TIE PRESIDENTIAL CONTEST.

Democrats may find encourage ment in the fact that with the Presidential election only mont distant, the cool-headed men i. both parties, who do not make esti mates on partisan or sentimenta grounds are in doubt which side will win. Men of both parties whc are competent to estimate, admit that the outcome is in doubt. That was not the case in 1896, in 1900 or in 1904. and those who hope for Democratic success have no es- pecial reason to feel discouraged or hopeless, for Bryan appears to be holding his own as well as Taft does, and to be equally popular ir those states that must decide tn result.
 The two estimates or reviews of the situation that are attracting most interest and attention just now are those of Walter Wellman. the weIl-known Republican news paper correspondent, in the Chica go Recofd-Herald, and the first ante-election estimate of the New York Herald. The Herald will print it's second and final estimate late in October. Mir. Wellman gives Taft 84 and Bryan 90 cleo tofial votes as sure" for each; and 84 for Taft and q for Bryan a. virtually sure" which is total oi 168 for Taft and l6l for Bryan Fifteen states. with I54 votes, Mir. Wellman puts down as doubtful Of these Taft needs "A and Bryan 8l.more to win. That is quite close, and Wellman is a Republican, remember, and well-informed cool-headed man.
 The New York Herald's first es- timate gives Taft 2o6 and Bryan 161 sure" votes with eleven doubtful states, with 116 eleetonal votes. So according to the Herald Bryan has show to win as well as Taft. New York. Colorado, h. diana, Maryland. West Virginia and Nebraska are in the Herald $ doubtful list.
 Thus it will seen that as rule it is only the partisans who are sure of victory for either side. A calm view of the figures would seem to indicate that either side has show to win, and therein is hope for Democracy.

States in that year were due to vagrancy, drunkenness and disor- derly conduct. Of the yagrants who were sentenced. three ffths f received terms of than less thirty days. one-ffths were imprisoned for one month and the other fifth averaged three moths penal ser vice. Railroad officials, who are probably better qualified than any other class to give reliable data re- gafding tramps. declare that this year vagrancy is greater than it has ever been in the history of the country. Some of the aecessions to the non-working class have come. of course. from closed shops and factories. but in a larger meas ure the increase is aseribed to the development of boy tramps. Scores of youths and young men. who find begging and petty thieying an cas- fer means of living than honest toll, have joined the vagrant army in the past few years. The railroads alone estimate their annual losses from the depredations of trarnps and vagrants at 25,ooo,0oo. And the problem is continually becom- ing more serious.
 The time is now rapidly ap- preaching when the tramps will quit the road for the towns and cities. In the summer these men live largely in the open air. In the winter, they are driven by the cold to seek shelter Naturally. they turn to the warehouses and jails Here they can live without cost to themselves and frequently in un- disturbed ease. They go from place to place. often committing small offenses with deliberate pur- pose of being arrested and sent enced. They will beg under the noses of town marshals or police men in the eXDection that they will oe given a warm bed in the local jail for at least one night and pos sibly for a month The worst that is likely to happen to them is to be committed to the warehouse. where usually there is little of la DOT during the winter months.
 When a man seeks to be sent t jail. putting him there is very smal
 punishment. Locking him uY merely to keep him off the street and away from more industrious people is only placing a premium on ind olenca. The solution of tn problem lies with the cities ane towns. Instead of a sentence of week. or a small fine that means a
 most probably not more than on months imprisonment, The va rant should be treated more near " like the dangerous social facto that he is. His commitren'
 hould be for term that will make the jails and workhouees a less welcome haven. And then, once
 n jail or workhouse. he should be put to useful labe-. The forcing of work upon such men is the only means by which the country will be rid of them.
 There is no excuse for the tramp md there would be no tramps if the penalty were made to fit the me.-The Woman's National Daily.

Appeal to Democrats for Pryan and Kern
 Campaign fund from National Committee.
To Editor of the Huttig News.

To Editor of the Huttig News. Dear Sir:
 There are no secrets in this campaign. Strictly practicing what he breaches, MT Bryan would not win the victory with tainted money paying the election ex penses
 Not dollar is to be accepted which requires any promise, either express or implied. other than for HoNRsT, IMPARTIAL GOVERNMENT.
 MT. Bryan will enter the White House absolutely free from entangling alliances. free to serve all classes of honest citizens alike. or he will not enter it at all
 Hence the course is plain. The cam paign of Bryan and Kern must be con ducted by the people
 The people must pay the necessary campaign expenses if they want public servants who will serve their interests.
 Special interests and favored classes, having secured SWOLLEN FORTUNES by purchasing favors in the past with MIL- LIONS CONTRIBUTED TO CONTROL ELEo- TONS. and stand ready to give MT LIONS MORE FOR CONTINUED FAvoRs. But that class never gives a dollar unless it buys a pledge.
 MT. Bryan says, from March 4th. 9o9, LET THE PEOPLE RULE
 This can come only if the people pay their own bills. and control their own elections.
 BEWARE OF THE TRUsrs BEARING GIFTS.
 That policy of the favored few buying mortgage on the Government meant that the candidate for President knew a few people only in an entire state
 Bryan says We will take the cause of PEOPLE RULE home to the people in every county.
 You can serve the grand cause of pop ular government through the columns of your paper. It reaches the dhreside of the patriot who loves his country for his country's Coop; as distinguished from the greedy possessor of swollen fortunes who loves his country only for his coun- try's GooDs.
 Please carry this letter in bold type at the masthead of your paper, asking ey- cry one who favors Government by the people to pay you. at once, as many dol ars as he can spare to aid the campaign for BRYAN, KERN AND PEOPLE RULE. YoL forward these gifts of honest hearts and homes every week to the Treasurer 0. the Democratic National committee, with he name of each contributor and amouni given. The Treasurer will forward yoa a certificate like copy enclosed for each one, asking you to deliver these eertifs sates.
 Once more. you should be part of the Great Organization bearing the Lamp oi Light to every nook and corner of Free America

This leaves the team with only one ex-
perienced outfielder Rabbit Shinn,
who is probably a fixture. Wilter-

and his stick work was poor. Wither-

developed into first class gold brick.
Hanna showed himself clever fielder
and a hard worker. but was bat shy.
Yesterday the locals played a five
