and looked lovingly at Aunt Flora
Aunt Margaret entered the room a
minute later, and glancing at Lois at

face is as red as beet!
The red grew deeper in Lois face,
while unconsciously she turned petu-
lantly away from Aunt Margaret, who
prides herself on being "plain- spoken. -
Aunt Flora's was is best. She can say
the right word at the right time, too:

A Platform Of EvasIons.

The Republican platform is not well
received except by the most extreme
OIL the party organs. The Boston Globe
says: 1t wonld be almost idle to waste
words on any analysis or serious criti.
cism of this platform. AS might have
been expected it savors throughout of
the same insincerity that marked the
late session of Congress. The resolu-
tlons jingle a cut-and-dried tune that
tits the non committal policy which
has been SO long on exhibition before
the people. The party having done
little that was expected of it, simply
enunclates set of resolutions ex-
pressing satisfaction with what it has
both done and left pndone. As plat
form of evasions it is well in keeping
with the recent history of the party.

Predicts Bryan WIN WIN.

81 Blanton Duncan, of Los Angeles
CAL, who predicted the defea6 of Mr.
Bryan in 1896 shortly after his nomi.
nation by the Chicago convention, pub
lished a letter in Kansas CITY
claiming that political conditions
have changed to remarkable extent
in the past four years, and that Mr..
Bryan will be elected next November.
Mr.. Duncan estimates that $4,000,
| 600 votes will be cast in the election
this year. OF which Mr.. Bryan will re-
ceive 400 900 and Mr.. Mckinley 6 200,
600. The middle-of.the-road populists,
he thinks, will not poll over $50, 600
votes half of which will be be cast in
Alabama, Georgia and Texas. The
social labor vote is estimated at 100, 900
and the prohibitionist at 25O,OOO.
MIR. Duncan believes that not less
than 100000 Scandinavians, Dutch
and Germans who supported McKin-
ley in 1896 will vote this year for Mr..
bryan. California. he says, will re
turn majority of at least $4,000 for
Bryan.
The States which, according to Mr..
Duncan, will give their electoral votes |
to the Democratic nominee are as fol-
lows: California. Colorado, Indiana,
Kansas, Nebraska, Minnesota, New
York, Nevada. Utah and the "Solid
South" including Kentucky. These
States have 256 electoral votes, or 80
more than are necessary to elect
The States conceded to Mckinley
Ire Illinois. Iowa, Maine, Massachu
'etts, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon,
Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Yer
mont. with 12S electoral votes. The
doubtful and contested" States are .
Connecticut. Idaho, Montana, Michi
IAN, New Hampshire, New Jersey,
'outh Dakota, Washington, Wisconsin ,
nd Wyoming, with SO electoral votes. h
Not only will Mr.. Bryan be elected ,
resident, but, from Mr.. Duncan's :
'olnt of view, the Democrats will have
majority of at least Is in the next :
