OUTLOOK EARLY
IN OCTOBER
Some Phases and FancieS of
the Presidential
Battle.
BY Ernest G. Walker.
(Mail Special to the Advertiser.)


CHICAGO, October 5.-A great po
Etical battle is in progress in this
western field. 1t is surging back and
forth across three or four prairie
States with large totals in the electoral
college. 1t is involving smaller States,
with fewer votes, which, it is possible,
may bring up their little armies of Re
pubhcans and Democrats and decide
who is 70 win the day.
The struggle has been far from de-
cisive to date. The real hard fighting
has only begun. 1t will be continued
through October, for both sides are pre-
pairing for operations of very deter
mined and comprehensive character
right up to election day. Bryan has
completed a preliminary campaign of
about thirty days duration. He worked
while the Republicans were doing prac-
tically nothing. Their National Com
mittee was at work to little purpose.
1t is gradually dawning upon the party
that the campaign managers were put
tering around at useless things; that
they were not grasping the Importance
of the tasks at hand, and that the Re-
publican interests of the campaign
were slipping to the bowwows.
With his preliminary campaign closed
before the Republicans have hardly
Weakened up, Bryan has moved back to
Lincoln for rest and for preparations
for the final movements. He has gained
an important advantage. At the be-
ginning of October he finds his fences
in pretty good shape. His hopes for
winning the Presidency, whatever they
may be, are far brighter than when the
Denver convention adjourned, far bet
ter than they were the first of Septem-
Der; whether better than they were the
middle of September is open to ques-
tion.

States Invaded by Taft.

For the Republicans in Ohio, in In
diana, in Illinois, and so ON across to-
ward the Rockies have begun to take
notice. There has been an active
speaking propaganda. First of all,
Nominee "Big Bill" Taft has invaded
most of these states and given speeches
that have served as the keynotes for
the state and local orators. A big at
tack has been made upon Bryan all
along the line. He has been character
lied as insincere, as having changed
his issues for the sake of making votes,
as being incapable, except at making
speeches, and as far inferior in execu-
tive ability to his Republican opponent.
Then his election is pronounced by the
orators as certain to bring hard times.
Many people out in this section are
impressed by this kind of argument.
If it is not winning Democratic votes,
it is doing something toward keeping
Republicans from going over to Bryan.
Furthermore, Nominee Taft has beeen |
sounding keynotes about the labor op-
position to him. And it is still true
that the labor vote will be the big fac
tor in the campaign. Unless something
is done to check the labor trend,
Bryan IS election might not be an i'm
possibility. Mr.. Taft has been point
ing out that he is not the enemy of
labor, and that some of his decisions
upon the bench have been of great
help to labor unions. This fact has
been and is being dinned into the ears
of laborers, and is having some effect.
At least it is giving the friends of
Mr.. Taft among the labor organizations
an argument and something to talk
back with.
1t is about all the ammunition there
has been to date with which to fight

Thrilled at the Very Thought.

Folks out this way are picturing to
themselves how the special train with
the President and Taft aboard would
look wheeling around the circuit. The
very thought of it thrills the average
westeTner with enthusiasm. Some
nights ago Son-in-L Law Nicholas Long
worth made speech, calling upon the
voters to elect Taft for four years and
then reflect him for four years more
at the end of which time Mr.. Roosevelt
would be ready to come back into the
Presidency And the West generally
seems to like that suggestion Probably
it viii add some strength to Taft when
so many people arrange it in their
minds that they are only electing Taft
for an interim and that they are going
to have their Teddy back again after a
while.
Next TO the President and Taft. Gov
ernor Hughes is the man the western
ers want to hear in this campaign.
His appearance in western state after
western state has aroused great inter
est. He has large meetings and de-
livers telling arguments. The popular
ity with which he is received has been
striking. when it is remembered that
his presidential candidacy commanded
practically no support whatever west

A LESSON rr ADVERTISING.

The New York Herald. quoting {,
manager OF the toilet department OF a
large department store. gives c little
illustration of the value OF advertising.
The manager said that his department
handled six different makes of ce-.
tain toilet article. They were all Sd
near alikelin quality that the shrewl-
est expert could not tell the difference
between them. Yet the firm sells as
much OF one of the brands rs 1t does
OF all the others. The only explanation
the manager said that he could offe:'
was that the manufacturer OF the pop
uiar brand was continually advertising
1t. Some OF the others were a1ver-
fised in n desiIltory way, and one or
two fairly extensively. and one not at
all. but the man who kept ut it day
and night did the business His goods
sold fnster than the Others simply be-
cause more people knew of them.
The experience of the toilet article
manufacturers IS repeated by the
manufacturers and sellers OF every
other kind of article TINT people buy.

