ern states and the usually doubtful

that, conceding the solid South to Will
son, he will carry 35 states with 429
electoral votes, Roosevelt will carry
seven states with 70 votes, Taft three
states with IL votes, leaving three
states doubtful with 13 votes.

ton to the solid South, the following

chusetts, Maine. New Hampshire,
Rhode Island, Ohio. Indiana, West Vir-

:PITHY REMARKS FROM

YOUR CHOICE ON NOV. ).

beg that when you go to the
polls on the 9Th of November
you will go with quiet minds
and very sober thoughts, for you
are then to make your choice
whether you will live under le-
galized monopoly for the rest of
your lives or seek the ways of
release which it is perfectly pos
sible to find by seeing to it that
those who have oppressed you
open again the field of competi-
ton SO that new men with
brains, new men with capital,
new men with energy in their
veins may build up enterprises
in America, and amid a nation
stimulated to every kind of new
endeavor we shall find again the
paths Of liberty, the paths of
peace, the paths OF common con-
fidence, and theremore the
paths that lead to prosperity
and silccess.-In Indianapolis, Oc-

FEATURES OF THE CONVENTION

niture and other bit of effect intact, all
the conveniences were appreciated that
a democratic politician is capable of CIV
ing. The mansion tucked away as 1t Is
in the shade of the elms in the ultra
classic residence section Is a trife removed
from the electrically lighted places where
policemen usually watch, and delegates
to Baltimore to the manor were somewhat
leary OF visiting the place at dark. One
may go from bar to bar by crossing 30
feet and afterward walk In circles until
he is taken In charge by a bellboy. The
walking means that you first kiss your
wife and daughter good-by with clean
breath and break the news that you have
chartered a taxicab and going on jour
ney.
The trip of handshaking is the trap to
catch a glimpse OF the dignity of the
pompous Uncle" Henry Walsh and the
rare courtesy of Auntie Alvina. Uncle
William graciously escorts you from hard
wood floor to successive harder wood floor
until you are under the caves and look
ing right into his own bedroom in the
servants quarters protected with ashes
tos.
When he has got up he leads you down
again Then on the front exit Uncle
William escorts you, and he bows with
dignity, too. He says a parting Good
afternoon, sir

the dark toned walls. Where the hard
wood does not show on the floor highly
polished wax is found under oriental rugs.
There are no crevices and chacks that
wins the heart of every democrat esthetic
heart. He stroIls in hushed and be-
stricken manr~r in Uncle William s wake.
There are old chandeliers of hammered
brass, beautiful cabinets that exude gen.
tility, sombre paintings of warrior-like
visages, and these permeate the individual
with an old aristocracy and transcenden-
tai aestheticism.
