TAFT WORKS NIGHT
AND DAY ON SPEECH

Hot Springs, July 16.-William II.
Taft is working night as well as day
on his speech Of acceptance. He wants
to condense it into $500 words Last
night he sat down for a few minutes
in the lobby.
I'm going to pretend that have
a little leisure anyhow he said 1--WE
got to get back at that speech though
in a few minutes.
He was shown a Cincinnati dispatch
in which is old school principal said
that will Taft ALWAYS has been ahead
of his work; it never pushes him, as
it does most men"
Don't write him about this speech, "
said Mr.. Taft.
The candidate has the platforms of
the two parties, his own speeches and
those of Mckinley and Roosevelt, But
they don't entirely cover the subject" "
he said, "and have had to telegraph
for several papers and books. And it
all has to be Boiled into $500 words.
That's about three columns in a news,
paper, isn't it?"
Arthur |. Vorys, of Ohio will be
here tomorrow.

hold its meeting here Aug. 6 and will
be addressed by Mr.. Taft

New Dickey Bird Trap.
The members of the Brunswick gun
club will hold their last practice be-
fore the big tournament at Cumber-
land this afternoon, and it is expected
that all those who are going to shoot
in the tournament will be out
A handsome new Dickey Bird trap
arrived in the city yesterday. 1t was
put up and tested and today it will
be erected temporarily Cn the gun
club grounds in order that the mem
bers may have their last practice. The
new trap is the very latest and will
probably be used in the Cumberland
tournament. 1t is of a different type
from the expert traps, which are now
used by the club, and can be worked
as rapidly as three of the expert
traps, while it takes only one boy to
load it, The members seem well
pleased with the new trap but they
will be given a good opportunity to
test it this afternoon.

DEMOCRATS HAVE
A FINE CHANCE
REALIZE THAT
FIGHT THIS YEAR.

Washington, July 16.-In the view
the democrats have started well at
Denver. 1t is candidly admitted by
prominent republicans here that the
beginning of the campaign is under
more auspicious circumstances for the
democrats than at. any period of the
party's history since 1892. No one at
tempted oaccount for the fact that
harmony seems to have prevailed at
Denver to an unusual extent, and that
the whole party machinery seems to
have been better oiled than at any
time for sixteen years. The only
explanation offered is that the hand
of the man at the throttle was that
|Of more seasoned engineer than in
past years. Mr.. Bryan, according to
shrewd Observers, has learned some
things. Years have brought with
them the knowledge of placating op-
posing elements, instead of putting
them at each others throats.
Men who ten days ago declared
that Bryan had no earthly chance of
election in November now admit that
the beginning made at Denver is such
as to insure a rattling campaign and
possibly, democratic victory 1t all
depends, they believe upon whether
the democratic campaign is conduct
ed from now on with the same smoth-
ness as the preliminary stages. If it
is November may bring tidings of a
change in government control.
There is little question, in the minds
of politicians here that the fight to
be made by Mr. Bryan will be in the
west and middle west. That it is
pointed out, is plainly shown in the
platform. Mr.. Bryan went out of his
way to put up a platform that would
catch the western people. and
plainly as if he had said it himself the
declaration of principles of the demo-
cratic party appeals to western senti-
ments and thoughts Mr.. Bryan will
depend fer his election upon the south
with Nebraska, Kansas, Wisconsin.
Minnesota, Illinois, Indiana and the
Dakotas, and he expects to give Mr..
Taft great fight in Ohio, where the
republican party is still torn with dis
sention. It is doubtful according to
political reasoning here, if the demo
Gratis will give the slightest attention
ITO a single eastern state, unless it is
New York. And whether they will do
! that will depend upon the develop
ments in the entire state.
Mr. Bryan plainly says to the coun-
try that he has studied sentiment in
the west. and that he believes it will
be with him in November.

that while this congress has been

years ago when after democratic
administration there was large sur
plus In the treasusry and men were
saying that a surplus was an invita-

statesman said that 1T was easier to
handle surplus than deficit

After having wound up the almost
twelve years OF republican power

soual domination Of the United States

faces the electorate OF the nation with
a sixty million dollar deficit in the
treasury and commercial depres-
