ACCORDING TO WELLMAN Walter Wellman, writing the Rec-ord-Herald from New York says: If we compare the Bryan of 1896 and 1900 with the Bryan of today, in the opinions of the people cf New York, he has gained tremendously. Evidence of thfs is found in the wellknown indifference of banking and commercial men to the outcome of the present election. Those who are Republicans are as a rule against Bryan, but not savagely. They no longer look upon his possible* election as a forerunnner of national disaster. They are net spending money to defeat him. Many business men who in the Bryan campaigns of the past have worked energetically for the Republican ticket will this year stay at home on election day or vote for Bryan himself. Delving into the 'state of mind of the people of New York state, we find there a sort of general protest. It is a protest against certain tendencies of the government, both federal and state. It is a protest which may or, may not lead to revolution, but it j must be admitted that it is at least | of the chemical composition from i which revolutions usually evolve. The I protest as to national affairs involves, ■ in greater or less degree, most of the! elements of society. , Business men complain because the policy of the federal government has led to too much interference with

business. AU sorts of men complain because the policy of Governor Hughes has led to too much interference with private habits, or at least to a threat o* such interference. Labor men complain that the party in power is the party of trusts and of banking and of high finance; that it is‘responsible for the panic of last year; that it is responsible for the high cost of living and the shortage of employment. These generalizations are based upon well-nigh innumerable specific instances —upon conversations with all classes cf men, which have brought forth the voice of complaint and protest. The sum total of this attitude of the public mind —I am speaking of New York and the surrounding community, not of the west or any other part of the country—may be summed up in this one terse sentence —the desire fcr a chaiige. Nothing else could better express that which to me seems the dominant note of the public mind in this region. It is a contagious and perhaps unreasoning and yet very marked and possibly decisive discontent with that which is; that is going to find expression at the ballot box. AH through this section the complaint is general that there is too much Roosevelt and not enough Taft in the Republican leadership of the hour. There is a common opinion that Mr. Taft should say more and Mr. Roosevelt less. AND / STILL MORE DEPARTMENT OF GEOLOGY AND NATURAL RESOURCES Republican—l9o7.

Does Not Cure Dyß ‘ ___________ pepsia. That’s the squarest kind of a square deal as every fair minded man knows. But Holthouse Drug Co. can afford to make this offer because he knows that M'-o-na tablets are a worthy stomach remedy, and that the makers will back up the generous offer. And so we say to all readers of the Democrat suffering or ailing with any stomach trouble, try Mi-p-na. It has such a mighty and powerful influence I on the stomach that it immediately refreshes and relieves, then invigorates and cures. It strengthens the stomach walls, puts the stomach in such perfect condition that it can digest food without pain or other distressing symptoms. It cures by removing the cause, and it removes the cause 96 times in a I hundred. i A large box of Mi-o-na tabets only | costs 50 cents, and relief will come in I 24 hours. “Ml-o-na tablets are truly great for I any one that Jias stomach trouble. I I cannot praise them too highly for I what they have done fcr me.” —Mrs. I W. D. Bennett, Bucksport, Me.

PRCB Atory' IKT'gRESYS iWXnXS: ING TAFT’S CAMPAIGN. A voter wrote to the Indianapolis News and asked for light upon the following matters: “Will you please give me your wellinformed assistance in solving the following problem, so that I may be enabled to give Mr. Taft's candidacy just consideration: “Are Harriman. Rockefeller and the rest of the formidable army of predatory wealth now supporting Mr. Taft — whose chief reliance for election is Lis pledge to enforce the Roosevelt policies—because they fear Mr. Bryan more? “Or are they supporting Mr. Taft because they have been convinced that they have no reason to fear him —despite his ‘logical successorship' to and pledged enforcement of the Roosevelt policies?” Answering the above inquiries the News —which, up to this .campaign, has supported every Republican candidate for president since Grant — made this clear statement: "We have no way of getting at the precise motives of the Wall street gentlemen. The assertion was frequently made that they were induced to come to the support of Mr. Taft before the convention under threat that if they did not the president would again take the nomination. That they are vigorously supporting him now, though hostile to the Roosevelt policies for which he is supposed to stand, is unquestioned; indeed, when one notes Mr. Hitchcock’s committee, with Cromwell and DuPont and Cornelius Bliss and Boles Penrose its leading spirits, one can hardly escape the conclusion that they are not only supporting Mr. Taft but are controlling his campaign. It is hard to believe that they would be quite so active unless they felt confident either (1) that Mr. Taft would not carry out the ‘Roosevelt policies,’ which they detest; or (2) that he would be easier on them than Mr. Bryan,’' LOOKS GOOD TO RIDDER. Herman Ridder of New York is the editor of the Staats Zeltung, the great German daily of the East. Mr. Ridder did not support Mr. Bryan in his other campaigns, but he is enthusiastically fer him this year. In an interview the other day Mr. Ridder sold: “From oareful observation I am now convinced that the Democratic national ticket will be elected this fall. I told Mr. Bryan so. This opinion is not based on wild hopes, neither does desire sway me in forming it, but it is the result of a careful canvass made by myself and many friends since the Denver convention adjourned. There will be many surprises when the result of the vote is known. I have found in every section of the country bitter resentment against Republicans, among members of their own party, because of the attitude of leaders on the tariff question.” Mr. Taft says that it is wrong to guarantee bank deposits by law because to do so will lead to bad banking and dishonesty. But he has, after much painful reflection, come to the conclusion that it is proper for banks to voluntarily guarantee deposits. It is queer reasoning. Mr. Taft appears to be as badly muddled on this question as he is on all of the other issues. — —o — Every Woman Will Be Interested.
