Blames Roosevelt for Conditions.

NEW YORK. Sept. l5.-James d.
Watson. former congressman from In
diana. and whip" OF the Republican
party IN The house, thinks present In
dications point 10 a Democratic ma
jority in congress next year OF al
least 80. Mr.. Watson blamed Col.
Roosevelt. not for making new In
surgents or progressiyes, but for help
ing TO a:.gn them so distinctly that
thers is little hope or their getting TO-
gether as things stand.
Il was cut west with Vice-Presi-
dent Sherman In Missouri and Okla

We had an annual Republican clam
bake 10 miles out Of Utica and though
il was a bad day IL was a good meet
ing.
But | have already been campaign
ing in IL states this year, and | tell
you the situation Is bad for the Re'

acute, and IL is no use TO shut our

any means.
''Of course, the eyes OF the whole
country just now are turned upon New

what is going TO happen, and can
not find anybody who does. My own
motion is that IL there is close vote
on the craftsmanship, IL is going To
be a bad thing. though | believe that
anything short of an overwhelming
victory for Roosevelt is defeat for
him.

Even on the western trip he declined

CLEVELAND MAKES GAIN.
Census Figures Show Population To
Be 560,663.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.-The
census bureau this afternoon an
nounced that the 1910 population of
Cleveland, o., Is 560,663, which is an
increase of 17s,ss5 or 46.s per cent.
This puts Cleveland In sixth place,
with Baltimore unaccounted for
Clevelands big increase sends her
far ahead of her rivals, Pittsburg
1888 ,905), Detroit GAGS, 1860 and Buff
falo (423,715).
Baltimore, which stood in sixth
place in 1900, has not been announced
as yet for 1910. In 1900 Baltimore
had 50S,957, while Cleveland at that
time had only 3S1,76S. Unless Balti-
more shows a big increase, Cleveland
may pass the monument city. Census
officials, however, said this afternoon
that il was not likely, and the i'm
preston was that when Baltimore Is
announced, Cleveland will retain her
place as the seventh city, with Pitts
burg as her nearest rival. There Is a
possibility that San Francisco may
have so far recovered from the effects
OF the fire and earthquake as to be a
contender with Cleveland and Pitts.

plunged downward, like the stick of a
