and made those states certain instead of doubtful reached illinois this week anti and now I 1 that that state can also be putdown put down in the chert tan col column dmn 0 this language is ie considered very significant in washington because senator butler has been so very careful in his confidence arid and in binkin enking claims that some overenthusiastic over enthusiastic democrats have been inclined to accuse him of being lukewarm in the support of mr bryan mr fr butler isa young man and lie he did not care to endanger his future political ollit caI prestige by claims until ho he had bad carefully gone over the field and aseer ascer bained to his big own oin satisfaction just what the real situation was this he be has done and the result is liis his announcement that br an v N
