EASTERN DEMOCRATIC VIEW.
Gains are Expected for Bryan, But Not
Enough TO Win.

Jud Wellivers New York dispatch
in independent Sioux City Tribune:
Bryan will make great gains, but not
enough to win. That is the shortest
summary of expert political opinion
in this town at this date.
But you can't tell what will happen
in the next two weeks. That is the
popular addendum.
The possibility of the Democrats
electing President without New York
is mere and more talked about. There
is something strange in the present re-
versal of political form in Ohio, In
diana and Illinois, according to the
political students who come back
here, the people all agree that Bryan
hasn't ghost of a chance without
New York
Here in New York they are talking
seriously about the possibility of his
winning without this state.
In the Air.
Everybody wonders what it is that's
in the air. There's something. They
all admit it.
1t is recalled that ten days before
election four years ago the Republic
can managers got panic stricken and
went out to make tremendous hustle
for New YORK. states electoral vote.
They We're seriously and honestly wora
ried.
i And yet they were ct that moment
i being borne along on wav of public
sentiment which swept them over the
line with 100000 popular majority
\ three times as much as any President
had ever received
Is it any wonder that there is I'M
certainty now?
I So Many Outs"
If James K. Tones were vet alive,
even he would hesitate to make any
forecasts about this election. Every
body agrees in the beginning that Taft
will probably be elected, all right: and
then the inevitable but.

ties. But there is the temperance
issue in Ohio and Indiana Put" thera
is the DaFollette sphinx in Wisconsin
But" there is the local fight in New
York. But there is the bank guar
antee issue in Kansas and the state
pride factor in Nebraska But" there
is the pervadins doubt as to where
the labor vote will land, and the vague
misgivings in both camps concernins
the outworking of the prosperity ant
employment questions.
Thcre is a conflict in the minds o.
many railroad employees about wheth
or they should vote for or against Taft
They conceive that Taft represent.

: putes. and don't like him for It. Blu
on the other hand they believe alst
that Taft represents the best chanc.
of restoring their Jobs and the norma
current of business end the cartaint,
of making living. If business were
good, Taft would lose a big raiIroa,
vote, but being bad and the very con
crete issue of lob being more imme
date than the abstra ction of "indicia
despotism." they incline to vote fo
, the job and take the chance on desnot

less looks more serious than tn,
desnotism of being compelled to kee,
, it when strike Is contemplated.

them, the nightly ice creams, it ap-
pears, having rendered the costumes
prematurely unpresentable. with
the arrival Of the new dresses the ice
cream sOdas were naturally abolish

when the decision was announced.

stage manager, that until the usual
refreshments were forthcoming there
would be nothing doing" There
was a CLEAN in Miss Leonard's eye
that told Mr. Bishop that persuasion
would be useless, and as the time was
drawing near he hurriedly dispatched
the property boy with so cents to buy
the sodas.
Poor Mr.. Bishop had an anxious
time running from one to another Of
