Civ: TAFT SIX STATES.
Democrat Campaign Managers Put
Forth Their Claims.

Chicago. Oct 31.-At both Democrat
ic and Republican headquarters in this
city today statements summing up
their respective views on the coming
election were issued. John E. Lamb,
in charge of the Democratic headquar
tiers here in the absence of Chairman
Mack. made public an estimate in which
he claimed 295 electoral votes safe for
Bryan; placed 40 votes in the doubt
full column and admitted that rs votes
of six states which he named were safe
ly Republican. Mr.. Lambs view of the
safely Democratic states would give the
election to Bryan by 295 electoral votes
against 1873 for Mr.. Taft.
William Hayward, secretary of the
Republican national committee, in a
signed statement, admitted the exist
ence of only four doubtful states in
what he designated as the western d.
vision.
I'm my Judgment. says Mr.. Hay
wards statement, there are but four
doubtful states in the western division,
Nevada, Colorado. Montana and Mis-
souri,. By this l do not mean that we
have no chance in Oklahoma, but not
just named. OF these. Colorado and
Montana are reasonably safe for Mr..
Taft. The prairie states west of the
Missouri river, as well as Wyoming,
Utah and Idaho of the mountain states,
and all of the Pacific coast states are
and have been Republican since the be-
ginning of the campaign. There has
never been any real doubt in the mind
of any one about Illinois, Wisconsin.
Michigan. Minnesota or Iowa. Mr..
Bryan will certainly lose his own state.
Personally = have never had any doubt
of Indiana and have not now"
Mr.. Haywards statement in closing,
claims New York, Ohio, and West Vir-
ginia and says that the doubt expressed
concerning Maryland and Kentucky is
all in favor of a Republican victory.
Victor Rose water, at the head of the
Republican publicity bureau, made
statement in which he said:
II am confident of Mr.. Taft's cleo
ton. Mr.. Bryan can not name state
that is reasonably certain for him and
that he did not carry in one of his
former campaigns. On the contrary
several states that went for Bryan in
1896 or 1900 are certain to go for Mr.
Taft this year."
In Mr.. Lambs statement the follow
ing states alone are admitted to be
safely Republican:
Maine Massachusetts. Michigan, New
Hampshire, Pennsylvania and YER
mont.
The following he places in the doubt
full column:
California. Connecticut, Delaware
Idaho Illinois. Iowa, Minnesota, North
Dakota Oregon, Rhode Island. Utah,
Washington, Wisconsin and Wyoming.

TWO Big CROWDS.
Come Out to Hear Bryan at Richmond.
Indiana.

Richmond, Ind, Oct. 31.-Two great
crowds heard w. ]. Brayn here today.
The candidates arrival was signalized
by tumultuous cheering. Both Andrew
Carnegie and E. H. Hartman came in
for a severe, castigation at his hands.
He said:
"Mr. Carnegie says that my election
would be a tragedy. Mr.. Carnegie is
from Scotland and a great lover of the
great Scotch poet Burns, and Burns
says that man will talk of what runs
in his head. 1t is not strange that MI
Carnegie talks of tragedy, as there is
a tragedy in his life that he will never
forget, the tragedy of the Homestead
strike, and he has used the word with
which he is very familiar. But ne
must not think that because my cleo
ton might prove tragedy to those
who have their hands in other peoples
pockets that 1t would therefore be
tragedy to those who have other per-
sons hands in their pockets.
"And who else has come out in sup
port of the Republican ticket? Mr.
Hartman, the very man that the
president denounced after he had writ
ten to him that they were both prac-
teal men and that he need not come
to the White House till after the cleo
ton If he thought there would be
criticism If he came before. Mr.. Taft
today is leading an army that has in
it every financial pirate, every trust
magnate and / nave not one single
man, who has his hands in another
mans pocket. and 1 appeal to the peo-
pie who have been victims of these
men. What Republican farmer can
longer doubt on which side to cast his
influence? What Republican laborer
can longer doubt which way to vote :?
What Republican business man can
longer doubt where his safety and his
interests lie?
Now they are talking panic They
are going to have a prosperity parade
in New York tonight. Thew say there
will be 100000 people in it and they
have a grand stand built along Broad
way. And they are going to have red
fire and bands, as they march where
1 saw, this very week, more than 500
men sleeping on the benches in the
middle of the night with newspapers
wrapped around them to keep them
warm. Talk of prosperity and yet the
people are without enough money to
paw for a place to sleep. Talk of
prosperity and more business failures
the first nine months of this year than
in the first nine months of 1893, or
1894. or 1895, the first year after the
Wilson bill was passed. or 1896. Talk
Of prosperity. And the people buying
10 per cent less groceries than a year
ago. Talk of prosperity. and the din
ner pail has vanished and the bottom
has drOpDed out.

