 Gloria threw up her hands.

 Then as she saw the look on hel aunt's face, she went on: But, he i. good enough for anybody, Aunt Caro and I like him immensely"
 And he likes you" said Miss Caro- line.
 It was this conversation, combined with Miss Carolines insistent spirit o self-sacriflce, that set the little lady z scheming. Of all women in the world she loved Gloria best. UnacknowI edged, but coloring her whole life, wa. her love for the Rev. Donald McGre gor. And what more fitting than that she should bring these two together 1T a happy union?
 And as it happened that every Wed nesday night, the Rev. Donald Me Gregor found himself asked to meet with Miss Caroline's social club, ant later he walked home with Miss Caro line and Gloria.

In Illinois the republicans are so
badly split that | think Wilson Will
carry that state" said Mr.. Tippett.
Il interviewed prominent gentle
men, republicans from Washington
and Oregon, and they said without
doubt that Washington would so for
Wilson and it was likely that Oregon
would likewise go the same way.
In Missouri the republicans are
outspoken in their determination in
many cases to vote the democratic
ticket, in order to defeat Roosevelt
in that state
an Indiana the same feeling pre-
walls, and Governor Marshall is so
certain of carrying that state that
he is spending a great portion of his
time in other parts of the country.
Indiana will go democratic by large
majority.
Ohio is hopelessly torn to pieces
by the republican and progressive rae
tions and it is safe TO predict that
Ohio will be carried by Wilson by a
large majority"

was rushed to the New Harper where

A BIG PLURALITY
State Chairmas Charles Gives
Out Cheerful Information
Based on Analysis.

Chicago. Oct. 1S.-"Edward F. Dunno. !
democratic nominee for governor, will
sweep the state of illinois, by a ire
mendOus plurality, and this result
does not depend altogether upon the
plurality he is conceded in Cook
county"
This unqualified statement was
made yesterday by Arthur w Charles,
state chairman, after a thorough anal
ysis of the reports from the county
chairman in the 101 counties down
state.
81 am excluding Cook county from
this analysis" continued Mr.. Charles,
for it is conceded by all that Judge
Dunne's plurality IN Chicago and
Cook county will be overwhelming.
All elements of the democratic party
in Cook county are united on Judge
Dunno.
These reports show that Dunno
will carry rs counties of the state
| while the remaining IS will be divided
/ between Funk and Deneen. Judge
/ DUNES plurality down state will be
about 10000.
Stevenson lost to Governor Deneen
four years ago by 23,164, carrying
counties to Deneen's SO. In Cook
county the vote was practically a tie,
/ Deneen winning by as votes.
Our reports show that Judge
Dunno will carry every county that
/ Stevenson carried by at least the
same majority and that he will run
ahead of the. Stevenson vote in %
counties.
I'm practically every county in the
state, Deneen has been losing strength
rapidly and both Funk and Dunno
have been gaining. The democratic
party has not lost in any section, re,
tanning its maximum strength while
the republican party has been tori
by fractional disturbances and many
of its voters have turned to the dem
, ocratic or bull moose parties.
Il am absolutely convinced Of
, democratic success in November, anC
also that We do not have to depend
entirely on the big vote Judge Dunn,
; will roll up in Cook county and | an
= positive he will run far ahead of hi
! two opponents downstate.
cal that is necessary now is t,

The deplOrable tragedy which re-

address on Marquet square last night,
in speaking Of the attempt made upon
the life Of the progressive candidate.
Such, however, is not its purpose.
II involves in the judgment Of the dem
ocrat more than mere Office holding.
It lays hold Of the only principle OF self
government The progressive has not
