Taft will have 325 electoral
votes. The "Solid South" will
be broken by Bryan losing Mary
land and probably Missouri and
Kentucky. Ohio is safe for the
republican party, and with the
possible exception of Montana

TRUE TO COMPERs
Statements From Four Labor Leaders
Taft Claimed to Have Won
Are Read.
CANDIDATE IN BAD LIGHT
All misquoted for Purpose Of Checking
lnroads Upon Labor Vote by
the Democrats.

Chicago, Nov. chairman Mack
wired from New York last night that
President Samuel Gompers of the
American Federation of Labor deliv-
cred a magnificent speech in that city,
effectively replying to statements by
Judge Taft, which misrepresent the
position of labor in this campaign.
The cpcech made a profound impress
sicn and practically insures that the
labor vote of the country will be cast
for Mr.. Bryan.
statements show Deception.
At Rochester few days since Judge
Taft read the names of four prominent
labor leaders whom he declared had
|repudiated Gompers and would sup
pert hirn.
Mr. Gompers completely turned the
tables on Judge Taft by reading state.
ments from all four of them. The
kilograms were from John Mitchell
Daniel O'Keefe, James Duncan and
Max Morris, who declared that judge
Taft had misquoted them.
Are Backing Gompers.
They not only convicted the repu.
lican presidential candidates of mis-
Iquoting them, but stated that they ar
in full sympathy with the course al
socated by Mr.. Gompers who ha
; taken the stump for Mr. Bryan. Con
: lrers received great ovation when
finished reading the kilograms.

1t will therefore be seen that Bryan
is assured of majority of 40 in the
electoral college. while his majority
will more probably be 72, and may
possibly be as high as 1913.

Penitent and Resourceful.

Church Army tells a story OF a man
who came under the Influence Of the
society at n mission held at York, Eng
land. The man, n notorious pickpock-
ct. was so impressed by what he heard
that he felt he must do something to
show his determination to lead a new
life. He considered the best way to
do this was to put something into the
collection, but unfortunately he had
no money in his pocket. Then n bright
idea struck him; he picked the pocket
of the man sitting next him, and thus
was able to contribute to the good
work. 1t Is said the man has been re-
claimed definitely.
