Ti:4.4.? tiuil ana warrison x\esDii 01 intta)urgh, chairman of the finance comnittee, met tonight in local headjuarters and, after a canvass of the iituation, announced satisfaction vith the prospects. With the foregong, Senator Walsh of Massachusetts, :hairman of the senatorial campaign :ommittee and Representative McUlintick of Oklahoma, chairman of ;he campaign committee of the house :onsulted. Senator Pat Harrison, ffho has completed a speaking tour n Oklahoma and Kansas and is now ;n route to New Jersey and Connecicut, attended and reported on conlitions in the section he had visited. It was announced following the j neeting that Democrats would great y reduce the. Kepuoucan majority n the house and may win the house, | hat Democrats would hold their own j n races for the senate with the in lications favorable for gain of one r two in the East. The leaders delared, however, a woeful handicap n lack of money and expressed coniction that if they were able even to end all available speakers into loubtful districts and meet their reluirement for advertisement they i rould certainly win the house. It is learned that when the nation- i 1 committee renders some time this 1 sreek its', colledftons and disburse- < lents, it will be shown that contri- ] utions to both campaign committees 1 ind the national committee have to- 1 ailed not more than $100,000. The , Republican national committee will :xpend $500,000. More significant than the. actual 1 hortage of money are the desertions >f liberal contributors who have kept , he wheels moving in past campaigns. , rhe receipts thus far have come al- ^ nost entirely from the little fellows vho always can be counted on for 1 lonations of $1 to $100. _ ; :AROLINA 1902 TEAM ATTENDS football Game in Columbia?W.

Berlin, Oct. 26.?The first days o November, which once brought revo ution to Germany, again may prov< i fateful section of the calendar fo: :he republic, in the opinion of news Japer commeiiiatuis uiavusamg i/w lay the simultaneous announcement :hat Germany has invited foreigi inancial experts here to advise he jn the question of stabilizing tin nark and that the reparations com nission alse is coming to Berlin. The coincidence of the two lates ievelopments in Germany's turbu ent financial situation,' says, th Bpersen Courier, makes it look as i ;he authorities on both sides wer 'trying, to beat each other to it" oj spipe definite decision. The newspap ir .holtjs that the government's invi iation'to the international expert $ at least a clever, political move lince the affairs to be dealt with an mcl} as the foreign countries . wil ake a hand in anyway. The fac ;hat representatives of outside pow ?rs have been asked to look over con iitions for themselves, the journa ldds, will make it easier for Ger nany later to oppose financial super vision. The Boersen Zeitung thinks "i ings like a bad joke to hear that th rery moment when the fall in th nark has driven German finances to ;he edge of an abyss, the reparation :ommission, under initiative of M Barthou (the French chairman o ;he commission,) is breaking it :ead over the question how t squeeze a couple more billions o paper out of the German peopl ;hrough new taxes." "We fear that the efforts of Si /' John Bradbury (the British repre sentative on the commission) in th Face of such charlatans are experi Bents directed toward a futile oh iect," the newspaper concluded.
