Ohio for Bryan.


 From the Cincinnati Enouierer
 Washington.-The situation in Ohio at the present moment indicates a land slide for Bryan, from Lake Erie to the river." declared M W. Hissev of zanes- vile, intimate friend and legislative Of the late Senator M A. Hanna. today.
 Ihe republican party in the state is on the verge of divsion,'' he continued because of the attitude of President Roosevelt.
 The republican party in Ohio has been the party of the majority. and never be- fore has it heard from any President the expression, My policies The party al- ways has been greater thaa any one man. It was so with Hayes, Garfield and Me. klnley-the party was above the individ- ual, and they always spoke of republican policies.
 MT. Roosevelt speaks of my policies Nas though the party had become his per sona1 property. This has disgusted the rank and file of the party in Ohio
 MT. Roosevelt, by the use of the big stick and the steam roller, has nomi- mated his successor, whom he declares will carry out my polcies,' and Judge Taft agrees to do so to the letter, show ing conclusively that the republican party has lost it's identity and has become the personal property of MT. Roosevelt
 'The business interests of Ohio demand to know why these hard times occur un- der my policy administration. McKin- ley left a full dinner pail. Under MT. Roosevelt the bottom has dropped out There are no natural reasons for the ex- istence of these hard times. It is up to MT. Roosevelt. who claims to own the re- publican party, to explain the situation.
 ''The people of Ohio resent Mir. Roose- velts attempt to assassinate the charac- ter of one of her foremost citizens, name- ly, Senator J. B. Foraher. Ohio is proud of Grant, Hayes, Garfield. Sherman, Me Kinley, Hanna and Foraker--but among her great sons there is none greater than Senator J. B. Foraker-and the Presi- dents brutal treatment is indignantly re- scented by the republicans Of Ohio, from the lake to the river.
 "A serious disaffection exists in the negro vote in Ohio, and 60 per cent of that will be cast for Bryan. All over the state the negroes are wearing but tons with the inscriptions Remember Brownsvile' This means 30,O0O votes against Taft.
 s"There Is serious division in the labor ing vote, 80 per cent of which will be cast against MT Taft and for MT Bryan. and the republican laboring vote will mean 40,000
 There are in the state of Ohio 300 GOO republicans. Of this number 1t is safe to say that s150,000 are Forakerites. It is not claimed that the entire number will vote against MT. Taft. It is a conservative estimate, however, that 10 per cent are sullen and angry, and Senator Foraker himself could not prevail upon them to vote for MT. Taft.
 we have, therefore, change of s5 ,OOO republican votes. Some one may say that MT. Roosevelt carried the state by 225. 900. but it must be remembered that that vote was four years ago, and that the last vote in Ohio showed the election of Gov ernor Pattison, democrat, by 4S plural- ity and the highest plurality given to any republican candidate on the state ticket was only 5000

HOW TlcoNDERoeA WAS TAKEN.

From the Boston Journal.
 One hundred and ninety-nine years ago today the English-no, let us go away baclk-2s9 years ago the French-no, that isn't right-3S9 years ago the Indians-oh, pshaw. 4s9 years ago the mound builders took Ticonderoga from the cave dwellers. Then the Indians took 1t from the mound builders, and the French took it from the Indians, and then 1e9 years ago today the English took it from the French, and then Ethan Allen, with the aid of the Great Jehovah and the continental con gress, took it from the English, and now you can take it from me that no one else Is ever going to take it from any budV

on the side of the republicans and our miserable little $27O0 campaign fund. Bry- an lost Ohio by only 4s000 votes. He carried the state outside of eight cities and 10000 of the 4S,000 was due to Cincin natl. Mckinley was strong candidate Tn the west, Taft Is not. He is not as strong as his party. He is not strong as speaker and he is not strong in per- sonal popularity
 TT you ask how the business and finan- rial J interests of the state feel toward Bryan, l would cite the case of MelvilIa E' lpgalls, millionaire railroad man and pank president. In 1896 he stumped thel country against Bryan. This year he eave sluoo to the demoeratic national campaign Iund, and is openly supporting Bryan HIS IS only one of many similar cases
 Ihe democrats of the state are more united than they have been at any other tune in 20 years. The labor vote, as in- olVlouals, not as organizations. is only one or many conditions in the state ali favorable to Bryan.

Crops In Barbour.

w. W. Bishop, resident of Clayton, and until right recently editor of the Clayton Record, is in Birmingham attend ing the fair.
 Crops in Barbour county and, for that matters, throughout south Alabama, have suffered much from lack of rain,' he said "The drouth has told especially on corn and cotton. Had rain fallen at the right time the crops, however, would have been exceptionally fine, and are, in spite of every handicap, very good.
 ''The south Alabama farmer, as a rule, is raising what his family consumes and is emerging from under the load of debt. Conditions, therefore, are exceptionally good, and are destined to be even better"

 WHEAT AND GOLD.
 From Outing.
 If I should tell you of a new gold mine which yielded more gold in a sin gle year than Alaska has yielded in all the years since gold was first discov- cred there--can you imagine the stam- pede of people from town and country, from the big city and the village ham let? I once had the luck, or the ill., luck, to be present in such a stampede to one of the minor gold fields. l was on one of the first trains to enter the new camp. Men and boys climbed in the engine, on the cowcatcher. on the coal tender. Talk of standing room. The train was packed literally two and three deep; for men, and women, too, crowded from the interior of the cars, clambered to the roofs and perched on the trainmens planking, outhooting the engine, shouting themselves hoarse, as the train whistle announced the be- ginning of the journey to the gold mines. Yet that gold camp had not produced s10,O00, 900 of gold in year; and it's total gold production since has not reached $4O,OoO,0o
 If I should tell you-and prove up my telling-of a gold mine that pro duced more gold in single year than California and Nevada and Arizona and Alaska have produced in all time, what kind of fool would you think yourself for not knowing about that mine? What kind of a fool would you think yourself forAnot investing in that mine, for not getting in on the ground floor and backing up the engineers who ex plotted it with salaries that would put the Steel trust to blush? The Steel trust has a capital of billion plus, and thinks it does well to pay dividends of 4 or per cent. The mine of which ] write pays yearly dividends equal to 50 per cent on the capital of the Steel trust; or a half billion dollars yearly.
 Such a mine is Americas wheat hard and soft and semihard. Red Fife and Blue Stem and Turkish Red and Durum, and all the subdivisions and crosses and recrosses of these, which have so multiplied that thoroughbred or pedigreed wheat today must be named and cataloged by numbers as pure-blood stock Is registered.

This, with a shorter month. It is the best monthly production since November of a year ago and is believed to have gone directly into melt. This is manufac- turing at a rate of 17,O00,o00 tons a year. and, as this pace will in all prob ability be maintained or exceeded dur ing the remaining three months, the total sh howing will be great deal bet ter than was contemplated early in 1908.
