whether he or she will live or not
The primary conditions OF longevity
are that the heart, lungs and digestive
organs, as well as the brain, should
be large. If these organis are large

comparatively short. The person will

ROOSEVELT DYNASTY
Is Foreseen by Norman Mack If the
Republicans Win.

Chicago, Oct. 5.-Returning to Chi
cago today to take up the Democratic
campaign direction in the west, Nor
man E. Mack. chairman of the Demo-
cratic national committee declared
that the tide was strong for Bryan
in the east, and that If the Democrats
could hold their advantage there the
Democratic ticket would be surely
elected. To the Associated Press Chair
man Mack gave the following state
ment on his arrival here today:
Il have been three weeks in the east,
where 1 have studied the political sit
uation from every angle. 1 have noted
every drift and current and today 1
am prepared to say that If we hold the
steady gains we have made in the last
TWO months the election is ours. New
ork Is going Democratic, in fact there
VIII be landslide for Bryan in the
Empire state. New Jersey, Rhode ISL
and, Maryland, Delaware and Ohio will
also be found in the Democratic
column.
The reports from state and county
chairmen in the middle west are equal
ly encouraging. Indiana is safely Dem
ocratic; even the Republicans do not
seriously claim it,
Mr.. Mack said that President Roose-
Velt's letter had helped the Democrats.
and Congressman Longworth's declara
ton that the country would have eight
years of Taft, after which Mr. Roose-
welt would be president for eight years,
merely confirmed what has been plain
Tor some time, that the president was
seeking to establish and perpetuate a
Roosevelt dynasty" The chairman
will be in Chicago for several days.
