SOME INTERESTING FIGURES.

Enthusiastic Democrats are deriving
considerable pleasure in figuring over
the recent Democratic gain in Maine.
The returns show a Democratic gain
of 80 per cent. and Republican gain
of Is per cent. over the vote of 1902.
Similar changes elsewhere would give
New York to Parker by a plurality of
$1,000, New Jersey by 5000. Rhode
Island by 5000. Maryland by $4,000,
Nebraska by 5000 and Utah by 800.
These, with the States carried by
Bryan in 1900. would be exactly enough
to elect. In addition. Delaware, West
Virginia and Indiana would be in
doubt If these percentages of gain
were to prevail.

CHOOSE FOR YOURSELF

In a piece of literature now being
disseminated by the National Demo
cratic Committee two widely different
word pictures are presented, giving
estimates of the general makeup Of
the two Presidential candidates.
With the suggestion in bold type:
LOOK HERE, UPON THIS
PICTURE"
the document quotes from ex-Gov-
ernor Blacks speech nominating Mr..
Roosevelt at the Republican conven-
ton, June %, 1904:
Men may prophesy and women
pray. but peace will come here to
abide forever on this earth only when
the dreams of childhood are the ac-
cepted charts to guide the destinies Of
men. Events are numberless and
mighty. and no one can tell which wire
runs around the world. The nation
basking to-day in the quiet of content
ment and repose may still be on the
deadly circuit, and tomorrow writing
in the tolls of war. Only the
man with steady eye and nerve and
the courage to pull the trigger brings
the largest opportunities to the
ground"
This is followed by "Roosevelt's En-
dorsement," from the New York Times,
May 20, 1904, as follows: Washing
ton. May 19.-The speech which Mr..
Root is to make as temporary chair
man, the speech which Ex-Governor
Black is to make in placing the Presi-
dent in nomination. and the various
planks of the platform. which is to be
shaped by Senator Lodge, all have
been considered and disposed of to the
satisfaction Of the President and his
advisers"
Taking a flashing glimpse at Judge
Parker, and with special reference to
the suggestion to Look here. upon this
picture" on the other side, the re-
verse suggests:
AND ON THIS,"
the document quotes from the speech
of Hon. Martin w. Littleton, nominal
ing Judge Parker, before Democratic
Convention, July s, 1904:
''The country called upon New York
for a man to fit this, the critical hour
and place in our national life, and New
York answers with a man who pufs
against the strenuous sword play of
a staggering administration. simple
faith in all the perfect power of the
Constitution: a man who puts against
executive usurpation a knowledge Of
and a deep love for the poise and bal
ance of its three great powers: a
man who puts against the stealthy
hunt with the big stick faithful OBJ
servance of constitutional restraints"
This is followed by Judge Parker's
Endorsement" from his speech of ac-
ceptance. Aug. 10. 1904:
THE most efficient work we can do
in uplifting the people of other coun-
tries is by the presentation of hap
by, prosperous. self-governing nation
as an ideal to be emulated, a model to
be followed. The general occupation
of our citizens in the arts of peace. or
the absence of large military arma-
ments. tends to impair neither patriot
ism nor physical courage"
