Democratic Chairman Says Can
didate Will Receive Three
Hundred Electoral Votes.
EXPECTS TO GET NEW YORK,
INDIANA, OHIO, KANSAS
Willing to Admit That Taft Is
Likely to Carry State of
Illinois.

NEW YORK. Oct. 24-National
Chairman Mack authorized a statement
today. in which be claimed the cleo
tion Of William j. Bryan by land
slide He announced that his reports
showed that Mr.. Bryan would receive
at least 301 electoral votes, or SO more
than is necessary for choice. Mr..
Mack g forecast OF the election follows:
"The rumblings and thunder of the
Bryan landslide in the West are al
ready heard in the Eastern states, and
today I can confidently predict the cleo
tion Of Mr. Bryan; that landslide in
the West will extend to the shores of
the Atlantic. It means that the Demo
cratic national ticket will carry every
doubtful state in this section. and in
rock ribbed Republican districts the ma
jorities of the party in recent years
will be reduced TO minimum. Basing
my forecast on the most conservative
lines, in view of the optimistic reports
I have received from all sections of
the country, [ figure that Mr. BRYAN
will have at least 103 electoral votes,
or SO more than is necessary for a
choice. This comfortable majority will

kota-a total of 30l votes All over
the country there is q change of % to
SO per cent from the Roosevelt vote Of
1904 to Mr.. Bryan.
"The result is no longer In doubt in
New York. The 80 votes OF the state
are assured for Mr., Bryan. He will
win by a substantial plurality, The
Empire state. can be no longer included
in that territory called the enemy's
country l speak from information
gained from thorough canvass and re-
ports from every county in the state.
"From Connecticut have received
very encouraging reports. Judge Rob.
ertson, the Democratic candidate for
governor. will carry the state by about
10000 plurality. and the national ticket
backed by united party. has the bst
chance In years for winning tho elec.
toral vote.
Hopes for New jersey.
New Jersey sounds an optimistic
note. and there is every reason TO be-
lieve that the state will be in the
Democratic column. This is not an
extrayagaDt statement when you take
into consideration the fact that the
tremendous Republican maioritics of
$4,000 in 1904 and 10000 in 1900 were
reduced TO 1000 in the gubernatorial
contest in 1907. Mr.. Bryan's state
tour on Friday last. and the ovation he
received, spelled victory to my mind.

a great crowd, which numbered many

Dor question and il was more specific
in its reply to the president 3 recent
letter regarding labor than any OF hls
previous utterances on that subject. He
said:
s'The president declares that he is
wiling to do everything for labor ex-
cept to do what is wrong. lie vlrtuous-
ly asserts that he will not do what IS
wrong for anybody. We must all ap~
plaud this resolute determination on the
part of the president to adhere TO the
right, but IL he knew his fellow men
a little better he would not feel so lone
some on this subject. He is not tho
only one in the country who desires TO
do right There are really great
many good people in this country VINO gho
are Just as anxious TO do right as the
president, but many of them differ from
him as to what is right, and they are
not willing TO admit that they are do
ing wrong merely because they differ
from him. :,
"The president seems to think It
would be wrong to establish depart
ment of labor with secretary of labor

The Old Flannel Quilt.

On the morning of Aug. 8, 1862, at
Methodist camp meeting in Perry
County, Ohio, there might have been
seen a group of several boys, all yet
in their teens. arranging to volunteer
that evening for the war. The excite
ment being very high and recruiting
officers having sprung up all over the
land, and all of the boys being eager to
get their name down first, quite large
number enlisted that afternoon, think
ing they would all get in one company
or at least one regiment, the Ninetieth
nearly completed, 1t soon had all the
men necessary. and the remaining men
were recruited for the One Hundred
and Fourteenth o. V. l., which was
soon fitted out, and in few days was
sent to camp at Circleville, Ohio, to
prepare for the front.
On leaving home the writer and his
boy chum. Stephen s. Conner, agreed
to stick together and share each others
fate as long as there was a chance to
do So On leaving, Steve's mother in
sisted on him taking a large old-fash-
toned flannel quilt that weighed some
where between ten and twenty pounds,
and he came to me and asked my adj
vice about taking it. He did not want
to displease his mother. said, "Steve,
let's take it and stitch TO 1t as long as
we can, and then try and put it where
1t will do some one else good" It was
agreed and we hung on to it through
all various marches and counter
marches, until we reached vicksburg.

never will forget the look on
Steve's face when he said to me. rJoe,"
what will we do with the quilt? 1t
is too heavy to carry any longer"
said. ".Iet us take and cover 1t over
some of those poor fellows who are
wounded" So we went abroad the
steamer City of Memphis, and on the
hurricane deck we found some Of our
company wounded and shivering In the
cold night air, and we quietly covered
it over them, and I remember hearing
one of them say as we walked away,
THANK God. God bless you"
Steve chOked up and did not speak
for some time after we went ashore.
This was late at night. 1t was hard to
give up the old quilt that had been such
comfort to us, but we had disposed
of it as we had agreed to on leaving
home.
