Special Correspondence to The Press
CONVICTION, KY, Sept. Sis
Kentucky doubtful state this
year?
That Is about the first question
every traveller from north of the
Ohio river asks when he treads the
soil of the Blue Grass state.
Congressman Ollie James of the
First Kentucky district answers by
saying Kentucky is good for any
where from $4,000 to 10000 for
Bryan.
Chairman r. II. Winn of the re-
publican state central committee is
cautious and says merely that the
state has leaning toward Taft.
The Louisville organ of the Taft
forces estimates that the state is
for Taft by 2200.
An analysis of the figures may
prove interesting. Prior to the IA
nous campaign of 1896. Kentucky
always went democratic by plurali-
ties ranging from $4,000 to $4,000 in
presidential years. In 1896 it went
for Mckinley by 2S1. In 1900 it
voted for Bryan by 1875. In 1904
1t went for Parker by 1888. The
democratic majorities and repub-
lican rajorities in the congress
sional races of 1906 were 39.340 to
9642. a net democratic majority of
29,69S. However, in the very next
year the republican state ticket
was swept into power by $4,000.
The big democratic majorities in
the congressional races were
largely due to apathy in both par
ties. The republican victory of last
year was due to tangled condition
that almost amounted a Split in the
democratic party.
How about 1908, as compared
with 1896. when the state went for
Mckinley?
In 1896 the federal offices were
filled by democrats; the control of
the big cities was lodged in demo
cratic hands and the election ma
chinery was in the hands Of demo
Gratis. However, the so-called gold
democratic movement very largely
originated in Kentucky. A former
governor of the state, Gen. Simon
Bolivar Buckner, ran for vice presi-
dent on the gold democratic ticket,
and the Louisville Courier-Journal,
democracy's most influential news
paper in the south, fought Bryan
bitterly, supporting the Palmer and
Buckner ticket, and calling upon all
patriotic democrats to help defeat
Bryan, who was savagely de-
nounced and ridiculed by Henry
Watterson.
With all this and with the sus-
picion of a rotten election In Louis
Vile, the state only went repub-
lican by PSI.
This year the democrats are
united. Chastened by their defeat
of last fall, Get together" has been
their battlecry. Their state con-
vention for the selection of dele
gates to the national convention at
Denver was the most harmonious
in years. Such rivals as former

1907 LUMBER CUT LARGEST.
Gain Over Last Year Somewhat
Problem aticai.

Washington Sept. 1.-F'igures of the
| lumber cut in 1907, compiled by the
bureau of the census and the forest
| service, showed the largest total ever
reported in tlle United States, exceed
ing by over per cent the cut reported
| for 1906, until then the record year.
This does not necessarily show a larger
actual cut than in 1906, for the returns
obtained last year were more complete
than ever before. The figures them
selves disclose several interesting facts.
In 1907, 2S,S5O mills made returns,
and their production was over 40,000,-
100000 feet of lumber. This is be-
lieved to include 95 per cent of the
actual cut In 1906, -22,39S mills re-
ported about 37.5oo,0o0,oo0 feet. Since
according to these figures nearly 20 per
cent more mills reported last year than
the year before, while the increase in
productions was only a little over Z
per cent, 1T might be Thought that the
! amount actually manufactured must
have been greater in the earlier year.
This, ,however, would be a too ilasty
inference, for 1t is almost wholly
among mills Of small Individual output
that the gain in the number of estab-
lishments reporting has been made.
A classification of the returns by
states and regions throws additional
light on the situation. Individual
changes, as for example the remark
able rise of Texas from eighth to third
place among the lumber producing
states, are doubtless accounted for pri-
marily by the greater accuracy of the
1907 figures; but IN the majority OF
cases the advances and declines can
be traced to specific influences.
Before the year closed, the general
business depression was severely felt
in the lumber industry. 1t was not
however, the most important cause OF
falling off in the production of the
year where falling off occurred. for
decline In production took place only
in certain regions. The south is the
region of the greatest activity In lum-
Der production, and yellow pine the
most important wood, forming 33 per
cent Of the entire cut of the country
The cut of yellow pine reported shows
an increase of 13 per cent over that OF
1906.
In the early part of the year many
of the southern mills cut so heavily
that, in spite of the ctrtailed output
which followed the business disturb
ance. later, the total Was greater than
ever before Hut IL bothf the lake states
and the northwest = smaller cut was

BRYAN AT FARGO.
Will Give Several Speeches Between
There and Grand Forks.

ln0ro ana 0Fdno = f0fk8s.
Fargo, n. d., Sept. William J.
Bryan today continued his campaign
in the northwest. He arrived here early
this morning, and after breakfast, pro-
ceeded to the fair grounds and held a
reception preliminary to his speech. At
noon, he was rendered a banquet. Sew
eral speeches are scheduled between
here and Grand Forks, at which place
Bryan tonight will talk on the issues
of the campaign.
Bryan gave to his speech here agri-
cultural color, owing to the fact that
he was in a farming country. The IL
Illustrations which he used were gath
cred from the farm and the issues pre-
sented were those that appealed es-
peeially to the farmer. He dmelt upon
the subjects covered by his notification
speech and pointed out. as he did then,
the things which he said have operated
to take the government out Of the
hands Of the people and named the
remedies which the democrats propose.
He also spoke at length on the tariff
question, accentuating the word "un-
equivocally," which he said appears in
the promise of the republican platform
relative to the calling Of an extra ses-
sion Of congress. He said:
"Why do they use the word 'un-
equivocally?' Why do they try to dis
tinguish this promise from the unkept
promises of the past? If you want to
find out the real meaning of the word
'unequlvocally,' call at bank and ask
