Senator Jones spent part of yesterday
in the headquarters of the Democratic
congressional committee, chatting with
Chairman Richardson about the prospect
of party success Both are entirely con-
fident that the party will be in a ma
jority in the next house. Senator Jones
declared that this much is practically

EFFECT OF THE STRIKE
While Senator Jones is not disposed to
talk about the coal miners strike In Penn
sylvania from the standpoint Of politics.
he says it will certainly not hurt. if it
does not materially advance, Democratic

Il do not like to talk about the strike,
and link it with the campaign in any
manner" said the senator. 'et have read

corning it, and am convinced that the
demands of the miners are reasonable
They appear to have been treated like
serfs. Some of my friends from Penn
sylvania have suggested that the strike
may cost that state to the Republican
party. They know better than I do what
they are talking about, and I am dis
posed to believe them.
THE Democrats all over the country"
said he, 'are working tremendously and
the outlook is good. There are no faction
al fights over the electoral ticket. Even
In Montana. where there is a division in
the Democratic forces over state ma tiers,
and l could not tell whether one faction
or the other will win, l appealed to the
leaders some time ago not to allow Mr..
Bryan's interests to suffer. The Demo-
cratic leaders in Montana on both sides
assured me that whatever the local stu
alton might be, there would be no di-
vision among them in national matters"
1.-THE situation in New York is working
out satisfactorily" the senator was ask

carry the state. MIR. Croker has said
that the Democrats would have a ma
jority of 100000 in New York city 1 have
heard him make that statement recently
He has wagered 100000 that Mr.. Bryan
will be elected"
PROSPECTS IN THE WEST.
OF the prospects In the Western states
Senator Jones speaks confidently. He
says he is pleased with developments in
Indiana, while in Illinois the Democrats
are working earnestly and aggressively.
The senator spoke of the demonstra-
ton in Chicago on Labor day in favor of
the different candidates, and detailed
some of the incidents that were told him
by truthful eye-witnesses. cat one place
certainly along the route said the SEN
ator, ''shouters were stationed for Gov
Roosevelt. When he came along they
exclaimed: Three cheers for Teddy
and What's the matter with Gov. Roose-
velt?' There was almost no response from
the crowds.
During the speaking Judge Yates, the
Republican candidate for governor, and
Mr.. A1schuler, our candidate for COVER
nor of Illinois, were both cordially re-
ceived, as was Mr.. Bryan. But it was
entirely different with Gov Roosevelt.
Some one in the audience shouted, Stop
in the midst Of his speech, and many 9TH
ers Joined In: oh, won't you ever get
through The audience was impatient
with him, as some thought, to the point
of rudeness
THINKS BRYAN WILL CARRY WIS
"And yet, the next morning" added
the senator, when 1 bought both the
Republican and Democratic papers. as I
always do, I found that Gov. Roosevelt.
as well as Mr.. Bryan, was credited with
receiving great applause from the audi
ence of laboring men,.
Senator Jones spoke as though he
doubted any benefit to the Republicans
from Gov. Roosevelt's trip through the
West.
'What are your advices from WILSON,
sin?''
1.-THE Democrats have nominated a
very strong ticket there, and it is re-
ceiving the united support of the party,
The Republicans are not enthusiastic
many of their leaders are not In accord
with the ticket The present governor
Mr.. Scofield, has said that he will not
support the candidates of his party. and
l have heard that he will vote with the
Democrats, but do not know as to that.
We ought to win easily in Wisconsin"
