TREND TOWARDS BRYAN
Review Of Political Situation in Var.
lous States Shows the Nebraskan
Will Sweep the Country In a
Land Slide.

A careful review Of the political
situation throughout the country,
conyinces Democratic managers that
William ]. Bryan Is practically as
sured Of election to the presidency.
In a dozen or more states running
from Connecticut In the East all
through the middle west and even
to the Pacific Coast, the Republicans
are confronted with factional fights
within threi own lines, while ev-
erywhere from Coast to Coast the
Democrats are united as they have
no been since 1892. The trend of
sentiment is Enthusiastically for Bry-
an, while the popular planks of
the Democratic platform, such as
the guarantee Of bank deposits, tar
III revision, antiiniunction, publici-
ty Of campaign funds, the election
ct United States Senators by direct
vote Of the people, the prohibition
Of Asiatic immigration and many 9TH
ers are bringing thousands of Re-
publicans and Independents to the
support Of the Democratic ticket. 6
Hence the Democrats regard Mr..
Bryan's election not as a possibl.
ity but as q strong probability.
In the following states with an,
aggregate Of 100 votes in the, cleo,
toral college. the Republicans are
making 11a no campaign worthy Of the
name. and the only question con-
corning them . "a size Of the. Dem
ocratic majority IN each: SOP {

doubtful, and should give Bryan an
even break with his opponent.

doubtful, and should give Bryan an
even break with his opponent.
Bryan's personal popularity and
the plank guaranteeing bank depos-
lbs make Nebraska absolutely safe
for the Democracy. Democrats have
no misgivings whatever about Mr..
Bryan's home state. Kansas is un-
questionably as strong for Bryan to
day as 1t was IN 1896. Kansas wants
tariff revision, Kansas wants bank
deposits guaranteed. and Kanass does
MT want Joecannonism. The Kansas
farmers are for Bryan and will carry
the state for him, labor will help
and so will the colored men men OF
the state whose support Taft has
alienated by his attitude toward the
race.
Colorado has always stood Loyalty
by Bryan and there is no reason to
believe that 1t will do otherwise this
year. Democrats regard it as safe.
Wyoming may 60 Republican, Utah
Is close. Idaho is fighting ground,
as are also the three Pacific coast
states Of California Oregon and
Washington. In California especially
where there Is almost unanimous ap-
proval Of the prohibition Of Asiatic
immigration as expressed in the
Democratic platform, and upon which
the Republican platform is silent,
there is a good chance for Democra-
cy this year. OF course the influence
of the Southern Pacific railroad is
enormous and naturally with Harrima
at its Head is opposed to the success
Of Bryan, but even this may be ov-
ercome.
Thus there are, with the solid
south and the six Democratic states
OF Missouri, Kentucky, Oklahoma, Mon
tana, Nevada, and Maryland 172 votes
for Bryan at the outset.
In addition to these Bryan must
get 70 votes to win.
As shown, these states are reas-
onably Democratic, West Virginia, In
diana, Nebraska, Kansas and Colora-
do. They have As votes, thus bring
ing Mr.. Bryan within rs votes Of
the goal.
New York and Ohio are probably
Democratic. New York alone, with
those already mentioned as Demo
cratic, would be sufficient. Ohio and
one other small state, such as Idaho,
Utah, Washington, Oregon, Delaware
or Rhode Island would be enough.
These states are doubtful, Illinois,
Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota,
South Dakota, Idaho, Utah, Connect
cut and Rhode Island.
There is good fighting chance
in Michigan, Iowa, Washington, Ore
gon and California. Democrats look
for a landslide, similar to that of
1892, and are confident of Bryan's
election.

