More Than Satisfied.
II am more than satisfied with con
ditions as they appear to be at this
time. Not in eight years have
known republicans to be so united OF
so active and enthusiastic. From al
most every county and every precinct
come words OF cheer and encourag
ment. At every available point repub'
lican clubs have formed, a large part
of their membership being made up
of ardent young republicans who are
about to cast their first vote. Head
quarters for the distribution of cam
paign literature and republican news
papers have also been established in
almost every precinct. Never before
has there been such a universal de-
mand for documents bearing upon
/ campaign issues, as well as for candi-
| dates buttons, Autographs and cam
paign emblems. Republican meetings
have everywhere been crowded and
have been characterized by an intense
interest in the questions at issue.
D%isappoints His Opponents.
William Lindsay has disappointed
his opponents in that he has i'm
pressed all his hearers with his earn
estness and sincerity. The impression
he leaves everywhere is that of an un-
pretentious yet strong and rugged
character; honest in every fibre, a
man fully informed upon all matters
relating to the state government; pos
sessed of a keen sense of justice and
a set purpose to protect every citizen
in his rights, if elected governor. So
earnest, straightforward and manly
have been Mr.. L%indsay's %utterances
upon all public questions that he has
won new friends upon every hand.
"The opinion entertained by some
at the outset of the campaign that
he would suffer in comparison with
his more snowy opponent is being
fast dissipated by his common sense
convincing speeches and by the uni
versal belief in his loyalty to duty
and unassailable integrity.
A Continuous Ovation.
Joseph M. Dixon's campaign has
been a continual ovation. The people
everywhere have turned out enmasse
to meet and greet this splendid
young champion of their interests in
the national congress. 1t is rare in.
deed that so young a man, in public
life, has in such brief time so en-
deared himself to the people of his
state. That he will be reelected by
an overwhelming majority is beyond
question.

the high Office of chief justice and his
spotless character, coupled with the
unimpeachable record he has already
made in that responsible position, are
appreciated by the great body of the
people, and the high character and

Popularity of Roosevelt.
1.-THE great enthusiasm which
greets every mention of President
Roosevelt's name attests his wonder
full popularity and shows clearly the
trend of public sentiment. A careful
inquiry shows that there is scarcely
a precinct in the state which does |
not contain a number of democrats
who have openly proclaimed their in
tention of voting for him, while upon
