Spokane, Wash, Sept. 14.-Not ir
many years have so many tribes OF
northwest Indians been represented at
a gathering as are now assembled in

are gathered and during the five weeks
they will fill their spare time with In.

While | do not keep any accurate

more than one hundred men who have

Il found the democrats enthusias-

democratic ticket but I was astound-
ed at the number of republicans who
are coming out for the democratic
ticket.
Il was talking to a class of some 80
girls at Bryn Mawr and l. asked them
If they had vote this fall who they
would cast it for. There was a gen.
eral shout of Wilson I did not take
a poll of the young ladies, but | think
that every one of them were enthusi-
astic Wilson supporters"

New York, Sept. 14.-Former Con
gresham William P. Hepburn, OF
Iowa, is quoted in the Des Moines Tri.
bune, as follows:
4 shall not be surprised to see the
democrats make a clean sweep in No
vember. So far as / am concerned,
will support no man who will not sup
port the Roosevelt ticket, and / think
there are many others of the same
mind"
Col. Hepburn is correct in his guess.
The regular republican organization is
sure to knife every legislative candi-
date who is for Roosevelt, and the
third term party will return the com
pliment on the Taft men. The voters
generally, as a result. are turning to
the democratic party, and its candi-
dates, as a welcome relief from an in
tolerable condition.

WOODROW WILSON
IN The LEAD

New York, Sept. 14.-Newspapel
men who are making the tour of the
west with the third term party eandi
date, are strongly inclined to give
Woodrow Wilson the best of it in
their guess as to who will be the next
president.
Throughout the tour there have
been heated discussions as to what
states will go for the democratic tiket.
While the national democratic ticket
refuses to concede any of the states
as sure for Taft, the only crumb of
hope the newspaper men are holding
out to the president is in Utah, Yer
mont, Rhode Island and New Hamp-
shire.
The tour Of Roosevelt, according TO
the best newspaper judges who have
accompanied him throughout the west,
has resulted in his losing as much
ground as he has gained.
In North Dakota, Roosevelt has lost
ground, according to the most accu-
rate democratic advice received at ma.
tional headquarters.
