DEBS SAYS HE GAINED.

Terre Haute, lnd.-Eugene V Debs, defeated candidate for the presidency on the Socialist ticket, made the fol. lowing statement concerning the So- cialist vote:
 The so ocalled falling off was not a falling off I attribute the votes fall ing short of the expected mark to the fact that an unusually large vote was cast for the Socialist candidate in 1904 Then there were a great many disgruntled Democrats who were cha grined because Parker was nominat- ed, and they voted with the Socialists. This year they went back to the Dem ocratic party and voted for Bryan. l count that we have made a gain in the actual Socialist vote,

TAFT'S CABINET.
Four Changes Scheduled, But Most of
 Roosevelt's Aides Will Stay.

Cincinnati, Nov. 9-From an unoffi- cial but trustworthy sourse comes the information that President Tafts cab inet will be composed of the follow ing:
 Secretary of the Treasury-George Von l.. Meyer, Massachusetts.
 Secretary of State-Elihu Root, New York
 Secretary of War-Luke E. Wright, Tennessee.
 Secretary of the Interior-James Garfield, Ohio.
 Secretary of the Navy-Wm. Loeb Jr, New York.
 Postmaster General-Frank Hitch cock, Massachusetts.
 Attorney General-Frank B. Kellogg. Minnesota.
 Secretary of Agriculture-James Wilson, Iowa.
 Secretary of c. mmerce and Labor Oscar l.. Strauss, New York.
 The change in personnel of the cab inet would retire three officers and change a fourth. Secretary of the Treasuary Cortelyou, would make way for George Von L. Meyer, present Post master General, who would be sue ceeded by his present first assistant, Frank Hitchcock, Tafts campaign manager. Attorney Gen. Chas. J. Bon aparte, would be succeeded by his as- sistant, Frank B. Kellogg, the young Minnesotaian, who has become famous in the Standard Oil prosecution, and Secretary of the Navy Victor H. Met calf. would make way for Wm. Loeb, Jr.
 Senator w. Murray Crane, of Mas sachusetts, the millionaire paper man ufacturer, is also prominently men toned in connection with the Naval portfolio.
 It is understood that Myron T. Her rick. formerly governor of Ohio, is be- ing quietly boomed for a place ln Taft's cabinet, as custodian of the na- tion's finances.
 There is little probability that Rsot or Wright will be succeeded. Root Is Tafts warm personal friend and the same reasons that induced MT. Roose- welt to make Wright Taft's successor as Secretary of War, should operate to Mir. Taft, particularly in view of the campaign work that Wright, who has always been called a Democrat, did for Taft in the campaign just past.

A Cinquist.

The charm of Mrs. Ruth McEnery Stuart's negro dialect stories was greatly enhanced when she read them herself as she used frequently to do in the early days of her fame, for charity and church entertainments. Her imitation of the negro dialect was excellent, and her small son, who was very fond of her accomplishment in this line. frequently boasted of t among the other children. Once, when some of his sehoolmates were vaunt ing the accomplishments of their sev. eral mothers, he was overheard to de clare:
 Well, my mother is smarter than any of yours. She can speak two Ian, guages."
 What are they?" demanded his companions.
 White and colored."

EAGER TO WORK Health Resained by Right Food.

The average healthy man or woman is usually eager to be busy at some useful task or employment.
 But let dyspepsia or indigestion get hold of one, and all endeavor becomes a burden.
 "A year ago, after recovering from an operation" writes a Mich lady, my stomach and nerves began to give me much trouble.
 At times my appetite was vora- cious, but when indulged, indigestion followed Other times had no appetite whatever, The food l took did not nourish me, and l grew weaker than ever.
 T lost interest in everything, and wanted to be alone. l had always had good nerves, but now the merest trihe would upset me and bring on a vio- lent headache Walking across the room was an effort and prescribed ex- ercise was out of the question.
 q had seen GrapeNuts advertised, but did not believe what l read, at the time. At last when it seemed as if I were literally starving. l began to eat Grape-Nuts.
 "I had not been able to work for a year, but now after two months on GIape-Nuts l am eager to be at work again. My stomach gives me no trou- ble now, my nerves are steady as ever, and interest in life and ambition have came back with the return to health"

MARYLAND SPLIT; BRYAN 6;
 TAFT 2.
Republican Gets Popular Majority Final Totals Now Taft 321, Bryan
 162.

