DARRow CLAIMS HE
 IS BEING pERSECUTED

Los Angeles, Aug. 2s-Judge VII lis has set the second trial Of Clarence Darrow to come up for hearing on October 2lst. It promises to be a long drawn out affair with little chance for conviction. the general impression being that the strongest case the state has was shot when the Lockwood case went against it. Oar row and his council seem certain that no jury can be obtained to con vict them, and the persistency of the Erectors' Association in pushing the case seems to prejudice public seu- timent against the granting Of ano- ther trial. Darrow claims it is per secution pure and simple.

PREDICTS HEAVY WILSON PLU.
RALITY.
Walter Warner Gives $4,000 o. Even
$4,000 As The Figure.


Walter Warner, Congressman Tai
bolts private secretary, who ought
to know lot about political condi-
tons in Maryland, says that Governor
Wilson will have a plurality in the
State of anywhere from 10000, to co.
900. This is how he figures it out
There should be minimum Of
100000 votes cast i'm the State" said
Mr. Warner "Of this number Gov
ernor Wilson ought to get at least
10000. Now, suppose the remaining
100000 be equally divided between
President Taft and MIR. Roosevelt
That would give them $4,000 each, OK
| $4,000 short of the vote Governor Will
son is sure to receive. But suppose
Mr.. Taft gets 10000 votes and Mr..
Roosevelt 10000, or vice versa, Gov
ernor Wilson's plurality will still be-
$4,000 For it to b. less than 10000
either Mr. Taft or Mr.. Roosevelt will
have to receive more than $4,000, and
that doesn't seem possible.
But should the total vote In Mary
land amount to 100000 Governor Will
son ought to receive not less than
10000. If Mr. Taft or Mr.. Roosevelt
gets 100000 out of the remaining no.
900 the Democrats will still carry the
State by 10000. But T still contend
that Governor Wilson's plurality will
be more than that, and ii will take
the official count to change my opin-
ion."
Most Democrats in the State feel
that Governor Wilson f. growing
stronger every day. They say that
what little opposition there was to
his nomination at first Is fast dis
appearing and that all factions are
rapidly coming to the conclusion that
a. is the strongest man that could
possibly have been nominated
And what is true Of Maryland Mr.
Talbot, who as National Committee
man keeps in touch with the situa-
ton all over the country, says T. also
true Of conditions in other States. lie
says that he has not seen or heard OF

Appeal TO Ignorance and CreduHty.

Mr.. Roosevelt throws himself, di-
rectly and indirectly, upon ignor-
ance, credulity, and selfishness OF
class, social discomfort; with vague,
half articulate fantastic promises and
hopes he seeks to allure many sorts
OF people, and especially farmers and
laborers.
After fragrant personal disloyalty
after solemn promises false or
dicers' oaths; standing beyond scru-
pie and beyond shame, he shrieks his
Invitations to the honest fanaticisms,
the unprosperous envies, the half
baked reforms" and all the mob Of
notions and nostrums. There f. no
danger that Theodore Roosevelt will
be President again. But to think
that such a man has been Pres
