will give the state to Taft, and give
him the presidency. The count will
show.
Mr. Wellman goes on to say that the
hot and heavy fighting has shifted
from the western states to the indus
trial states east of Chicago. Here the
labor vote is heavy and local conli-
tons are abnormal and all working
against the success of Mr.. Taft.
Ohio" says Mr.. Wellman, lis des-
perate fighting ground, with the
chances, in my opinion, in Bryan's
favor. Indiana seems hopelessly lost
to Taft But if New York stands, Taft
can easily win without Ohio and In
DIANA
The closeness of the fight, and Its
uncertainty is shown by the summary
Of the situation by Mr. Wellman when
he says:
Republicans Know It..
mo matter what the republican lead
ers may say for publication, I happen
to know they. are we'll aNGre of the
closeness of the vote in many states.
For example, they talk of 100000 for
Taft in Illinois. Their actual expecta-
ton is less than half of this. They
talk of 100000 in Wisconsin, but they
really look for about 10000. Iowa they
regard as perfectly safe, but they are
not boasting of the size of the plural
ity Kansas they admit is close, prob
ably not more than 10000 which Is
too close for comfort. Nebraska is 20
uncertain that the republicans Who
talk sense and drop rainbow chasing
say they will be content if they squeeze
through with anything to the good.
In the mountain states losses or
electoral votes compared with four
years ago are expected. Colorado
uncertain, Wyoming is admittedly
doubtful, with Taft having the best or
it under the able leadership of Senator
Warren Montana is probably Tor
Bryan, although Senator Carter reports
thac he has a fighting chance and
could surely win out if virtually all ct
the labor vote ia Butte had not GO
pell neil to Bryan. Carter says he can
lose Butte by 5000 and still save the
state by $500. but other republicans
are not so optimistic

Bryan, the republicans have named for
governor man very popular among
the miners, Ed Donlan, and that help
some. The general expectation is that
Donlan is the only republican on the
ticket who will carry the state.
Utah is republican and Idaho also
by reduced but safe pluralities Ne
vada is fighting ground. the republi
cans say, as Hearst has gone in there
with his ticket, splitting up the demo
cratic vote and leaving a chance for
the Taft electors to squeeze out a bare
plurality. All these are inside rac,s
at the republican headquarters from
confidential reports
A like situation is set out in sum
mary of the presidential contest print
ed in the New York Herald of Sunday
October IS. In this article also New
York is made the one great stumbling
block in the path to the presidency
In commenting on this situation the
Herald says:
New York Is Pivot.
New York is to be the great center
of the conflict at the very end of the
campaign. Mr.. Bryan, it is said, now
realizes that he must have he thirty
nine electoral votes of New Yn' k Or he
cannot be elected to the presidency

that if he loses New York he viii lose

highly respected of the old pioneers

HIGH SCHOOL
FAILS TO SCORE,

IN game whose result was in real
ity victory, Walla Walla high
school played Pendleton to a standstill
the score at the end of the game being
0 to O.
Walla Walla put up d magnificent
defense, but her offense was extreme
ly weak nothing but old style ball be
ing PLAYED. Under the rules of three
years ago, the game would have been
a good one, but under present rules
it was obsolete and uninteresting.
Pendleton outWeighed the local team
at least eight pounds to the man. Big
Tracy Baker, who played with PEN
dleton's league team last summer in
the four city baseball league. played
full back, was captain and run the
signals. Other men were just as big
ami that Walla Walla held the Ore
gon lads the way she did was a mar
ve!
Maggie and Jones did the playing for
Walla Walla. They played a fast.
steady and consistent game They
went down the field like a shot out of
a gun and were fast and heady at all
times
Walla Walla must however. brace
on offense. Open playing must be her
salvation. She has team that can
hold anything she is likely to meet
but against a heavy line she can do
nothing. If Cochran gets his men to
playing the new rules they will wipe
UP anything in this part of the coun
try. Perfection in forward passes, on
side kicks and more open and trick
plays would make Walla Walla hard
to catch. !.
The halves We're 20 and 25 minutes
in length. Tom butcher was referee.

a plank sidewalk, putting in a new

25 years ago, following one-horse po-

It is sincerely to be hoped that the
coal operators and miners in Wyo-
ming may md q speedy solution Of
their diniculties.. Idle m~n to the mum.
Der Of 5000 means suffering first for
their own families and later for the
little ones Of men whose occupation
depends upon the coal industry of the
state. Already railroad crews are be-
ing laid on owing to the decrease Of
tonnage, and numerous lines Of labor
will ultimately be affected. The sit
uation, If prolonged for any length Of
time, means industrial suicide for the
state at time when its business was
recovering most enthusiastically from
the effects of the panic in the east
last fall. 1t seems that neither side
will permit the situation to be termed
a strike, the men having simply laid
down their tools at the expiration of
the contract which expired August
31st, and It having been impossible
thus far for those concerned to formu-
late q new agreement. Both sides
claim q speedy settlement will be at
fecteds and all citizens of the state
impiore operators and employees to lis.
ten to reaso and to come to an under.
standing. at once. Now is the time
for mutual coneessions-not after
thousands of dollars have been sacri,

loss Of property.

Quartermaster General Aleshire, in
a recent interview with a St. Louis
newspaper man. said that a movement
Is on foot to establish a government
breeding farm. possibly In Colorado, to
raise model cavalry horses. The idea
is to restore the old Morgan type of
horses, they being best suited for the
uses Of the cavalry in the opinion Of
those most vitality Interested. 1t
would e that Wyoming stockrais.
ers might nnd food for thought and
action in the announcement. The
subject Is one that has been up from
time to time for several years." said
General Aleshire. land some day l
hope that a iefnite move win be made
in that direction. Good horses are hard
to get and any stock country that will
pay particular attention to raising the
types OF horses needed for the army
will ind a steady and profitable mar
