acquiesced willingly. The wedding day

The New York World and The Seat
tie Sunday Times yesterday morning
presented the first general canvass of
the twenty-three so-called pivotal
states of the forty-six states, II days
before the election
The reports of the canvass reflect
the earnest and impartial efforts of the
heading newspapers in the states of
Maryland, West Virginia, Ohio, Indi-
ana, Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Da-
kOta, Iowa, Missouri Kansas, Nebras
ka, Wyoming, Montana Colorado,
Utah, Idaho, Washington, Nevada and
California, and of The World through
it's correspondents in the states of
New York, New Jersey and Connec-
ticut. These conditions may change
during the rest of the campaign, and
materially affect the indicated results,
but The World and The Times feel en-
tirely justified in presenting the esti-
mate given as portraying the exact
situation at the present time
In compiling the accompanying table
showing the probable, distribution Of
the 443 electoral votes, The World
and The Times have placed in the
doubtful column several states which
may ordinarily be credited to one can
didate or the other. They have done
SO for many and varied reasons justi-
fed by the uncertainty regarding ele-
ments that appear to be undergoing
and the final classical
ton, which cannot now, with absolute
accuracy, be determined

Result Still In Doubt.

1t Is this element of uncertainty that
impels The World and The Times to
accept the conclusion that the result
Of the contest for the presidency is in
doubt, due to the important causes
that may be set forth as follows:
1.-The injection into the campaign
for the presidency in some of the west
ern states of an insidious and disturb
ing religious factor, which is working
against the interest of the republican
candidate
1.-THE ten 1ency of the labor vote to
break away from the control of all
parties, as illustrated in the surprising
spread of the socialist causel both i'm
the east and west.
3.-The failure of both the republi-
can and democratic parties to intel
ligently approximate the distribution
or the vote to be cast by an army of
estimated in round num-
bers at 100000 voters
4.-The failure of both the republi-
can and democratic managers to an
ticipate the distribution of the colored
vote in states where it has always
been classified as republican.
5.-The complete absence of any
thing suggesting an issue of general
value Or vote-getting potency to either
side.
These five reasons cannot be ignored

popular vote, or warrant the prejudiced

SerVidnS Want
To Start ThinQS

SAN FRANCISCO, Calf. Oct. l.
A mass meeting of the Servians here
will be held tonight for the purpose Of
enlisting the sympathy of the natives
of that country in the movement to
protest the annexation of Bosnia and
Herzegovina by Austria; and if neces-
sary to raise an army here.
MAIDEN Merchop, formerly a lieu
tenant of the Austrian army, is at the
head of the movement here. He says
there are at least 1000 Servians on the
Pacific coast who will enlist; and that
already 2S5 have enlisted. Local men
are confident that 100000 will be en-
listed in the United States who will
ask the United States to intervene to
prevent the consummation of the an
nexation.

when William Goodyear, of Colfax,
democratic candidate for congress
from the third district, one Of the lead

this part of the state, having on nu-

at various gatherings here.
However, this will be the first time
he has spoken in Walla WaIla from

