BRYAN to the Workinxmen.

BRYAN shows that he has thorough
understanding of the wants and de-
sires of the working people. He be-
lieves that they want more than full
dinner pail to make them content.
The following extract from his Mil
waukee address is the best answer to
the republican policy toward wage
workers:
eff the laboring man says he does
not like the menace of a large army,
says that he does not like imperial
ism, what is the republicans answer
to him? 1t is not the gold standard,
but the full dinner pail. If a man
says i have ideas in my heart, the
republican party says what do you
talk about your heart for if your
stomach is full?'
~ want to ask you laboring men if
it is not an insult to the good sense of
the laboring man to say that Just as
long as he has enough to eat he never
thinks about anything? The man
that says that drags the laboring man
down to the level OF the brute. 1t is
the brute that complains when it is
hungry and sleeps when it is full.
The full dinner pail argument is an
insult to the man who is complaining
that there are forces at work which
mean his destruction and the over
throw of the government he loves.
But, my friends, the trouble is that
the dinner pail is not always full
Sirs, under the industrial despotism
that the republican party is forcing
on the United States the men who own
the labor of the rest are not under any
obligation to see that they have either
food or clothing"
In strong contrast to the republican
seltishness and Indifference to the well
fare of the working people is Bryan's
assurance in his letter of acceptance
that if elected he will carry out the
recommendation of the democratic
platform for department of labor,
whose head shall be a cabinet officer.
After showing the right which labor
has to this participation in the affairs
of government, MIR. Bryan says: IA
cabinet officer truly representative OF
the wage-earning class would be of in
valuable aid not only to the toilers,
but to the president.
When has labor heard the republi-
can party asking it to share in the
councils of government?

Bryan,s Election a Certainty.

There is no room for doubt that
William Jennings Bryan will be the
next president of the republic of the
United States. Already there has
been great stampede of patriots who
have left the republican party and
have joined hands with democracy,
thus asserting themselves opponents
of liberty, and as citizens of this re-
public who desire to maintain the re-
public. The New York World gives
the following facts about the electoral
college. which shows how simple vic
tory will be:
-Four years ago Mr.. McKinley's
majority in the electoral college was
So. If MIR. Bryan can keep the 176
votes cast for him then, only As
more are necessary to secure his cleo
ton.
delaware has 3, MARYLAND 8, West
Virginia 6. Kentucky 12-a total of
29 votes from old democratic states
which, prior to 1896. had never in 20
years gone republican and which
should return to the democratic col
umn this year.
This would leave only 10 more
votes necessary.
Indiana, which has Is, was COM
paratively close state in 1896. 1t has
regularly seesawed from democratic
to republican and back for % vaars,
and is due to return to the democratic
column this year; so that the demo-
Gratis are hopeful of carrying it for
Mr.. BI : All. as they did for Tilden and
twice for Cleveland.
This would leave only four votes
necessary.
"A democratic plurality in any one
of the five middle states-Ohio. Illi-
nois, Michigan, Minnesota and Wis
consin-would more than supply the
deficiency. A change of less than
4, 200 votes would have carried Ohio
was so close that Cleveland actually
received one of it's electoral votes, and
in that year Wisconsin and Illi-
nois both went for Cleveland.
In Michigan the republicans are
to have special points of
weakness, notably the detection of
Gov. Pingree, the presence of
20, 600 Hollanders in this state and
the corruption and offensive rule of
the corporations.
The fusionists in Minnesota elect
ed Gov. Lind in 1898 by a plur-
atty of 10000 over his republican
opponent.
ANY one of these states would
supply not only the four votes neces-
sary on this basis, but would also give |
Mr.. Bryan surplus varying from five |
to 20 to Offset any loss he might sus-
tain in the states he carried in 1896"

FINE RACING ENDS
THE DAVENPORT MEET.

The races at the Davenport Mile
track yesterday afternoon drew 2 900
spectators and wiped out the deficit
that stared the trotting association in
the face as the result of q rain last
week. Two roadster races. entries
limited to Davenport, Rock Island
and Moline, would have done credit
to most of the campaigners. Capt.
tola, Oh. NJ. by Ira Wilkes, owned by
Henry bunker, Jr., Davenport, won
the pacing in three straight heats.
The time was 2:25!. 1928 and 2:2S4

tri-city trot in 2:S0. 2:34 and 1914.
She is 20 years old.t
A free-for-all pace lasted five heats.
Partitude won the fastest one, and
in the other heats seemed to need a
new driver. which would probably
have been put up any day but Sun
day. The summary of the race was:
Admiral Dewey, g. G.. by Judge

Saturday Nonamie won the unfn-
ished 2:20 pace in straight heats, her
best time being 2:134. The unfn-
ished Pill pace was won by Emmett

cision, and the best time being 2:10f.

of the New York outlook as much
brighter for Bryan. and of the demo-
Gratis there generally as having the
best OF the situation. The same pa
per alse describes the ugly mood in
which Mark Hanna returned to Ohio
from Chicago. and gives an interview
with him the burden OF which is per-
sonnl abuse of Bryan. The big boss
denies that he ever indicated a desire
to challenge Bryan to n joint debate.
