fact that Ohio has never yet com pletely deserted the republican party in a presidential year stares them all in the face, gives the almost despair ing republicans hope, and deterS the democrats from feeling that degree of confidence which the conditions act ually warrant If we could push out of our minds the historical reconec- ton that Ohio has always chosen re publican presidential electors, and consider the conditions of today pure ly upon their merits, we should all have to concede that the state is prob ably for Bryan, and the best We could conclude Is that by hard work and good luck it is still just possible for the republicans 60 snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.
 It will seem a pity to many people If as magnificent man as Judge Taft is has to suffer the humiliation oi losing his own state. He feels very keenly the possibility of 1t, although he believes he can be elected even if Ohio should desert him, which is not impossible. The most valiant efforts are to be made during the coming fort night to bring Ohio into line.

SANTA CRUZ DEMOCRATIC.
lPhoaniX Democrat


 Santa Cruz county always has been. since the time 1t was created not many years ago, democratic coun- ty, and seems to be getting mole so as the time rolls by. Some time ago National Committeeman Nicholson of Phoenix sent a ton of two of Bryan and Kern buttons to Frank Duffy of Nogales for distribution thfoushout his section of the county. Nicholson said at the time that he had sent enough buttons to deck all the people of Santa Cruz and half of Sonora, but evidently that Is not the case, for this morning he received a telegram from Duffy, requesting him to send more buttons. stating that the ones that had been sent had been eagerly snapped up, and people were still ask ing for them.
 Nicholson complied with the re- quest, and when the NJ. & P. train pulls out tonight it will carry enough Bryan and Kern buttons, consigned to Duffy. Nogales. to sink battle snip.
 Duffy added in his telegram the un- necessary information that Mark Smith would get all the votes in Santa Cruz except 90, and they still bad hopes of getting those. Also he says the democratic county ticket will be elected from top 10 bottom.

WHAT WELLMAN
 SAYS OF OHIO
Thinks the State Is Already Lost to the Republican,
 Candidate.
(WaIter WeIlnan.D

If Ohio were to vote next Tuesday the probabilities are that Bryan would carry the state. This is not my opin- ion alone, but that of well informed republican leaders with whom I have talked. What the coming fortnight of earnest campaign effort may do towards changing the present situa- ton for the better, of course remains to be seen. The republicans believe they can yet save the state. They will try with all their might. l am afraid it is too late-that the thing is "set" against them, and that they will not be able to turn it over in the short time yet remaining.
 Ohio Is leaning toward Bryan this year because so. many factors work against Taft and so few for him. That Ohio is republican state under normal conditions. every one knows. The trouble is that this year the con ditions are abnormal. When Judge Taft said the other day Ohio has never gone democratic in a presidsn- .tiaI year and never will the first of his phrases was the promise Iog the conclusion in the second one All the really well informed men with whom I have talked of both parties, perceive that present conditions are driving the state hard toward Bryan, but the

There confronts us now one oI the most tremendous problems the coun- try has ever faced writes John L. Mathews, in the current issue of the Success Magazine. This is the prob lem of how to get back for tAe people on navigable streams the power at the dams. or now 10 ger at least a tax return on betterments.
 Usually the state, in giving permis- sion for dam to be erected ESals also right of eIDiuent dohiaia @ con demn flowage land Recently, how ever, when big corrofations came beg ging for help, Congress passed typ raSs which are without precedent In the rights they give to the rich against the poor, or against those who do not wish to develop power at given moment. The first of these provided that if any person owning the riparian land OF one side of a water-power wished to build a dam and to give free of cost to the govern ment the site for a lock something every dam builder is compelled to do by law), he might require the Attor- hey General of the United States to COuQeQlll, OH DSudIl OI lltc hah4Ois LUL at private expense, the other shore required for the dam.

 CHICAGO. Oct. 24.-The republican national platform which was framed at the dictation of big trust interests has driven thousands and thousands of Republicans to the support of the Demoxstts national ticket. gp every state in S.s west there are Bryan clubs composed of republicans wao were forced to leave the c. Q. P, be- cause of its allegiance to and connes ton with the trusts. A striking in stance of this revolt is afforded by students attending the University of Minnesota who have organized Bryan Republican Club Within a period us three days a membership 0f 500 republicans who will support Bry- an aas been enrolled and the list is still growing.
 While declaring allegiance to their party. these recgblicans declare that The election of Bryan is above that oi partisan politics. The Bryan Rep1D- lican club of Minnesota" has set forth it's purpose in the following circular, which has received general distTibu- ton throughout the state.
 l. We, the undersigned students Of the University of Minnesota, declare our allegiance to the republican party and pledge our devotion to progress i've republican principles.
 g. We believe the Chicago conven- ton adopted a platform which does not embody those principles. and nominated candidates whose views do not reflect the will of the people.
 3. We hold that it is the right and duty of the people to rebuke party leaders when they allow political or ganizations to be influenced by con sideration of private interest.
 i. In the interest of this right and duty, we express our intention to gote for candidates who are pledged to further progressive principles without regard to the party to which those candidates belong, and to exert all our influence to secure the election oi William Jennings Bryan as president of the United States.

