day. The manager of each of the

many serious problems. In nut

How many electoral votes are en-

lection of negro voters?
How much influence will Samuel
,Tompers exert with republican
members Of the American Fedora
ton of Labor.
What will be the effect of the
political inertia of the great rail-
roads?
To what extent will the idea pre-
vail that tariff revision might be
delayed If the next president and
house of representatives are dem
Ocratic?
Chairman Mack must find the an
swer to these questions. among
others:
How close will be the disaffec-
tion among democrats from Mr.
Bryan by reason of the lndepened-
en- ecmovement?
