The Campaign Managements.

Two hundred and sixty-six electoral
votes are necessary to choice Chair
man Mccormick, itemizing his state,
lnent, declares that Mr.. Wilson will have
three hundred and sixty-four votes
Chairman Wilcox, without itemizing
gives Mr.. Hughes hundred majority in
the electoral college. And so the two
managers, differing thus widely, go to
the mat tomorrow
There has been little, if any, criticism
in democratic circles of the democratic
conduct of the campaign. This is prob
ably aseribable to the fact that Mr.. Viii
son has been close at hand and free with
advice. Mr.. Mccormick has met him
often. and referred many things to him.
In this way the committees work has
been protected by the candidate, Crit
-cism of it would be criticism of him.
The king can do no wrong. Better not
out loud at least-eriticise the candidate.
A different situation has existed on
his leading Geutenants have repeatedly
been under fire from their own friends.
They have had freer hand than the
democratic managers. Their candidate
has been at distance and out of reach
much the greater part of the time. Few
things have been referred to him. His
stumping duties have kept him busy
Nothing said in complaint about the re-
publican management has touched, or
could be made to touch, him.
Quite likely, some, maybe many, of
the complaints have been unfounded
-and unjust. Mr.. Wilcox was a new man
+on national job, and charged with a
task that might we'll have taxed vete
ran. Both republicans and bull moosers
were to be considered; and holding them
together in the bonds of peace and
righteousness of party endeavor faced
him. He could not hope to escape the
charge. now of being partial to the re-
publieans, and now to the bull moosers.
1t was inevitable.
If the republicans lose, the committee
management may expect raking. Many
of the disgruntled will solace them
selves with the thought and charge that
a different management would have
brought 8 different result. But if Mr..
Hughes is elected, the disgruntlement
will subside, and Mr.. Wilcox and his
aids will receive many handsome compli-
ments for great work done under great
difficulties. Nothing succeeds like sue
cess; and when the sun comes out and
floods the scene the gray days past are
soon forgotten,

Mr.. BRYAN.

1t would be fiattery to describe Mr..
Bryan as having played second fiddle in
this campaign. He has been fiddling,
hut his notes have been inaudible to the
great majority of voters. He has not
appeared i'll either the east or the far
west. There has been no need of him
III the south. where democratic majori
ties record themselves automatiealIy II
has been IN only the middle states and
the near west that the former favorite-
now IN sort of eehpse-has done his
biz.
But, although ignored by the demo-
cratic managers, and eircumscribed in
his itinerary, Mr.. Bryan, wherever he
has been. has appealed for votes for the
;ieket. lie has remembered that. in n
much larger than the ordinary sense.
Mr.. Wilson is his candidate. He gave
Mr. Wilson to the party, and in sup
porting him for reelection has simply
been supporting his own.
II may be that, after the election
sometime in the near future--the Gin
side of Mr. Bryan's retirement from
the cabinet will in some way be re-
vealed. II is an interesting mystery.
The Presidents second note to Germany
about the sinking of the I.usitania put
Mr.. Bryan in An absurd position. 1t
was so mild deiverance by comparison
with the first note, the most extreme
pacifieist-even Quaker-might have
!. signed it. And yet the country was
asked to believe that Mr.. Bryan had
taken himself out Of the way to avoid
associating himself officially with an ex-
peeted bellicose performance.

once an old favorite, the loser carting
the winner through the streets Of the
town in a barrow, usually decorated SO
as to advertise his faulty judgment. The
wheelbarrow bet, however, exposes the
winner to practically as much embar-
RAISING publicity as the loser. Most
men, if they had the choice, would
rather do the wheeling than be wheeled.

Safeguarding the Election Crowds.


The police order barring vehicles from
Pennsylvania avenue tomorrow night is
distinctly in the interest of public safety
and should be scrupulously respected by
all as measure making for the Sc
eurity of the multitudes who will as
semble in front of the bulletin boards
to read election returns. Interest in
this election is intensely keen, and it is
certain that vast crowds will gather in
the Avenue to read the bulletins from
6 o'clock until the result is indicated.
The passage of vehicles other than street
ears through these crowds at the yari-
Gus points of display would cause a
grave risk to thousands. 1t is impos-
sible to stop the cars, but as they run
on their own tracks the danger from
them is slight in comparison with that
from the passage of free vehicles
through the throngs. This order will en-
tail some Inconvenience to motor own
ers, compelling them to park their ma
chimes at distance from the bulletin
screens in order to join the crowds there
assembled. 1t will prevent cruising up
and down the Avenue in front of the
bulletins, but this cannot be rated as
special hardship in view of the fact
that little of valuable information can
be derived from the bulletins in the
course of such trips. 1t cannot be doubt
ed that the enforcement of this order
will prevent many accidents that other
wise would result from the congestion,

