ROOSEVELT IS NOW
 GIVEN SECOND PLACE

At this hour matter of fact Roosevelt is given second place in the running by all close observers of the pifua tion. Some declare that there is little doubt but what he will be sec ond in tine popular vote, but believe that owing to the situation in some states President Taft will beat him in the electoral college. though when it comes to an analysis of their reasons for so saying they cannot give it.. Roosevelt's second place In the cleo
 toral college depends upon whether or not he carries Illinois, where he is conceded to be very strong. If he loses this state Taft will beat him in the college, and at that both of them put together will not have 150 votes.
 Outside of the democrats struggle to give Wilson majority of the popu- lar vote and to capture the Senate. the only struggle in Tuesdays election Is for second place and that Is very bitter one. Though they w>ll not ad- init 1t at the outset of the last week of the campaign the republican na- tional leaders abandoned all hope of the reelection of President Taft and have devoted all their strength to seven day effort to land the President in sec

DEMOCRATS STRIKE
 FOR SENATE AS GOAL

The next goal the democrats are striking for is the Senate The ques- ton of who will control the Senate IS about the only one that is in very great doubt, and the democrats realizing that unless they do have a fair work ing majority in that body, they cannot hone to carry out the promise they have made to the voters, are making a desperate effort to capture the va rious legislatures i'll the several states where United States senators are to be elected for the term beginning March next.
 Wilson himself, is urging the neces- sity Of capturing the Senate upon the people, In speech in New Jersey urging the election of members of the legislature in that state, he said IT you cannot back me up, do not put me up all by myself and then desert me If you believe in me make it possible for me to do something.
 The old style republicans are grimly silent without hope, or practically with out it. They base their profession or faith in the result that at the last mo- snent the great army of silent voters which has been of unusual proportions this year. will cast their ballots in the support of the administration, and for what they are pleased to term prosper ity They admit that this vast army, for them to win, must practically be unanimous in it's choice for President Taft-a remote possibility-for which tie democrats declare there is not a chance" It is said that in states where the President might ordinarily stand some show to win the electoral vote, he will be sacrificed by old line repub- lieans voting for Wilson in order to make sure and certain the defeat of Roosevelt. old line republicans pro- fess to dread a democratic administra- tion, But they dread a Roosevelt ad- ministration still more and the fear of his election Is accentuated by the ex- travagant claims of the progresslves /naf there will be Roosevelt landslide and that he will sweep the country.

NO CHANGE MADE
 IN PAST TWO WEEKS

The situation in New York has not changed in the slightest degree for two weeks or more. If there has been any change it Is marked by an increase of the trend toward Wilson. The political leaders of New York the men who make business of politics, agree that all Gov ernor Wilson has to do to insure the se- curing of the 59 electoral votes of New York and New Jersey is to hold even with the Bryan vote of four years ago in these two commonwealths. From all external appearances, too, Governor Wilson is a very much stronger presidential candi- date in these two big conservative states than was Bryan. Unless all signs fail
 Governor Wilson will poll very much larger vote in both New York and New Jersey than did Bryan at any one of the three elections when he was the demo- cratic standard bearer. While the Roose- vert camfaign managers place New Jer- sey in the list of states they are claim
 ing they do not even hope to carry New York It would have to be third party landslide to give Roosevelt his own state and there are absolutely no indications of a Roosevelt ground swell. On the con- traIy it is not believed that Roosevelt is as strong in New York as he is in other republican states west and at that he may be stronger than Taft. Second place is the plum both Roosevelt and Taft are after in New York and in the country.

 SAYS GIT LOOKS BAD"

Senator Root, who has been for the last few days adviser in chief of the Tatt campaign positively refuses to discuss the situation except for three Words-"lt looks bad, he says. Beyond that the New York sell ator refuses to go. It is not alone New York that is causing republican leaders grave concern as to the future of the re- publican party. It is such states as Penn sylvania, Indiana and Illinois. These i've states with their great combined repub- lican support have constituted the back bone of the republican party organizauoh. In every one of these st;- les 1t IS prlVdte- ly admitted that there is great danger that the republican organization will be smashed beyond the chance of repair at the November election. In Pennsylvania Senator Penrose is fighting for the life of the republican organization, once a pow erful machine, now a poor broken thing which may never tick again. So 1t IS in Indiana, Illinois and Ono. The ques- ton among the national republicans IS not the securing of electoral votes, but of getting second place and of saving the skeleton of the republican party.

The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-11-03

It has long been understood that in the event of the election of Governor Wilson the republican leaders from President Taft down would be ready with state- ments charging Colonel Roosevelt not alone with the responsibility for the re- suit, but with responsibility of wrecking the republican party. Leaders in the re- publican party will consider it humiliat- ing should the party who has controlled the political destiny of the country for the past 30 years without material inter ruption fall to third place in the hearts; of the American people, and they would consider the future of the party in very grave jeopardy-a as in fact it is-in such event.
 The prospects that Roosevelt will run second in the state of New York is ap- palling to State Chairman Barnes. The head of the republican organization for public consumption has been giving out daily statements setting forth that Presi- dent Taft is going to carry the state, that Governor Wilson will be second, and that the bull moose ticket will be buried. These statements have been given out sinnpIv for whatever effect they may have.

this very nickname contributed to his

WOMAN BREEDS ESKIMO DOGS
Seems Queer Occupation, but She
Has Made Remarkable suo-
cess Of the Work.

At Grove Park, one OF the suburbs
OF London, Mrs. Scott conducts very
interesting dog farm. Her speciality
is Eskimo dogs, which she breeds and
trains for the market The market Is
not very large, but Il is sufficient to
make IL worth her while to raise and
train the best possible Eskimo dogs
IL is not the food market, nor the or
binary dog market. II is the market
for Eskimo dogs which are-trained for
Arctic exploration.
If you decide to make a journey to
one of the poles, you know that EslSi-
mo dogs are absolutely essential.
You can get good Eskimo dogs in
Greenland, or in Alaska. But the
good dogs in Greenland may not be
exported except by special permission
of the Danish government; and the
good dogs in Alaska are not so good
One trouble with ordinary Eskimo
dogs is that they have no breeding
and no discipline. They will obey the
master with whom they have been
brought up, but when they start after
fish or other game, even their master
can control them only by the exercise
of brute force. For the purposes of
your exploration you need dogs that
will obey orders given by a white
man, dogs that are broken to the har.
ness and are not afraid of work. dogs
that have learned team work.
1t is this kind of dog that Mrs.
Scott raises for the market. Her ken
nels have only pure blooded animals
of carefully selected stock, and from
earliest puppyhood she trains them in
how to eat and how to work When
she gets through with an Eskimo dog
the animal is not nearly so ferocious
as one that just "growed up" in the
surroundings of an Eskimo village.
They adapt themselves quickly to new
masters, and they have acquired good
eating manners, so that they are not
so likely to attack the cupboard or
fresh game.
Mrs. Scott feeds her animals no
meat except pemmican and dried fish
brought from Norway: a large part
of the diet is a specially prepared
biscuit She has supplied trained
dogs for a number of Arctic and Ant
arctic expeditions.-Scientific Amer
