It Is said that they have induced Mr. Fairbanks to add his entreaties to those of the others who see the handwrit-1 Ing on the wall. While it was expected Mr. Taft would cancel his engagement more gracetully, it was bound to come, and he is likely to' issue an even broader statement, if they don't let him alone. It’s "tuf.” From the hum of things at present the approaching democratic state convention is going to be a Hummer, reminding one of the old days, and causing the recent republican convention to listen like a side-show. The ; democrats are alive. They are going to win and all the false reports of dissension from the republican press will not stop them. There Is a con- i test on for every office with the ex- i ception of that of state superintendent, which nomination goes to Proses- j sor Aley, who will stand for his sec- , ond election to a two-year office. ;
