THE POLITICIANS
 ARE ALL AT SEA
The Leaders in National Political Cir cles Are Unable to Guage the Trend of Public Sentiment
 Ills Taft Scared?

special to The Star.
 Washington, D. C., Sept. IT, The old political managers that have been guiding the hands of politics for the last twenty years are entirely at sea so far, and whether the current will swing to Mir. Taft or Mir. Bryan is the deepest kind of a puzzle. In 1S96 aud again in 1900, the Republi- cans accused Mir. Bryan of "be- ing scared" and in fact so scared that he had to take the slump and work like d Hercules night and day. MT. Bryan himself admits that he twas scared" in those campaigns and the results show that he had mighty good reasons for being scared. Now Mir. Tatt has changed his plans of "front porch campaign such as McKin- ley had in '96. and has decided to stump the country from ocean to ocean and end to eud. Mir Taft IS going from New York to Cali fornia and make speeches in ev- cry important doubtful state. This all leads to the question is Mir. Taft very "badly scared" and so far nobody has been able to answer 1t. The labor vote IS a great factor in this campaign and 1t is we'll known that they con- trol two million of votes. Mir. Gompers, president of the Amer ican Federation of Labor, and thus the head of this great army of two million voters, is working with all his might to deliver this vote to Mr. Bryan. If he can do so, there is very little doubt but what that will mean his election. However, there are very few votes that any one man can deiiv- CT in these days. Every Ameri- can is in the habit of delivering his own vote and according to his own opinion. Another puzzliug thing in this campaign IS the "negro vote" and while MT. Taft was Secretary of War, when the "negro" regiment was dismissed in disgrace by his owu act, II IS not believed that the negro vote will be cast in lump for the Democratic party as has been claimed. There is no doubt, however, but that the negro vote will be divided. and probably equally divided between the can dldates. There are a good many colored ministers and leaders who believe that tbis is the wisest thing for the negroes to do, as they will be likely to get favors then from both parties by making their vote au uncertain quantity.

over his certain success that he cast
