Fairview, Lincoln, Neb., , July 29. Charging that William H. Taft "is not satisfied with the work of the Chicago convention," which nominated him as the Republioan candidate for the presi dency, and that "he is deeply Impressed with the work of tho Democratic con vention," William J. Bryan today is sued a statement in which he expressed the opinion that Mr. Taft "fears the up rising which Republican abuses have caused, and yet, hesitates to adopt his real and substantial reform." The statement was called forth be cause of the allegation made by Judge Taft in his speech of acceptance at Cin cinnati yesterday, that Mr. Bryan was a destroyer of business. In regard to the speech, Mr. Bryan said "I read it, and shall discuss it as I deal with the various subjects upon which it treats. For instance, in a Speech at Topeka, between now and the first of September, I shall discuss the guar anty of banks and contrast Mr. Taft's position with the Democratic position.

MnNUmGIURERS' TROTTING STAKES BEGINS Twelve Thousand People Attend First Day's Racing at Detroit HALF STARTERS WIN HEATS Detroit, Mich., July 29. With three out of the six starters winning heats, the 1908 renewal of the Merchants and Manufacturers Trotting Stake, pfoved one of the hardest fought since the in stitution of the event in 1889. Spanish Queen, owned by George H. Eastlirook, of Denver, won first money under the five heat plan of racing,: although the old fashioned system would probably have given the honor to Alceste, driven by fleers. Fully 12,00 people turned out and saw the exceptional work on a fast track. Fleming Boy was a strong favorite, sell ing nearly even with the field. Fleming Boy led all the way in the third heat, finishing an easy winner Next came Spanish Queen, which collared Fleming Boy at the three-quarters, coming so fast that he broke and gave the heat to the Denver mare. The third heat was a repitition. Fleming Boy showed the way in the fourth, breaking again in the stretch, and this time when Spanish, Queen came by she wasc attended by Alceste, who won by half a length. Spanish Queen took th lead at the half in the fifth heat and again In the stretch Alceste rushed (Continued on Page Two.) those of former years, have been profit able. '- .- The present condition of the cotton crop and the grain crops of the south is good. If there is no deterioration in cotton between now and the close of the season the yield 'will he large. As a re sult of general prosperity among the farming communities, retail business In most southern towns has kept up fairly well. Merchants have been buying con servatively, however, and the effect has been a curtailment of wholesale business and depression in some, lines, of manu facturing. Stocks of goods of all kinds in the hands of dealers have been reduced, and with the good agricultural Outlook, there Is reason to expect a gradual improve ment in all lines of business.
