81 am much pleased with the present
national Republican ticket and am as
sured 1t will poll heavily in many OF the
Western states found wrong in the count

a Republican majority of l2,OOo TO lo,oo.
Minnesota will go Republican.
ION my way to the coast l spent sew
eral days in Montana and was much IN
terested liz the complex situation there.
There is every prospect that that state
will go Republican this fall. The situa-
ton is just this The DAILY and Clark

II Is possible Clark will get a seat In the
United States senate. DAILY will never
give up his fight and when every other
resource is exhausted, then DAILY Will

the new trade of the Pacific will be the
chief factor in making Seattle and the

about partly on account of u shortage in
the Minnesota and North Dakota crops.
but there is another factor which is to
aid the farmer Is the general prosperity
of the country. We are using more wheat
today than ever. The people can afford
to pay for II. and this state of affairs,
together with the shortage, will bring
wheat up to 81. This prosperity is what
makes the farmers vote the Republican
ticket, and the farmers elect presidents"
