the election of Mr.. Bryan. The land

figurc that Mr. Bryan will have at
least 301 electoral votes, or SO more
than is necessary for choice. This
comfortable majority will be increas-

nEe internal disscnson in the Rcpub-

swing of the labor vote in that State
to Mr.. Bryan are powerful factors fer
his success.

People are hot with resentment
