JAMES ROWE SEES
VICTORY FOR BRYAN
Business and Professional Men
Tell EVENING STAR What
They Think About 1t.

THE EVENING STAR today sought
expressions OF opinion on the political
outlook from well-known citizens.
Among the replies We're the following:
JAMES A. ROWE, Dem.-"I find that
there is a general feeling that Mr..
Taft's election would improve bust
ness conditions and that the election of
Mr.. Bryan would, on the other hand.
serve to retard business and to in
crease the depression. From what |
can learn there is a waiting tendency
throughout the manufacturing and dis
tributing centres of the country. 1
think that four years of Mr.. Bryan
would be a great educational thing for
the people. They sadly need it. The
people have lots of pet theories under
their hats. 1t might be a good thing
If they found out how these theories
worked under Bryan's direction. Ger
tainly Bryan would give the puffed-up,
high aud mighty gentlemen of finance
a good lesson The Republican party
has been patting these men on the back
too long. Bryan is an honest, o
scientious and sincere man. He would
be a good experiment. for the people,"
COLONEL EDWARD L. PRICE,
Dem.--"I think that there will be a
tidal wave. The people have seen the
empty dinner-pail, and will elect Will
lam Jennings Bryan
DIR. CHARLES f. KRAEMER, Dem.
bryan will be elected, and l think
there will be a landslide In his favor
throughout the country, if for no other
reason than to set aside the corporation
interests. The workingman realizes
46o4 +hArA- nnna0f h. ,ar 1anaaeeinr
of business than we have had in the
last twelve months, and will rise in his
might and vote for the Democratic ma
tional candidates"
CHANDLER w. RIKER, Rep.-"I
think that Taft will be elected. 1t is
necessary. He will carry the State of
New Jersey
WILLIAM PENNINGTON, Rep.-"It
is nothing but Taft. and he will be
e, ated by as large a vote as Roose-
welt. He will carry New Jersey by
&c, 000."
JOHN FRANCIS CAHILL. Dem.-
"William Jennings Bryan will be the
next President of the United States.
His election Is necessary and the de-
preston of the last year will be a big
factor in gaining him the laboring
vote"
HENRY HAHN, Rep.-"There is
nothing else for the people to do but 20
elect Taft, and his election is a GER
tainty.'
EDWARD WRIGHT, JR.. DEM
This is a close fight. No one can pre-
dict a victory for either man, for Bryan
is running strong"
]. RANDOLPH WOODRUFF, DEM
"Why, Bryan will be elected. He has
the solid South and West and the East
is not all Taft by any means. I pre-
dict that there will be a change and
that William Jennings Eryan will
occupy the presidential chair"
RICHARD C. JENKINSON, Rep
"Who will win the presidential cleo
ton? The Republican ticket, of course.
Why? For the same good reasons that
they have been winning for the past
fifty years"
ABRAHAM ROTHSCHILD, Rep, of
Stengel & Ro~thschild, leather manufac-
turers-"It looks to me to be an almost
certain thing for Taft and Sherman.
l have just returned home from a car
rlage builders convention in Chicago,
where l met a great many Western
business men. All of them, almost
without exception, said that they in,
tended to vote the straight Republican
ticket. as they thought that the cleo
ton of Taft n Sherman meant the
speedier return of good business. One
man from Texas went so far as to give
me his usual order and then promise
an order for more If Taft was elected"
