Mr.. WILSON'S tour in defence of his

eight States IL the itinerary laid
down at the White House Is followed.
For him they constitute politically
an enemy's country. In them Mr..
BRYAN is strong; stronger than Mr..
WILSON. II the election returns are to
be depended upon; 80 strong, indeed,
that the former Secretary Of State,
whose opposition to Mr.. WILSON'S $
plans has compelled this trip, looks
with compacency on the effort Of the
President to attach them to his sup
port. Mr.. BRYAN does not allow his
idealism to blind him to the election
returns. and he is not ignorant Of the
record of votes cast for the Demo
cratic nominee In four recent cleo
tions. Not everybody suffers from
Mr.. BRYAN's passion for history In

ocratic vote in these eight States for
