DEMOCRATIC CHANCE IS NOW
BRILLIANT

TIL New York Herald, which pos
sesses a skill and accuracy seldom
eoualleI in feeling the political pulse,
is astonished at the result of its re-
cent investigation. About the first OF
September they estimated that Mr..
Taft had 2OG sure electoral votes and
that MIR. Bryan had only 1G1 sure
votes of the PIP necessary to elect In
recent issue of that paper they de-
clared that Ohio, North Dakota, Kan
sas and Oregon, which they had plac-
ed in the sure republican column
must be taken out and placed III the
doubtful column with strong demo-
cratic leanings. The New York Her
aid. during the last twenty-eight years
has been an unerring political pro
phet. and while it is an independent
paper. the forecast that they make
shows that Bryan's election is now
almost certain. This discovery was
great puzzle to the Herald at the
outset. but they have now discovered
the secret. 1t is RO0sevelt's despOti-
cal dictation to the republican leaders
that has resulted in a feeling OF dis
gust and apathy not equalled in Har-
risOn's overwhelming defeat in 1892.
All the leading republicans feel that
the nomination of Mr. Taft was not
made by the republican party, but by
the direct appointment Of Mr.. ROOse-
welt himself. 1nis is a kind of pOliti-
cal game not relished by republicans,
and it is said that hundreds of life
long republicans in every republican
county are going to cast their ballot
for Mr. Bryan as a rebuke for this
dictatorship. They want to teach Mr..
Roosevelt a lesson that will be re-
membered by all of his successors in
the White House.

HAS THERE BEEN A DEAL?

Reading between the lines Of the
progress of the campaign, the impress
sion is gaining ground that in at
least two of the great states a I'oll-
cal deal has been made which the
head of the democratic ticket IS to
be sacrificed to save those two states.
The New York World has lately
completed a canvass, or dummy vote
OF New YOrl.. and figure out that Taft
will carry the state by fifteen thou
sand votes. while Chanler will carry
it over Hughes by nearly two hun
dred thousand.
No reliance as to positive results
can be placed on figures thus obtain
ed, but even if they are grossly IN
accurate. the vote shows that there
is an effort being made in New York
to save Taft. even if the republicans
have 10 throw over Hughes to accom-
plish their purpose.
The other side Of the Shield shows
that there are democrats, VINO, Il or
der 20 save their own political pull
and perpetuate their private power,
are willing 10 throw over Mr. Bryan
tor the sake Of saving ChanIer and the
rest Of the state ticket.
Il The Worlds figures show anything
they show that just deal has been
made.
In Illinois the conditions are almost
Identical, except that no reasonable
person has ever figured that that
state would be anything but republi-
can.
The democratic candidate for gov
ernor will probably be elected, but
with a loss Of votes to Mr.. Bryan,
which. of course, will not materially
change the national result.
Whether the scheme, suggested by
the Worlds figures can be fully car
ried out remains to be seen, but Mr.,
Bryan is showing his political sagac-
ity in getting into the "enemy's
country" and contending every inch
of the ground with his opponent.
1t is probable that the common peO-
pie will not permit themselves to be
thus traded off between the leaders.
MI Bryan's strengths is with the
common people and his appeals to
them will be a strong force to hold
them in line with the democracy.-