likewise Nevada with three votes
Is admitted by Republicans to be
PROFESSIONALLY for Bryan.
Because Kentucky which in 1896
when thousands OF Democrats bolt.
ed Bryan chose IL out of 10 Repub-
hcan electors by a majority Of
less than 300, and because last
year when local issues divided the
Democrats that state also elected
a Republican governor, the Repubh-
cans are making fight there this
year. Under normal conditions how.
ever Kentucky is Democratic state
and conditions are normal in Ken
lucky this year. The Democrats are
united as they never have been in
16 years; those who left the party
IN 1896 have returned and are work
ing Loyalty for the Democratic tick
ct. As a matter OF truth the Re
pubhcans do not epect to carry the
state. and are only putting up fight
to annoy the Democrats who are
absolutely confident of success.
There are three states whose
political history during the past
eight years is particularly interest
ing In the light Of present condi-
lions. These states are Missouri,
Montana and Maryland 1t should
not be supposed, IN fact it can
not well be asserted BY any Repub-
dcan that in these states, or in
any others in fac, William H.
TAFT will prove a more popular can
didate before the .yotsrs than was
Theodore Roosevelt. Neither can

What Are They Runnino On

Judge Taft and other eminent spell
binders Of the Republican party are
running around the country pointing
to the Republican rule for the last
twelve years and telling the dear
voters that the Republican candidate
stand on the record Of the party.
Along comes Joe Bristow, he Of
Asiatic labor and soft snap fame,
who is running for senator In this
state as the Republican nominee,
and says, 1--WE are not asking for
votes on our pastrecord, but be-
cause Of the policies we stand for
now" The question now Is, what Is
he standing for that is original
with him, and Is he ashamed Of
It? 1t their past Is bad, as he
must think It is, what guarantee
have we Of their future.

Whah ILLINOIS Needs.

The lower house of the Illinois legis.
lature recently passed an appropriation
bill carrying $4,000 to pay the ex-
penses of the legislative investigating
committee. he total cost of the in
quiry thus far is now $4,000.
The house also passed an appropria.
ton bill carrying $4,000 to pay for
printing and other expenses incurred
during the hangover sessions of the
legislature.
One thing the present republican leg
islature has been particularly efficient
in doing is appropriating the peoples
money. Legislation providing for spend
ing of the peoples money always glides
through swiftly and almost uninter
ruptedly. but when the people want
some inexpensive protective legisla
ton that will set up barrier against
selfish corporation entertainments. OIL
against the advances of powerful but
corrupt political combines, great snags
are struck with the result that tbs
people get little legislation they need
and if they do get it it comes badly
disfigured or handcuffed by clauses pro
viding for technical evasion.
What Illinois most needs just now /:
democratic governor, and demo
cratic legislature composed of demo
cratic democrats.
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1908-05-26

Never in the worlds history, before
our day, was a nation saved by youths
in their teens. In the stirring years of
Father Abraham, these boys came for
ward by the tens of thousands, in re-
Spouse to the call to arms.
War expenditures reached $6,000,-
100000.
During the war $1,000 were killed in
battle.
The records also show that 43,O12
died of wounds.
Disease claimed 224,5S6.
And 24,S72 persisted from other
causes.
There were 100000 wounded in bat
tie.
Between all these dread disasters, it
is wonder that even a remnant of-the
Grand Army of the Republic survives !;
and it should ever be the pride and
pleasure ~ this American republic to
remember the debt owed to the boys
of 81.
Happily, all soldiers who have sur
vived forty years after the close of
the war Ito quote the language of the
lawo are now entitled to a service
pension"

To Report After the Election.

The secretary of the antitrust league
appeared the other day before con-
gressional committee and being under
oath made statements to this effect:
The gentleman charged that Andrew
Carnegie, E. H. Gerry and other prom
inent officials of the steel trust had al
ready raised great sums of money for
the nomination of Secretary Taft. He
insisted that If given an opportunity to
produce his evidence he would be able
to prove the case. And now it appears
that the senate judiciary committee
will do what all the other republican
committees and dignitaries have been
doing, order an investigation and a re-
port after the election.
After the election. 1t is wonderful
how great is the popularity of that
