Maryland is in the doubtful column
and In the doubtful column to stay until
the ballots are counted on the evening
Of November next. A month ago the
state was sure for Taft and the indi-
cations at that time were that Bryan
would have mighty good luck If he polled
as many votes in Maryland as he did
eight years ago. Today, however, con-
ditions have changed and Bryan is cas-
lily in the betting in this state.
The change in prospects is due to sew
eral causes. In the first place the army
of unemployed in the big cities in this
state were given to understand that the
wheels of industry would begin to re-
volve again when Taft had been nom-
mated. For some reason or other, how
ever, the wheels have failed to revolve
again, as promised, and thousands OF
men are seeking any kind of employ
ment. Skilled mechanics who used to
earn from IS to IS a day are now ekinS
out an existence for their families on
jobs that net them from 50 to SIS a week.
