Show CHANGE SENTIMENT OF I George A Snow Tells TeUs of Political Political cal Feeling in the tilo East BRYAN 0 GETS GElS STRONGER r SALT LAX AD ADITS ITS XIT DEMOCRATS XAY AY George Georae A A Snow who is just home from a six weeks business trip in the Ute ast east a note of warning to the over Oer Republicans in Utah as es esto 10 to the political conditions in the nation as viewed by him in Ma Jd contact OO tact with th numerous business men in the great middle states I am a Republican said eald Mr r Snow in Jn dise fn the political situation in lis office yesterday I vote for t forM M and naturally to 10 see aee him reelected but I am by 1 y no DO means certain that he be will be reelected on OIl the th contrary I shall not be greatly cur sur surprised ed ed if It Mr Bryan wins willS out next Tuesday Of ot course he be continued co it seems presumption for tor me to set my opinion up against those e of ot the great veat men of the seat east but this is bi my conviction tion Those e who woo are ar claiming McKin ley leys s election as cc certain are Influenced very Nery v ery largely by their wishes w thes in the mat matter matter matter ter and the seine same is I true as to the letting The me betting counts for to very little ittIe in influencing the result re In my judgment it is Ie not a 5 to 1 nor a 8 4 to 1 proposition As AM a betting proposition I would put it at about oe oeo to o in favor of McKinley y not Dot any netter etter etter than tIt that tItI I was in the east in 1891 when the campaign campain was at ita its height when the people of or Utah thought that Bryan Bryn would surely win but I wrote home hol fl to tn toray plY ray friends that McKinley would win wit without boat the shadow ow of or A doubt wand d that Bryan had no show sho on earth erth Now I find a very radical change in public sentiment and it is UI z not confined to any i class or section put it is there and no noman nouan I man uan can mingle with the business and manufacturing interests Without not noting notIng ing It it Bo Do Kot Pear ar Bryam How do I account for tor it r continued Mr ir Snow Well that is a question that I am not prepared to answer fully fuMy I t know that among am business men of the fast east Mr Bryan WM ws looked upon in 18 1896 as being beinar revolutionary and arid unsafe That fear has han as been die dis dispelled in Lu the past four years and the themen themen men nien who wIo fought him the hardest four years ago are now supporting him the most ost The gold Democrats have hae gone pile back into the Democratic because became they x OId ld that other is issues Issues sues Hues are of much m more importance and andi hey They i are In ia hearty sympathy with Bryan on those questions They hold bold aj airo aio o that if It elected elect Mr Bryan cannot ev the financial system of ot the nation because congress will be against him to hold him level But Rut this thie was not the most significant thing that Mr Snow said I 1 was in Illinois Indiana Michigan and other middle western w states tates a great deal he be said and my business brought me into contact with many business busine men and manufacturers and everywhere I found the sa satie ne complaint against the growing power of the trusts Men Hen who in 1891 1831 were at the head of manufacturing turing institutions and were bitter hitter against Bryan because they thought his election would mean their ruin are this year for tor him They find And that the great organizations have the power to raise rat eor or lower loer the price of at the commodities used in their factories so that they cannot annot safely figure on any heels basis and they are at the mercy ercy of at the Neither do they know when they will wUl be squeezed out of business entirety entirely It I is not the traveling men anti the working men alone who are suffering buffering from the trusts there is no nornan manufacturer except ex ept the largest Jar ones who nho feel feet safe sate safeS S Influence ee of Imperialism m 1 I found that what the Democrats call rail imperialism is having a great Influence in favor tavot of Bryan ryan in the east ea t tand and middle west The Democrats Democrat who vent over to McKinley on the mosey money question are getting back into the Democratic Df party this year on this is issue issue sue NilE and they are taking many Republicans Republicans beans with them t m mIn In ln Chicago it seemed to me that or organized organized organized labor was waa for tor Bryan almost to 1 a man and I was w told that this title was the case in the other large centers of population Pour Four years year ago Cook coun coon county county ty in which Chicago ia Is situated save gave ye McKinley it majority this thi year it ItI I will v ill go for Bryan by from OOOO to 40 foo majority and the Democrats there ay ray fa that this change ehan e is sufficient to give the state stale of Illinois to Bryan This Phi same name state of affairs existed in Indiana Ohio Ohl and Michigan The coal strike in Pennsylvania made many thousand votes ote for My candid judgment Is iM that he baa has a good chance to win in I know that McKinley is ia by no means as 8 strong as he was in Mr fr Snow sad that he found bud busi business budness ness conditions Rood good all through the east cast ea t Trade is affected less lees by the campaign than has been the ease case in inmany inmany Inmany many years before bt ore Some explain this thi thisby thisby by ly saying that McKinley Me Kinley is I certain to tobe lx be elected others by saying that t Bry Bryans Bryans Bryans ans administration would be conserva conservative cone thE live and the fhe most that he would be able 10 to do would be to reverse our Philip Philippine pine policy and curb the power of the trusts rusts 1 But business ia It good Bood and a spirit of confidence prevails that was totally lacking four years ago gO Mr I was as accompanied home by his wife who
