I Chicago, Sept B—William Jennings Bryan starts today on his first

campaign tour of the east, which is to last almost a month and will In- ■ elude the territory which he once ' called "the enemy’s country." This four is regarded by Mr. Bryan as the most important of ths campaign, for it *ill give him an opportunity to make his appeal and sound the sentiment in New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Connecticut, Rhode Island and West Virginia, and he fully believes that this trip will tell the stcry of his chances of election. As for the middle west, he is satis-1 fied with the outlook. He believes he i is certain to sweep this part of the j country and that startling surprises are in store for the republicans in such rockribbed states as lowa, Kan- ; sas, Nebraska. Illinois, Minnesota and i South and North Dakota. Except for a few speeches he is to make in Illinois and Indiana cm his way east, and a lash through Ohio, Michigan and Wisconsin on his way back, he has finished up his fighting in the west, and believes that as matters stand now there is to be a landslide i n this part of the country. From now on he is going to make the east the battleground, so far as his efforts are concerned. Especially is he to concentrate his efferts for reports which he has received in large numbers daily assure him that he has a special fighting chance there. Republican leaders admit that there is going to be a great falling off In their vote, and privately they also admit that Bryan Is likely to carry several republican states of the middle west. This condition of affairs in the west is what makes Mr. Bryan so anxious about his tour of the east. He believes that If he finds things as promising in the east as he has found them in the west he can spend the last three weeks of the campaign at Fairview, content to wait for the result of November 3.
