The Presidential Contest and the
Democratic Vote Of Vermont.

The vote of Vermont at the conf
ing presidential election will be cast
ON September 6, and as the state
which leads off in the contest it's vote
is watched with very much interest,"
When Vermont casts an especially
large majority for the Republicans,
the Grand Old Party gives shout
and halls the result as sure omen
of victory. We hear that considera-
BILE money and a good many spell
binders will be sent here. And it
behoove. the Democracy to do some
thing on its side a slump in the
Roosevelt vote would greatly and
Justly encourage the belief in the
coming Parker landslide which is
predicted by Chairman Taggart.
The vote of Vermont in the last
six presidential elections was as fol-
lows:
1900 Bryan, 12,S40
Mckinley 40 ,56S Plurality .27.7I9
Prohib..... 1863
1896 Bryan .lo,es7 -.
Mckinley. 1877 Plurality.. "a, 400

1892 Cleveland. 16. 1913

Prohib 80. l 400
1884 Cleveland 1881 Plurality. -. %, 1888
Harrison. As, 1872
Prohib. and
Others. 1887
In the three elections of ~, 70
and so the Republican majority was
over II 900. AS will be seen by
these figures, when Cleveland was
elected the Vermont Republican ma
iority has been cut down to 81 900
or $4,000. In 1896, however, when
Bryan made his best running and
pollcd six and Il half million of votes
to Mckinley's seven million, the Re-
publican plurality was 4O,WN, while
in 1900, when Bryan fell off some
what, the Vermont plurality fell to
29,0Oo This was in good part due
to the apathy of the Democracy for
Bryan. In neither contest did he
bring out more than 10000 or l2,-
GOO Democrats, whereas Cleveland
brought out over sixteen thousand.
We have now the conditions of
united party such as existed with
Cleveland, and it is for the Democ-
racy OF the state to take advantage
of it and poll their full vote, which
should be at least 1000. The Re-
publicans will have to poll nearly
10000 to beat this in a way to give
them confidence. We doubt if they
can do it, if the Democracy will do a
little earnest educational work among
the Green Mountain boys.

COFFIN HIS PULPIT.
Grim Setting Given the Sermons of
 Salvation Army Captain.

From the London Express.
 There may be as many sermons in cof- fins as there are in stones but the oppor- tunity does not often occur of. listen- ing to one. To say the least, discourse upon death from a man in his own cof- fin Is exceptional.
 It was in connection with his novel mo- tor tour now rapidly coming to a close, that General Booth made the personal ac- ouaintanee of Capt. B. George Rich, who, as the officer in charge at Burnley, in Lancashire, was the organizer of the splendid demonstration of welcome which the veteran gospelier received during his journey among the Pennine mountains.
 Captain Rich confesses, however, that upon the first occasion on which he en- tered his novel pulpit curious ghostly sensation passed through his whole body For some months he had pondered over the best means of attracting crowds, and thus. in his words, securing converts by giving them the Gospel, for you can not do so unless you can get them in"
 When the idea of the coffin occurred to him he felt his soul kindled by an i'm describable excitement, and an enthus- issm for tho success of his term in Burn- ley which cannot perhaps be fully con-

DISCREPANCY
 IN THE STATEMENT
BANK STATEMENT SHOWS GAIN OF $3,535,8 300 IN THE CURRENCY MOVEMENT FOR THE WEEK, CONTRARY TO PREDICTIONS.

New York October 22.-The Financier this week says:
 The feature of the offlcal statement of the New York Associated banks last week was the remarkable discrepancy between the current movement as re- ported in the statement, and that which was estimated on the basis of the trace able changes in this item during the week, the offlcal return showing a gain of S3535,S00 while the estimates indicated a loss of $295.3OO.
 Inasmuch as in the previous week there was quite as remarkable a discrepancy between the officially reported and the estimated movement of cash, it seems probable that the discrepancy last week Twas due to the adjustment of averages in the cash item, a large part of the gain in the previous week being brought over into last week.
 It also appears likely that the remarka- ply large increase last week was due to 1nrecorded movements of money hither from the interior or to the absence of withdrawals of funds by institutions in the neighhoring cities, because of the op- portunities which were offered patrons of these banks for speculation in the booming stock market. Deposits were increased last week by $6'559OOO as the

COLUMBUS, GA, HAS
 A DOUBLE KILLING
Negro Kills Negro Woman and Officer Palmer Shoots the
 Murderer.

Columbus, Ga, October 22.-There was double killing here today, and Officer Frank Reese was seriously wounded. Geo. Teal, negro killed negro woman named Anna Coleman in A house on Dark Alley and made his escape to his own home about nine miles north of the city.
 Detective James Palmer and Officer Frank Reese went in pursuit and caught Teal in a few minutes after he had reached his home. Teal had the doors barricaded and was on guard inside with a double-barreled shotgun. When the officers forced an entrance, he shot off, cer Reese in the hand and arm, inficting painful wounds Immediately after the ne- gro shot Reese, Palmer drew his pistol and shot Teal in the breast three times, killing him instantly. Officer Reese was brought to the city and placed under the care of physicians.

Republicans Claim Everything.

