Kcpnbllcan Leaders Chnekled In Sieaking of the Contest, bat Not so Now They are Possessed of a Feef ing of General Alarm and Special ' lVars Are Expressed for the Safety of Bos Joe Cannon; 4 . By THOMAS J, PENCE. Chicago, 111., Sept. 15. At the be ginning of the campaign Republican leaders chuckled to themselves in speaking of the present political con test. They ''professed to, believe' that the Democrats did not nave a chance on earth and that the holding of the election would be a mere formality.: The only question with these self-ap pointed wise people was the size bf the Taft majority. Republlcajn papers and especially: those ! Influenced - by trust Interests, gave frequent expres sion - to this character of boasting. Some of the metropolitan papers in their enthusiasm quoted fictitious bet ting odds of ten . to one t in favor of the Republican nominee. I , . This situation is chansed now. No more is heard from those Republican leaders abou a walk-over victory. Publicly these Republicans assert that they have a hard nsht ahead of them, but -ilnt private conversation they ad f mlt the, situation is anything but. en? couraglng ; ; As a matter of fact, .well Informed people who1 have travelled about the country admit, the .trend of sentiment especially In the middle and far western States, is: depidedly , with Mr Bryan.1, i With reference to - the States east of. the Alleghanies, Demo-' crats are more conadenti than.; ; they have been,slnce ilS92.

It is free ly admitted that the- popularity of the nominees ' and the Denver plat form with the well knoyn dlsorganlf in the Republican 1 States. . , has made debatable fully a score of States that; have been regarded; as Republi can. The Democrats nave followed up this advantage and It ia a matter of knowledge that' Chairman Mack has extended his fight into. States which were regarded several months ago as almost helplessly Republican. r! y The. feeling! of alarm: has taken pos session of these heretofore sanguine Republicans In a number fot States, aS well , as In a national : way. Here' - in Illinois It Is openly proclaimed through Republican papers that I Uncle ' Joe Cannon, the legislative boss of the ad ministration, may go down to defeat. There Is open revolt j against; the Speaker In his own district. The flght on Cannonlsm. which is one of the is sues; featured in the pemocratlc Text Book, seems to nave made a aeep im pression on the voters throughout the country. The result is the signal of distress is coming from ? some of Uncle Joe's Congressional" associates who have been conspicuous! In their efforts to stifle legislation at Washing ton. The cry of alarm started when Representative Babcock, Of Wisconsin, chairman of I the ' House Judiciary Committee, was turned down by ; his constituents. I Eabcock was Uncle Joe's right hand power in checking the claims of labor in Congress.- This re volt against Cannonlsm, which is one of the -acute Issues of i the campaign, has spread from one end for the coun try to the other. This evident drift of sentiment among the voters towards Bryan and Democracy has very natur ally made its first impression In- Con gressional districts. II ' Republican papers here, have al ready begun to put out stories about the jeopardy in which the Boss of the House Is placed, and m theanger to other Republican leaders who help Uncle Joe kill meritorious legis lation at Washington.- j it is aeciarea that these stories ref!ectthe genuine alarm that Exists among Republican leaders, tand that their circulation, m the press at this time is U or the pur pose of communicating this feeling of fear to those special interests which, the Sneaker and his Republican fol lowers In . Congress have favored at the expense of the people.

That is the method the Repub lican party has employed in the past to compel Insurance, k rflllfoad and other corporations to 6,taijgflnd deliver th e peoples I money.- j ft , ' The rpeeches that Speaker Cannon is delivering" indicate that he Is in ja panicky j condition. At the Republican State convention in HUnol last week. Uncle Joe was very abusive of M,r. Bryan, Mr. Gompers and all those who ore working for the Democratie cause. His violence of speech and .action would Indicate that he has lost . Ms head.

"Mr. Cannon denied Gompers repre sented the sentiments of the laboring men in his attacks n the Republican ticket, .

