Chicago, Nov. 2.-Walter Wellman
in the Record-Herald today, says:
Election week dawns with the re-
publican leaders outwardly confident,
but inwardly nervous. The democrat
ic managers are hopeful as usual.
Outward signs point to Taft's trl-
umph. but many unsettled conditions
may reverse this prediction.
The result Of the Rockefeller Incl
dent is uncertain. There is no good
reason to believe that Rockefeller's
support of Taft will stampede the
voters to Bryan and yet great ankle
ty exists. The republicans fear Rock
efeller's endorsement will turn
enough votes in Indiana, Illinois and
Ohio to elect Bryan.
A well informed man from New
York says the endorsement is not
trick Of the democrats
In statements issued today from
headquarters, both parties take an op-
timistic view of the situation. The
democrats and republicans are both
claiming Nebraska, by 10000 plural
ity.
The republicans say Taft Will get
the usual republican plurality In

Kansas City, Mo-, Nov. Bryan
left here this morning for a tour of
northern Kansas, making his final
speeches before reaching Lincoln,
where a rousing welcome has been
planned. The entire town turned out
in monster parade before he left
here.
Bryan is making his campaign in
Kansas with all the snap exhibited
throughout the whole campaign. His
voice is unimpaired and he speaks as
vigorously as he did on the first day.
Every step is a continued attack
on the republican party because of
Rockefeller's endorsement of Taft.
He will rest at Fairview tomorrow
where he will receive the returns.
He said: THE republicans will
have an unpleasant surprise the day
after election. l think l will carry

Mrs. Bryan left the special at Chi
oago, going direct to their home.

MOVING PICTURE SHOWS

Los Angeles, Cal. Nov. 2.-The ju-
venile court is investigating the
strangest case on record, that of Lar
ry Watson, aged is, who has lived in
the bushes like a hunted animal for
weeks. stealing out at nights to plum

Watson today made a full confess

REPUBLICAN EXCURSION
PROVED 4 FAILURE.

When the cost of Saturday even-
ing's demonstration TO the republi-
cans of Umatilla county is counted,
one of the principal items will be
charge for the train from Pilot Rock.
Although it was announced that
over 75 voters would come in to at
tend the rally from that country.
when the train arrived there were
only between so and 60 passengers.
two-thirds of whom were women and
children who had come down for
trading purposes.
As a result the leaders will be call
ed upon to make up q considerable
deficit, as a guarantee Of 100 people
was necessary to secure the train.

THE STORK

N HREE cheers for that noble bird
O. freedom, the California stork,
- The birth rate in Los Angeles for
MAY far exceeded the death rate. AS
President Roosevelt used to say,
Bully" We hope he still says it and
is still the same old Teddy. At present
1t looks as II he were suffering from
an acute attack of Republican mill
tariffs. If he will put his ear to the
ground he viii hear, not the tramp of
armed hosts, but the patter of the
feet of children trotting to their daily
tasks in mine, mill and factory, and
If he still thinks he must make con-
fend those little children and to bring
Republican tyrannical slave drivers
back to their senses and to obedience
to Americanism and he may find plenty
or irate patriots willing to shoulder
armsl'
Since the birth rate exceeds the
death rate it is fair to ask what we
propose to do with all the little "new
chums" who are coming into the world ?
Must we pack them off to toll as soon
as they can read and write? Must we
make wage earners of them, depriving
them of the playtime of their lives
by stealing from them that which
no nation is great enough. no legisla-
ture wise enough, no army or navy
powerful enough to restore to even
ONE of the least of the little ones
CHILDHOOD? We hope that long ere
the babies who come to Los An
geles are of working or workable age
this pressing and urgent social question
will have been settled forever by a
Democratic American government in
Democratic and American way, and
that life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness will be guaranteed to all
the citizens of today and tomorrow
and all time. For the sake of the
babies let us work with might and
main TO elect a Democratic president.

HEARSTISM

EARST'S orphan league won't
ri grieve over his absence. 1t will
- feel more independent than ever
without him. But when Mr.. Hearst
is rot on the quarter deck, what eX-
cuse is there for the league? Like a
show without Punch, Hamlet without
Ham, the league without its leader
illustrates the fact that the leader is
most of the league. If Mr.. Hearst by
his personal magnetism and the power
of his gray matter had been able to
attract a personal following or create
a new political party he would have
evoked admiration even when he could
not command allegiance or respect.
But Hearst's following has been at
tracted by the magnetism of his money,
the power of his purse. His money
has given him the means of expressing
himself. Yellow journalism expresses
him. The independence league ex-
presses him. Each is manifestation
of Hearst each lis Hearstism. AS far
as he has gone he has shown no con-
structive power, but has displayed con-
siderable aptitude for destructiveness
and mischief. When he was repudiated
by a disgusted Democracy he retired
TO his tent and like yellow Achilles,
sulked until he had devised scheme
