Gates the reelection of Governor
Harmon in that state. The governor
is making an exceptionally effect
i've campaign, and starting out with
safe lead, he has increased it
steadily. His majority should be
far in excess of that of 1908. No
information is at hand to justify; a
statement as to the congressional
campaigns at this time although
there will be very substantial
gain. If we were making a fore
cast, we should say, at least three,
and only Heaven knows how many
more. A very able correspondent
quotes an old republican manager
in the Buckeye state as follows: IF
you can analyze the state. of mind
of the republican voters in Ohio and
accurately chart the currents and
cross-currents that are effecting
and crystalizing public sentiment
you will do more than any of us
have been able to do. There is
restlessness, uneasiness and dissat-
isfaction among the voters of the
state. With some it is caused by
the high cost of living and disap-
prevail of the new tariff law. With
others it is a feeling that the time
has come for a general house-clean-
ing. If the feeling of revolt is as
strong on election day as now it
will be clean sweep. The same
cause that brought about the over
turn in Maine are operating here.
There has been republican graft in
the state House at Columbus, which
Gov. Harmon has exposed, so that,
just as i'm Maine, state issues are
commingled with national issues and
all is working towards the demo-
cracy.'
New Jersey by the nomination of
Woodrow Wilson, President of
Princeton University, has made the
election there of National import
ance. Dr. Wilson is in a brilliant
campaign that has not alone had it's
effect in New Jersey, but has spread
to democratic candidates in many
other states. DR.. Wilson's election
is a safe prediction.

Democracy's fight there is diff
cult as in any of the other so-called
doubtful states, but the result in
Nebraska on the reports so far re-
ceived is less uncertain.
Indiana will show complete
sweep for the democratic congress-
ional candidates. Some leaders are
claiming the entire thirteen districts.

If you vote for l. A. Smith, the
republican candidate for represent
tative you will vote for a man who
will vote in favor of electing a re-
publican United States Senator to
succeed Senator Dolliver who will
continue to carry out the Aldrich-
Cannon ideas. If you believe that
either a democrat or progressive re-
publican should represent Iowa in
the United States Senate you should
vote for Heman Smith. Remember
there are two Smiths this year, both
candidates for representative, so
make no mistake, but vote for He
man G.. Smith.

\ In California Mr.. Bell Ia making
winning campaign for Governor.
Despite the fact that the republican
! party has long claimed the Golden
Gate as certain republican territory
there Is most genuine indications of
a victory there. California can be
hardly less progressive than Maine.
Every newspaper forecasts to date
has shown consistent swing to the
democracy in every section of the
country, and the reports from polit-
ical leaders are the most encourag-
ing the party has received since the
SOS. Nowhere does there seem to be
any party division, and even down
in old New England there is a sniff
of party victory in the air. Judge
Baldwin's fight in Connecticut is a
winning one, and New Hampshire is
sufficiently alarmed as to send for
Theodore Roosevelt to make a few
speeches. After the republican lead
ers secure the service of Mr.. RoOse-
welt, they will have time to ponder
as to whether or not they have an
elephant on their hands. The sena-
torial contest in Delaware and the
gubernatorial campaign in Minnie
sofa have awakened interest else
where than within their state boun-
daries.
Not in years have we witnessed a
better fight than is being put up in
every state in the Union by the state
organizations; never has the party
been SO completely united; never
have the people been so disguised
with republican rule; never has the
congressional . committee shown
greater vim and energy; never have
the prospects of victory been bright
