cratic.

/ Mack mas authorized statement In
which he claims the election OF w.
J.. Bryan by a Landslide. Mr.. Mack
announced that hts reports show
ed that Mr.. Bryan would receive at
least 301 electoral votes. or fifty
nine more than is necessary for
choice.
Mr.. Mack's forecast of the election
is as follows:
The rumbling and thunder Of the
Bryan landslide In the West are al
ready heard in the Eastern states
and today / can confidently predict
| the election OF Mr. Bryan. That lana-
slide in the West will extend to the
shores of the Atlantic. 1t means the
Democratic national ticket will car
/ ry every doubtful state in this Sec
ton, and in rock-ribbed Republican
districts. the majorities of that par
ty in recent years will be reduced to
minimum. Baslng my forecast
on the most conservative lines, in
view of the optimistic reports / have
received from all sections OF the
country, / figure that Mr.. Bryan will
have at least POI electoral votes, or
/ fifty-nine more than is necessary. for
choice.
This comfortable majority will
increase rather than decrease when
counted. In addition to the 166
votes of the solid Southland in this
| include Maryland am confident
that Mr.. Bryan will carry New York,
| New Jersey, Connecticut, Idaho Mon
/ tana, Colorado, Nebraska, Nevada,
and | adj ual amfwy amfwy pan an
Indiana, Ohio, Delaware, Kansas
and South Dakota total of 3GI
votes.i All over the country, there is
a change of 25 to SO per cent from
the Roosevelt vote of 1904 to Mr..
Bryan.
THE result is no longer in doubt
in New York. The thirty-nine votes
of the state are assured for Mr.. Bry-
an. He will win by substantial
plurality. The empire state can no
longer be included in that territory
called the enemy's country
From Connecticut, / have receiv-
ed very encouraging reports. Judge
Robertson, the Democratic candidate
for governor. will carry the state by
about 10000 plurality and the ma
tional ticket, backed by united par
ty, has the best chance in years of
winning the electoral votes.
New Jersey sounds an optimistic
note and there is every reason to be-
lieve that that state will be in the
Democratic column.
Delaware, we expect to win. The
people are hot with resentment
against a party branded with Dupont
ism. Thousands of Republicans
there win either vote for Bryan or
not vote at all.
In Ohio and Indiana every ele-
ment is working for our success and
despite the great Republican major
tiles of previous years, am conf
dent that both states will be in the
Democratic column
illinois is doubtful with the
chances in favor of Mr. Taft, but if
he wins. it will be by greatly re-
duced plurality.
THE Pacific states all show a
Bryan trend and disgust of the ex-
travagant, destructive policies of Mr..
Roosevelt
The mountain states, from infor-
nation have received within forty
eight hours, will am confident, be
counted in the Democratic column.
In fine, | figure at the present
time, Nj: Bryan will have at least
301 electoral votes. / include in my
estimate the following states:
Solid South 166; Idaho, 8; Mon
tana, 8; Colorado, 5; Nebraska, 8;
Nevada, 8; Indiana. Is; Ohio, 90;
Delaware. 3; Kansas, 10; New York
80; New Jersey, IL; Connecticut, z;
South Dakota e. Total 3O1"
