worst in the privations it infiicts. not
only because IL forbids enjoyment of the

long ago as 1904, when Cummins and

was subdued at the time. but Cummns

CAMPAIGN STRAWS.

Some of our Republican friends nave
been amusing themselves taking
straw votes. and we are told that of
eighty-two Americans on board one of
the Atlantic liners only six favored the
election of Mr.. Bryan. It's different out
here.
A young mining man of this city has
had occasion recently to travel on sew
eral of the western railroads and took
occasion to poll the passengers on the
presidential question. On a Union Pa
clfic train coming west from Omaha the
first car polled by our friend contained
thirty-eight votes. twenty-one Repub-
licans and seventeen Democrats. OF
the Republicans nine had made up their
minds to vote for Bryan and two for
Debs, leaving Taft with ten votes. One
Democrat announced his intention of
voting the Socialist ticket. leaving
Bryan twenty-five votes.
In the next car were forty-three
voters OF the Republicans seven had
concluded to go over to the Democra-
cy and one to Socialism. One Demo-
Graf in this car declared his. intention
of voting for Taft.
Our friend later tackled Rio Grande
train. In the car polled there were
eighteen Republicans and seventeen
Democrats Eight of the Republicans
had become tired of their party's per-
formances and announced that they
nanoOnr1f
out of this bunch was lost to the So
cialists. Judge Taft drops back from
eighteen to ten, while Mr.. Bryan ad-
| vances from seventeen to twenty-four.
| The next test was made aboard a
train coming in from Tintic. There
were forty-two men aboard the car
polled. and of the Republicans twelve
announced their preference for Bryan,
while two Democrats We're going TO
vote for Taft. Each party lost vote
to the Socialists out of this car.
Another straw brought in by the
mining man was the fact that the sheep
owners of the west are turning to
Bryan. party of four wool growers
in this state were recently discussing
the political situation. wool prices and
the Roosevelt idea of running the
ranges. and all announced their pur-
pose of voting for the Nebraskan in
November, though three out of the four
had been lifelong Republicans.
| A Straw showing the independence
of the western man in matters political
was discovered by The Herald's in
formant when he kept track for lim-
tied SPACE of time Of the number of
men who were going to change their
politics this fall. While there were 20C
Republicans who were going to vote
for Bryan there were also thirty Dem
ocrats who purposed voting for Taft
the explanation being that the latter
had switched" to Roosevelt -four
years ago and were not ready to re-
turn to the fold.
These are but surface indications OF
the mighty revulsion of sentiment
which will surely carry Bryan into the
| White House.

SPOIlEO HIS WATERMELON.

When Uncle Joe Cannon got off his
famous epigram on Mr.. Bryan he prob
ably thought he had done something
bright Just as bit of cute sarcasm
K was really clever of him TO say that
Mr.. Bryan had made a million selling
wind and ink. But, like some other
cplgrams i'm the worlds history. it was
fatal for its originator because il at
t-acted attention TO Uncle Joe's own
wealth and the sources thereof: and
I.Iyan's reply 10 Cannon is not apt to
be forgotten soon.
in his Olney speech. in Cannon's own
district, the Nebraskan gave a detailed
account of his modest fortune and told
how he earned IL. He estimated it at
$4,000 to $l5O.OOO. though the assessor
Of mis- home county says that valuation
is too high. However that may be, he
proved that Cannon's tale of the Bryan
million was at least SS5O,OOO of it pre-
varication.
But. it was in his invitation to Can
non 20 tell what he owns and what he
sold TO get II that Bryan was most eff
fective. Recounting the fact that Cam
non had been in politics since 1861. and
that he had been working on a salary
which congress regarded as inadequate.
the Democratic candidate asked Mr.
Cannon 10 take the people into his con-
fdence and tell what he was worth
and where he got II. No prophetic
Mr.. Cannon's course i'm response. He
has made the most of his fortune in
franchises secured at no cost to him
self because of his political power. He
enlarged and extended his fortune by
an alliance I'm the Illinois legislature
with c. T. Yerlxes the Chicago traction
magnate and ex-convict. who de-
dauched a whole legislature TO pass
measures for his own profit. His mos.
powerful allies in this debauchery were
the Cannons OF Danville. Joseph and
his brother: and unless they have been
maligned. they took advantage of the
occasion to extend the life of their own
franchises before the Yerkes legislation
could DE repealed on demand of an in
dignant people.
So much for the Cannon fortune. and
so much for the one Republican who is
more OF an issue I'm the campaign than
is the presidential candidate himself
Mr.. Bryan has sold wind and ink for
money. as Mr.. Cannon so courteously
iniimates: but he has not sold ths
franchises of his own people to him
self. nor has he ever been accused OF
alliance with ex-convicts in the ma
nipuIation of legislation for personal
profit. What Mr.. Bryan owns is known
Of all men, as we'll as his means OF
earning It: what Mr.. Cannon owns is
known partially. not wholly; and nc
man save himself. and possibly his
brother. knows the origin of his wealth
II is certain he has not saved 1t from
his salary as congressman: he has moi
made il In any profession: he has not
lectured for money or for the public
good; no one has bequeathed him any
thing. Yet he has great fortune. and
as in the case of Mr.. Croker. il is en-.
tirely pertinent to ask him where he
got IL. even If the query is embar-
RAISING.
In the parlance of the south. We
snould say Uncle Joseph had busted
his watermelon when he went into thu
epigram business and excited Mr.
Bryan's wrath.
