It's all in the point Of view and the

that's what is the matter with Mr.. Taft.
Didn't he ever hear that in any insurance
business those who win get money from
those who lose.
There's Just one thing more to be men
toned about this campaign. It's about
the colored vote. Just the same as
they are everywhere else. many democrats
are claiming they will get a great deal
of the colored vote this fall Two things
1 ran into out here last night bear upon
this question.
A Colored Vote Tip.
While Mr.. Lewis was talking at the town
hall there was a disturbance in the rear.
Everybody thought it was one Of the
dows. 1t wasn't. but that doesn't make
any difference. Anyhow. somebody start
ed from the platform to quell it. A demo-
crat sitting up near the front beckoned to
the self-constituted policeman as he
passed down the aisle.
Who's making that noise?" he asked.
ITS one of those colored people, said
the policeman.
Put him out. He has no business In
here, anyhow" was the snapped-out re-
Spouse.
After the meeting saw a couple Of COL

many of his race will vote for Bryan this
fall.

announced. with a broad and knowing
grin. 90 co'se. some folks say they's
goin to be some cullud votes this year,
but don't you believe that. Yves had

So there are two sides to that question,
too.

other county democratic spellbinders are

be in Bethesda, Tuesday in Kensington.
Wednesday In Olney, Thursday in Bur-

Mr.. Lewis says he's going to carry
Montgomery county and Allegheny coun-

chance to carry them. He even thinks he
will push the republicans in Garrett.

NEW YORK, September 19.-In view
of the extent and the general circum-
stances Of yesterdays rally in prices, this
mornings stock market gave a fairly
good account of itself. Higher prices
were commonly scored at the outset of
the dealings, and while later irregular
and somewhat reactionary tendencies APP
peared. the declines were in few cases
really extensive.
The firm tone exhibited at the opening
Of the market was in a measure due to
the advances In American stocks reported
from London and the quotations from
that point were followed up by quite lib
eral purchases here for foreign account.
In view of the course of affairs in the
money market during the past fortnight
there was rather more than the usual
discussion of the probable showing of

peared during the morning suggesting
that the exhibit would be much less I'M
favorable than had been commonly eX-

He Has a Taking Way.

It's the way he has of talking that does
1t, all right He says privately that he
can't argue before jury unless he knows
there are three or four blockheads on
1t that have to be convinced by having
arguments literally pounded into them.
and that he can't talk at all we'll at a
political meeting unless he believes there
are some republicans within hearing who
represent the same class, as far as he Is
concerned. Perhaps 1t is this sort of
speechmaking that got him into his most
noticeable oratorical habit. He shakes
his head like a terrier with an old shoe.
and slaps his hands together as If he
would break them off at the wrists. He
throws his words at you with all his
ciously. Somehow, too, he makes you
believe that he Is, at least in part, right
in what he says.
There Is one man in public life today
to who'll he bears remarkably close
resemblance in figure and manner and
in what he has to say, and that is a
republican, too-at least, he calls himself
consin. Both are small, very small:
both have the same vicious. snappy way
of talking. and both manage to be con-
vincing. Also, both are good scrappers
off as we'll as on the platform.
Mr. Lewis father was a miner at $40
a month not so very long ago. The son,
also, knows what 1t is to work in the
mines of Allegany county. That is the
reason he got elected to the state senate
a few years ago in a republican county
The miners like him for what he was
and for what he Is. He Is called a good
lawyer now, and It Is because he studied
hard at night when a very young man.

Mr.. Lewis Vote-Getters.

Two principal arguments are being
made use OF by MIR. Lewis in his Mont
gomery county tour. The first Is that
Col Pearre ought not to be allowed to
monopolize the Office of representative
from the sixth district. He starts out
his speeches by reading a list of the
representatives from the district since the
civil war, showing that most of them
served two and tour years, and none
longer than six.
Now heres Col. Pearre.' he declares
asking for two years more after he has
already been in Congress ten years."
Then he turns to the ladies, who are
nearly always part Of the political audi
ences out here, and says:
What chance, l ask you, has q son OF
yours to get a high office in the service of
the people OF this county if men like Col
Pearre are around?
And every good democrat, and one or
two republicans now and then, nod their
heads approvingly.
Mr. Lewis other argument centers
around that bank deposit guarantee busi-
ness of Bryans. After telling all about
it, he takes up Mr.. Taft's opposition
thereto. and then tells a story. He's a
good story-teller, too, by the way. Told
'em about Irishnen Dutchmen and
Scotchmen and what not last night. anu
did the initiating very creditably indeed.
OF course this helps.
Mr. Taft he says. takes the position
that a lot of good banks will have to
suffer for bad ones, II such a law Is en-
acted. That reminds him
