NEW FACTOR IN CAMPAIGN

The situation so far as any likely pre-
dictions go can truthfully be called
chaotic. The Progressive party has
been largely responsible for introduc-
ing an air OF more than ordinary I'M
certainty. This party has put the wo-
man suffrage issue into a more con-
crete form. and this tact increases the
uncertainty of the result About 1000
600 women will vote for president. and
Il would be impossible to guess Alright
which way this big vote will so in
consequence of the many recent eff
forts 10 court the favor Of the suffra-
gists.
OF vast Importance in this election is
the senatorial fight. as a change Of
I'VE members would reverse the control
of that august body. Here again the
Progressive party has been disturb
ing factor for the two big parties, as
n has put up candidates in most of

litical opinions at the polls, and when
the returns are counted Washington
and the country will know how the
army of government clerks and others
which make up the 100000 population
of the District of Columbia stands po-
litically.
The District of Columbia election,
however. is not legal. 1t is an expert
mental election. Its purpose is to de-
termine first how many citizens of vot-
. ing age want to vote; second, to show
to the country, including congress, that
a cityful of American citizens want
the right to vote and, third. to test the
sentiment for home rule for Washing
ton"
This "direct action scheme is the
plan of the Suffrage league of the Dis
trict of Columbia. Ancient ward lines
which existed when Washington did
vote will be retraced. Booths will be
set up in schoolhouses, drug stores and
corner grocery shops. Watchers will
be pressed into service, statisticians
employed to figure up the results and
all the machinery of a November cleo
ton assembled and oiled up ready for
running.

a HAIR RAISING VIGIL.
Story of the Fearful Predicament of
Hindu Hunter.

An extraordinary tale of a Hindu
hunters presence of mind and self
control is told by Ernest Young in
Adventures Among Hunters and
Trappers,'' on the authority of Colonel
Campbell, Il British officer in the In
dian service. y tiger had carried off
a number of cattle from the vicinity
of a small village in India. Bussapa,
the chief hunter resolving to put an
end to these depredations, found where
the beasts lair was, fastened up
young bullock as a bait and sat down
near it-but we'll to ieeward-to watch
His only protection in case of attack
on the part of the tiger was a small
bush. Soon after sunset the tiger put
in his appearance, pounced on the bull
lock and began his supper. While he
was gorging himself with the warm
flesh and blood of his victim Bussapa
thrust his long, clumsy matchbox
through the bush and fired.
The tiger was wounded, but not
killed. Bussapa was only few yards
away, completely defenseless- Had he
dared to reload his movements would
have proclaimed his whereabouts. His
bare knees were pressed against the
gravel, which was cutting into his
flesh.
There he knelt, getting sitter and
sitter, while just in front of him was
the tiger, growing hoarsely over his
evening meal and keeping one eye on
the BUSH whence he appeared to sus-
pect danger.
The pain of his cramped position
increased every moment. Suspense be
came almost intolerable. but the mo-
ton of limb. the rustling of leaf,
would have been death He heard the
gong of the village strike each hour OF
that fearful night The mosquitoes
swarmed round his face, but he dared
not brush them off.
At length the welcome dawn began
to light up the eastern horizon. On
the approach of the day the tiger rose
and stalked away. growing sulkily, to
q thicket at some distance
One would have thought that after
such night of suffering Bussapa
would have been too thankful for his
escape to venture on any further risk
But as soon as he had stretched his
cramped limbs and restored his slug
gish circula ton he reloaded his match
lock and coolly proceeded to finish his
work With his match lighted, he adj
vanced alone to the tiger, lying ready
TO receive him. and shot him dead
while he was in the act of charging.

ELECTION NIGHT

1t might be well to dwell upon an
other side of election day, to some
little more entertaining than resume
Of political events, forecasts and sta
tistics. In every city and In many
towns and villages the bulletin board
plays an important part on election.
Around II are gathered, according to
the size of the locality, hundreds or
thousands of citizens. waiting for the
returns, which come in frequently by
wire and are posted for the benefit of
the anxious enthusiasts.
In the larger cities special stands are
erected, from which the results are re-
fiected by magic lanterns on to great
white sheets out in the OPEN A sea
of humanity stands below these, and
as each mineral is thrown on the
sheet, showing victory for one or the
other of the candidates. a cheer goes
up from the crowd. while extra good
news is received with deafening APP
plause. which echoes and re-echoes
from thousands of Threats for many

present private parties gather in the
homes of wealthy men. where special
wires are Installed and at the political
clubs the members and their friends
are treated TO first hand information
Another incident of election day
which has become popularized in some
places is the Mardi Gras- In New
York city in recent years 1t has OBJ
tanned a big following. There the
city's principal streets are cIocged with

LAST OF THE THUNDER

Especially now, the last week OF the
campaign. broadside after broadside is
being exchanged in the final endeavor
to gain an advantage and draw from
the strength of the contending parties.
The presidential and vice presidential
nominees are making their last stand
IN the glow of the biggest fireworks
display of the fight. reserved for the
dnish- In these remaining crucial mo-
ments they are making their appeal In
the large centers OF popula ton. where
thousands listen to their exhortations.
All the candidates have made new
friends. In fact, no man ever has a
chance to run for public Office unless
he has the faculty OF making friends
No party wants to take chances by
putting up a candidate who cannot
make a good impression when he ap-
pears in public as a vote seeker.
In this campaign the presidential and
vice presidential nominees have quail
fed I'm this respect Taft's celebra ted

smile have added to the friends of

and prevent the Progressives from
holding the balance of power.
A feature of the senatorial situation
on the Democratic side has been the
battle between Woodrow Wilson and
James Smith, Jr., of New Jersey, for
merly a United States senator from
that state. Smith was one of Wilson's
first presidential boomers, but the two
men had a falling out and became i'm
placable political enemies. When Will
son won the nominat ton Smith said the
personal fight was over and he would
join Wilson's supporters. The trou-
BILE had been due to Smiths wish to
return to the senate, which ambition
Wilson antagonized. Then when Smith
thought the political skies looked fair
er he announced his candidacy again,
but Wilson came out fat footed
against him.

England has a National Mouse club

type on breeders and judges as the

rATHO are you going to vote forf
AAE Perhaps you may think this
wv a personal question, but ev-
erybody's asking it. Even
you may be interrogating yourself on
this point. 1t is a popular query, for
the presidential election of Nov. 5 is
almost here, and every man and wom-
an in the United States who has
vote and even those who are denied
the privilege of the ballot are DESTROYS
of ascertaining for personal satisfac-
ton which way the wind is blowing in
their particular neighborhood-
In some states lesser offices are to
be filed at this election. Some thirty
states will elect governors. 435 mem
bers of the house of representa- uves
are to be selected, and the terms
of thirty-one senators will expire. OF
the latter eighteen are Republicans
and thirteen Democrats. The Repub-
icans and National Progressives in the
present house have total strength
exceeding the Democrats by eight.
Many positions Of less degree are to
be filed by the verdict of the people
MT the polls. A condition out of the
ordinary exists in every state. The
sudden looming up of the Progressive
party this year has turned states here
tofore peaceful enough politically into
hotbeds of turmoil, and In some cases
desperate intrigues hopelessly split into
three factions those who have been
voting the Republican and Democratic
tickets, each of whose standing fiuc-
tuates from sure winners to hopeless
losers according to the utilization Of the
respective prophets.
