Hooper and Rye are the Dem
ocratic candidates for Governor
of Tennessee. The Independent
Democrats nominated Hooper !;
Regular Democrats nominated
Rye. Let's see which is the bet
ter Democrat. Hooper is stand
ing on the only platform he ev.
Ell had. Rye never had a plat
form until he was placed upon
Hooper's platform by the cohorts
of Regular Democracy, who new
er did anything that is I'M
democratic. Hooper got there
first, and has been there longest.
Hooper is therefore a better
Democrat than Rye.
Let us see which is the better
prohibitionist. Hooper is an
original temperance man-an
original prohibitionist. He pro-
claims to the world that he fav-
ors state wide, nationwide and
worldwide prohibition. He calls
upon the people everywhere to
rally round the flag of prohibi-
tion, march until that banner
floats in triumph upon every
breeze. Rye and his cohorts
talk with mealy mouths about
temperance, and seem to be
afraid of the word prohibition.

Memphis, Oct. 17.-Wm. j.
Bryan tonight gave the following
statement to The Tennessean and
American correspondent:
THE only regret of my visit
to Tennessee is that | have to
leave so soon. | have no doubt
that the democrats of Tennessee
will win q sweeping victory for
Tom Rye and the entire state
ticket, and hope for an in
crease of the democratic repre-
sentation in congress from Ten
nessee. | have found great en-
thusiasm everywhere and am
sure that a reunited party will
place the great state of Tennes
see behind the administration of
President Wilson and thus en-
courage and inspire him in the
confidence of his great work. 1t
is apparent that the days of dem
ocratic defeat in Tennessee have
passed aud that republican rule
in the old Volunteer State will
end on the third day of Novem
ber next.
(Signed) w. j. BRYAN"

If Mr.. Bryan really hopes" for
the election of a Democrat in
either the first or second con-
gressional districts, his fund of
Tennessee information is but
little better than that of Secre-
tary Josephus Daniels, who made
an historical donkey of himself
in his recent sweep across East
Tennessee.

Interesting Comparisons.

The Reclamation Record publish
es table comparing the area and
population Of the western states with
the countries of Europe. Accord
ing to the figures given in the table
Idaho has an area Of only 6o46
square miles less than the combined
area Of Greece, Switzerland, Denmark
and Holland, while the population
of the former is only BPS, 5o4 against
combined population of the four
European countries of l6,725,8O6.
OF course the density Of population
OF this state will never equal that Of
some OF the European countries
Denmark and Holland, for instance.
This state will never have cities like
Copenhagen or Amsterdam. Thous-
ands of square miles of Idaho must
always support comparatively
sparce population. In spite Of this
our possibilities should equal Swift
erland. Switzerland has no seaports,
is mountainous, and its largest city,
Geneva, has population Of about
$4,000. Cities Of such size are
easily imaginable in Idaho. AL.
ready Washington to our west and
Utah to our south has each an
inland city approaching the popula-
ton Of Geneva. Comparing Idaho
with Switzerland we find the former
has an area of S3,888 square miles
with population Of 325, 5o4, while
the latter has an area Of 1916
square miles and population Of g.
74l,o7 Switzerland's area is less
than 20 per cent Of Idaho's while her
population is over l. times as great.
