knew that from 80 to 100 home.
steaders were affected by the
ruling Of the General Land Office
and nearly all live in the Second
Congressional District. Many Of
the parties wrote Mr.. Fulton to
secure information about their
cases, and he went to work to
convince the Department that
the homesteaders should have
the decision. In no sense can
any man say truthfully that Mr..
Fulton tried to rob anyone of the
credit for this decision. He
simply did his pain duty as a
Representative of the people, for
which, of course, he expected
and could have no reward except
the feeling Of duty we'll done.

Democratic Outlook Bright

The New York Herald which
possesses a skill and accuracy
seldom equaled in feeling the
political pulse, is astonished al
the result of it's recent investi.
cation. About the first Of Sep.
tember they estimated that Mr..
Taft had 206 sure ELECTORAL votes
and that Mr.. Bryan only had
16l sure votes Of the 242 neces.
sary to elect. In a recent issue
OF that paper they declared that
Ohio, North Dakota, Kansas and
Oregon which they had placed
in the sure Republican column
must be taken out and placed in
the doubtful column with strong,
Democratic leanings.

metamorphosis that can hardly

average man unless,-well, never

Woodward. and told the voters
that it was the vilest document
ever. His judgment was
poor, icr the people set their
stamp of approval by nearly a
hundred thousand votes. The
truth is that Dick is cunning for
votes. A most agreeable, affable
and amiable gentleman he has
suddenly become. But Morgan
has not lived his nearly three
score years for nothing. He is

"block Of five" worked politics
