Changing Conditions Turns
Optimism of @. o. P.
to Doubt.
ATRANGEBEDFELLOWS
IN NEWEST POLITICS
Campaign in Ohio, as Well as En-
pire State, Is Causing Some
Different Views.

Two great States, ordinarily Repub-
Iicau- are giving the Administration as
much worry as all the rest Of the coun-
try put together. These States are New
York and Ohio. Despite the optimistic
reports which are handed out by the
Presidents callers regarding the situa-
ton in New York, it can be stated on
the authority Of a member of the
Presidents Cabinet that the defeat Of
Governor Hughes is now looked upon
as a foregone conclusion. and the Ohio
situation is one which does not inspire
confidence
The defeat Of Governor Hughes would
cause no weeping or crashing Of teeth,
were It not for the fact that ii would
involve other matters which are dear
TO the heart Of the President. He natu-
rally desires New York To remain Re
publican
Would Meau Ruin of Taft.
Again. the defeat of Hughes. if it
is accomplished by the enormous fig
urcs which are predicted in some quar-
tiers. would come dangerously close 10
losing the State for Taft, and that is a
calamity that Republican leaders do
not contemplate with eqUanimity.
There are enough danger signals hang
ing out in other parts Of the country
at present to cause them worry. Wy
Oming Democrats are proving trouble
some, as IRE two or three other States
in the Northwest. Massachusetts, is ex-
pected to poll a big Republican vote,
but the autagonism of organized labor
toward the lieutenant governor, who is
now at the head Of the ticket, is almost

The EubernatOrial fight in New York

bedfeUows made by politics II is no
so very long ago that the enmity be-
tween the executive Offices at Albany
and the White House was so keen tina
no effort was made to conceal it.
Sides Become Amalgamated.
When Governor Hughes was eliminated

Stenographers' Showing Indicates
They May Have LOOk-in for
High School Title.

Business High, by overwhelmingly de-
feating the GaIlaudet Reserves, yester-
day at Kendall Green. proved that It

a strong contender for scholastic foot
ball hOnors.
The final score was 30 TO s. and the
StenoEraphers clearly demonstrated
Jheir superiority over their opponents.
although they displayed occasional
flashes Of brilIiancy. Business started
the game by kicking 10 Holmes. who
was only able to advance the ball four
yards before being dOwued by Howard.
Business pluclly little end.
The NUJeS, finding the Business line
impregnable. were forced 10 kick. and

score standing "A 70 0 in favor Of Bust

In the second half GaIlaudet kicked

twenty-five yards. Here the Mutes took
a decided brace, and besides scoring a
touchdown held their opponents TO two

HUNTINGTON, W. Va, Oct 15.-In
his travels up and down the country,
Judge Taft has discovered that prob
lens in political economy have been
solved and the issues of the campaign
have been mastered by the hUmblest
citizen To say that this is the time
when every man who is free, twenty
one, and any color at all, knows as
much about statecraft as Theodore
Roosevelt, is to state but half the case.
To go a step further and declare that
every voter in the United States is as
glib of speech as William Jennings
Bryan. combining words with wisdom In
a. remarkable manner, IS getting little
nearer to the profound truths Of the
present day This, be it known is a
time when party platforms are dissect-
ed beneath the keen scrutiny Of all
those who WELD the tremendous power
Of the ballot; when trust questions are
decided and thrown into the limbo Of
Out-of-date puzzles. after a disCUrsive
talk Of ten minutes: when the tariff is
done away with and remade in a length
Of time that shames those students
who intend to devote months TO the
work. and when labor injunctions are
treated of in a language emphatic, al
though far from judicial.
In other words, this land Of the free
and home Of the immigrant is in the
thrOes Of deciding who shall be elected
President. and from now until election
day every man in It has a heaven-bOrn
and inaIienable right TO life, liberty and
the pursuit Of arguments IT IS true
that some Of this debate Is a lot OF
blind-aIley argument which leads no
