{ believe that Bryan can be elected, sald
Hermann Henry Kohlsaat. capitalist and
journalist, OF Chicago, III, at the Airing
ton last night
For the 10 OF me, I cant see where
! Bryan can secure votes he did not get in
ISe5." continued Mr.. Kohlsaat. and. on
the other hand. it looks 70 me as If he
would lose many votes that were cast FOR
him in 1895. because OF the inrOads which
Hearst's Independence League viii make
I think It is safe TO say that the Inde-
pendence League viii poll about 10000
votes. and nine out Of ten Of these votes
will come from the Democratic party.
Bryan's only hope can be based on the
votes in the cities
Much has been said about the Iaboring
vote being against Taft on account Of his
attitude toward labor while he was a
judge on the bench. The whole matter Is
that the Injunction question is not thor
oughly understood by the ordinary Ia
borer. they 90 not know what x means
II they did, they would see that the Re
publican platform is rot against their in
terests. but, on the contrary, strongly IN
their favor.

backbone Of the country. are in such a
