Wall Street Prophet Says Bryan
Will Win

The following election prognostica
tion is sent out from New York:
e. E. Knott, who has obtained con
siderable reputation among his fellow
brokers in Wall street as Presidential
election prognosticator, is confident
that Bryan will receive at least 251
electoral votes, or ID more than enough
to elect.
"In 1892" said Mr.. Knott, today, 81
predicted a landslide to Cleveland
early in the campaign. In 1895 fore
cast a close fight, with the result In
favor OF Mr.. Mckinley. In 1900 l pre-
dicted a landslide for Mckinley from
the start. In 1904 l figured out an
overwhelming victory for Roosevelt
from the nomination. This year pre-
dict a close Bryan victory. The States
l give Mr.. Bryan are as follws:
Arkansas, II; Alabama,9; Colorado,
8; Delaware. 3; Georgia 10; Idaho, B.

READER, sIOP, LOOK, LISTEN

This is our last word with you
before another National election
shall have taken place.
Ify you are a voter, whoever you
are. and whatever your occupation
in life is, we ask you before exer-
.cising your right as freeman to
read and compare the platforms OF
the Democratic and Republican
parties. The Democratic party in
its platform is outspoken on every
question that is now before the
people. There is no effort to Con-
ceal the truth: the Democrats at
Denver last July, through their
Platform, told the people of the
United States as plainly as human
language can rpeak, for what the
party stands. On the other hand,
the Republicans at Chicago de-
clined to express the opinion OF
the party on many questions, and
when the two platforms are put
in parallel columns, one can see the
great differences. THE GAZETTE
appeals to it's readers to study
carefully the two platforms before
voting.
The Democrats ask the people
to 90 back to the Constitution OF
the United States where it Gays,
eve, the people of tie United
States, in convention assembled,
have banded together for mutual
protection" The Democratic
party through its platform not
not only does not offer special
privileges to any man or set OF
men, but vehemently condemns all
snch legislation. The truths
enumerated in that platform are as
everlasting as the hills and noun
tains of Rockbridge county.
You are not asked to vote for
the Democratic party because 1t
will bring good crops, good mark
cts, or good times; you are asked
to vote that way because it is
sterDally right.

New York Herald's Forecast Of
Electoral College

The New York Herald Of Sur
day had the following forecast CT
the approaching Presidential con-
test:
While the Herald has never Get
up for a seer in regard to lts cleo
ton forecasts, results in the past
have borne out to a remarkable de
gree the careful canvass and indi
cation of existing conditions pre-
pared and published before each
election.
In 1896 TIE Herald predicted the
election Of Mckinley, giving hin
900 electoral votes and 157 for
BRYAN. The result was: McKin
lev, 27l; Bryaa, 176. At the same
tire the Herald AVE New York
State to Mckinley by 2l3, 400, the
actual result being 1888, 400.
McKinley's reelection In 1900
was predicted by 282 to his oppo
nent's les. The result was 292 to
I55. At that time the Herf Id gave
Mckinley l15. 900 in the State enc
Odell $1,000. Final figures were
pluralities of 143,6O6 fer McKin-
lev and Ill, 1875 for Odell.
In the close State election OF
1902, when most of the forecasts
were favorable to the Democrats,
the Herald predicted the re-elec-
ton of Governor Odsll by at least
1000. The result was an Odell
victory by little more than 5000
In 1904 Roosevelt's victory was
forecast by the Herald. Again, in
the State campaign of 1905 the
result was accurately predicted.
Hughes was given 143, 800 outside
Of Greater New York, and in the
returns had 134, 1854. The Herald
predicted the big cut in the Demo
cratic vote in Kings county that
brought about the result.
The latest canvass made by the
Herald gives the indications as
follows:

Woman's Home Companion

The increase In the price OF paper
has been a factor in forcing another one
of our magazines to increase in price.
The Woman's Home Companion, pre-
pairing to give it's readers bigger aud
better magazine, will raise its price
from 10 certs to IS cents a copy, and
from S1.OO to $1.25 a year in few
weeks
This advance Is in part due to the in
creased size and value of the magazine,
and In part to the increased price OF
paper, which is affecting every pub
Usher In the United States.

The Ideal Hunting Trip

In an ideal hunting-trip-which must
be in grand country, and In quest OF
grand game, the death CT the coveted
prize is only an incident. To a true
sportsman. one fine elk, mountain
sheep, goat or bear is a sufficient re.
ward for a rough trip into remote wilds
involving mary sacrifices, and hundreds
of dollars in money.
The ideal hunting trips are those that
are mnde chiefly for the sake OF camp
ing out in wilderness, with both feet
upon virgin soil; for the sake OF roam
ing the untouched forests and the un-
spoiled pastures CT the wild flocks,
breathing pure air and looking far; for
the sake of firing the body, resting the
mind and luxuriating in Natures own
