PROSPECT FOR 1912.
He Declares that Democratic Outlook
Seems Good

In an interview given TO the Har.
rison (Ark) correspondent for the
st. Louis Repu blican. Mr.. Bryan
said
The prospects for a democratic
victory in 1912 look good, and seem
TO be growing better. The first ele-
ment Of strength is the spread of
ideas that are distinctively demo-
cratic. Democratic policies are be-
ing taken up by progressive repub
hcans, and many republicans feel
that if democratic policies are to be
put into operation they should be
intrusted TO democratic officials.
The second source OF democ ratio
strength at this time is found in the
radical division in the republican
party. The epithets which insur-
gents and standpatters apply to
each other are more severe than tue
average criticism a democrat would
make against the average republi-
can. This division runs from the
head of the party down to the
precinct.
with former President Roose-
welt and Vice President Sherman
rival candidates for the temporary
craftsmanship OF the state conven-
ton of the larges state in the union,
with insurgents and standpatters
opposing Zach other as candidates
for senate and congress, the demo
Gratis can not but gain largely, and
1t now seems probable that we shall
have a majority in the house
We shall gain several members
OF the senate. and the progressives
will gain everal more. 1t is entire
ly possible that the democrats and
progressive republicans may con-
troll the senate. When we look back
at the unexpected things that have
happened within the last two years
we get some idea OF what is possible
within the next two years, with a
democratic house and an anti-stand-
pat senate.
Former President Roosevelt is,
OF course, the most prominent, but
the real leader of the insurgent
movement is Senator LaFollette. He
has been at it longer. has worked
harder and has insuI ged in more
different directions than any OF the
rest Of them He was turned out oil

The growth of radicalism in the
republican party makes it expedient
as we'll as right that the democrats
shall stand for progressive meas
ures. No matter whether the re
publicans nominate a stan 1patter oil

the democrats to nominate a radical
If the republicans nominate q stand

IF. on the other hand, the repub
licans nominate an insurgent it will

TWAIN's FIRST LECTURE.

Bret Harte Headed the claque, but the
Audience swamped Them.
Mr.. Clemens prepared lecture for
his San Francisco audience, giving a
most extravagant account Of what he
had seen among the south sea islands.
When Bret Harte and some other Of
his friends were told Of his platform
intention they agreed to go In a body
to the old Mechanics hall, where
Twain was to deliver himself, and
form big claque that would insure
the success of the affair.
Mark wrote his own handbflls, which
set the town agog with anticipation.
One particularly inviting phrase print
ed at the bottom Of the announcement
was, 1.-THE trouble win begin at 8 p. m"
The hall was crowded, and the claque
was uproarious when Clemens appear
ed upon the platform. The lecture was
delivered with manifest effort in a
slow, deliberate. drawing manner, and
the lecturer paid no heed whatever to
the inconsiderate demands Of Faster.

and other urgent calls.
Although Harte tried to steer the
claquers, they insisted upon applaud

which may or may not have been In
tended as a joke on Twain, but at last
the audience, which began to catch on
to the unique style Of the man and TO
appreciate his quantity whimsical ut
terances, overwhelmed the claQue and
had things its own way.
An old timer who attended the lee
fure says of the effect Of Twain upon
his first audience: Ills slow drawl,
the anxious and perturbed expression
OF his visage, the apparently painful
effort with which he framed his SEN
fences and. above all, tho surprise that
spread over his face when the audi
ence roared with delight or rapturous-

unlike anything of the kind they had
ever known. The lecture was a great

Nor LONG since some of the railroads in
this state decided to increase their COM
mutation rates. This, of course, aroused
all sorts of indignation and the Governor
was appealed to with the idea of having
an extra session of the Legislature con-
vened to consider the situation. This was
finally abandoned and the rates will
probably go up. 1t will be remembered
that there were several attempts to have a
railroad commission appointed with
power to make rates. This was defeated,
the Legislators claiming it was beyond
them to make any such law. But at the
same time the Legislature found nothing

FOLLOWING instructions issued by the
printing committee of the Board of Free
holders the newspapers will not do any
more county printing until further orders.
This state of affairs has been brought
about by the exhaustion of the appropri-
alton for printing. This is one step in the
right direction. When an appropriation
Ia exhausted and there is no money in
sight for work on that particular line,
shut it of. The amount set of for print
Ing was not as large as it should haye
been considering the great amount OF
work that seems to have been necessary
for the Office of the County Clerk, very
large proportion of the printing appropri
alton having gone In that direction. An.
other item might be taken into consider
alton, and that Is that some of the county
papers charge the price agreed upon fol
the county work. while others put on sc
per cent. more and the committee lets II
go through. The sum that would bt
taken OF, however, would not make such
great saving, 1t would merely put all OF
the same basis. But that does not altel
the fact that at least one appropriation
has been exhausted and the Board Of
Freeholders has decided to keep watch OF
the situation. For this they are to b,
commended and 1t is hoped that every
expenditure viii be closely guarded 81
