Collier Let it Out

In it's issue of March Is, 1908,
Golfers gave a list of congressman
who tried to draw constructive
mileage" OH account of an extra
session of congress. Since the
congressman had been in Washing
ton, d. c., all the while, the extra
session having followed regular
session, it was hard to figure out
how they had earned any mileage.
Thcv had not travelled single
mile. Yet Congressman Wesley
l.. Jones, as related i'll Golfers
Weekly of the date given, claimed
81. POO from the government OF inc
United States. Jones did his best
to draw the money, but the claim
was properly denied.

ORGANIZED LABOR
lNDORSE BRYAN
Mack Assured by Federation
Leaders of Fact

CHICAGO, Sept. ;. Assnranc es
that organized labor is for Bryan
md Kern were given last week by
delegation of labor men who visited
Charm an Mack at headquarters.
In the party was John ID. Lennon,
treasurer Of the American Fedora
ton of Labor, and John + itz-
Patrick, president, and Edward
NoChels, secretary of the Chicago
branch of the American Federaticn
of Labor. The organized labor in
Chicago is solid for the democratic
national ticket, with the exception
of the socialist vote.
All of Mack 5 callers are enthusi-
astc over the action of the Chicago
branch of the American Federation
of Labor in endorsing the course of
President Gompers, in declaring in
favor of the election of Bryan.
They say most of the Chicago pa
pcrs refused to tell the true story.
There were 400 delegates at the
mccting,' said Secretary Edward
NoChels. We had the fullest
discussion and the only opposi-
ton that developed was that of the
socialists. Their strength consist
ed of four votes. Not word was
uttered in favor of Taft and Sher-
man. This fact gives true line
on the attitude of organized labor.
We are for Bryan and our fight will
not be f-heartcd. The question
with laboring people is whether
they will support Bryan or side
with Van Cleave, who vouches for
Taft and Sherman. There will be
no hestancy in making choice. "
J. c. Donnelly of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers, was
another visitor. Donnelly has been
lifelong republican, and will cast
his first democratic vote this year.
My observation said Donnel
ly, is that the membership of our
organization is for Bryan, l have
been in Kansas. Michigan, Mime
sofa, Iowa and Illinois, and l
have encountered many of the
brotherhood who will cast their
first democratic vote this year.
They say they will not stand for
Taft and that the Denver platform
is satisfactory.

loss of New York; and this pre-
sents another of the combinations

SOME FIGURES ON
ELECTORAL VOTE
N, Bryan Must Get More Votes
Than Parker Got.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 81. With
the Roosevelt Parker figures as the
basis change of ninety eight cleo
torial votes is necessary to create a
tie in the electoral college between
Taft and Bryan. To be elected,
Mr. BRYAN must have ninety nine
more electoral votes than were cast
for Alton B. Parker. Mr.. Parker
obtained only 40 electoral votes
four years ago and Mr.. Roosevelt
had $50, majority of 100.
In the face of such figures Brv-
an victory this year would create a
precedent as a reversal of sentiment.
Rut marvellous shifts have occurred
in American politics. Cleveland's
majority of 152 i'll the college was
overcome by republicans i'll 1896,
and an advantage of 95 rolled up
for Mckinley.
That this years campaign is a
real and determined struggle, the
democrats in the debatable states
are confident and we'll organized
and that Mr.. Taft's election is far
from assured, are the only PROPOSE
tons definitely established thus
far.
In other words, the politicians of
both parties in the principal states
and the national managers of both
sides have substantial reasons for
knowing that the top-heavy ma
jority reaped by Roosevelt cannot
be handed along to Mr.. Taft.
The democrats see all excellent
chance of success, and are making
desperate play to win. The re-
republicans realize that their every
ounce of energy, their every re-
source available and their every
known device of vote getting are
necessary to prevent an overthrow
of their partv's domination.
Complex are the factors that are
figuring in the calculations of the
politicians. They are complex
nationally and complex i'll the
principal states, where the issue
will be decided. Brushing aside
details, the assertion most widely
being made is that Mr.. Bryan must
have New York to win. With
New York in the democratic col
umn, there are several combinations
considered as reasonable probabili-
ties, whereby Mr.. Bryan would be
installed in the White House.
One combination is the favorite
among democrats. This has the
Parker vote for its starting point,
minus the seven votes that Mary
land cast for the democratic candi-
Oates in 1904, since local conditions
minimize the democratic chances
in Maryland. The elimination of
Maryland core edes democratic
nuclues of 1873 from Alabama, Ar

