CHAFlN PREDICTS WILSON WINS.

Eugene W. Chain is the candidate of the
Prohibition party for the presidency. Naturally
he has no expectation of success, but having
travelled the country over in the interest of
his cause and having met and addressed crowds
in many sections of the nation he knows some
thing of the political sentiment of the country.
Being man of intelligence and of observation
what he has to say OF the political situation is
worthy of consideration, Here IL is:
They (the business men and farmers9 feel
that he is sane, clear-headed man. His stand
for greater participation in politics by the peo-
pie since he has been in Office is deemed evil
dence that he is big enough to advance with
the needs OF the time, while at the same time
his allegiance to the fundamental principles OF
the government is taken to prove that he is
not for change unnecessarily.
The far West Mr. Chain divides between Taft
and Roosevelt, but the Middle West he gives
TO Wilson. He thinks the Democratic eandi-
date will sweep the great majority of the
States of that section.
What Mr.. Chain says merely goes TO CON
firm what the political prophets and the
shrewdest observers have already conceded

HE HAS KEPT THE FAITH.

When Woodrow Wilson was nominated at
Baltimore the Democratic candidate for the
presidency, partisans of Mr, Taft, the Repuh-
lscan nominee and of MIR. Roosevelt, who was

all knew, were bitterly disappointed.
They knew that his short record as public
servant well-nigh invulnerable and they
knew that his character was above reproaeh
The Republicans knew that they could not with
sincerity assaiI his radicaism for they knew
fhat he was no more radical than the country !;
The progressiges knew that they could NOT as
saii his conservatism because they knew that
his record was one Of progressive legislation
enacted at his demand The Republicans knew
THAT neither Mr. TAFT nor any Of his supporters

progressive knew that Mr. Roosevelt strong

THE SUPREME ISSUE,

The New York Times contends that the tariff
is the chief issue in the present presidential
campaign, and that most of the voters OF the
country are lined up that issue It says:
After all the noise that has been raised as
to the progressive doctrines of this or that
party, the tariff remains the practical issue in
the campaign. An experienced observer return
ing from an extended tour only this week. re-
marked: The only thing men are talking
about in earnest is the tariff For or against.
Consequently all the voters are lining up on
that issue And why not? 1t is the only is
sue that can be directly and effectively dealt
with in election. 1t is national II can be
disposed of by Congress and the president 1t
nsolves perfectly clear principles which there
will be no difficulty In applying by which every
party wins power. 1t is an issue that inti-
mately concerns the entire community and
every family in IT,
The Democratic party accepts thar issue
The c. ST OF living and the tariff are inexfri-
cably woven together and all the efforts of the
the Progressive and the Republican parties to
make the public believe otherwise will prove
fruitless The tariff is the supreme issue be-
pocket-book and upon that issue only the
Democratic party, led by Governor Wilson, Is
scuna
