The Richmond Journal saws
that the New York papers are
beginning to sit up and take
notice of the unexpected strength
that Bryan is developing in that
State. The wise and judlcious
conservatism that he has dis
played since his nomination is
having its effect even in New
York, and is bringing to his sup
port men and elements that were
least counted upon. The cam
palgn began with New York con-
coded to the Republicans, together
with practically all of the terri
tory east of the Ohio and north
of the Potomac; now there are
several States there in which we
have more than fighting chance,
and the Republicans are showing
distinct anxiety about New York.

FULLY avoid Mr.. Bryan's slogan,
shall the people rule" 1t says:
ut is a cheap show of mock
indignation which would imply
from Bryan's question, shall the
people rule, that they do not now
exercise this right merely because
they are venal. They have been
tricked out of power by methods
of which Cannon. Dalzell and
Sherman are past masters, in,
and which training in the soph
istry that deludes the whole
country into taxing Itself by a
protective tariff into making
trusts and combines promotes.
The fear of the Republican party
is lest the plundered and defraud-

common people. assert themselves

The man who wins the West
is not'going to be elected. That
is not the battle ground. The
two scenes of interest are back
where they have been for years
in New York and Indiana. When.
ever they both went Democratic
the Democrats won. aud when
they did not the Republicans
were victorious. 1t is the same
today az it was "a aud even 81
years ago.
The total vote in the Electoral
College will be 493, with 242
necessary for choice. The South
will give Bryan l27 votes when
Oklahoma is included. Kentucky
and Missouri will bring this vote
to 15S. Indiana has Is. Ne
brasaa s, Colorado 8, Nevada 3,
California 10 aud Maryland s.
If Bryan should carry them all,
as he probably will, the vote of
New York will determine the
election. New York and Indiana
are the pivotal States. If Bryan
can carry them both be will have
246 votes, or four more than is
necessary Taft can win without
New York if he gets Indiana.

From all sections of Indiana
comes good reports. The Louis

gate, the veteran editor, of the
Shelbyville Daily Ne,os, one of
the best known and most intlu-
entail newspaper men in the
State is firm in his belief that
Taft will not carry Indiana and
that Tom Marshall will be elect
ed Governor. He has voted for
every Republican nominee for
President from Lincoln down to
Roosevelt. Republican pros
poets for success in Indiana look
gloomy remarked Wingate re
Gently. TO my mind, the polit-
ical battle III Indiana has yet to
be won, with the chances most
favorable to the Democracy.
They have no entangling ALI
ances. Harmony exists in every
Congressional District. Bryan
and Kern are both immensely
popular with the Indiana Democ.
racy. They will poll more votes
than any other Democratic ticket
that could have been nominated.
But how Is it with the Republi-
cans? The steam roller at Chic
ago seems to have taken oil of
the enthusiasm out of the State
organization. The Indiana Re
publicans received slap in the
face at Chicago which crushed
their pride and cut their feathers
IN an alarming manner. They
are certainly without hope. at
least for this campaign. They
have been given notice that they
are not wanted, aud have been
ordered to the rear to repent in
sack cloth and ashes for having
the audacity to oppose Mr..
ROOsevelt's pet candidate for the
Presidency. Then they have
other troubles to grieve over aud
discourage them, among them q
weak State ticket, with the can
didate for Governor in bad repute
with the labor organizations, the
old soldiers and the temperance
people. The campaign opens with
the Republicans upon the defens-
i've, and it is bound to continue

had county reputation. Since taking
possession of this store Mr.. Barrows
has increased the stock along all lines
and has brought it strictly up to date
in every particular. In fact with COM
petition from the other model stores
in Barton he could not well hold his
patronage with anything but an up-tO-
date stock That he has a modern
stock is proven by the fact that the
business has increased constantly dur
ing the past six years so that he is
now selling more than $50. 900 tn
of goods per year. If there is moral
to be drawn from this it is that by buy
ing such vast amount of goods Per
year Mr.. Barrows is able to buy at
prices so low IS to enable him to make
it worth while for people to trade at
his store. However that may be peo-
pie do not necessarily buy where they
can buy the cheapest. Quality some
times counts and the manner of treat
ment received by the customer is sure
to affect future sales. The fact that
Mr.. Barrows can sell 100000 worth of
goods per year is positive proof that
his prices are right, his goods of su-
perior quality and his treatment of
customers all that could be desired.
The stock of goods carried is that of
any we'll equipped dry goods store with
additional lines of carpets, boots and
shoes and groceries.

Vienna, Oct. 9.-War between Austria Hungary and Servia is a recognized possibility, although it is believed here that it will be ayerted. King Peter is in a difficult position on account of the clamor of the Ser vians for war, particularly since his tenure on the throne never has been very safe
 The Austrians on their part, have new feeling of national enterprise on account of the forward movement in the annexation of Bosnia and HerZe- gonia and would be more ready for further adventure now than they were a week ago That the government recognizes the possibility, the military precautions in Hungary show.

|Au FOR DEP WATERWAY.
SPEAKERS AT LAkES.To-THE- GULF CONVENTION HEADED
 BY JUDGE TAFT
DIFFERENCES ARE INSISTENT
Every Speaker Urged increase in Transportation Facilities to Keep Pace With Internal Com
 merce of the Country.

Chicago, Oct S.-A picture of lays when stately ships shall carry the rich products of the central states from the great lakes to the Gulf of Mexico through a deep waterway re- turning with products of no less value, was conjured up Wednesday before the delegates and visitors to the third annual convention of the Lakes-to-the- Gulf Deep Waterways association by able speakers headed by Judge Will liam H. Taft.
 Wednesdays utterances were au- thoritatively for they came from Sec retary Saunders of the association, Secretary Kavanaugh head of the or ganization; Governor Charles S. Deneen, of Illinois, who spoke of the first link of the great water way-the Chicago drainage canal and w. II. Taft, who had general supervision Tn Washington, on the building of the Panama canal until he resigned 10 become the presidential nominee Of the Republican party.
 The need of such a waterway was insisted upon by every speaker Question of Transportation.
 The question of transportation, II was declared, is one of the most seri- ous questions with which this country has to deal
 Judge Taft's insistence that not only the deep waterway, but the conserva- tion of the national resources were re- lated subjects which called for imme- diate action, elicited great applause, His statement that the waterway was not project, but a policy, found ready response in cheers of his audi ence.
 Judge Taft said:
 We find that during the ten yeas ending with 1905 the internal com merce of country has increased llS percent. while railroad transportation facilities during the same time have increased only ? percent. It has been pointed out that to supply this def cicency by the construction of addi- tional railroads and necessary termi- nals would require capital invest ment s5. 300, 100000 and this construc- tion when completed would make no provision for the further increase in our commerce"
 The only solution of this problem. the speaker found in deep waterways. The convention opened at 10 o'clock with a prayer by Bishop Samuel Eel lows, of Chicago William K Kavan- augh, president of the association then delivered his annual address and William F Saunders, secretary read his report.
