DEMOCRATS Will WIN
JAMES D. WATSON GIVES DEMoc'
RACY 80 MAJORITY.
Puts Blame on Roosevelt-Former
President Intensified Insurgent OPP
position-Made no New Ones.

New Neutrality-suspicious. James
d. Watson of Indiana, who used to
be the Republican whip in the house,
and who is an active campaigner.
made some startling statements with
regard to the outlook before the Re
publican party at the present time.
so far as the fall elections are ocn-
cerned, and gave it as his belief that
present Indications are for a Demo
cratic majority in congress next year
Of at least thirty.
Mr.. Watson blamed Col. Roosevelt
not for the making Of new insurgents
or progressives, but for helping to
align them so distinctly that there is
little hope of their getting together as
things stand.
81 was out West with Vice-Presl

been campaigning in eleven states

eyes and predict big majorities. Inc

situation that is acute, and it is nc

st is absolutely necessary for the
Republicans to get together every
where. The indications are now that
the next house will be Democratic by
at least thirty majority, unless the
Republicans do unite. We are losing
Republican congressman all the way
from Maine to California.
"As for Roosevelt, I honestly do not
believe he has made a single new In
surgent for all his rhetoric. But what
he has done has been to intensity the
feeling Of those who were insurgent
at heart, and to emphasize the split
in the party.

WEATHER AND THE CROPS
Government Bulletin Tells Effect or
Cotton and Corn.

Washington, D. C.-The weather OF
the past week, as it affected crops, is
set forth in the national weekly
weather bulletin of the department Of
agriculture as follows:
"As a whole, the weather during the
early part of the week was too moist
and sultry over the principal corr
growing states, and during the mid
die and latter parts it was generally
too cold for the rapid maturing OF
vegetation, and some light to heavy
frosts occurred at exposed points.
"In the cotton growing states east
of the Mississippi the week generally
was warm and sunshiny. Some heavy
local rains occurred in many portions
Of the districts, but the average waf
generally less than the normal, and
conditions were mostly favorable

ELECTION FRAUDS CHARGED
Votes Sold for Twenty-Five Cents in
Illinois.

Chicago, Ill.-Ballot box stuffing.
vote buying and selling at from Is
cents to 81, repeating, voting of dea,
men and in the names of citizens reg
istered-these all figured in the frauds
that marked the primaries in Chicago,
despite the extraordinary precautions
of the election board. Hundreds OF
complaints swamped the commission
ers. While there was little violence
and no rioting, several arrests were
made on charges of bribery or repeat
ing.
Judge George A. Dupuy of the Supe-
rior Court was selected for a victim
in one of the most successful frauds
of the day. When Judge Dupuy ar
rived at the polls and vas told some
one had voted in his name he insisted
on his right to cast a ballot. Appeal
was made to the election board and
his ballot was accepted.

WORLDS WHEAT YIELD SHORT
Crop Will Be Above the Average,
Nevertheless.

Washington, D. C.-While this
years world acreage sown to wheat
was doubtless the largest in history
GAS, 00O, 900 ~acres), it is not unlikely
according to the United States depart
ment of agricultural epxerts, that the
world yield of wheat will be short oil
the high record of last year, 1854, 600,
900 bushels, yet the crop is reason
ably certain to go down in history
as quantitatively above the average
When the final figures are made VI
it will not be surprising to find the
total world yield short of the higt
record, 3,642,000 bushels last year.

TAFT WILL NOT STEP ASIDE
VIII Accept Nomination for Second
Term II Offered.

Beverly, Mass.-The publication OF
q story purporting to come from Bev-
erly and announcing that President
Taft had decided to step aside as a
candidate in 1912 to make way for
Col. Roosevelt, brought many inqui-
ries to the summer capital today. For
q time an official denial vas consid-
cred, but it was decided not to dignity
the story, which is reported to be
without foundation, with a statement.
1t can be stated that there has been
no change in President Taft's attitude
toward a second term since he told a
number of friends a few months ago
that he would accept a second nomina-
ton if his party desired to tender it
to him, and if that portion of the
American people represented by his
party seemed to want him.
