gers, however, view the matter with
considerable complacency, for it
shows that the Republicans have
discovered i, is necessary to look
after the labor vote even IN such a
state as Pennsylvania with its enor-
nous Republican majority, and they
draw the conclusion that IN many
other states the labor vote will be
almost solid for the Democratic
ticket.
There is, however, doubt in the
DemUcratIc optimism, Tor It is
feared that many labor votes NAV
go after the false god of Hearstism,

IN the states where the Democrats
need them more especially.

large percentage of the voters IN

a compact organization and cam

Mr.. Bryan has appealed to every
Democratic newspaper to open a

their readers the necessity of giving

will be met. The legitimate ex.
