A moment after he has climbed out

But his exploits with the pistol seem
to enthuse the Frenchman, rather than
dismay him. In his excited Latin way,
Leboeuf shouts louder than anyone on
deck and fairly screams with Gallo
enthusiasm as Barnes winds up by
placing card on edge and splitting it
with his unerring bullet.
Later on Monsieur Leboeuf sets Mr..
Barnes to thinking again. He makes
his appearance and demands deter

some landing where they can obtain
fresh ice.
'Nonsense!" dissents the American.

east Of the Alleghanies.
SO many representations have been
made to Mr.. Bryan of the campaign
in Ohio that at is said he is really
hopeful of carrying that state. He
has been convinced that the nomi-
nation of John w Kern will swing
Indiana back into the Democratic
line and that with the Roger Sui
livan element pulling hard In the
harness with the regular Bryan
forces Illinois will again be made
Democratic. He thus counts on 65
electoral votes east of the Missis-
sippi and north of the Ohio that
have been given to the Republicans
In the last three presidential cleo
tions.
Kansas he is said to regard as GER
tain to give him its vote, and his
confidence In carrying his own state
of Nebraska seems to be supported
at the moment by the obvious fear
of the Republicans out here that
there will be another Bryan land
slide this year, as there was In
1896. These two states would give
him total OF 16 votes which were
cast for President Roosevelt in the
electoral college four years ago. 1t
Is known that he regards the three
votes OF Montana as practically as
sured and that he believes Mime
sofa and both of the Dakotas, with
their total electoral vote OF 19, as
debatable ground. But for the large
Mormon element In Idaho he would
count with confidence on getting
the three votes of that state. Cali
fornia has 10 votes which MIR
Bryan feels extremely hopeful OF
getting, and his expectations as to
the five votes Of the state OF Wash
ington are almost as great as with
respect to California's 10.
At this early stage OF the cam
'paign II is thus shown that Mr.
Bryan counts ON wrenohing from the
Republican column 1l8 electoral
votes west vi the Alleghenies and
north of the Ohio which were CIV
en- TO President Roosevelt in the 1904
landslide.
Added TO these are the five votes
from Colorado and the three of Ne
vada, which,, he is said TO regard as
safe. This count gives him a total
OF l26 electoral votes In the territory
named which for eight years have
remained unshaken In the Republi-
can columns.
Conceding Maryland, which Mr.
Bryan has never carried, to the Re-
publicans and relying upon the
steadfast loyalty of the solid South
including Missouri the Bryan cleo
toral vote on paper at this time is
274 or an even 80 more than Is
needed to land him dn the White
House. This alignment of states ar
rays the South and West against
New York and the East. However
