Declares That Bryan win
Garry East and West.
REP0RTs sHOW RIsINa TIDE
Ohio. Indiana and New York In the
Democratic Column.

/
Three weeks ago II was apparen
mat the tide had turned toward d.
mocracy, and that every outward evi
denee pointed 10 a Democratic victor,
70 November. The situation Is far BET
yer now than then, and ] am confiden
10 the belief that Mr.. Bryan will 5,
elected president In fact, the cam
paign, from the Democratic viewpoint
mas steadily improved with each sue
ceeding week. Az Mr.. Bryan has pre-
scented the issues In various sections
OK the country, the people have become
more and more convinced that his
election is for the permanent pros
perlty and best interests Of the nation
~ the many reports have received
from the various states there has moi
been one disc0uraging 10 our cause. On
tho other hand, an OF our information
mas indicated that there viii be a re.
markable decrease In the Republican
vote, and this statement applies alike
% the banner Republican state OF
FennsylYania as well as to states like
New York, Ohio. and Indiana. Mr..
Bryan will not only receive the major.
lty Of the electoral vote. but one of the
greatest popular votes ever given a
candidate
Says Fight 10 Won.
The fight IL won, but we must keep
eyeriastingly at II for the remaining
Two weeks of the campaign. Our re.
ports have been Of such an encourag.
Ing nature that | have at times had
Tears least some OF those on duty
would, In their enthusiasm, let up IN
the hight. and my parting word to those
&C headquarters Ia that they continue
their efforts just as aggressiveIy as IL
the contest had to be won ia the de-
clining days of the campaign
ne Democratic party has greater
membership than the Republican party.
The only question with us in recent
years has been to get our folks to.
sether In harmonious and united mia.
lanx. do not believe there 10 a Dem.
ocrat In the entire country who IL out
side Of the hreastworks in this cam.
paign, and that Is the greatest reason
20 my mind why Mr. Bryan will be
lnaugurated president on March next.
VIII not attempt 10 give figures, but |
VIII say now that New York, Ohio, and
Indiana are Democratic this year, and
my prediction does not take into con.
sideration a number of other states
hat will swing from the Republican

Republicans Pass the Lie.
Republican campaign managers have |
been endeayoring to create the I'm. |
'reSsion that James Duncan, first vice
PRESIDENT of the American Federation
y Labor. Is not in sympathy with the
abor movement advocated by Mr..
i0mpera, urging union labor to sun.
'ort its friends and defeat It's enemies
q the present campaign. Mr.. Duncan
vas advised OF this fact and asked to
tate his attitude In the matter. His
eply u explicit and gives the lie to
NO Republican managers who have
.een seeking to place him in false
light.
