Political managers at the out st oI
campaign cast mp votes Of which
they may reasonably be certain and
what votes they must secure from III,
doubtful elements In order to win
They know certain states In "A Pres
idential contest can be carried for
their candidates and that others will
nc carried for the opposition. The
territory that Is hopeless to their
cause they abandon or only work In
.or the purpose cf misleading the en-.
cmy. while they concentrate their en-
crgics On holding what they have and
getting the doubtful states.
In the Hcralds resume no politi-
clans word Is taken as TO what states
are conceded To either party or what
states are designated as doubtful.
The records of past elections are fol.
lowed. and due weight given to the
living forces and the important fac
tors that are to be employed In the
campaign now opening with vigor. A
change overnight might a little later

one or more states. States that are
considered safely Republican or safe

governor or by a slip In speech by
. candidate. be properly lifted from
ssNl ~ hA nj hAr nIn
among those that are doubtful. II
Is not expected that either National
Committee will agree entirely with
the resume. Designations which will
please the Republicans will displcase
the Democrats. while the reverse Is
the case with an alignment which
places In the doubtful column states
On which Mr.. Hitchcock claims To
have n mortgage.
For instance. Mr.. Bryan will object
to the classification OF California as
gers will find fault with the placing
of Wisconsin, the territory OF Sena-
tor La Toilette. whose platform was
adopted at Denver. In the doubtful
column.
In order TO resolve the fighting
ground for the Presidency into terri
tory clearly defined Il Is possible to
apportion the states that each candi-
date will carry In all probability as

Sneak Thieves on Broad Street

Snee TX Thieves on Broad Street.
A few nights since, sneak thieves
were busy on Broad street. The resi-.
dence of Miss Carrie Moore was en-
tered from the rear so that the thieves
secured access to refrigerator. Some
butter and meat were taken from
there and carried off.
At the same time practically the
rear Of Mrs. Charles E. Elmer's resi-.
dence. directly adjoining, was broken
open fIom the rear, and the refrigsr-
ator there was robbed of eggs and
meat. The property of the latter was
damaged little by the thieves making
an entrance.
Reports from other places about
town indicate that the petty sneak
thieves are becoming decidedly bold
and are working good deal. Many
losses of clothes from laundry lines are
reported.
