"Of the many reports have received
from the various states there has not
been one discouragfng to our cause. On
the other hand, all Of our information
has indicated that there will be re-
t1narkable decrease In the Republican
vote, and this statement applies alike
to the banner Republican state OF
Pennsylvania as well as to states like
New York, Ohio. and Indiana. Mr..
Bryan will not only receive the major
fly of the electoral vote, but one OF the
greatest popular votes ever given
candidate
Says Fight 10 Won.
"The f1ght>is won, but we must keep
everlastfngly at it for the remaining
two weeks of the campaign. Our re-
ports have been OF such an encourag.
Ing nature that have at times had
fears least some of those on duty
would, in their enthusiasm. let up in
The fight, and my parting word to those
at headquarters is that they continue
their efforts just as aggressively as if
the contest had to be won In the de-
clining days of the campaign.
THE Democratic party has greater
membership than the Republican party.
The only question with us in recent
years has been to get our folks to-
gether in harmonious and united pha-
lanx. I do not believe there is Dem
ocrat In the entire country who is out
side of the breastworks In this cam
paign, and that is the greatest reason
to my mind why Mr.. Bryan will be
inaugurated president on March next,
I will not attempt to give figures, but
will say now that New York, Ohio, and
Indiana are Democratic this year, and
my prediction does not take into. con
sideration a. number. of other states
that will swing from the Republican
to the Democratic column on election
day" -
Republicans Pass the .Lie.>
Republican campaign managers have
been endeavoring to create the Inn
preston that James Duncan, first vice
president of the American Federation
OF Labor, Is not in sympathy with the
labor movement advocated by Mr.
Gompers, urging union labor to sup
port it's friends and defeat its enemies
In the present campaign, Mr.. Duncan
was advised OF this fact and asked to
state his attitude in the matter. His
reply is explicit and gives the lie to
the Republican managers who have
been seeking to place him in false
light.
