COUNTS ON HERRICK
PRIVATE" DALZELL PREDICTS
REPUBLICAN SUCCESS.
Looks for 10000 Majority on State
Ticket and $4,000 for the
Legislature.

"Where so wise and prescient statesman
as Gen. Grosvenor is In doubt about the
result in Ohio, and declines to give the
figures, which he can usually give as well
before as any one else can after elections. 1t
may seem rash In one as humbly situated
as myself to venture a prediction-but
will" remarked Private Dalzell, who has
lust returned from Ohio to Star reporter
todsy
''Ohio will elect Herrick and republican
legislature-the former by 10000 and the
latter by 5000 majority. / base my fore
cast on facts recently learned from reliable
sources In Ohio. in which have depended
for information of the sort for half long
life. Things were bad. very bad. few
weeks ago. but have nightly and suddenly
changed for the better.
The bare fact or consideration that va
cancy may occur in the Senate providen-
TALLY has brought many of the recalcitrant
republicans to their sober senses. and they
arc fast falling in line fo rthat reason.
The Temperance Issue.
again the temperance people see the
eagerness of the democrats to press the
temperance issue to defeat Herrick, and all
thoughtful church people begin to see the
utter and laughable absurdity of flying to
the democrats for help in the temperance
cause A wilder or more foolish thought
was never coddled in any crazy BRAIN IL
is, besides. laughable.
Republicans are awaking to the reali-
zation of a pressing present danger to the
party's success in the next congressional
elections and ultimately as consequence
of the election also in 1908. These d.
visions and factions encouraged and fos-
tered by all democrats and some repuoii-
cans, are tending only to the division and
defeat of the party. Some see in these inter-
party Quarrels and contentious the sure
precursors of a repetition of the disasters
of 1884 and 1892, when the tricks ana
shams of the democrats about tariff, silver.
etc led our people into the wilderness ana
finally to ruin for the whole country.
Republicans Alarmed.
"This foolishness must STOP Republicans
begin to see the game the democrats and a
few tricky and unsafe politicians are play
ing to disrupt and defeat the party.
Alarmed by these dangers. the republicans
are getting together in Ohio, New York and
Pennsylvania, and the result will be a sur
prise.
ITO run republican campaign solely to
rebuke Cox is equally absurd, for in so do
ing this same small business would equally
rebuke Roosevelt, Foraker. Dick and Her
rick, than whom there are not four bishops
or good women in the country more devoted
to temperance-aU sober and religious men
OF the highest type.
"And all the talk about railroad rates
set going by factionists who desire the de-
feat of the party, and especially by the
democrats. while all right in itself. Is mere
ly a deeoy to split the party. divide Con-
gress and regain democratic ascendency. It
Is any old trick to beat us. First divide
our camp, then put US to the slaughter In
detail.
II admire the cunning of the democrats
In tanning the flames but I don't admire
the wisdom OF the would-bs temperance re-
formers in burning their own house TO get
rid of one old rat"
