MACK SEES VICTORY
Democratic National Chairman
Declares That Bryan Will
Garry East and West.
REPORTS SHOW RISING TIDE
Ohio, Indiana and New York in the
Democratic Column.

Norman +. Mack. chairman OF the
Democratic national committee, is con-
fident of the election of Mr.. Bryan as
president. In statement summing
up the situation he said
Three weeks ago it was apparent
that the tide had turned toward De
nocracy, and that every outward evil
dence pointed to Democratic victory
in November. The situation is far bet
ter now than then, and | am confident
in the belief that Mr.. Bryan will be
elected president. In fact, the cam
paign. from the Democratic viewpoint
has steadily improved with each sue
ceeding week. AS Mr. Bryan has pre-
scented the issues in various sections
Of the country. the people have become
more and more convinced that his
election is for the permanent pros
perity and best interests OF the nation
"Of the many reports have received
from the various states there has not
been one discouraging to our cause On
the other hand. all of our information
has indicated that there will be re-
markable decrease in the Republican
vote. and this statement applies alike
to the banner Republican state OF
Pennsylvania as well as to states like
New York. Ohio, and Indiana Mr.
Bryan will not only receive the major
itv Of the electoral vote, but one of the
greatest popular votes ever given
candidate.

everastingly at it for the remaining
two weeks of the campaign. Our re-
ports have been of such an encourage
ing nature that | have at times had
fears least some Of those on duty
would in their enthusiasm. let up IN
the fight, and my parting word TO those
at Headquarters is that they continue
their efforts just as aggressively as II
the contest had to be won in the de-
clning days of the campaign.
THE Democratic party has greater
membership than the Republican party.
The only question with us in recent
wears has been to get our tolks TO-
gether in harmonious and united pha-
lanX. I do not believe there is DEM
ocrat i'm the entire country who is out
side of the breastworks in this cam
paign. and that is the greatest reason
to my mind why Mr.. Bryan Will be
inaugurated president on March next.
7 will not attempt to give figures but
will say now that New York, ohio, and
Indiana are Democratic this year, ana

sideratiOn a number OF other states
that will swing from the RepuDllcah

Republicans Pass the Lie.
Republican campaign managers nave
been endeavoring to create the I'M
nression that James Duncan, first wee
president Of the American Federatloh
Of Labor, is not in sympathy with the
labor movement advocated by Mr.
Gompers. urging union labor to sup
mort its friends and defeat its enemies
in the present campaign. Mr. duncan
was advised of this fact and asked 10
state his attitude in the matter HIS
reply is explicit and gives the lie 10

light.
