WOODROW WILSON
WILL sweep COUNTRY
New York Herald's Canvass Of sItua
tIon In Eleven States
Indication.

New York, Oct. THE announce
ment OF the New York Herald's can.
vass of voters In eleven states has
caused widespread comment in polit-
ical circles. 1t shows conclusively that
Governor Wilson will sweep the coun-
try.
The Herald has been carrying on
straw votes for more than score Of
years, and Its canvasses In past years
have always been verified in Novem-
Der. The fact that the Herald is sup
porting Taft and that the Herald's ex-
pert canvassers placed him third Is
evidence enough Of the impartiality
of its efforts.
In discussing the Herald's efforts,
Henry Morgenthau. chairman of the
finance committee OF the democratic
national committee, said:
while we can not help being elated
over the forecast Of the Herald, which
has reputation for accuracy along
these lines, fear that 1t may have
bad effect in some quarters. The dem
Gratis are all SO confident OF winning
that they do not seem to realize the
Importance OF contributing to the ma
tional campaign fund. | would like to
serve warning on all good democrats
that while victory is in the air and
we are sure of success, we must have
more funds to carry on the campaign"
The New York Sun, which is also
supporting Taft. prints the following
review Of the Herald's efforts:
The Herald publishes its first in
stallment Of its countrywide review Of
the presidential situation, and It's in
dications are that Wilson is easily
leading both Taft and Roosevelt, with
Taft running third, according to the
straw ballots. More than $4,000 test
ballots were taken in various parts
OF the country. The results in the
various states follow:

Pivotal State of Illinois.

Illinois, for instance, which is con-
sidered a pivotal state, is the scene
of a battle between Roosevelt and
Wilson, in which the bull moose has

to date in the Record-Herald's can

the detection Of republicans to VIII

be somewhat larger than the move

Michigan Is now Roosevelt state
Wisconsin is the scene Of a neck-and-

Indiana IL Democratic.

Indiana, the home state of Thomas
Marshall, democratic candidate for
vice president, is regarded as demo
cratic this year.
On the coast, California Is doubtful,
but inclined toward Wilson now; Ore
gon Is for Taft, while Idaho and
Washington are for Roosevelt.
To the southwest, New Mexico is
doubtful, while Arizona looks like a
Wilson state. Oklahoma, where the
democrats have normal majority of
rs, 900, is Wilson's.
In Colorado the canvasses and all
other surface indications show that
Wilson is holding the democratic
vote.
Wyoming, normally republican, is
this year debatable, and so is Mon
tana.
Utah is Taft's just now.
Missouri shows indications of Civ
ing Wilson plurality of 10000 this
year.
Kansas is claimed by all three par
ties, while in Nebraska 1t appears that
Wilson will be stronger in Bryan's
home state than Bryan himself.
Pennsylvania with its thirty-eight
electoral votes is shown by the can
vass to favor Taft at the present
time.

ton of departing from its ancient

Roosevelt Tide Reached Height.

The Herald finds that the Roosevelt
tide has reached its height and that
the Taft movement il gaining in some
parts OF the country. Wilson remains
stationary in some sections, gains in
others, and, so far as reports show,

its reports indicate very clearly that

Polls taken by the Cincinnati En-
quirer and the Buffalo Times, along
with reports from canvass taken by
train passengers, give Wilson a sur
prisingly large lead. The total votes
so far recorded at democratic head
quarters give Wilson 29,754, Roose-
welt 1900 and Taft 1888.
The democrats have lost SO votes
to Taft and Roosevelt, while they have
gained 420S from Taft.

BREAK AT VASSALBORO.
One Arrest Made Some Strong Cir
cumstsntaI Evidence.

When the agent Of the Maine Cen
trail station at Vassalboro arrived at
the station, Sunday morning, he dis
covered that a break had been made.
A window opening into the ladies'
section Of the waiting room had been
broken open to allow tile lock to be
worked SO that the window could be
pushed UP. a barrel of crackers in
the station had also been opened and
from crumbs on the floor it appeared
that the one who broke in had evident
ly had a lunch of crackers. The agent
had suspicious as To the one who had
broken in, as when he was locking up,
Saturday evening, he saw man
hanging about the station. a section
man was with the agent and he was
given a description Of the man Seen
the night before. Taking Il hand car
the man started towards Augusta and
in u short time saw the man he was
looking for. He was William Bissdt,
said TO be a stonecutter. and who has
relatives in Quincy, Mass. Bisset
went back To the station. and going
into the station did something which
those who saw him do il, say proves
that he was the one who broke into the
staten A pair of mittens was left
inside and as soon as Bisset saw them
he went right up and took them and
put them on.
Deputy Sheriff ]. p. Mccarthy Of
Watarviile was notified and he went
down to Vassalboro on special
freight train and later returned to
this city with the man and locked
him up IN the police station. 1t is
thought that Bisset did not break into
the station with the idea of taking
any money or tickets, but simply for
tic purpose of having a warm place
to stay. and beyond the crackers no
traces Of anything else being missing
has been discovered.

the ice in the pipe if it happens TO be
located in a place where the water
can be applied without removing the
plaster and spelling the woodwork.
Once in a while a hot fatiren will do
the trick, but often enough. the frost

place where hatirons cannot be APP

house afire. 1t remained for an
electrical genius to rig up a small
