will be in charge of the Rock Islands

Mass, Califoria and Puget Sound
points, viii be Charles Phillips of To-

These excursions go through the west

very popular. There is a possibility that
another popular Rock Island Office en-
ploye will be appointed a tourist agent
for one of the other trains also.
In crossing the continent in charge Of
these trains, about a week is consumed
each way, with a two day layoff at
either end. This makes the position OF
conductor or tourist guide a very con-
genial one.

Springfield Republican: Forecasts Of
the election based on straw votes, par
tial polls of fractional voting precincts
and other fragmentary tests are as thick
as falling leaves just at this time-and
1t may be said of all of them that they
are mere guesses. The most elaborate
OF the current reviews Of the situation is
given by the New York Herald. which
concludes that a landslide is forming in
favor Of the Republican ticket, giving it
a larger electoral vote than it had in
1s96-2S2 for Mckinley and I65 for Bry-
an, against 271 and 17s respectively four
years ago. This review comedies Ken
lucky to the Democrats. but claims all
of the other doubtful states for AIcKin-
ley Nevertheless it is admitted that
several Of them are very doubtful, and
none more SO than Illinois. which gave
Mckinley nearly 150. 900 plurality in 1896.
Even If the Democratic electors fail
there, il is said that the Democratic
state ticket may win. That does not
point TO much of a landslide 1t is still
a wavering contest. with an unusually
large silent vote, which will go nobody
can tell how. But the betting and the
guessing are predominantly Republican.
