not only in order to secure his election
but in order to enable him after cleo
tion to carry out those progressive pol

His nomination ranks among the most
encouraging events in American bis

" leadership of Col. Bryan-the ideals
of American democracy triumphed owe
the reactionaries of their money bags

The democratic party has purified il
self and has been purged of its assoeia

and omnipresent. The struggle is a

The Barometer" State, Vermont. is
being watched with some considerable
interest by political leaders. The re-
ports at democratic headquarters have
been most encouraging.
The election of state officers is al

presidential vote is cast
Vermont is nominally republican for
governor with more than $4,000.
While the Green Mountain state has
only four votes in the electoral college
political students declare that the fall

Governor Wilson will deal almost
entirely, it is expected, with the prob
lens of immigration and the false inn
,pressions that have been put upon his
views by the quotations of ISOLATED
sentences from his different books.
Governor John Burke of North Da-
kota, is assured of the success of VIII
SON and Marshall, and has sent the
following signed statement to demo-
cratic headquarters:
Wilson will win in the coming cleo
ton for the reason that the democrats
are united and the republicans divided.
There is no good reason why any DEM
ocrat should not vote for Wilson. His
record since he has been in public life
lis a platform in itself that appeals not
only to the democratic voters but to
many republicans as we'll They know
that he is one of the greatest intellect
lual men that we have had in public
life, and while he stands firmly for
democratic principles he is never of
fensive and there is no partisan feel
ing against him. The division in the
Republican party will give to Wilson
all the pivotal states and many that
lhave not been considered.
| tRoosevelt will not be as strong a
candidate in the election as he was
| in the primaries. AS candidate be-
fore the national republican conven-
ton he was republican, seeking the
nomination as a republican from a re-
publican convention. It was the Grand
old party then that he was trying to
redeem. If he had received the nomi-
nation the party would have been re,
deemed, reformed and: purified He
did not receive the nomination and
hence the republican party is rotten
and empty lifeless shell without a
soul, controlled and run by the bosses
-all because it didn't nominate Col.
Roosevelt. Thousands Of republicans
supported him in the primaries, not
because they preferred him personally
to President Taft, but for the reason
that he was more popular with the
lpeople and stood better chance of
election. But he is not republican
now; he left the republican party and
| is running as candidate Of another
party in opposition to the regular re
publican candidate, and will only have
his personal following in the election
He has a personal following; it will
come almost exclusively from the re
publican party and will be sufficient
in numbers to insure the election Of
Governor Wilson"

SUCCESS IS
IN The AIR

New York, Aug. 27.-The fact that
he is brother of the democratic can
didate for president has not made any
difference with Joseph R. Wilson.
Mr.. Wilson, who is the city editor
of the Nashville Banner, has joined
the publicity department under the
direction of Josephus Daniels.
Mr.. Wilson is a veteran newspaper
worker and long hours at national
headquarters in New York have had
no terrors for him.
To the hundreds of callers at ma
tional headquarters he is more or less
point of curiosity. but he is entirely
Unconscious of the interest he creates,
as he bends over his desk preparing
copy in behalf of his brother.
"Of course am doubly interested in
the success of the democratic ticket,
explained Mr.. Wilson But the fact
that my brother is candidate for
the presidency did not change my
views or attitude. The only thing that
grow impatient over is that everyone
seems to think that l will have a poll
tisal job after Wilson and Marshall
are elected.
"That is not my idea at all. ex-
,pect to return to my newspaper duties
and / will be entirely satisfied if in a
small way | help bring about the sue
cess of the democratic ticket"
Mr.. Wilson is an inveterate smoker
and his one bad habit is that he for
gets to go to lunch. One of the Office
boys in the national headquarters has
been delegated to remind him every
five minutes between twelve and one
o'clock that i is time to eat. Mr. Will
sons inyariable answer is, In min
ute, and he is again lost in the midst
of preparing copy. But in failing to
go to lunch Mr. Wilson is only follow
ing the habit of practically all the
workers in the democratic national
headquarters.
we are too much interested" is
the usual reply of department chiefs
or important assistants. when the ques-
tion of eating comes up.

bureau of the democratic national com.
mittee.

Ohio, and before joining the staff of

Mr.. Macauley's Sunday school teacher
and when the young artist started for
New York to make a sportsman and
reputation he was given a letter of in
PRODUCTION to book publisher of New
York by Mr.. Mckinley This letter
however was never used.
Mr. Macauley is president of the
New York Press Club and in his leis
ure hours deyotes his time to expert
book binding and the chasing of ths
elusive trout.
The speakers bureau of the demo
cratic national committee arranged tht
list of speakers to canvasss Vermont

Governor Cruce has been consider
ing the matter of calling a special ses-
sion of the legislature to abolish a
number of county Offices or to consoli-
date different county offices. In reply
to letter from the governor, Attor-
ney General West gives the opinion
that county Office can be abolished
at any time-eyen after the official has
been inducted into Office. 1t has been
the common opinion that an office can
not be abolished while the incumbent
is serving the term to which he has
been elected, but that he must be al
lowed to serve out his term West is
