QUESTION OF MAJoRITIEs.

a MONG the state charmen of the Republi-
n cans throughout the country there is lit
tie expectation that the maiorities for Taft will
equal those for Roosevelt four years ago
National Chairman Hitchcock yesterday gave
out reports telling of the situation according to
the views OF the state charmen and some of them
are very interesting Mr.. Roosevelt four years
ago, received majoritcs over Judge Parker that
were phenomenal and almost unbelievable and it
would be an abnormal situation were they dupli-
Gated today. For example, in Pennsylvania, the
most rock ribbed Republican State in the nation,
the majority for Mr. Roosevelt was half a mil
lion. The state chairman this year does not place
his claim at more than half those figures, but he
would not be surprised if the majority were much
larger than his estimate.
State Chairman Murphy, OF New Jersey pre-
diets the Republican majority about half of
that of four years ago. IN Indiana, the Roosevelt
majority almost 100000, and Mr.. New, the
Republican State Chairman, this year makes a
prediction of 10000 for Taft. although that State
has been considered doubtful.
In Nebraska. the home State of Mr.. Bryan the
majority for Roosevelt over Parker was nearly
10000. while Mr.. Rosewater, the Republican Ma
tional Committeeman from Nebraska, claims the
State for Taft this year by 10000.
The Democratic party four years ago was in a
state OF collapse as the foregoing figures which
arc but a sample of many other States show.
Thousands of Democrats four years ago, voted
for Roosevelt and other thousands stayed at home.
The figures show what a tremendous landslide
these must be if Mr.. Bryan is to win today. ac-
cording to reports there are no indications Of the
landslide. The tale, however, will soon be told,
and there is not much use of specializing.

sometimes at the Horticultural soci-
ETY., sometimes at the association
meetings; but always On the ground

Now, the fact is that Wenatchee
would be better off if a few of these
knockers were distributed along the
bottom of the Columbia. There they
might knock to their hearts content.
But Wenatchee needs boosters, not
knockers.
