Secretary of the English Zionists. de-

riched themselves by rigging" the mar

The deafening noise of the pink shirt

of its revolution against the coat tyranny,

1t reminds enc of the ''bloomer' agitation

one that, in spite of that violent and wide

POLITICAL NOTES AND GOSSIP

what's Up in the West .-Eyery per-
son of prominence connected with the Re-
publican organization and who has been
interviewed during the past week has de-
: clared that the real hard fighting of this
campaign will be in Wyoming Kansas.
Montana, Idaho, Nebraska, Colorado. and
/ Utah. All of these States were carried by
| Mr.. Bryan four years ago by substantial
majorities in every case except Wyoming.
In this State Mr.. Bryan had q lead of only
5SS. His pluralities n the other States
were as follows: Kan sas. IL. 1853; Montana,
22,e4S; Idaho, 1865; Nebraska, 1886;
Colorado, 1852; Utah. 81, OsS. All of
these States, including Wyoming have a
total electoral vote of only thirty-four. It
cannot be understood why the Republican
managers should think the issue is doubt
full in any OF them. or even if i: were why
they should care to make the fighting in
them harder than in some of the States
of the middle West. From the Democratic
viewpoint the only one of them thai is at
all doubtful is Wyoming. and most Demo-
Gratis seem inclined to grant that the Re-
publicans will carry the State in Novem
Der. But nothing has occurred in the
other States named since the last general
such slump as the Republican managers
are trying to make it appear. Almost coin
ci6entally with their announcement that
The real hard fighting of this campaign"
is to be in the States named Roosevelt's
orders from Hanna are shown 10 carry him
into these far Western communities. He
will spend the greater part of October in
them. and 1t is expected that he will create
great deal OF noise and buster. At
least, the programme contemplates that
much fuss and feathers win mark the
Rough Riders pirouetting through this
region. It is suspected, however, that the
work by which they expect to carry this
group of States will have been done be-
fore Roosevelt reaches them. With this
end in view it is thought Mr.. Hanna very
soon will establish branch headquarters
OF the Republican National Committee at
some central point, perhaps Denver. from
which he can conduct the campaign at
cloSer quarters. Il goes without saying
that hundreds or thousands of dollars will
be poured into all of these States, and then
IL they should be carried by MIR. McKin
ley several Scholarships also will be
gained by the Republicans. There is good
cause for the suspicion that Scholarships
ana not electoral votes are what the Re-
publican managers are really after by
planning on such an extensive scale for
campaigns in Colorado. Utsh, Montana,
= Idaho, Kansas, and Nebraska. In Utah.
Montana, and Nebraska both Scholarships
are to be flied by the Legislatures to be
elected in November. One Senator is to be
elected in each Of the other three States.
These nine Senate seats, of course, are
worth fighting for. and just why the
Democrats should rot win them all cannot
row be understood. The talk and maneuv-
ers Of the Hanhaites plainly indicate that
there will soon be something doing" in
the far West, and that it behooves the
Democratic managers to keep a sharp look
out in that direction.
