VOTES CHANGING IN CHICAGO.
Many Elements Flocking To The
Democratic Standard

Chicago, October 29.-Robert Z. Burke,
chairman of the Cook County Democratic
Committee, said in an in..erview today:
ave lost heavy Gold Democratic vote in
1896, and with that we lost many votes of
men of independent tendencies. We have
regained support of those elements, repre-
scented by such men as Edwin Burritl Smith,
Judge Thomas A. Moran, E. o. Brown, john
p. Hopkins, w. III. Payne, Roger C. Sulli-
van, Charles NJ. Walker, Granville W.
Browning and Judge Tuley. They are not
only with us, but are working.
"The German vote of Chicago is about
400 We did not get 10 per cent. of it
in 1896. This year we will get at least half
of it, as indicated by the strong movement,
headed by such men as William Woke, Henry
Raab, Julius Godzier, Sigmund Zerile, Adam
Oriseifent and others. Mr.. Bryan will get
the IRISH vote almost solid except the Federal
and State otficeholders and their immediate
friends. -Four years ago n large element,
typifed by such men as John Finely and
Hickman Seaman was not with us. The
Polish vote will be almost solid for Mr.. BRYAN,
and there are 22,000 Polish voters in Chicago.
Mr.. Bryan got onya small percentage ofItal-
ian voiers in 1896. This time he will get at
least 60 per cent. of them.
There are 6.000 voting Hollanders in
Chicago. Such thing as Democratic or.
ganizafion among them never was known
before in the history of the city. This year
we have good organization among them and
win get that vote almost solid
By election day we will have naturalized
about 5000 foreigu-born citizens of all ma
tionalities, and every one of them will vote
the Democratic ticket. We are now in po-
siiion. as we were not in 1896. to utilize our
full strength. Where we had no organiza-
ton then we have now an organization that
has no superior in the country. We have
control of the city government, which was
then used against US, and which now enables
us to protect ourselves. We have loyal Judges
and clerks of election in every precinct We
are able TO man the polls in every precinct
with captains, watchers and cballengers and
are able TO protect them, while they protect
the party's interest. We know that our votes
will be poled this time and counted"

A Pointer from Ohio.

Mr.. J. Wesley Biggs, Of this city, re-
ceived letter from his brother, William
D. Biggs, living at Cincinnati, Ohio, on
Thursday. In regard to politics, Mr..
Riggs wrote:
ssMy father n-law, you know, and his
sons have been the staunchest kind Of Re-
publicans, but this fall will vote for Bryan,
as will hundreds of Others, and from the
outlook today believe he will be elected.
Gan Independent paper here took the
poll of the 10th ward, which is composed
largely of Germans, who voted for McKin-
ley in 1896. The result of this poll
showed net gain Of 20 per cent. for
Bryan. If this ratio carries throughout
the state Bryan will have from IS, 600 to
So, 900 majority.

Presidential Election Day.
From the Chicago Tribune.

rfom the CuicdSO lrlbuHe. I
A correspondent asks this question: "Why
is it that the Presidential election is held on
the first Tuesday after the first Monday in
November? Why was il necessary to insert
in the constitutional amendment the express
wording the first Tuesday after the first Mon
dayY Why not the first Tuesday in the
month 2"
This querist is not so familiar with the
Constitution as he should be- II does not fix
the day for the choosing of electors All it
prescribes is that they be selected prior to
March 4. The designation of the day for
holding the Presidential election is left to
Congress.
The first act passed by it relating to- that
subject was in 1892. 1t provided that Presi-
Dental Electors should be appointed n within
thirty -four days before the first Wednesday in
December. This left each state free 10 se-
lect day to suit itself within those limits.
Pennsylvania chose electors on the last Fri,
day in October. Other states elect theirs on
different days between the beginning and
middle of November. When Harrison was
elected in 1840 the Democrats asserted that
his success was due partly to fraudulent vot-
ing, which was made possible by the lack Of q
definite election day. 1t was alleged that
Kentucky and Ohio Wings had voted in both
states, the elections being held on different
days. So in 1S45 the Democrats passed the
law now on the statute books making the first
Tuesday after the first Monday election day
At that time but Eve Of the twenty six states
held their state elecnons in November. In
Michigan and Mississippi voting was carried
on through two days-the first Monday and
the following Tuesday. New York had had
three election days-the first Monday, Tues
day and Wednesday-bu had finally confined
voting to the middle day. or, the first ines
day after the first Monday. Massachusetts
chose slate officers on the second Monday in
day. So Congress selected the FIRST Tuesday
after the first Monday SO as to consult the
convenience Of three states out Of FIVE, one Of
the three being the important state Of New
York.

A LITTLE TALK ABOUT
SHOES.


For the past year we have been experiment
ing with line of womens and children's
shoes. We have sold them to all kinds of
people, for all kinds of wear, in all kinds of
weather, and with the guarantee that we
would replace every pair that didn't wear
well. Not II pair has been returned, but
every day some one asks for those shoes be-
cause they wore so well. We haven't adver
tised them or said much about them, because
we wished to first thoroughly test their wear
ing qualities. We have tested them well and
we now know from actual experience just what
they are.
We have recently greatly enlarged the line
and called them our "WEARWELLn Shoe,
and to every pair we have attached our name
and guarantee. They made for us in one
Of the largest and best managed shoe factories
in America and we have exclusive control of
them in Carroll county.
We have taken shoe from each line (just
picked it at random from stock and cut it in
half to show you Just the kind of stuff Of which
they are made, and we will guarantee every
shoe to run just like these samples. Ask 10
see these cut shoes, they will be a revelation
10 you.
Remember we warrant every pair to wear
satisfactorily or we will repair or replace them
free of charge. You can buy plenty of shoes
with this guarantee, perhaps, but how about
the price. Our "WEARWELLS'' are some
thing really good at moderate figure.
The women's, misses and children's are
made of fine dongola. some with patent tips,
some with tips OF the same, in the latest styles,
either button or lace, at these prices:
Women's, sizes q to Z, $l.50.
Misses, sizes liz to 2, SLIPS.
Child's, sizes 81 to IL, 81.
Chld's, sizes 5 to s, 75c.
We also have the chid's made up in sizes
TO g. in palmer way. but of the same solid
stock and with the same guarantee, at SOC.
We also have them in boys, made of strong,
solid calf three soes, and an extra back stay
that keeps them from ripping. If you have
found it hard to get satisfactory shoe for your
boy, try these and your troubles will be at an
end.
Boys, sizes 2 to 5. $1.39.