Baltimore, Md. Nov. 9.-The can
 vass of Maryland's last presidential
 election shows that the states elector-
 al vote is divided, although Judge
 Taft actually carried the state on the
 popular vote The official. canvass shows that Maryland will cast six or
 her eight vites in the electoral college for Bryan, while the other two votes
 in the electoral college will be cast for Taft.
 On a popular vote Taft has carried the state by 605 plurality, the actual figures for the vote in the whole state, taking the vote of the highest elector on each side as representing the real vote of the respective candl' dates was as follows:
 Taft, 116,514; Bryan, 1l5,909. Taft's plurality, eos.
 How Vote Was Split. The split in the delegation rom Maryland is due to the fact that the vote for the eight electors on each of the two leading tickets varies widely: while the reason that the DemocraIs secure more electors than the Repuo' licans is because the difference oe' tween the vote of the highest and low est electors on the Democratic side is much less than it is between the hlgh- est and lowest on the Republican slde AS a result of this difference Ill the vote for the several electors, the lead- ing Republican elector has larger vote than any Democrat elector, put six of the Democratic electors nave each a greater number of votes than the six lowest men on the Repuoh-
 can ticket. Consequently the SIX
 lowest Republicans are crossed out and the six highest Democrats are
 elected to the electoral college, along
 with the two highest Republicans. The members of the electoral col lege are pledged to vote, not Tor the
 man who carried the state on the popu-
 lar vote, but for the candidate on whose ticket they were nominated Hence the Democratic electors Will vote TOT
 Bryan and the Republican electors
 will vote for Taft.
The Nevada County picayune., 1908-11-12

The Republican majority in the Ma tional House of Representatives has been cut, but that party still will have substantial control.
 Tafts plurality in New York state has gone well over the 100000 mark. while Hughes for Governor has shrunk to 75,OO0 or less.

Special Correspondence to The Press

Special Correspondence to The Press
LONDON, Feb. 7.-Tonight the
king holds his first court" of the
season. A court really means big
ball, and it is the finest thing OF
the kind in England. and perhaps
in the world.
Only people of the highest nobil
ity, of the highest government posi-
ton and distinguished foreign Wis
itors are invited. The king goes
over the list of guests personally
and scratches out all the names
that he does not like.
The court chamberlain pre-
scribes very carefully the clothes
that must be worn Ladies must
wear only low-cut evening gowns
they must have trains at least
three yards long, and they must
wear three feathers in their hair
They may also wear jewelry and
other adornments, too.
Men must wear evening coat
and vest, white tie, satin knee
breaches, silk stockings, buckled
shoes and a short sword in vel.
vet scabbard Officers of the army
and navy are an exception, as they
may appear in uniform.
Whitelaw Reid, the American
ambassador, must conform to the
short trousers rule.
The only man that ever went to
a court ball in long trousers was
Pres. Loubet, of France. He be-
ing chief of state, it was felt
that no rule could be made for
him and Loubet would not have
come unless he could have worn
long trousers.
In France full length trousers are
required as symbol Of true de.
mocracy and republican simplicity
They were the first badge of the
revolutionary patriots after the
fall of the bastile, previous to
which all men mad worn short
trousers.
In the United States. on the 9th.
err hand, the revolution was fought
by men in knee pants, and Ameri.
can who go to the kings ball feel
that they are not so very un.
patriotic to do the same thing.
Tonight's court is held in Buck
ingham palace. and all the noble
youth. brains and beauty of Eng
land will be there.