Texas and Virginia the South
Republican talk of carrying Ken
lucky and Tennessee is heard, but
Ills not worth considering. The
additions that would accomplish a
democratic victory are:

that time the mountain states were
moved by the silver issue and SUD
ported Bryan OH that question.
They are now strongly pro-Roose-
welt and intensely radical
On the score of his western re-
cord, Roosevelt has had the ell
thusiastic support of thousands of
the mountain voters. The Big
Stick and the Roosevelt policies
i'll general are everything that
counts i'll the West. Yet BRYAN is
expected to outrun Taft in this ter
ritory. The logic is that Western
ers are their own masters in placing
their affections, that they cannot
be assigned over to Mr.. Taft and
that Mr.. Bryan in himself repre-
sents their way of thinking upon
the substance of the Roosevelt pol,
icies more than Mr.. taft. The re-
ports from the far west are very
favorable to Mr.. Bryan.
New York and Indiana are states
i'll which normally the alignments
between the two great parties has
been close. Traditions of our pol
itics have it that the two states go
together. There are local condi-
tons in each that strongly favor
the democratic ticket. The spec
ial correspondence of The Republic
from Indiana has shown that con-
ditionS there bear very positively
toward a democratic SUCCESS.
AS to New York, matters are
still very much up in the air. All
the New York political talk re-
wolves around the question whether
Governor Hughes will or will not
be nominated. One group of ex
perts predicts loudly that the re-
publicans will certainly be damned
if he is renominated, and another
asserts that the democrats are sure
to win if he is nominated. You
are justified in concluding that
there is a good chance this fall for
the democratic national and state
ticket in New York.
The tabulation above lists twelve
states as certainly democratic, with
total of 155 electoral votes. The
list of certainly republican states
contains the following.
Connecticut 7 n. Dakota 4
Maine Pennsylvania 81
Massachusetts, 10 Vermont 4
Rhode Island ! Michigan ~
Minnesota II
New Hampshire Total los
1t may seem surprising that
more certainly democratic votes are
allowed than certainly republican
votes. The democratic bias OF the
entire South offers the explanation.
In the debatable territory the reas-
enable probabilities favor the re-
publicans. In addition to the above
the states reasonably sure to go OFT
for Taft are:
California 10 Oregon 4
Illinois p
Ohio p Total o.
This. unless the election proves
a Bryan landslide and overwhelms
Taft in one of these later states,
gives him 1oS electoral votes.
Of course, those states named in
the Bryan combinations, excepting
the Southern CommOnwealths, are
considered to be debatable by the
republicans. Exclusive OF those
mentioned in the combination and
those otherwise enumerated, these
states are left:
Delaware 3 West Virginia 7

PLACE AND RUPTURE RE-
SUITS.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 49,
Bitter personalities between Attor-
ney Ach and the attorneys for the
prosecution marked the beginning
of the Ruef trial today. The wran-
gle was cut short by Judge Lawlor,
who declared he would take meas
ure to prevent a recurrence.
The quarrel arose over the ques-
tons propounded to James Gala
CHER, chief of the boodling board
of supervisors, as to the details of
signing of the immunity contract
between Rudolph Spreckels and
the members of the boodling board.
Attorney Johnson, for the prose
cution, objected to Ach delaying
the trial by repeating his ques-
tons. Ach replied he was saving
time.
THAT is like satan rebuking
SIM" declared Johnson. 1--WE can
show that every question just ask
ed was answered five questions
ago. We can show that counsel
asked such questions time and
again for the very purpose of de-
laying the trial, dishonorably we
think"
Il take exception to the remarks
of special counsel" stammered
Ach.
The ire of Attorney Sullivan, for
the people, was aroused and he de-
clared:
While we are on this subject
we will object to being designated
by opposing counsel as special
counsel We are here for the peo-
pie of the state. II counsel insists
upon making personal remarks we
suggest that the court administer
a little contempt medicine"
Here the court declared that no
more personalities would be toler-
ated.
