NEW Yc6E, Sept. 7.-Following
Mack's announcement of the Eastern
campaign committee, there have been
some developments indicating a purpose
to transfer the scene Of the real Demo-
cratic struggle in the campaign from
the Middles West to the East. Whether
this indicates a disposition TO drop the
night in the West or simply TO take on
the East and MAKE the hght more gem
eral than has heretofore been antiei-
pated can only be eonjeetured at this
time. Certain it is that whereas only
few days ago many Democrats were
disposed to fall back on the argument
that Bryan coulc be elected without the
East. and to insist that even though
New York so Republican. he might pull
through, at present headquarters ener-
gies are being devoted in a surprising
measure to organization for an ami
mated campaign in the East

were planned TO PICK out a restricted
list of States considered doubtful and
confine the struggle largely TO them.

THAT is about what we have in mind
All this talk about the South is non
sense. The South Is 70" Bryan. Ialk
about Georgia, Tennessee, Missouri, and
Kentucky IS hot air. Those States are
for Bryan, and are amply able 10 take
care of themselves. There viii be a
concentration Of energy in the Middle
East-in New York, Connecticut, New
Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, West Vir-
ginia, and Ohio"

sure that The right kind OF man sue
eeeded 10 the Jersey leadership, and the
opinion here is that he would have pre-
ferred the retention OF Hudspeth even
though It involved his serving In both
positions.
But for some reason the Jersey people
induced Mr. Mack to make the Hue-
speth appointment without previously
stimulating as to the State chairman
ship. AS a result, the Smith organiza-
ton, as soon as Hudspeth announced
his resignation Of the State chairman
ship, selected Joseph r. Nugent. city
counsel Of Newark and Democratic boss
OF Essex county, to be State chairman.

Jersey IS properly branded ~ the Re

Moreover. many OF them doubt whether
the Democrats seriously intend 70 make
much night in such States. They sug-
gest that talk is cheap, and that the

A small toy theatre stage presents
the best setting for the trick, al
though it can be done on an ordinary
table, but with the stage setting by
far the best effects may be obtained.
You can easily fashion a set OF
mountain scenery by cutting out
mountains from colored pictures in
old magazines and setting them up
either in the Sits of the stage or on
small wooden stand mounts if you
have no toy theatre.

IL with piece of fine thread about a
foot in length and run it lengthwise
through the body of the paper eagle.
The most important thing Of all to
secure is a very strong magnet. You
place the theatre or table in such a
way as to enable you to stand direct
ly behind the stage, where you can
use both hands at the same time
Take the magnet in your right hand
and place it at the point marked A
behind the mountain and out of sight
Of the audience.
The needle-eagle starts to fly to-
ward the invisible magnet. You in
stantly check its flight by pulling
backward on the thread, the end Of
which you have grasped in your left
hand.
Now you gradually move the invis-
ible magnet upward in the direction
indicated 10y the dotted lines.
The astonished audience sees the
eagle slowly fly up the mountain side.
This seeming miracle is easily accom-
plished by holding the thread end so
that the attracted needle-eagle will
be just far enough away to get the
full strength of the hidden magnets
