Raymond Patterson. of the Tri-
bune, scores the straw vote. He has
been in most OF the doubtful states
and has reliable Information. he
claims. He has established Indiana
as safely Republican by the discovery
of great influx OF mill men In the
northern part of the state, all of them
protectionists. He Classics Ohio as
safely Republican, view that meets
the approval of unbiased judgment
although Walter Wellman observes
dangerous symptoms. They were OBJ
served by The Sun correspondent a
month ago. They arc considerable
disaffection In the cities. on account
OF the whisky Democratic coalition
and the antagonlsm OF Senator For
aker. The former is onset BY a
corresponding gain In the rural pre-
cincts and Senator Foraker's own de-
sire to swing the legislature prevents
his active efforts against the ticket.
The Cincinnati Times-star has
taken a careful poll Of the state and
gives detailed statistics. which look
Ike an accurate summary OF the sit
uatlon, notwithstanding the natural
bias OF the Times-Star. Its poll
gives Taft the state by S0.2i1. lie
claims Il himself by 5000. The
state ticket appears to run is 900
behind Taft. by reason of the tenn
perance fisht.
A first hand knowledge OF the state
verifies the Tlmes-Star figures. Roose
welt carried the state by 255,i2I.
Take Knox county. that gave Roose-
welt l.l99. The poll gives Il TO Taft
by only $50.
Here are some typical reports from
well known sections:
Licking County.
Newark This has always been
an intensely Bryan county Many
Democrats who would bot vote for
Parker In 1904 will vote for Bryan
this year. and Taft will lose Licking
county by at least 1900. being es-
pecially weak In Newark Judge Har-
mon is also very strong here and will
carry the county. possibly by no more
than 100 -..I
Lucas County.
Toledo. While there will be n CON
siderable falling on In the Republican
vote IN Lucas county. yet Il Is con
fdently expected Taft will carry the
county by not less than 6.OO0. Gov
Harris probably will run ahead ofl
Taft. and will win with 10000 orr
more 10 spare in the county.
Cuyahoga County.
Cleveland Governor Harris will
probably carry the county by virtue
OF a heavy suburban and rural ma
iorlty. but by no more than 5000 !
votes. In 1904 Roosevelt carried the
county by 80 1000 but within the city |
Bryan has always been a fayorite
and will poll q heavy vote. A great
Increase In Socialist votes will injure
Bryan. however. and will afford a Re
publican plurality In the county on
the ticket as whole OF perhaps g.
600.

Awaiting myself of the courteou,
loffer of the columns OF The Sun icg
the discussion OF both sides OF the
school bond proposition. deshe
briefly 10 reply to some OF the argn-
ments adduced by TAX Payer" in an
article appearing in Fridays Sun
under the caption. what the Schoo
Bond Issue Means"
was greatly Interested in III,
article because OF the breadth of ii
postulate: because of its charmins
fertility Of expression; because OF 1t,
plausibility of argument, and becaus,
of its cogent Interpretation of, tn
legal points involved In the question
These various literary attributes con.
spired to excite no small degree o.
curiosity regarding the identity of the
author which Is so modestly conceale
behind the honey pseudonym of Tia,
Payer.
From the ease with which the az
thor refers to constitution and stat.
utes by section and number, IL Is not
difficult to imagine him to be an at
torney.
While the argument OF "TaN
Payer" is replete with legal lore and
literary elegance. It is a trifie shy or
facts; and u IS for the purpose oi
Supplying that deficiency that as.
sumo the task of replying thereto.
"Tax Payer" assumes that those
who have strongly supported the
question OF issuing bonds for school
purposes do not really know the true
conditions leading up to and surround
ing the question. but he charitably
acquits them of any deliberate inten-
ton of misleading others In the mat.
ter under discussion. but bids them
TO avoid epigrams and stick to facts.
Well, let us get down TO facts
"Tax Payer" claims that the income
OF the school board for this year, last
year and several years before. has
been inadequate to take care of the
running expenses of the schools and
leaves the implication that this condi-
tion would continue to exist after the
board had been relieved from the in
cubus of debt under which II has been
staggering since the erection of the
three new school houses.
He also claims that under this con-
dition It would be impossible to in
crease the number of schools without
mourning a yearly deficit of $4,000
per year For the information Of
Tax Payer" and of the public, tn,
following figures are submitted. show

schools ana the possibilities connected
with the extension of the system upoL

John Anderson, the foremost sup
porter Of the Prohibitionists in the
northwest, announces 1t is probable
that the party will merge its interests
with one of the dominant elements or
indorse the platforms of both, giving
it's adherents the choice between local
option or absolute prohibition. The
only question raised Is the sincerity
of the old-line parties in their stand
on the liquor proposition. The prohi.
bitionists polled less than 10 per cent
OF the vote Of the state under the
new primary law at the last election.
