new 4Ork.-NatIOnal Chairman
Mack has authorized q statement in
| which he claims the election of w.
j. Bryan by a landslide Mr.. Mack
announced that his reports. show
ed that Mr.. Bryan you'd receive al
least 301 electoral votes. Or fifty-
nine more than n necessary for 1
choice.
Mr.. Mack's forecast of the election
is as follows:
The rumbling and thunder of the
Bryan landslide in the West are al
ready heard in the Eastern states
and today I can confidently predict
the election of Mr.. Bryan. That land
slide in the West will extend to the
shores of the Atlantic. 1t means the
Democratic national ticket will car
ry every doubtful state in this Sec
ton, and In rock-ribbed Republican
districts, the majorities of that par
ty in recent years will be reduced to
minimum. Baslng my forecast
on the most conservative lines, in
view of the optimistic reports have
received from all sections of the,
country, figure that Mr.. Bryan will
have at least POI electoral votes, or
fifty-nine more than is necessary for
a choice.
This comfortable majority will
increase rather than decrease when
counted. In addition to the 166

that Mr.. Bryan will carry New York,

Indiana, Ohio, Delaware, Kansas
and South Dakota total of 301
votes. ALI over the country, there is
change of Is to SO per cent from
the Roosevelt vote of 1904 to Mr..
Bryan.
1.-THE result is no longer in doubt
in New York. The thirty-nine votes
of the state are assured for Mr. Bry>
an. He will win by a substantial
plurality. The empire state can no
longer be included in that territory
called the enemy's country.
From connecticut hare recelT-|
ed very encouraging reports. Judge
Robertson, the Democratic candidate
for governor. will carry the state BY
about 10000 plurality and the ma
tional ticket, backed by a united par
ty, has the best chance In years of
winning the electoral votes.
New Jersey sounds an optimistic
note and there is every reason to be-
lieye that that state will be In the
Democratic column.
Delaware, we expect to win. The
people are hot with resentment
against party branded with Dupont
ism. Thousaeds of Republicans
there will either vote for Bryan or
not vote at all.
