 Another one of these organs" which has spent three weeks in a futile effort to get up a Democratic Taft club, is compelled to admit that it is true that Bryan has a better chance in Maryland than he ever had" and then. in vein of despair, it proceeds to enumerate the req son why Bryan has this chance. The main reasons set forth are the compli- eated ballot, which ignorant negroes can not vote; the corrupt practices act which will prevent republicans from buying votes, and the absolute loyalty of the organization leaders"
 In all it is very difficult to figure out a republican victory in Maryland this year.

Receives Members of Railway Signal
 Association.

Washington, October 15.-President Roose- velt yesterday received the delegates to the convention of the Railway Signal association in session here. He ad- dressed them, in part, as follows:
 "One of the honors that I have espe- cially prized since l have been President was my membership in the Brotherhood of Locomotive Bremen; and while never have yet found any body of my fellow citizens all of whose wishes I could meet while was President, am bound to say that think I have come nearer being able to feel that I ought to do what you railroad men asked than any other one body that I have come in contact with while I have been President It has been a very great pleasure for me to work for you.
 T have felt that the railroad men of the country showed to a peculiar degree certain qualities that I prize in any citi- zen-the qualities of nerve, hardihood, of capacity to obey like that Skipping his hands together) and the capacity to take responsibility and assume command when necessary. I would give nothing for the man who can not obey when it is neces- sary and can not act on his responsibility and assume command when it is neces- sary. Both qualities are needed"

The Persians are nine in number and they will in the future direct the reVolu- tionary operations in Persia from Con stantinople. They have been driven out of TabrIz and forced to seek shelter on foreign soil.
 sThe government forces are getting the worst of it at Tabriz," continued Iftikhan- UI-Atebba Our forces. the nationahsts, are gaining the upper hand, and the pro- iected capture of Teheran and the assas- sination of the Shah ane only a question of time.
 ..l have full confidence in the future success of our revolutionary party Our p1 esent aim is to win over the government troops to our side The Shah's soldiers al- ready are discontented, because they are not getting their money. Our men are loyal and well paid. We have at present over 3OG0 good fighters, together with six pieces of artillery and sufficient ammunf- ton and provisions for some time to come
 I've have been almost uniformly sue cessful in cur recent engagements, and our men today are in high spirits over the capture at TsbIiz of sufficient quantities of arms and ammunition to equip an army of 5000. This war material was in a government arsenal that fell into our hands,
