leave nothing undone that will contri-
butte TO the success OF Republicanisrn

Congressman R W. Blue said last
night TO a reporter:
Mckinley Will be triumphantly elect
| ed. he VIII carry every electoral vote
| from the Mississippi river on the west
TO the Atlantic ocean on the east and
from the Canadian line or the north
| toMa son and Ddxou's line on the south
| He will carry West Virginia, Maryland,
and Kentucky. with an even chance IN
Virginia and Tennessee. He will carry
the TWO Dakotas, Minnesota, Michigan,
| Iowa and Kansas with an even show in
Missouri. The chances are also very
much in his favor IN Oregon, Washing
| ton and California
I'm my opinion Mckinley viii have
more electorei votes than any president
has received since Grant defeated Gree
ley.
We are Tow face 10 face with the
Issue Of protection and sound money and
with the success OF Mckinley will come
the control OF the house and senate.
These great Issues Will be settled for ,
victory will be a permanent and stable
money standard and q lasting and glo--
ious prosperity.
1T Is OF little Consequence to the Re
publican party IN this contest whether
or not the Populists endorse B-yan.
William Mckinley can trump Over al
! OF the political crop failures together or
separately.
1T Is my opinion that the Popu1ists
will endorse Bryan. The platform up
on which he Il nominated is essentially
| Popuiistic and sufficiently socialistIc TO
crafty the most uitra-Populst The
chances are that the sound money Dem
ocrats and niddle-of-the-road Popuiists
viii each nominate a ticket. but these
side tickets VIII be OF little conseCuence-
Democrats who have made up their
minds to support the Republican ticket
viii do 1t regardless of any other ticket
and many OF the Populists who do not
endorse Bryan VIII vote fer Mckinley.
The People may expect still lower
prices Tor their products and more Dis
astrous times before the election IS
prosperity until there 10 a change o. ad-
ministration and administration poll
cies. The ticket and The platform OF
the Republican party are well calculat-
ed 10 inspire exaltins patriotism and
through Americantsn, protection 70
American industries and American
wage-earners is the leading issue Of the
campaign This VIII be better under
stood by the people as the campaign
progresses There has never been a more
important campaign IN this republic in
time of peace than the one now pro
grexsing. VII be full OF education and
patriotic Information The people Will
thoroughly understand the issues before
The time o0rnes for casting Tier ballots