Mr. Tillett emphasized "the , Importance of the hank guaranty deposit as one of the best planks put forward by the Dem ocratic party, and , he discussed this Issue from every standpoint in a most mastertj' manner, in which Mr. Cox's resolution to let the educational Inter ests of 'the .State remain, out ofx poli tics, was received by the Republican politicians at the recent State Repub lican convention,' and to the manner in. which Mr; Cox cleared out at t suggestion of the politicians.

Decidintr against the South Carolina Dispensary Commission, the United States Circuit Court of Appeals handed' down an opinion' sustaining ,the opinion of Judge J. C,.bPrltchard, of the Circuit Court for. the district of South Car olina, in the v famous Fleischman Company ahd others; against tho South Carolina Dispensary 1 Com mis-' sion. Today's decision was written by' Judge James E. Boydfc of Greensbo ro, N. C, and concurred in bv 'his as sociates. Judge Edmund Waddill and Chief Justice Fuller of the Supreme Court Of the United States ; ; The decision is a "voluminous one and holds that the proceeding is not one against the: State and : that the complainant is ot forbidden Lto jriam- tain his action by the eleventh amende ment to the Federal Constitution. It holds that the framers of that amend ment to the Constitution jiever -conceived ; that a Southern State- would' engage in the liquor business ar d be come a trader by buying and s fell i n g an article of coraraon traffic land common with the citizens": of the coun try. The court questioned, therefore", . whether . the State was;; exerclsinp-' a. governmental.prerogative: or perrorm- ing a function necessarily or rproierly. incident to Its autonomy as a Stattj, " It declared that'the- fund in contror versy "which the complainant claims . It should be paid . f rom,--.ljeing in the . lunds of the Commission .'charged " with the dutj' of abolishing the dis- pensary, the State, has ho Interest. ,in . so much thereof as necessary toliwi-', the Just debts. "The members.' of -tJi. "Commission,, according tosthfi ,-i-ourt, noia tne runas in trust ior paj ment: of all just debts of the Stati dispen-, "have a property in the funds- in the - hands of the Commission to the ex tent that the debts are shown to be just ana a "uaiciai aeterminauon or the true amount of such debts can In no way affect the rights ' and interests of the State. A - - - , The .suit,; said the decision. . ls-nof against the State, nor is the State an v- Indispensible party. ; ' rTreating the fund in ;the hands of ' appellants as a trust fund , it - adds, "and the 'duties of the trustees lelnsr clearly defined, the trustor ia not even a. necessary party to a suit brought to compel the trustees to discharge their duties. ' Their position appears to be that the agentsrepresentatives of the debtor, should . constitute a tribunal ab- '' '-. solute in Its character, to ..arbitrarily pass upon what, If anything." is due an alleged creditor, and If a claim be ad- ' judged. Invalid, without further oppor tunity for redress on the part of the creditor, . To uphold such a contention' would be to deprive Such a creditor ;" of his property without : due- process, of law," ' . ..';,: ... . .,- '. ' : On the Eleventh Amendment. , The court says, regarding the clev- .' enth amendment: , '::rf ".- ."Undoubtedly the eleventh, amend ment was intended to prevent ' the Federal court' in suits prosecuted IJy -citizens f another. State, ; or citizeifc - .or.-subjects of a foreign State from terfering with a State in preservation ot -its-autonomy In maintaining its own system of self-government, so loin : as Vuch system is in harmony with the. Constitution of the United States. To this end; therefore, the funds of the -State- In Its treasury held by its offi cers or agents for use in the adminis tration of the governmental affairs of ' the State are not to be affected -by the process of the Federal -tourt . nor ran - such court entertain Jurisdiction of an action which has for Its purpose , the invasion 6f rights of the State to manage and control Its internal af- fairs or of an xactlon which will ob struct the State authority or "impair the tState instrumentalities In the- dls- . charge of . legitimate functions in the maintenance o the State's Integrity."

Referring -to the opinion of the Su. preme Court of South Carolina, that a suit against the Dispensary .
