should the democrats carry Cook coun-
ty their majority would not be enough to
wipe out the majority which the repub-
licane will bring to the county line.
Two weeks ago the democratic man-
ayers spoke with every indication Of
confidence Of the strong probability OF
Bryan getting the twenty four electoral
votes Of Illinois. They then said the
democrats would come to the Cook
county line with majority which would
be augmented by q democratic majority
In this county. They still insist that
Cook county will 20 democratic, but de-
velopments the laet ten days have
shown them, they say, that the demo-
Gratis have no chance, outside Of a land
slide, of overcoming the normal repub-
iican majority in the state outside Of
Cook county.
While these democrats are peszimistic
regarding the national ticket they stout
|ly maintain that Samuel Alschuler will
run 30 far ahead OF Bryan In the state
and the republican majority will be 30
small that the democrats have better
than fighting chance Of electing AL
schuler governor, and will almost cer-s
tainly elect majority OF the represen-
tatives to the lower house Of the legis-
lature.
DR.. T. N. Jameson, chairman. OF the
republican executive committee. told a
member Of the democratic state COM
mittee that Alschuler would run 25,000
ahead Of Bryan In Cook county; the
democrats say that Aischuler will run
at least 20.G00 ahead Of Bryan In the
state outside of Cook county, and add
THAT Jamieson's estimate is a conserva-
tive one. They thus claim that Alschu-
Ter will get $1,000 more votes in Illinois
lthan the national ticket will get.
A member OF the democratic state
committee said yesterday:
MCKINLEY will carry Illinois. Two
weeks ago we had the republicans grog-
Icy, but the farmers lined up for the re-
slpublicans and altho We will make gains

llican majority in the agricultural dis
ltricts. Here and there, as in Will coun-
