You might travel through all foreign

GOV. DocKrRY PREDICTS
DEMOCRATIC LANDSLIDE,
Five Weeks With the Voters Con-
vinces Him That the Whole
Ticket will Be Elected by
Big Majority.

Governor Dockery arrived 10 Mex
leo Tuesday morning, having been en-
gagged in the campaign for the list
five weeks, generally speaking twice
aday. He was asked as to the politi-
cal conditions, both State and nation
al, and said;
81 have visited q large number Of
counties since / entered the campaign,
on the It'll OF last month. These yisi-
tations have included Democratic
counties Of heavy majorities, close
counties and a few Republican coun-
ties. The conditions OF this campaign
are somewhat anomalous. IL was a
matter OF some difficulty for a time to
reach a definite conclusion as to the
drift OF public sentiment, 1t now
looks like a Democratic landslide
sTnc apathy prevailing in Republic
can states, the business depression In
the eastern states, together with the
disturbed labor conditions present, as
l see It, n situation very much like the
campaign Of 1892. II the expression
OF the people OF Missouri indicates the
opinion prevailing elsewhere. Parker
will be elected.
"Three weeks ago II was difficult TO
find q Democrat who thought national
success probable. There seems to be
q complete change in public senti-
ment. At this time Democrats are
hopeful, and the information that
comes to US from other states is most
encouraging. I believe Parker is as
certain Of success in New York as he
Is In Missouri. Obviously, there has
been achange in his favor in Indiana.
The indications in all the doubtful
states are favorable to Democracy. l
think, therefore, that 1t is altogether
probable that Judge Parker will be
elected by q decided majority OF the
Electoral College.
1.-THE House of Representatives, Is
usually In political accord with the
presidency, and, while we may secure
control Of this body, even though the
presidency should be lost, it is almost
certain that Parker's election will be
accompanied by Democratic control
Of the House Of Representatives.
can my meetings have been largely
attended, with n exception, and
most OF them have been quite enthus-
iastic. am now convinced, after a
careful investigation Of the political
situation in the counties visited by
me, and reports from other counties,
that the Democratic State ticket will
be elected by a sweeping majority.
The majority will, OF course, depend
10 large part upon the heavy Demo
cratic counties.
ST there should be any considerable
sstay-at-home vote 1t will reduce the
majority for the State ticket. My i'm
pressions, however, are that there will
be a general turnout Of the Democrat
10 voters. Unusual efforts Are being
made TO accomplish this result. The
soreness which, for a time, existed in
some local. ties, as a result Of the con.
test for the Democratic nomination
for governor, has already substantially
disappear red. The Democratic voters
are lining up for the ticket, and IL the
Republicans are relying upon Demo
cratic dissatisfaction to reduce the
majorities, either for Joe Folk or Sam
Cook, they are resting their hopes up.

CLOSE FIGURES.

Everybody has begun to figure
on the result of the election. How
will the doubtful states go? Who
will carry Indiana, or Illinois, or
Connecticut, or New York? These
are questions which every one is
answering to his own satisfaction.
In our opinion, 1T will either be a
Democratic landslide or Demo
cratic defeat.
There are 476 electoral votes,
so 800 will be necessary to elect a
president. Here is a Democratic
estimate that is close figuring:
Delaware 3. Maryland s, West
Virginia 7, Virginia II, North
Carolina y, South Carolina 9,
Georgia 10, Florida 5, Alabama II,
Mississippi 10, Louisiana 8, Texas
IS, Arkansas 8, Tennessee 70,
Kentucky 10, Missouri Is, Con.
necticut 6, New York 80, New
Jersey -, Indiana IS. Total 24l.
Majority 2.-Brunswick Journal.
Yes, too close to be com1orta-
BILE. The only possible chance for
the Democrats to be victorious is
for the Republicans to vote the
Democratic ticket because they
distrust Roosevelt. 1t is hardly
probable that Indiana will vote
against Fairbanks, her own son.
The Democrats have e fighting
chance, but it is very slim one.

STORIES OF JUDGE PARKER.

Parker stories are scarce, says
sthe Cleveland Plain Dealer. There
is no public man about whom few
er anecdotes are told. This is due
largely to his reserved life and
reticence, although no one loves a
good joke or story better.
One is related at the Judges ex-
pense. A very able New York at
torney, who was quite deaf and
very sensitive, was arguing case
before the Court of Appeals. He
dwelt at length upon fundamen-
tai law principle. Finally Judge
Parker interrupted:
1t would seem, Brother,
that you infer that this court is
not we'll versed in this elementary
law point"
The attorney didn't catch what
was said, but he made it rule to
agree always with what the court
said. So, smiling and bowilg, he
said:
Precisely, your honor, precise
ly. You have stated the PROPOSE
ton correctly"
The court laughed, Judge Parker
smiled and the lawyer continued
his argument.

WHAT THE YOUNG MAN EXPECTS.

The Austin Statesman, solicit
ons for the young man, sounds
this warning:
"Of course she must be pretty,
with soft, mellow eyes mot ripe)
and form that would put to
shame the graces of q Venus: Her
voice should be as low as the COO
ing of dove, and her hair must
be--oh we'll, any old color, just so
it's her own. When she dances
her dainty feet should caress the
floor only ia the elevated points,
and when she sings, mocking birds
ought to stop their carols and lis
ten. That's the kind of gir.- you
ought to marry, but oh, young
man be sure that these are not
her only recommendations. Above
all things, fiEd out before propos-
ing whether or not her mother gets
up and cooks breakfast every morn
ing while your angel is snugly
tucked in bed, running the chro-
matte scale in a nasal solo just
loud enough to gently jar the glass
IN the windows. Beauty is always
an admirable qualification, but
after the counting is done. after
the parson has finished, after the
people have gone, you'll find that