NEW YORK, Oct. 19.-The New
York Herald in discussing the prob
able result of the presidential cam
paign gives a new angle to the situa-
ton by showing how the Mormon
church is apt to name the next presi-
dent of the United States. The Herald
says it is entirely within the bounds of
possibility that the presidency in 1908
may be settled by the, Mormon church.
Should the election be close there is
little doubt that the nine electoral
votes Of Idaho, Wyoming and Utah,
which are controlled by the Mormons
will be the determining factor.
At the beginning of the national
campaign the democratic managers es-
tablished branch headquarters of their
national committee in Denver and
placed John E. Osborn, at one time
governor of Wyoming, in charge Os-
born has a fully equipped machine at
work under full pressure and is now
confidently laying claim to eleven Of
the twenty electoral votes for which
he is fighting. These are the five of
Colorado and thre each of Nevada and
Montana.
He frankly ayers that the nine other
electoral notes.-the three each of Utah.
Idaho and Wyoming-are absolutely in
the keeping of the Mormon hierarchy
at Salt Lake city, and that unless Will
liam j. Bryan can show beyond doubt
between now and the last week in Oc-
tober that he has the presidency won,
he cannot hope to obtain a vote in any
of the three states named.
Should it be made to appear reas-
onably certain, however, to Joseph
Smith and other rulers of the Mormon
church, according to Governor Osborn,
that Bryan has winning strength a
week before the ballots are cast. the
Mormon church can be depended upon
to throw the determining weight of its
powerful influence to him.
Control Three States.
1T would be silly for me to beat
about the bush in this matter" said
Osborn Everybody in this part Of the
country knows that the Mormon
church controls Utah, Idaho and Wy
oming as completely as either of the
great parties does it's states. Likewise
Is everybody in this part of the coun-
try aware of the hard and fast deal
made by Mark Hanna and Perry H.
Heath with the Mormon church in 1900
through which pluralities by which
Bryan carried the three Mormon states
In 1896 were reversed almost over
night and their electoral vote were
given to Mckinley.
Il have no false notions about this
thing and indulge in no diplomatic
language in discussing it, The Mormon
church gives its vote to the party that
shows winning qualities, and so I say

Labor day, and was received by voters
on both sides as one of the best ora
tors who had appeared here in many
years.
In addition to Mr.. Goodyear, J. F.
Fades. of Pasco, democratic candidate
for state senator from the eleventh

talk. While Mr.. Fades is not general

of the newspaper fraternity, being pro-

of the leaders of democracy in Frank

Enraged because there was one pa
Der in the city that had the nerve to
publish the truth about him, L. L.
Boise early this morning paid a call to
the Evening Statesman Office at a
time when he was sure no one would
BE- present and vented his wrath
against the plate glass windows in the
front of the building, which is owned
By George Mottet.
Saturdays Statesman published
story to the effect that Boise was on
his way to the fair grounds with a
woman of the Gemi-monde when his
wife stopped him and begged him to
60 home with his family, as they were
in need of the money he would spend.
He refused and invited his wife to go
with them. whereupon she slapped her
husband and his painted companion.
She made statements to a reporter,
telling how Boise was neglecting her
and spending his money on Infamous
women.
The Evening Statesman published
the story as it was given by an eye
witness to the affair, it being the only
paper in the city that did SO, although
all had heard of it at the same time

WdIld WdIId'S County Fair
Was Unqualified Success

After six days of the most unquali-
fled fun making ever enjoyed by Wat
la Wallans the annual county fair and
race meet came to a close last night
with a sacred concert by the Four
teenth Cavalry band and the choir cf
Saint PauPs Episcopal church, nun
dreds of people having been in at
tendance at both afternoon and even
ing concerts yesterday.
Good Attendance.
Even though the attendance the first
three days of the week was rot what
the management had hoped for, wnen
the weather man offered to let up on
Thursday, thousands of eager people
thronged the pavilion and the grand
stand, and Derby was one bly, day for
Walla Wallans. Again on Friday and
Saturday big crowds were in as
tendance, the attendance Saturday
having been the largest of the week.
The race program for the six weeks
was far better than had been offered
in previous years, and but for the un-
favorable weather it would nave vocn
next to impossible to handle the
crowds. The evening concerts given
by the Fourteenth Cavalry band and
by vocalists of the city proved to be
excellent drawing cards, and the big
pavilion was nightly filled with hun
dreds of people who were drawn tn1tn-
er by the excellent programs wI,vn
had been arranged.
Good Fruit Display.
Perhaps never since the discontinu-
been such an array of fruits and veg
etables of the valley placed on exhi-
bition as that given space in the pa
vilion last week. To the rivalry be-
tween the Milton and Freewater DIS
tricts is due much credit for the great
variety of showing.
Of special merit was the live stock
exhibit, which taxed the space in the
new stables.
One of the pleasing features of the
afternoon program was the daily CON-
cert given by the Walla Walla Con-
cert band. adding much to the interest
and filling up in most satisfactory
manner the lapses between the race
events Although the boys were forced
to play under adverse weather condi-
tions during the opening days OF the
fair, their selections were none the less
enjoyed.
