ALREADY FIGURING THE DOPE The Philadelphia Record thinks that Bryan and Kern can b e elected without New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. It believes, however, that the Democratic ticket will run well in the east, especially in New York. It,. sayS! With 176 southern votes secure for Mr. Bryan, he will need at least 66 ; more. Nebraska and Indiana may rea- ; sonably b e expected to support Bryan and Kern. Mr. Bryan, got his own state twelve years ago, and Indiana used to be a close state, with Democratic preferences. These two states have 23 electoral votes. Kansas has 10 more, and Mr. Bryan carried the state in 1896. A group of the smaller far western states carried by Mr. Bryan in 1896 have 29 electoral votes. The sum of these three items is 62. Mr. Cleveland in 1892 got all but one of rhe electoral votes of California, one in North Dakota, one in Ohio, besides all of Illinois and Wisconsin and five in Michigan. Mr. LaFollette and Mr. Bryan ar© in very close accord, and the former has proved his complete power in his state; nothing else caused Senator Spooner to retire from politics. In view of all the western and Pacific states that the Democratic party carried in 1892 or 1896 it seems reasonable that Mr. Bryan should get enough electoral votes to carry the election wthout any help from New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. But in regard to New York we may recall that no long ago General Stewart L. Woodford declared that the Republicans could not win without it, and that unless Hughes were nominated it would be a doubtful state. It is not so certain that Mr. Bryan can get nothing in the east. The Union of Indianapolis, the official organ of the Central Labor Union and the State Federation of Labor has come out strongly for Bryan and Kern. It is equally vigorous in its support of Marshall. There is no

more ably edited labor paper in the country than The Union. What is bothering the republican management in Ohio just now is whether to defy or to conciliate Joseph Benson Foraker as a candidate for re-election to the senate. In the past Foraker has invariably succeed ed in making it appear advisable for the managers to conciliate him. He forced Marcus Hanna to do this in order to prevent a revolt against McKinley. John Sherman, all-powerful as he was in Ohio politics, had to make concessions to Foraker in order to prevent a rumpus. Truth is, Foraker is such a power on the stump that the leaders dare not take chances on his opposition. He has for years been a troublesome factor in Ohio politics. It is hardly probable that Taft’s friends will care to throw down the gauntlet to Foraker at this time —especially since there is reason to believe that one more round will appease his craving for public position. —Sou?h Bend Times. The situation in Ohio is undeniably giving Mr. Taft and his managers no little anxiety. The distracted state of the republican party in the national nominee's own commonw-ealth underlies all this worry. Normally Ohio is wholly reliable in a national campaign, but the quarrels among the factions during the past year or two have become so acute that it is felt the state’s big republican majority may be endangered. The situation has not been improved by the understanding that Congressman Burton, of Cleveland, one of the most conspicuous of the state leaders and wholly devoted to Taft, w r ill be a candidate for the United States senate against Joseph B. Foraker. Even should Taft carry the state, the legslature is a very doubtful matter. The democrats are believed to have an excellent outlook for electing one of their party to succeed Foraker, a contingency by no means pleasing to the Taft managers. Ohio will see one of the liveliest campaigns in her history. The republicans will take no chances on losing the national candidate’s home state.— Fort Wayne Sentinel.

OFF TO OYSTER BAY Judge Taft With President Roosevelt Today A CONFERENCE / The President to Criticise Speech of Acceptance Hot Springs, Va., July 23.—Judge William H. Taft left at 8:45 o’clock last night for Oyster Bay to confer witn President Roosevelt concerning his Cincinnati speech accepting the presidential nomination. Mr. Taft will doubtless be th eguest of the president Thursday night. He has arranged to leave New York Friday afternoon for Cincinnati, wher© he will arrive Saturday afternoon at 1:30 o’clock. Representative Herbert ParSons, of New York, arrived this morning, and was in conference with Judge Taft throughout the day. Frank B. Kellogg was present and the work in hand was the revision of the Cincinnati speech. During this conference the news of the reversal of Judge Landis’ decision in the Standard Oil case was received, but aside from evincing a desire to get the details of the decision, no comment was indulged in by Mr. Taft or his conferees. “It is a matter which obviously I cannot discuss,” was Judge Taft’s only remark. Judge Taft announced that he had received a cordial letter from Governor Hughes, of New York, accepting the invitation extended in a letter written by Judge Taft some days ago to open th© Republican campaign in Ohio, at Youngstown, September 5.

THE GAMBLER. One of the best stories ever told fashioned into one of the best plays ever writtn is the "Gambler.” It is a drama from that unequaled source of starring American plays “The West” and abounds in the romance, free spirit honor, courage, treachery, pathos, strong characters, swift justice and rugged honesty of that part of the country in the earlier days. In the midst of a memorable cast of men and women from real life towers the perdominating figure of Jim Saxson, sheriff of Medicine Lodge, Montana, in love with the beauty of his town, a school teacher from the east, where she had been a victim of a false marriage. Four scenes that are faithful pictures illuminate the play and a company of metropolitan actors present jt. See it Monday night at the big Guy Stock Co.’s tent.

RAILING RELEASED Big Tom is Sent Back to the Brush League by Three-I Team PLAYS WITH FLINT I Bluffton Ball Team Will Play Here Next Sunday —Good Lineup I Big Tom Railing, at one time one of the most promising young pitchers in the game of base ball, who has played with and against some of the best clubs in the country, was released yesterday by the Springfield Three-I league team to Flint, Mich. Railing got off bad this spring. He was incapacitated by a sore arm but in consideration of this he has pitched well. Some time ago he was traded to the Bloomington team, but shortly afterward was recalled by Springfield. The news of his release has caused surprise among his Decatur admirers. The Decatur ball club will have the strongest lineup for Sunday’s game against the old rivals, Bluffton, that has represented the city this year. The lineup will be as follows: Catcher Pennington; pitcher, Knapp; first base, Bales; second base, Ellis; shortstop. Ayers; third base, Coffee, and Johns outfield. The other outfielders have not been selected yet.