AN ACCURATE RECORD.

Since the election OF district dele
gates and delegates-at-large to. the Re-
publican National convention began
one OF the largest OF the eastern DALI
les has kept en- accurate account AMI
has published once n week an exact
tabulation of the men chosen. These
figures are most interesting. bearing
little resemblance to the speculative
forecasts which have been supplied
to the press in the interest Of this or
that candidate for the nomination for
:he Presidency. They are simply u
record OF every instance in which
instructions have been given to dele
gate. and of the several cases In
which delegates not instructed hav:
explicitly made known their inten-
lions. These published facts are COM
Ing That the choice of the Republican
convention for President Of the United
States Is now determined. that the
nomination OF Mr.. Taft is the will OF
the people. Mr.. Taft could enter the
convention to-day with not fewer than
$40 votes olt OF $50, majority that
would secure his nomination on the
first ballot. and as the tide is setting
so strongly In his favor his majority Is
likely to increase by the natural pro.
cess OF sccretion beyond the dimen-
sions now clearly 1tscernible.

THE MODERN PIANO.

The modern piano Is n marvel OF
constructive skill. An expert of the
Forest Service has figured ont the
various kinds of wood used In its man.
ufacture. and declares that just as
many sfec!es are represented In the
rarlor grand rs are used in building
an ocean steamship. Piano manufac.
tnrers draw on the worlds forests for
their material.
The life OF. n piano-the sounding
boards invariably spruce: the
frame, which holds the strings taut
and must endure the strain of tons. is
always of elm: the visible beauty OF
the exterior comes from veneering of
any OF the costly woods such rs ma.
hngany, walnut. rosewood. oak. or ash.
which hides the less beautiful but nee.
essary yellow poplar. The action.
with its innumcrable levers, bridges.
hammers. backstops. and shanks mus
be OF maple and cellar.
Excepting the finest quality OF. for
eIsn woods. brought In for the veneer.
the Forest Service declares that the
United States can furnish every other
necessary wood.

sMINERs WELL PAID.

tsinted by weekly publication OF
national promfnenee pretends to deal
With the condition of the bituminous
miner. his wife and family. and the
poverty with which he is pictured as
4 being surrounded. An erroneous i'm.
preston IS widespread regarding the
condition OF the miner, and articles
published $in periodicals OF wide cir
cnlation; written by persons who are
not Informed of the true conditions OF
things In the coal fields, are in large
measure responsible for this wrong
tmpresion. During; these days there
S. an Opportunity for the industrious
miner OF bituminous goal to accumu.
latetenouEhGfr from his labor to keep the
wolf from the door as the sun goes
down on the latter part of his life.
and &c lis a fact that tire are many

Of coal miners in the Central Penn
sylyania fbituminous coal fields who
make from $50 to s1o5 per month, II
they have an average of four days a
week work. In most cases the living
eInenses OF the miners are insight
ieant and 1T 4 Is often III case that
while the miner Is digging living from
the bowels of the earth. he can find g
3 little spot on the surface which
aids materially in reducing the ex-
penseE OF his living. There are few
Ihboring men who work as few hours
ass the miner OF coal. and earn as
much. and in almost every instance
where he has been unable to save

direct cause can be traced to intern

matter to find a man in any walk Of

One who has spent twenty-five
years In the coal fields can point out
menswho have first mortgages bring.
ling them interest. and need worry no
more for the future, because they have
been thrifty and saving. Some of
these older people have become citi-
zens Of the numerous towns that have
sprung up and grown large in the coal
fields, and others have acquired farms
that they are working proftably.
To be sure. there is another side to
the question. There are men who
n have spent a great many years in the
coal mines. and who have nothing to
show for their efforts. In most of
these instances the cause can be
found in the empty beer kegs that sur
round their .homes-money that could
have been applied to providing for

way that not only brought them phys
ical harm, but unified them for work
they had to do. The mining trade

land III the same industry and temper

5pther crafts.
But dthe writer who comes into the
Il coal field for an hour or a day to
write his impressions generally comes
with the notion that the miner Is un-
fsderpaid and that he has his neck
Sgconstantly under the heel OF an on-
fpresslre operator. He finds plenty
of men to ,encourge his belief and goes
