many gashes in his body. The dog was
killed and its head sent to Baltimore.
In a few days word came back that the
dog was mad. Mr. Kline Immediately
took the Pasteur treatment. The case

DOUBTFUL STATES.

Both National Committees
are coming to realize that the
doubtful territory extends near
" everywhere. Mr.. Taft may
carry everything North Then
again, Mr.. Bryan may get, be-
sides the solid South. a big
sweep in the Middle West. the
Far West and the Middle East.
And there is growing the feel
ing that the difference between
a Republican and a Democratic
landslide may be caused by the
change of mighty small num-
Der of the popular vote. The
margins are going to be small.
81 would not be surprised,
said a politician who has been
many years on one of the Ma
tional Committees. eff the win
ner should have 100 majority
in the Electoral College and
if he has | would not be sur
prised to find, on calculation,
that the change of 10000 votes
would have given the other
man 100 majority in the College.
That's the sort of an election it
looks to me at this time.
Democrats are immensely
pleased that Taft is going on
the stump. They regard it as an
admission Of weakness, and
think Taft will be an ineffect-
i've stumper. The number of
Republican politicians who
have misgivings about whether
Taft will be a campaigning sue
cess is also very great

NOTHIN DOM

The Republican Party has not
a single issue with which to go
before the people of the country
in this presidential campaign.
The full dinner pail is empty,
there is a deficit of $50, 0o0. 900
in the national treasury, and
the iniquitous Dingley tariff
law has caused one of the great
est money panics in the history
of the country. With such a
record what are the Republican
campaign speakers. newspapers
and Candidate Taft doing {:
They are going around the
country and publishing stuff
in an effort to belittle the
character of Mr.. Bryan. en-
deavoring TO create the impress
sion that il would be a calamity
to elect him. and that hard times
always follow Democratic rule
Could the election of Mr.. Bryan
possibly be any worse than the
condition which the country
faces to-day: The Republican
campaign is a sham from be-
ginning to end, and they can
never elect Mr.. Taft under the
sun except with the assistance
of an immense campaign fund
to debauch the electorate. The
people are tired of Republican
extravaganza and deception.
We need a change of govern
ment before il is too late, and
Mr.. Bryan's election will be a
blessing to the great mass of
the people. -Chestertown Tran

seven tricks They played a very much
steadier game during the second half,
when sides were changed. and the result
OF ten boards was very much In Wash

tricks. Had there been time to play a full
second half the same rate Of progression
would have given Baltimore the victory

the locals left on the IL 80 o'clock train
for home. When they departed from the
clubhouse hurried examination Of the
