no wonder, therefore, that many
EanaSDemocfats are for Taft. All OF
Them do not speak their feelings;
n1ostEof them, probably are silent
except when circumstances make 1T
Imperative that they should speak.
For instance, Ferdinand Strauss, OF
Boston and Charles 8. Davis, OF Ply
month, Massachusetts, were SO quiet
about their Intentions to vote Tor
nat they were named as Prest-
fientia electors on the Bryan ticket.

Rhode Island was never more se-
cure for the Republicans than In the
present national campaign. The real
men like Charles Stsson and Dr.
aneS L Sullivan, Is either out
apoken for Taft Ike the gentlemen
named. or quietly waiting for election
day. when many Democratic votes
IN be given to the candidates who
represent the policies which have
made Rhode Island aFgreat little
State In New Hampshire, also, the
Ho1d-iine Democrats are largely for
Taft. Among the more prominent
who viii vote for the Republican
candidates are Kirk s. Pierce. of
Hillsboro, nephew and heir, of Pres
1dent Franklin Pierce, and Alvah W..
Sulloway, of Franklin, formerly, DEM
ocratic National Committeeman.
In New York City and State the
number OF Democrats who refuse to
accept Bryan and Gompers Is very
large as the vote on election day will
prove. They are not, as rule, doing
much talking, but they are talking
enough for It to be an open secret
that they want Taft, and Will vote
for him. Many of the leading mer-
chants are Democrats, but It Is said
ON good authority that ninety-nine
IN one hundred are for Taft, because
they regard his election as necessary
Z to business interests. Among New
York Democrats who have come out
solutely and actively for Taft, MT.
John Miles deserves honorable men
ton. Mr.. Miles has sent out many
thousands of circulars. to all parts Of
the United States, favorable to TAFT,
with excellent results. Nearly all re-
Mr.. Frederic r. Coudert, the noted
NEW York lawyer. Is also for Taft
and Major-GeneraI Daniel y. Stckles,
one OF the heroes of Gettysburg, and
heretofore a stanch Democrat, has
come out for Taft. Among other
prominent New York Democrats who
put principle above party In national
affairs is William b. Davenport Tor

lawyer of Brooklyn, New York; Ed
mund Wetmore, ex-president OF the
Harvard Club John RIOS Passos, a
noted lawyer. who voted for Alton b.
e Parker; and Edward j. Maxwell, a
LEI ldingS member of the bar formerly
captain In the Irish Brigade OF the
3 Army of the Potomac, counsel for
general Wade Hampton IN his CON
test for the governorship OF South
CAROLINA, District Attorney ana DEM
octatIc chairman in Colorado and
later city attorney at Amsterdam,
New York, and chairman OF the DEM
ocratic City Committee. Many others
4 might be named who have spoken out
Z for Taft, and very many who speak
foEtySto their intimate friends. 1T Is
shameful truth, also that many
Democratg intend to vote tor Bryan
Fhoswould be appalled, at the thought
OF his election, and who regard the
very suggestion of Bryan's success
a5 d nightmare to be shaken or as
quickly as possible. 1t Is to be hoped
hat all In this category will conclude
