr. Bryan's managers. In Richmond , Va. , always a rock-ribbed citadel of Democracy , a Toft business men's club lm been organized , with hundreds of members , and In Baltimore the defections of lending Democrats has become the subject of a dally Ae rial In the newspapers. These llluu- tratlons arc given not because they are exceptional In thin campaign , but be cause of their geographical location. In Chicago a ju'nsatlou was causal by William Prentliw , who announced that he will mipport Tuft Instead of Bryan for President and Deneen In- Htead of Stdveiwon for Governor. Mr. Prentlss has boon a Democratic lead er In Chicago for several yuan * . Me was Civil Service Commissioner under j Mayor Dunne and has several times been Democratic candidate for Judge. In 1808 he was chairman of the Demo cratic State convention. He wan form - mrly an ardent Bryan partisan. In a letter made public recently Mr. PrcntltiB charges Bryan with betraying his followers aud forsaking thu prin ciples for which he stood prior to the present campaign. Mr. Premiss bays : "Bryan ulaluin that ha is the miiu to continue and extend Roosevelt's work , claiming much of It as suggestions of his own. Less than three inonUia up > 1 preferred Bryan as Roosevelt's sue cessor. lie was my party leader , In whom 1 then had full confidence But. aa before indicated , my faith In Bryan Is a relic. Bryan , not the Ideal Bryan of the past , but the real Bryan of to day , surrounded by the Macks , Mur- phys , McGrawr , Taggarts , Sulllvans and Joe Baileys et ul. of thu present day Democratic party , at tha beat could ba but a diurnal failure.

In my Judgment the measures you advocate would be wholly In effective in curing an evil , and no far as they had any effect at all would merely throw the entire business of the country into hope- lens nnd utter confusion. I put Mr. Tuft's deads against your words. I nsk that Mr. Tuft be Judged by all his deeds , for he wishes none of them forgotten. I ask that you be Judged both by the words you wish remembered and by the words that seemingly you aud your party now desire to have forgotten. Ing cause of Bryan. "My registration speaks Tor Itself , " wild Mr. Barrett. "When asked testate state my politics I said I was a lie- publlcan. That tells the talc" Barrett preached Democratic doc trines from all the stumps of Califor nia. Uenioii * of a Nortb Giirullunn. Regardless of past affiliations , slu dents of affairs , delvers and thinkers , are fast lining up for Judge Taft , A recent example Is that of Silas McBee , editor of the Churchman , of New York. IB an interview he says : "I am a North C'arollnan by birth and u lifelong Democrat. I shall vote for Mr Taft because he has It in his heart to tiring my people of the .South back into absolute union with the national life and to their historic place an a con trolling force In the nation , aud to do which would Immortalize him as a statesman. " 1 shall vote for him because IIP more nearly represents my Ideals or govern ment , of social order and economic pol icy than Hiiy living Democrat , or any man before the puople to-day , save alone Theodore Roosevelt , who Is the only Republican President 1 have over voted for. Mr. Taft has administered t > \vrj trust committed to him by the na tion with an eye single to the nation's Kood and for the highest : Interests of the people that compose the nation.

Mr. Willis w'll j vote J'gr Ttit't. "I'mler no circumstances co-ild I vote for Bryan , " said he , "for the reason Uml 1 do i jt believe hn Is ulnce , - . aiiU If sincere , IK not a good man for J' ev- dent or the United States. " "How do you gauge public senti ment V" Mr. Willis was asked. "Among my clientele 1 know of no one who will vote for Bryan. There Is not a Democrat who favors him. " Another prominent Houthern Demo crat who will vote for Taft Is Mr. W A. Oarrett. chief executive otlk-er to the receivers of the Seaboard Air Line Railway Company. Mr. Qarrett's reasons for supporting the Republican candidate are that Hr Is the candidate of thu business men and his election would be for the bebt ti ioreets of the country. Mr uuirett suja he has noticed a leaning toward raft In several of the Southern State * and luntauc d AJabnisA as one of these. Two men who have ulwujs bean prominent in Democratic circles in Dal * tlmore who hav > announced that they did not think enough of Bryan to rot * for him , and that they would support Taft instead , are Mr. John B. Semmes one of the prominent lawyer * of Baltl more and president of the Schoo Board , and Mr , Leigh Runsal. who In years past hns been one of the mos active workers in the Democratic party Both men said that they could BO stand for Bryan and his policies. Mr , Bonsai's defection from the rank of Democracy was an Mpj Ulj&ocfc ta the Brj'Htl mptllri tfi'o State. They had ( minted on him an onu of the prize sjicllblniUrH during tin- coming cam * jmlKii , mid hud no Idea hut that he wns un ardent mipportcr of the Democratic nominees.