 Already on the Upper Mississippi. the power users complain against the way the reserved water Is used for navigation. They declare that the power ought to be considered first, and although they pay no toll, and have no right in the reserved water, they have forced congress to make an investigation of their complaints. If no one blocks them sharply, they will persist until they gain their end.
 If no one blocks theml That is now for the people to do. The whole nation must awake-and the renewed interest in waterways and in conserya- tion indicates that this is to happen. But the problem is intricate and dell cate. Under existing law, congress can neither control nor sell the water power it has at the government dams, or the additional power from storage. though some subterfuge probably can be found. But either every state can grant that power to congress or the states can assuEe and use it Fem selves and fepay ths Cost ef the reser- VolrSS The policy Presleent Roosevelt has adopted of cooperation with the state is a necessary one. Either the states themselves must build the reservoirs under a national plan, or else they must cede the right to the nation to take tolls.

Bryan and Chairman Mack both denied the state ment in the Hearst's paper that the democratic national committee had re- ceived $S00, 100000 fund from the old committee at the beginning of this campaign, and yet President Roose welt repeated the slander several weeks after it's authoritative repudia- ton by Chairman Mack iu tho vaffbus press associations .S the country. The sdeLmI.osrragu LI. satloaai committee has hever circulated the hoax of which the republican candidate for the pres idency complains. The republican cam paign managers have not only circu- lated a campaign document the false words put in ex-Presideht Cleveland's mouth, but the president has given expression to the charges created by Mir. Hearst's paper and has never made correction of his error,
 J. Pierpont Morgan contributed $2O,- loco to the republican campaign fund and immediately stocks were affected favorably Of course, Mir. Morgan will be one of the most substantial contributors towards Judge Taft's election. Why shouldn't he contribute literally? He had his man, George R. Sheldon. elected treasurer of the re- publican national committee, and he 1 has reason to believe that all his i'm mense interests will be immune from government regulation just as they have been in past republican admins trations. MT. Morgan contributed towards the election of President Roosevelt and Governor Hughs of New York; so did JOhn D. ROckefel- l Ter. F. H Hartman. and other trust magnates. There is no reason in the
 world to expect they will not do the
 same thing this. year.
 | Further evidence Of efforts to intim- idate workingmen to vote for Taft lhave come to the attention of the
 Democratic National committee. The latest scheme Of republicans Is to
 threaten them with panic and hard times in the event of the election of Mir. Bryan and comes from Indianap lolis. The schemers in order to es' cape the charge of coercion have hid

The circular ex- plains the recent republican panic as temporary financial furry caused by bankers, and declares that wreck and ruin will follow 8 democratic revision of the tariff. It declares that the shops will close" if the democracy is successful and revfsss the Ec5edules. The circular concludes with the state' ment that the "Assocjatiop' Gs!n, Gsil, Aa glad to furnish Hany further informa- ton that ma. be desired" although there is nothing upon it to indicate where such information may be ob- tained.

 Officials of the concerns among whose employees the circular was ais tributed declare that they know noth- ing of it's origin, but they have readily permitted its circulation.
 The scheme is regarded as a clever one to avert the charge of coercion by anonymous circular which republi- cans consider as better than the old plan of posting notices in the shops directing workingmen to vote the re- publican ticket,
 In a speech at Sale9a, Illinois, the birthplace of Mir. Bryan, James s.

The experiment of introducing the
Young Mems Christian Association to
Russia has been so successful at st.
Petersburg that an annual grant of
5000 rubles has been made by the gov
ernment for its support. Representa-
tives Of the Russian government on
the invitation of Count Ohelensk.,
one of ,he leaders ard directors of-ths
Association. were induced 20 examine
it's work, aud their recommendation
to the minister Of finance resulted in
the grant of 1000 rubles. This AS
sooiation, which was established by
philanthropIsts of New York City,
now numbers nearly I,5C0 members
and has hundreds OF men in its even
ing educational classes and gymnas-
ium. Two American secretaries are
employed and third is expected to
sail soon, He will give special atten-
tion to the promotion of the moral
and social welfare of Russian young
men of the Association.
The Korean G Veruneu5 has for two
years given 10000 yen for the main
tenanoe of the educational work at
Seoul, Korea, which enrolls 5Co stud
ents. The emperor of Japan also gave
So, 900 to maintain the army branches
in their work among his soldiers. The
recognition of the Association in Rus
sia will give the movement a large
impetus, although it has been from its
beginning under the patronage of the
Czarina, and received financial sup
port from the minister Of the Russian
railroads and the national banks on
account of its value to their employees.
The Indian government has, in rec
ognition of the beneficial service of
the Association in Rangoon, India, re-
GENTLY given 5000 rupees, making a
total of 10, 900 rupees from that gov
ernment. On the opening of the new
building at Shanghai, China, the gov
ernor of Kiangsu Province telegrsphed
