Merry old Fight.
 They have a merry oud fight going on in the state of New Hampshire be- tween the two Republican factions. Chan1,sr belongs to the crowd that has bitterly opposed the combination worked by Senator Gallinger. The lat ter has been on top for some years In New Haf1lpshire and probably will win his fizht this year again. but reports which rsacss Washington are to the et- feet that the Republican machine iS SomewhAt disiointed.
 Two very successful and rich man T. lecturers from Philadelphia were here this week They are both stauneh ha, pubIicAns. as most manufacturers in Pennsyivania are. 4 real estate opoE- ator, a friend of the writer. had some business with these men. and they went out Into Maryland to inspect prop srty. On the way the political situa- ton was discussed. One of the PhilA' delphians said ne was positive thlt Taft would be elected President. lie could not zee how 1t was possible for
 Bryan to win. The other remarked that he would be pleased IT his prediction should come trne.
 But" he added: "It looks very much like a Bryan victory this year to me. Up in our State I have recently seen we'll authenticated list of $500 stone | GUtIcF8, Hn1 O'L Ob fthtS ldt SO tt0ttaSNA . only sixty have work at present. These men have been out of work practically | for the past year. I am reliably in. formed that nearly all the unemployed gre going to vote for Bryan. NC amount of argument cannot apparent | ly convince them that the prevailing hard times were not brought about by | the administration at Washington. Oul l politicians have been preaching .or years that the Democrats alone brought about hard times and that 10 havG prosperity all you had to do was tf keen the Republicans in power.

We cannot shu' l our ayes to that fact. Right in Phil adelphia there are thousands of meS who have not earned dollar in twelv' months."
 I A letter from Senator Johnston, oi Alabama, received here, tells of a cor ference he had with Democratic Stat' Chairman Corners. of New York. Th' latter went carefully over the situa tiOn in the Empire State and said h' was positive that Bryan would carr! New York and that Chanler would de feat Hughes for Governor Mir.
