FRIGHT NOT CAUSE
ON TAFT'S TOURING
Republican Leaders Declare
BRYAN Is Mistaken in
His SurmiSe.

NEW YORK, Sept. 7.-Republican
campaign officers emphatically decline 10
admit that Mr.. Bryan is right in his
surrnise that Mr. Taft is going on the
stump because he IS scared.
They explained that a month ago he
was overwhelmed with invitations to
speak. and in order 10 end enbarrass-
ments. It was decided to give out fat
announcements that he would not stump
at all. This damned the deluge and
gave time to consider where it would
be desirable 10 speak. If at all The
decision has been made, and, therefore,
announcement that a tour will be made
follows.
The truth apparently is tat both
candidates and both campaign commit
tees sIe scared. III. Bryan is going
to invade the East. not because he is
sure Of the West. but because he is
so uncertain about the West that he
wants 10 take chance of annexing
something East. Likewise Taft viii go
West. not because he is dead sure OF
the East, but because he is worried
about the West.
The Indiana story is that about six
weeks ago a poll was made by the Re
pabIicans which showed the Democrats
would carry their State ticket by a good
round majority, and that the Demo-
cratic national ticket. trailing some
20,O00 behind the State ticket, would
have little better than an even chance
TO carry the state.
Second Poll on Now.
A second poH Is being finished. and
shows that the Republican national
ticket has gained decidedly; that Kern
has added little to Democratic strength;
that Taft is safe and gaining; that
chances are stilI against the Republican
State ticket. but that 1t too, is gaining.
AS 10 Ohio, the silence of the Repub-
lican managers is eloquent. They say
no peace has been made with Foraker,
and Taft has no Senatorial candidate; ;
that is, Foraker is being let alone, and
has an even chance for his white alley
without national interference. The truth
is that both national committees are
coming to realize that the doubtful
territory extends nearly everywhere.
Mr.. TAFT may carry everything North.
and three or four States South. Then
again Mr.. Bryan may get the solid
South and q big sweep in the middle
West, far West and middle Fest. And
there is growing feeling that the differ
ence between a Republican and a Demo-
cratic landslide may be caused by the
change of a mighty small number Of
the popular votes. Margins are going
to Sc small Taft Is unexpectedly
strong south: Bryan is surprisingly
strong North
Result VIII Be Close
II would not be surprised" said a
nolitician who has been many years on
one of the national committees, "if the
winner should nave one hundred ma
ioritv in the Electoral College, and if
he has I would not be surprised To
6nd on a calculation that the change
~ 30 COO votes would have given the
other man one hundred majority in the
democrats are Immensely pleased that
taft is going on tie stump. They re
ord ii an admission Of weakness, and

Favored by perfect weatiie- condi-
tions and with the District shore Of the
Potomac and Aqueduct bridge lined
with spectators, the forenoon program
OF the Middle States Rowing Regatta.
which is being run under the auspices
OF the Potomac Boat Club. OF Wash
ington, furnished thrilling finishes and
some of the best exhibitions Of water
manship ever seen on the upper river.
The feature event of the day, and the
winning of which meant more than any
other number on the morning program.
was the junior eight-oared race between
four of the most evenly matched crews
that have ever rowed in competition on
the Potomac
After gTueling struggle. with first
one and then another crew taking the
lead, the Potomac Boat Club crew. Of
Washington, by calling into play all
their neIve and squirting at g killing
pace forged scant few yards ahead of
The Arundels.
Until the four crews reached the
bridge all We're abreast. The POtOmaCs
were on the south side, the Arundels
next, tae Ariels next and the Virginia
crew on the District side. Coming from
under the shadow Of the bridge the
Potomacs shot ahead but only for d
few yards
The Virginias increased their stroke
from % to g, and made up the difference
with the ATundels doing likewise At
the three quarters the POtOmaCs gained
a lead that was never headed, Arundel
barely beating the Ariels for the place
with the NirgInias close up-
The sport was OF the highest class.
The entrants were quick TO respond to
the word, there was little or no delay
IN getting the crews off to good starts,
and with the exception OF the senior
four-oared-gig race the competition for
first hOnCrs was hard fought and the
finishes close and exciting.
The victory of George ". Allison, Of
the West Philadelphia Boat Club in
the junior singles. which brought out
eleven competitors. was the sensation
OF the morning.
How Allison Won.
Allison in position No. 8 got of to
flying start and soon had a lead Of a
length ahead Of the others, who re-
NAMED well punched, no open water
separating them, until the bridge was
reached
The winner shot out from under the
bridge with his advantage Of one
length increased by several yards. A
few seconds later the prOws OF the
evenly were they matched that a taut
line stretched from the north bank Of
the river to the south shore would have
touched the bow of every boat except
Allison, and one other which was bad
ly out Of the running, six boat lengths
behind.
As the men left the shade of the
bridge SergJ. p. Martin. of the Univer-
sity Barge Club of Philadelphia. shot
TO the front From then on Ellison.
Martin, and c. d. Davis, of the PO-
tomac Club, fought 1t out for first hon
ors. Ellison, the youngest and lightest
man in the race, proved to have the
best staying qualities. and with a mag
niflCent spurt managed to beat Davis
for first hOnOrs, with Martin a close
third.
