Bryan Landslide, so PopuIists Say.

The following statement, over the sig
nature of j. A. Edgcrton. tho secretary,
has been given out by the Peoples Party
National Committees:
Bryan will be elected; he has lost none
of tho support he had i'm 1876, except a
few silver Republicans in tho mountain
States. OF these there will not bo enough
to effect IL single electoral vote. IIo will
hold his own west of the Mississippi
and will carry every state in that region
that he carried IN 1896, with the possible
exception of Wyoming.
The following States may be classcd
as certain to cast their electoral vote for
Bryan: Alabama, If; Arkansas, s; Colo
RADIO, 4; Florida, 4; Georgia, l3; Idaho,
3; Louisiana, s; Mississippi, 9; Missouri
II; Montana, ,; Nebraska, s; Nevada, 81;
North Carolina, ll South Carolina, 81;
Tennessee, u; Texas, 10; Utah, 3; Nir-
ginia, II. Total, 1913.
Added to these are the following States
that will probably cast their vote for
Bryan: Illinois, q; Indiana, 10; Kansas,
1O;, Kentucky, III. Maryland, $; South
Dakota, a; Washington, 1; West Nir-
ginia, g. Total, 81.
These, added to the l53 certain, give
237, or moro than majority in the clccto-
raj college.
Outside of these certain and probable
States are tho following doubtful Cali
fornia, 8; Connecticut, 6: Delaware, , /;
Michigan, ii; Minnesota, .; New Jersey,
10; New York, 3G; North Dakota, 3;
Ohio, %; Wisconsin, u; Wyoming, 3.
Total, l2S.
OF these, Minnesota, New York and
Ohio can all be clasScd as very uncertain
for tho Republican candidate; in fact,
were it not that Mckinley lives in Ohio,
tho State could be considered us almost
II certainty for Bryan.
n 1,, pa 1l
majorty of only Il little over f., 900, Wit,
practically break even in Cook county.
1t is now generally conceded that Bryan
will carry Cook county by good ma
jority. Twenty-Five thousand in Chicago
would give Bryan Illinois, provided the
rest of the State went as it did in 1898,
but there is every indication that we are
and that Chicago will give more than
this majority to the Democratic candi-
date.
The same condition which prevails in
Hi .ois also holds in Indiana, where
there is much smaller majority to over
come.
Kansas will 90 for Bryan by about the
same majority it gave him in 1896. The
Republicans arc making a hard fight
for that State, but they will fail. This
is a populistic year in Kansas.
Kentucky and Maryland arc practi-
callY sure for Bryan
In South Dakota our forces arc Splcn.
didly organized and are making tho best
fight ever made in the State. They are
confident of the result.
In Washington we will win with nearly
the same plurality as in 1896. The con
ditions which prevail in the other coast
States do not particularly AFFECT Wash
ington.
In West Virginia We are making gains
constantly. While Mckinley carried that
State by over 900 in 1896 the kcpubli-
can Congressional candidates only had
about 1900 in 1898. The same conditions
which will give us Kentucky and Mary
land will also land West Virginia for the
reform candidate.
Feelings of safety pcrvadc the house
hold that uses One Minute Cough Cure,
the only harmless remedy that produces
Immediate results, 1t is infallblc for
coughs, colds, Group and all throat and
lung troubles. 1t will prevent consump-
