The meeting of committeeman was more
for the purpose of comparing notes AM
reporting the condition Of their districts
than for anything else. e. K. Ridgely,
chairman of the populist committee. NIT
with them and participated N practically
all the work done.
Splendid reports came from every dis
trict and the feeling was that the State
Will be Won for Bryan If the full vote is
brought out From the reports of the va
rious committeeman no effort is being
spared to get every voter to the POLLS in
November. All the reports show large
recent gains in every county with improy-
ing conditions everywhere. Many tlngles
have been Strengthened out through the
ind vidual efforts of committeeman and life
injected INTO workers who have been
apa.hetic.
After each committeeman had made his
report general statement was made by
Chairman Love ait the request of Mr..
Johnson. Mr. Love described the splend d
working condition of the party and cX-
pressed his opinion that with susta ned ef-
fort the State will be absolutely safe IN
November for the entire ticket including
a legislative majority.
BRIGHT PROSPECTS EVERYWHERE.
Mr. Johnson was asked for informal on
concerning the National ticket and he re-
ported substantially as follows:
1T is now just about FIVE weeks until the
dpy of the presidential election, and the
situation Nationally is such as to give the
ordinary observer some little insight into
the probabilities.
LAS every one knows, the presidential
elect four years ago turned on a very
narrow margin of votes. Twenty-Five
thousand votes cast for Mr.. Bryan In a
half dozen pivotal States. in addition To
what he received, would have elected him
In the States in question probably 10000
votes We're cast against Mr.. Bryan by gold
/ democrats. In fact all we'll informed
| politicians agree that It was the gold
mociat vote that elected Nj. Mckinney.
| This year at least 90 per cent of this gold
democratic vote in all Of the States men
/ toned will be for Mr.. Bryan, and it looks
reasonable to conclude that this vote alone
will turn the balance in all of the Sat
which would have been requisite 10 have
elected Mr.. Bryan four years ago.
THE Holland German votes, OF whici
there arc at least 40, coo in Michigan alone
which are usually staunchly republican
will nearly all be cast for Mr.. BRYAN
this year Our ticket will make gain
of more than 30 per cent on the German
vote in all the States and is max ng great
inroads into the Swede and Norwegian
vote, generally against us.