The republicans today as usual are claiming the earth and all the fullness thereof It Is their habit. They are so accustomed to 1t that they do it without thinking. They think it a wise policy to do this and intimidate the opposition, al- ready timid by long defeat. The fact is, neither side has figures accurate enough to do any loud talking. The conditions are so peculiar, the campaign so quiet
 and the people apparently so indifferent
 that it would take a wise politician to calculate the vote. This much is certain: Roosevelt started out ahead on the rail,
 but Parker is coming. He Is gaining every day. The odds on Roosevelt in the betting have been as much as to 1, but by election day no such ridiculous political betting will be in vogue.
 It is strange that republicans are loudly claiming states, in which they concede
 that democratic governors will be elect ed. In New York for instance, nearly
 every one republican and democrat alike,
 agree that Herrick will carry the state
 by 50,000. If he does, he will be making a record on the previous votes he received in the Empire State. The democrats be- lieve that when the republicans scratch Higgins on the ticket most of them will go the whole length and vote for Par lSer. They are mad enough at Odell to lay down on the whole outfit from Pres ident down.
 The same conditions prevail in West Virginia It Is conceded that the demo- cratic candidate for governor will be
 elected, yet the republicans are counting
 on carrying the state. Likewise fin Wis consin where the republicans have two state tickets in the field, George W. Peck
 tho democratic nominee, is likely to be elected.

ceived. These emotions overcame con alterations of public amazement and con ventionality, and at length he went reso- lutely to an undertaken.
 "Can I see MT. -?'' asked Captain Rich of the old man who came into the shop The gray-haired attendant was Mr. -'s father. and, though all sorts of people had visited the premises on melancholy errands from time to time he was a little curious to know what a Salvation Army captain could want with his son-a curiosity which was to quick ly turn to alarm.
 He explained that his son was out. Could he be of service?
 "I want to be measured for a coffin," said Mir Rich.
 The old man looked at him for a mo- ment Then, apparently thinking he had misunderstood him, asked, Dun yo want it for yer missis?''
 ''No, I want it for myself"
 For yourself?"
 The captain saw that he had been taken for madman, and gave a detailed ex- planation. His coffin sermons have proved a great success.

The southern states are today prosper ous The southern merchants are buy ing largely of northern and eastern mer- chants. The northern merchants appre- ciate the value of this trade. They like wise know that they are large contribu- tors to the republican campaign fund. When the attempt is made to reduce the souths congressional representation the southern merchants can appeal directly to the northern firms, with which they trade and demand that they hold their creature the President, in check They can even make a few threats about busi- ness that will cause the northern inter ests to get busy at the White House. They have big stick in the shape of large rolls of the long green, with which they can hammer Roosevelt into sub mission

ROOSEVELT ID BE SEVERE ON SOUTH His Election Means Some Se-
 rious Disturbances COR MANS PREDICTIONS crumpacker Has Already Stated That If Roosevelt Is Elected He Will
 Try to Reduce Southern
 Representation.
BY PATTERSON sTEALEY.

Washington. october 22-(Special)-lt is very generally conceded that II Roose- welt is elected President he will be espe- cially severe on the south during the four years of his administration. His past record towards that part of the country may be taken as a mild indica- tion of what he will do in the future should victory come his way. His per sistent reappointments of the negro Crum to be collector at Charleston after the nomination had been repeatedly turned down by the senate shows his persistence in the idea that negroes should hold of- fees in the south rather than in the north because in the north there have been very few negroes appointed to office.
 His attitude on the race question has naturally brought down on him the most severe criticism by southern people. Roosevelt resents this and he will try to get even. If he is elected 1t is ex- pected on every hand here that he will try to carry out Roosevelt policies in- stead of the policies of the republican party. He will attempt to impress his ideas on the people, Already chaffing at being muzzled and tied to his kennel by the leaders of his party during the campaign he will be ready after the elec- tion to cut loose his rough-riderism and run rough-shod over everything
 crumpacker Is Active.
 Representative Crumpacker of Indiana has already made statement that if the republican party Is successful at the polls in November, he will make an attempt to have an extra session of congress called to cut down the representation Of the south in congress, which means re- duetion of the number of electoral votes in the south. It cannot be doubted that Roosevelt is in favor of reducing the south's representation. The question IS: win he be able to do 1t?
 Such an attempt will likely be thwarted for at least two reasons. If the mater is brought up In congress, 1t will re- open the race question and with 1t the old wounds of the civil war. The best ele- ment among the republicans in congress do not desire that such a calamity should occur. Whenever the matter is preached in the senate the leading republicans try to turn it off pleasantly and avoid any bitter discussion. It is likely that they would make an effort to dissuade the President from such a course. But Roose= welt will not stay muzzled all the time and perhaps this influence would not be sufficient to accomplish the purpose. But there is another. and perhaps an infiu- ence that has not been taken into consid- eration as yet by Crumpacker and his fol- lowers. This is the business interest of the north and east that is closely identi- fled with that of the south.

German Rarely Talks.

Senator Arthur Pue German of Mary land rarely ever talks for publication. He is Sphynx in politics, and wise at that. the senator is now, however, quoted in what appears to be an authentic state ment. He says:
 "lt Is a remarkable campaign in many ways. It is quiet everywhere. there is no excitement and very little talking. Yet the registration in every state in the Union is greater than it has ever been before in any national election. I have
