The citizen. [volume] (Berea, Ky.) 1899-1958, 1908-10-15

! than IL has Deen IN years, ana lhat IL
is making the hardest fight since 1896
But still, the Republicans cannot find
any where any thing to show that
Bryan is going to win. The Demo
Gratis declare that there viii be land
slide, tho there is no indication Of it
yet Nothing else can elect Bryan,
all admit, but the Republicans are a
little nervous for fear the Democrats
have some scheme to spring the last
few days OF the campaign. Except for
this the campaign is going as it has
always gone with Bryan-he started
strong and is getting weaker sll
the time Unless there is a big sur
prise Of come kind, a political convul-
sion or a sudden landslide in the last
few days, Taft will surely win and
will probably have a majority of
100 in the electoral college.
TAFT AND BRYAN MEET:-A
pleasant incident of the campaign
took place last Thursday night when
Messrs. Taft ard Bryan met at a din
ner given by the Association Of Com
merce in Chicago. The two rivals
sat near each other, exchanged many
pleasantrles during the dinner, and
showed that on one subject at least
they are agreed for both in their
speeches gave hearty support TO the
project for providing canals to allow of
navigation between Chicago and he
| Gulf of Mexico.
REPUBLICANS POOR:-There has
never been a time when the Repub-
lican National Committee has had so
little money for use at an election
Contributions come in very slowly
ana 1t is possible that at the end Of
the campaign there will be deficit
to be made up. During the last week
there have been only two gifts Of note
one Of $4,000 from Andrew earn
egle. and one of $1,000 from Mrs Rus
sci Sage-both rich people who are
not involved in the trusts but who want
to see the country have prosperity.
TAFT IN Neutrality-suspicious.
Taft is n Kentucky as this paper
goes to press, and is making a num-
Der of speeches I'm this state. From
here he VIII 50 to the South, where
he will spend two or three days
Most Of the rest OF the campaign will
be in Rev England. and IN Indiana
and Ohio. This is not because Of
great fear that Bryan can carry these
states, but to keep them solid, for
it is recognized that unless Bryan
gets all Of them he will have praeu-
cally no hope Of election.

HUGHES SHOWS STRENGTH
Gov. Hughes trip thru the Middle
West has been most successful and
No. has ;eeh makir- votes right along
In Chicago he addressed the biggest
meeting os the year and in all the
States he has been thru he has arous-
ed great enthusiasm. Meanwhile his
chances IN New York are improving
and there is little doubt that he will
be reelected.
HEARsT's SURPRISE:-One OF the
surprises Of tie campaign has been the
hig vote polled in the Georgia election
by the Independence party. Hearst :
new Organization. u cast rearly one
third Of the total vote. leaving the
Republicans a bad third, and there
is good hope that 1t may come to be
a strong rival to the Democratic party
in that etate. II this can be taken as
showing anything in REGARD to the
strength OF that party elsewhere,
which is doubtful, It would show that
Hearst and his crowd would take con-
s,derably from the Democrats.