14C years old. Here you see California
asst was q hundred years ago; hear the
story of the Missions and see the Oldest
collection of Indian mission pictures in
the world. Here is Romona's Home.
Also the Wishing Well, where we par
took of the water while wishing. The
wish has not come to pass, but we live
in hopes of it's fruition. We also visited
Coronado Beach and it's landlocked
harbor; and 1.-THE mammoth hotel del
Coronado situated on the fat sands.
On Point Iona, which protects the
harbor and city from winds, are the
grounds of the worlds headquarters of
the T~heosophical Society, open to Wis
itors on week days between certain
hours. We also visited Mission Cliff
Garden, one of the most beautiful bot
anical gardens in California. 1t over
looks Mission Valley, and the scenery
is unsurpassed.
After leaving San Diego we went to
Los Angeles where Mrs. J. H. Ser met
us with their auto and we spent almost
two weeks with them in their pleasant
home. They gave us a delightful time
travelling over six hundred miles in an
auto in and around beautiful Los An
geles.
One day we went to Santa Barbara,
ninety-six miles distant, starting at
900 a. M, and arrived there for lun-
clleon. Then we rode around Santa
Barbara and visited Santa Barbara

v%atlon, and up into the adjacent

mountains! overlooking the beautiful
city and then home where we arrived at
500 p. m, after the lovely ride through
the mountains and valleys and along
the ocean beaches and travelling all the
time over the most wonderful roads,
California can certainly be proud of
her paved highways which one glides
over SO swiftly and smoothly. With
the beautiful scenery and climate and
flowers n feels like they were in
Paradise. And Oh! the grandeur of the
mountains, the ocean aud the flowers,
how I loved them all.
Los Angeles is q beautiful city of oyer
halfa million inhabitants with much
to see and enjoy in the city itself. The
surrounding country is reached every
where by an nterurban system and
many places to visit: Pasadena, Santa
Monica, Redonda Beach, Long Beach,
Venine, Ocean Park, and San Pedro is
annexed by Los Angeles to make its
seaport; Mount Lowe and Santa Gait
lena Island, thirty miles out in the Pa
cific, and all the beautiful orangegroves.
When we left Los Angeles we took the
Salt Lake Route to Provo, Utah, where
we again visited my son and family,
staying three weeks and getting ac-
quainted with the people of Provo
whom I found very hospitable and
pleasant.
We arrived in Scotland, 8. D., safe
and sound and feeling much better in
health than when I left here three
months ago.

Francisco Robert and / left our friends
there. and we travelled on down to Santa
Monica to visit our friend, Mrs. Robert
Dollard, where we had a delightful
visit with her and her sisters Mrs.
Lund and Mrs. Boomer. Mrs. Dollard
has a beautiful home built in style of a
Swiss Chatlet. We visited many plac-
es of interest together. Mrs. Dollard
took us to the Mission Play at San Ga
brIel. 1t was wonderful, and very i'm
pressive, and is to California what the
Passion Play is to Oberamagau in

certainly enjoyed it all.

we visited a month with my sister-in-

all in their pleasant California home.

San Diego has many places of inter-

many other beautiful places in the

higher.
We enjoyed the trip immensely all
along the way and arrived in Provo,
Utah on October 10th, where my son,
r. N Rounds and family reside, They
met us at the train and we spent four
days with them. We visited Salt
Lake City, forty miles from Provo,
reached by an interurbau railway as
well as by other roads.
The chief interest of the visitors to
Salt Lake City is the great Mormon
Temple Block, situated in the heart uf
the city-a ten acre square surrounded
by a wall twelve feet high and three
thick. There are large gates on the
four sides. The grounds are beautiful.
J Just inside the south gate is a fine
building-the Bureau of Information.
Here strangers are welcome and where
you can form parties and be escorted
through the building and grounds We
were first taken to the Assembly Hall;
it is a building 6sxl2O feet. Our guide
told us that it would seat 20n0 and is
used for religious services and public
lectures and concerts as the big taber-
nacle would be larger than necessary.
We were then escorted to the world
famed Tabernacle. The vastness of the
immense auditorium was very impress
sive although it was very plain. 1t
seats 5000 people. 1t is $50 feet long by
$50 feet wide and so feet high and al
most round in shape. The building
was built during the years 1S65-67-be-
fore railroads were hiiilt, All the ma
terial had to be hauled with ox-teams
from the Missouri river. We We're led
to the farthest part of the building
opposite the organ and the custodian,
standing in front of the organ, dropped
a pin OH the wooden railing and wills

distance of 200 feet. The Tabernacle
was planned and erected under the
direction of Bingham Young, who
was a cabinet maker by trade.
The lady who conducted US around

cations, their suffrage organizations

Then our guide led us to view the
Temple n m assive granite structure.
1t is 1867 feet long by SO feet wide; its
greatest height is 222 feet to the top OF
the figure which surmounts the central
, eastern tower. This figure represents

The Temple is used for marriage but
only for those in good standing in the
church. Those who are married in the
Temple are different. They believe
that marriages performed there under
the sealing ordinance will be per

The great organ in the l. oernacle
has been conceded by musici.ls to be
the finest instrument in America not
in the WORTH. In later yeas many
strides have been made in organ con
| struction, so the church authorities de-
cided to have their instrument at least
| abreast of the times, so are now making
! it larger and completing it in every
way.
We also viewed the Sea Gull Monu-
ment. The unveiiing ceremony COX

gull story is told. The story is this:
