PREDICT BIG GAINS.
Democrats Note Daily Improvement
i'm the Prospects.

Within the past fortnight conditions for
the Democratic party in Chicago and
Cook county have improved 100 per cent
and the leaders and impartial observers
are certain that the Democratic ticket
will sweep Cook county this fall and land
a Democratic nominee in every important
office. The disheartened Republicans ad-
NIT the Justice OF the predictions.
Throughout the state similar conditions
prevail and the Democratic sentiment is
overwhelmingly strong. The chances for
the election by the Democrats of a State
ticket. a big majority OF the legislature,
congressman and offices In a majority Of
the counties have never been better. The
war has encouraged the Democratic man
ayers because the people recognize that
the Democratic minority in the House
forced the Issue.
Local conditions have never been better,
according to Robert Il. Burke. secretary
of the County Central Committee. and a.
c. Bentley, secretary OF the Democratic
State Central Committee. and j. w. Orr.
chairman. The strong anti-Republican
machine feeling has placed the Republic
can bosses In the worst predicament they
have ever known in a county campaign.
The slaughter of their city ticket in the
Sears campaign is regarded as a strong
indication Of what will happen this fall
with Raymond. Hcaly and the other ma
chine men on the ticket.
The Allen bill has also put the Repub-
lican party and machine in desperate
straits. The recent talk of denouncing
In the county convention the measure
and the legislature and governor that
passed and approved 1t has resulted. But
this will not be done, and the party and
the ticket this fall will have 10 bear their
burdens with others. The extra session

on the other hand there is no break I'm
the Democratic ranks and the County
Convention will be full Of harmony and
business. Secretary Burke said on this
point yesterday.
''The county ticket this fall will be the
strongest we have ever put mp. II will be
"a model and no man in Cook county who

$50 for the arrest Of the person who
painted his dog Carley.
The animal is a great favOrite In the

growth upon the heavily wooded point
which intervenes between Fort Monroe
and the Chesapeake Bay. The troops It
is stated. will be ordered to encamp upon
the point when the work now going on is
completed.
The statement that these troops would
be used in manning the batteries at Fort
Monroe is discredited by army officers,
who say that practiced artillerists alone
can do this effectively. II is suggested
that the Maryland troops are probably
