BRYAN VS. TAFT

paign can hardly fail to be the Mid
die west. If Bryan has any chance
at all 1t will be in carrying Indiana,
Ohio and possibly Illinois. Next in
Importance comes New York.
In both the 1896 and the 1900
campaigns Bryan's strength was
the greatest in the mining states of
the West. 1t decreased as he came
East until In states like Pennsyl-
vania he was up against an over
whelming republican majority.
Even In Indiana he had about 30
600 against him. In his first cam
paign Bryan carried all the western
mountain states, but his second
campaign showed him less strong
even in this stronghold
Republican conditions are bad in
Ohio. Indiana and New York. The
negro vote Is a large element in
Ohio and Indiana, and at times 1t
has almost held the balance of
power. Foraker's campaign against
Roosevelt has accomplished what
was intended, and has made large
section of the northern negroes dis
affected. In New York state the
republican organization has gone
on the rocks of factional dissen-
sions; and while the democratic
hahve not been free from the same
trouble, they might, by pulling to.
gether, easily get away with New
York's electoral vote.
And Wisconsin is very disaf.
fected. The LaFollette forces feel
that they were rot treated right by
the Taft managers, and they have
knives out for the ticket.
All this is important, however,
only on the assumption that Bryan
can win back some of the strength
which he showed in the mountain
states in 1896. On the whole those
states have since swung around
into the republican column. They
have shown themselves enthusiast
tic for Roosevelt, giving him hand
some majorities in the last cleo
ton. AS between Bryan and
Roosevelt there is E.tle doubt as
to how they would vote. But as
between Bryan and the man who is
Roosevelt's choice. and merely
bears the brand of Roosevelt APP
proval-in choosing between these
two, the question is: Will it be
Bryan or Taft?
1t is not an easy campaign to
forecast. Many elements enter
into the equation. Some are very
subtle elements. Party lines count
for nothing. The vote of the coun-
try is independent. The state of
business will have its effect.
Things which will be said on the
stump will have some effect And
even on Nov. s 1t may still be a
toss-up.

They shackled Sirronje and nail
ed her in a packing box last night.
Then they showed her into cur
tain cabinet and waited. At the
end of about half an hour the cab
met was opened and Sirronje sat
on the box. The ropes were not
disturbed; she apparently oozed
through -n ards. How she open
ed it and put it hack together again
is the mystery that draws her sal
airy. The committee might con-
tribute something to mechanics by
searching her and discovering the
sort of an instrument she uses. The
box was cleated and banded and
seemed to bother Sirronje a bit.
Her manager announced from the
stage last night that since Croft
felt bad on being turned down he
could bring on his box Saturday
afternoon and Sirronje would show
him how vain is the idea that he
can hold her. Tonight she gets into
trunk made especially for her by
the Spokane trunk factory. Maybe
this is all simple enough when you
know how, but from where the
audience sits it's too tough a propo-
sition to puzzle over. While this is
the big act, the rest of the bill is
classy and entertaining, one of the
best the house las had. The Her
bert Brothers in acrobatics is a
toplner anywhere.

to bet he would shut the Indians

CHICAGO. June 1S.-How about
the campaign? Will Taft win?
Who will direct the fight? What
will be the issue?
These are the questions which
are now pressing to the front.
Ever since il became a certainty
that Taft would be the nominee,
and that the convention would be
one large ratification meeting for
the Roosevelt policies, interest has
leaped forward to campaign man.
ayers and the campaign.
AS to management, there Is no
doubt whose mind will direct the
general game 1t will continue to
be that of Theodore Roosevelt. His
undertaking was to see Taft land
ed In the White House as the man
tot carry ON his policies. To rest
with getting him nomination
would be only half the contract.
What Roosevelt can do will be
done.
When Sen. Murray Crane told his
friends that he would not serve as
chairman Of the republican nation
al committee, he gave as his prin-
cipal reason the fact that Roose-
welt would be the real manager of
Taft's campaign. and he did not
propose to take orders from Roose-
welt. This difficulty will not en-
barass either Mr.. Hitchcock or
Arthur |. Vorys. Both have found
Roosevelt's advice of considerable
value during the anteconvention
campaign. and they will take
plenty of it during the big fight
At this stage of proceedings the
campaign looks as II it would re-
semble the campaign Of eight
years ago. That was Mr. McKin-
ley's second campaign. with Roose-
welt the nominee for vice president
Mark Hanna was still alive, and
the result was comfortable vic
tory for the republican ticket.
The democratic nominee will be,
as then, William j. Bryan. The re-
publican nominee will be, as then,
a tolioCl III lSopCSto
there is no doubt that Taft will fig
ure in the public thought more like
Mckinley than like Roosevelt.
Among enthusiastic admirers of
Roosevelt this will be a source of
weakness in Taft's candidacy. But,
on the other hand, many of the old
Mckinley admirers will be found
working for Taft-men who would
regard Roosevelt IS dangerous.
SO the ''mildness" of Taft will be
source of both strength and
weakness in the campaign-each
about equal to the other-resulting
in a ''stand.off' in that regard.
William J Bryan is still the radi-
cal candidate. His platform will
not be so fiery this time as the one
drawn by Benjamin r. Tillman at
the Kansas City convention. Meth
err will 1t have the silver at sixteen
to-one feature which characterized
the campaign of 1896. At the same
time it will be a Bryan platform,
and the real issue will be Bryan S
personality as against Tafts per-
sonality. Both platforms and both
candidates will be nominally pro
gressive." But one of the candi-
dates will appear as an untried, a
theoretical progressive of more
radical temperament, while the 9th
er candidate will appear as IA more
experienced progressive. of less
radical and more COmOrOmiSino
temperament.
And on the Taft candidacy will
appear the o. X. of Theodore
Roosevelt--the idol of the people.

ALAS, POOR DONOVAN!

Donovan, Of Vancouver, has all
