Talks With Men of

At Washington. d. q

There will be no trouble about
Missouri this year. or, for that mat
ter. any of the western states" said
Judge \ arwick NJ. Hough Of st.
Louis 1t looks like a. clean sweep
for Wilson everywhere. I could not
find in New York. where l have been.
any growing sentiment for Taft. New
York city will give the New Jersey
governor a big plurality. which will
offset n vote the republicans may
bring down 10 the Harlem. I think
there is little doubt that New York
will go for Wilson by a good big
plurality. Col. Roosevelt Is not max.
ing any progress that l could discern.
In my Judgment. the progressive can
is going to be the last man in
the race for president.
That President Taft is making
gains among the republicans, ! think,
Is beyond question. The sentiment in
the western states has turned in his
favor. but not enough. of course. to
insure his carrying any of the close
states. The democrats will surely win
the election of 1912. and there il lit
tie doubt that the next congress will
be overwhelmingly democratic. The
indications are that the democrats
Will win the control Of enough legis-
latures to give them a majority in the
senate. So for the first time In sixteen
years the democratic party will be in
control OF the government"

clared that the detectives working
upon the recent murder of eight per-
sons in the family of j. r. Moore,
nave obtained a photograph of the

hips. He asserted that the murderer
wore mask and an apron, the apron
evidently to prevent his clothing be-
coming spattered with blood.

that has the same width and mut l

The west wall is nearly completed,
and the east wall is we'll under way.
