CHUNKS OF GLOOM HIT
STAID OLD WASHINGTON
By RAYMOND.

WASHINGTON, Sept 2t.-Since
Mr.. Bryan turned his footsteps east
ward the Republicans have enjoyed
their first real scare of the campaign
They we're going along passiveiy
enough for awhile, but most OF the re.
ports of Mr.. Bryan's meetings In the
west seem to indicate that. while he
may yet arouse as much enthusiasm
as of yore. he seems to be convincing
people better than he did In the olden
days.
In any event the first real Bryan
scare OF the season Is on, and II has
taken possession Of great many solid
Republicans who ought to know bet
ter.
People who have been with Mr..
Bryan during his western trip say he
can carry every state he did In 1900
and a good many more. or course,
he will have to carry more or be hope
lessly in the rear. These enthusiasts
some Of whom are private citizens,
some admiring Democratic politicians
some newspaper correspondents, have
undoubtedly become impressed with
the effect OF Bryan's speeches In the
west, and one man with whom talked
insisted the Democratic candidate
would carry every doubtful state ives,
of the Missouri. My Informant some
what dulled the edge OF his enthusi
asm by including pretty much all the
states west of the Missouri in the
doubtful column.
Washington Is simply filed with
rumors~ and dark forebodings as to
what Bryan Is to do in Kansas or In
Minnesota. II Is a matter OF current
gossip today that Iowa was hopelessly
Democratic now because Gov. Cum.
minis and Maj. Lacey have been pitted
against each other for Allison's seat
In the senate. People from New York
have heard awful things OF the politi-
cal stew In Indiana, and those west OF
Michigan are Mortified at the outlook
in New Jersey.
Bryan has fighting chance and he
Is justified In taking IT, but political
scares like the one which has just
begun are seldom justified by anything
at all in the conduct OF the campaign
II would be unfair 10 the Democrats
to suppose the Republican plurality OF
four years ago Is a normal one. Roose-
welt was immensely popular In the
country and he was opposed by a
colorless candidate. II would not be
at all unreasonable to suppose mum

er might be won by Bryan by little
hard work. Allowing for the increase
In the size Of the electoral college, II
would not be astonishing II Mr. Bryan
should build up vote approximating
that he received In 1896.
Some OF the more democratic
thusiasts- take-the- vote OF Bryan in
1900 as the basis Of their calculations
At that time he carried the solid
south and received In addition 43 votes
from Nevada, Montana, Idaho. Colo
RADIO, Missouri and Kentucky. Figur
ing out these states on the new basis
Of apportionment, they give Bryan Ia
start with 120 votes from the solid
south and IS from the six Just men.
toned. That is fair estimate OF
the Democratic side and IL gives
Bryan q total of 1876 on the basis OF
the vote eight years ago.