Coming.

Coming.

well, how do things look, POLITICAL
ly?" suggested a reporter
Couldn't be finer" replied Mr.. At
wood. Its landslide for Bryan sure
this time. Conditions were never more
favorable than at present and if Mr..
Bryan does not carry the United States
by large majority of the electoral
college there will be a badly foolen
bunch of Democrats, not only IN Kan
sas but in the United States.
II have asked ten thousand men this
oresion: Do you know of one or more
Republicans who will vote for Mr..
BRYAN who never voted for him before,
or who voted for Mr.. Roosevelt four
wears ago? In answer to this question
7 have received ten thousand replies or
yes. This can mean but one thing and
that is the election of William Jennings
BRYAN in November as sure as election
day comes around
kansas is not an exception to the
rule for a majority of the questions
have been asked in this state and in
NV opinion Kansas is safely in the
Rrvan column and Botkin, Farrelly
and the entire state ticket will be as
strong as the Peerless leader on ac-
count of the peculiar conditions which
exist in the state Bryan is a winner.
so is RotIxin and the entire state ticket.

AUTO in The AIR.
BaIIoonists Take a Car Up With Them
in Their Flight.

Indianapolis. Oct. 31.-Sonrething new
in aeronautics was attempted here to-
day when a monster balloon with ca
pacity of 10000 cubic feet of gas shot
up into the air with an automobile in
the place where a basket is usually
suspended. The ascension was made AZ
p. m, the balloon carrying two occu-
pants, Carl G. Fisher of indianapolis
and c. L. Bumbaugh of Springfield,
ILL., The idea of the aeronauts is to be
able at will to roll up the balloon, load
it in the automobile and return to the
starting place or other destination.
The balloon descended near South
port, Indiana, a distance of seven miles
from indianapolis at $40 after being in
the air two hours and ten minutes.
The automobile was freed from thu
balloon and Bumbaugh and Fisher
came to Indianapolis in it.

B. L. Broun was caught last night
walking on both sides of Kansas ave-

only plainly drunk but made himself
too well acquainted with every lady
that passed him. He was in that
stage where he knew everyone on the
street and wanted to shake hands
with them all. In covering both sides
of the street at the same time, Broun
grew disorderly and was promptly
jerked. Five days on the rock pile is
sufficient for atonement.

TOUCHES PENNSYLVANIA
Taft Pays Tribute to States Loyalty
to RenubIicanisn.

Waverly. N. Y, Oct. 31.-W. H. Taft's
tribute to Pennsylvania was paid in his
speech at this place when he said:
1T is a great pleasure to meet you
this morning in such a good humor. 1t
makes me feel in good humor because
1 am sure your feelings come, as mine
do, from a certainty of success next
Tuesday. You are going to send John
Dwight to congress and then he is go

Mr.. Taft that he was on the state line
between Pennsylvania and New York
and that their congressman who would
be sent back was Mr.. Pratt.

talking about the election he replied
1.-The trouble about Pennsylvania is
that she is so good that we really do
not give her the credit she is entitled
to, because we are always so certain
of her. This is the first time 1 have
spoken on Pennsylvania soil and 1 want
to pay testimony to the gratitude that
every Republican in the country owes
to the Republicans of Pennsylvania,

j. III. Ulsh, the Democratic nominee
for County Clerk, who is asking the
support of the voters at the polls on the
third day of November, is well known
in Topeka and Shawnee county, having
resided in the city since 1892. For the
past twelve years he has been in the
laundry business in Topeka, and during
this time has earned a reputation for
square dealing that has made him ex-
ceedingly popular with his patrons.
Mr.. Ulsh is in favor of Shawnee
county receiving all of the fees as pre-
scribed by law, and does not believe
that the County Clerk should be per-
mitted to have a rake off," as has
been the custom in Shawnee county for
great many years. The duties in
volved by the prohibitory law bring be-
tween 20 and Is hundred dollars into
the County Clerks office, and Mr.. Ulsh
takes the stand that these fees belong
to the tax payers and not to the man
they have elected as County Clerk. :
eff I am elected County Clerk" says
Mr.. Ulsh, IT will turn all fees collected
into the county treasury and be content

Mr.. Ulsh has been resident of To
peka for the past eighteen years, dur
ing which time he has been well and IA
vorably known as a gentleman, citizen,
business man and friend. His political
opponents can bring nothing against him
personally, nor against his capacity to
fill the office which he seeks. His train
ing as a successful business man makes
him especially qualified to fill the posi-
ton of County Clerk. He is an affable,
congenial, hard working man, who will
treat all alike whether. he be man de-
pending upon his daily labor for his
livelihood or one in more affluent cir
cumstances. A vote for Mr.. Ulsh is
truly a vote for square deal to every
one.
