business towns in Michigan, Illinois
and Minnesota.
While visiting his store at 1shpem-

"Judicious advertising is as essen

"There is advertising and advertis-

what certain advertisement produces

is a positive certainty concerning the

1t is asserted at Democratic mead
quarters that these claims are in NO
sense exsravagant, but they are basel
on confidential and conservative re-
ports from Democratic managers III
the doubtful states, these in turn
finding their warrant in complete
llouse-to-house polls of the voters in
all parts of the several states.
It will be seen from this table that
the Democrats could spare thirty,eight
electoral votes and still carry the
country. They cannot spare New York
from this list, because she has jus'
one more vote than that thirty-ei@h1.
and one too many votes would be ia
tai hut they could spare Wisconsi'
and West Virginia and Washington
with as many additional votes from
the other doubtful states as would
foot up thirteen, and still be safe.
All this looks exceedingly we'll. The
andependent newspapers generally
.cnncede that the Democratic CAM
,.;or has taken on a decidedly more
hopeful aspect within the past week
n ten days, and the Democratic man,
.eers take this as convincing evl-
aorce that the tide has turned and
1,cmocratic victory is in the air.
