For President WILLIAM H. TAFT
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
Do you think the county needs a preacher of righteousness at the head of the government, or does it need a man with the rthe temperament and equipment of a builder? THE COUN1RY IS WEARY OF THE SPECTACULAR, IT WANTS ENCOURAGEMENT.
4 WHERE CAN MR. BRYAN WIN? MR. BRYAN IS A BEATEN MAN Unless "he can win New York for his own his chances are hardly worth considering. In the electoral college there are now 483 votes. The number necessary to elect is 242. Suppose we survey the situation calmly? What conceivable combination of states, leaving New York out of consideration, can give Mr. Bryan 242 votes? ; . The twelve states of the south, including Oklahoma, have an electoral vote of 127, of these Mr. Bryan is practically sure and he is sure of no more. But it is possible, perhaps probable, that he will also carry the border states of Maryland, Kentucky, Missouri and West Virginia the latter state only because of unfortunate factionalism. These four states have forty-six electoral votes. Assuming that they all go to Mr. Bryan and adding them to the 127 southern votes, the total is 173, which is sixty-nine below the necessary 242. Where can be pick them up? -
In the Pacific and Rocky Mountain region, there is no glimmer of Bryan hope except in Nevada and Montana, and these two states have but six
votesl In the middle west the only chances he has are in Indiana, fifteen votes
and Nebraska eight votes the two together twenty-three votes.
But let's throw in Ohio's twenty-three votes for good measure, making a conceivable forty-six votes in the middle west. Adding the figure six of
Nevada and Montana, we have fifty-two added to 173, giving 225. Mr,
Bryan, counting everything in his favor, is still seventeen votes behind a
majority.
Where can he get those votes? Anywhere in New England? No one is politically crazy to think so. In Pennsylvania? Ridiculous. It may be that three of them could be picked up in Delaware, but there is still a
shortage of fourteen. This review covers the country with the exception of New York and New Jersey. It is obvious that Mr. Bryan's chances are not
worth talking about unless he gets New York or New Jersey and the likeli hood of his getting New Jersey isn't worth talking about).
So New York is Bryan's only crutch. In 1S96 the New York plurality
against Bryan wras 268,000. In 1900 it was against him 144,000 In 1904 it
was against Parker 176,000
Now honestly, how can Mr. Bryan's followers think they can figure out
any show for him? O WORKING THE OLD, OLD GAME. THE DESPERATE EFFORT MADE by the democrats, under the lead
ership of Samuel Gompers to whip the laboring men into line, is becoming
more and more a palpable failure. ' . Democratic organs have started their old frazzled game of ATTEMPT
ING TO ARRANGE CLASS AGAINST CLASS and it is a bitter failure. In a democratic sheet we find the words "greedy manufacturers,'" "grinding
manufacturers," "plundering manufacturers"" showing the reprehensible ef
fort to incite the laboring man against the manufacturer the source of his
bread and butter. Bryan and his supporters smiled on the manufacturer in the beginning of the campaign. Now they find the business men, the man
ufacturers almost as a unit against them and the mask has come off. Now
the Bryanites seeking to enlist the laboring men on their side, incite class against class. This shows up Bryan in his true colors. It shows what he will do to the manufacturer if he was elected. If Mr. Bryan succeeded in smashing the industrial fabric, putting the factories in idleness, as in
that great souphouse administration of Cleveland's, what would become of
you, Mr. Workingman?
Would Mr. Bryan and his democratic organs feed the mouths of your
wife and babies? t IT WAS A SAD DISAPPOINTMENT

IT HAS BEEN A TERRIBLE BLOW FOR the democrats to laid that
they can't use Governor Hanly as a tool to stir up partisasushp among the republicans. The information that Mr. Watson is to aid Mr. Beveridge two
years hence and that Hanly will not be a candidate for the United States
senate, is not at an pleasing to the Bryanites in this state. They had hoped to use that as a weapon against the republicans; indeed they had already
began to use it. But their claws have been clipped in this respect, and they
will have to fall back on the brewery trust for more of the sinews of war. G
THE DEMOCRATS, who are trying to get bets on Marshall, had better
save their money. A lot of people seem to be under the impression that the
republican majority in this state last election was 2,500. The republican ma
joprity was 93,000 The democrats are using some of those dream-book figures
agam.
EDITOR HICKEY of Whiting, said that in his opinion Lake county
would give a democratic majority of 600 to 800 this year. Just think of it
If you study this prediction carefully after taking into consideration that
the republican majority was nearly 3,000 at the last election, you will know-
where the democrats get the rest of their wonderful dope.
DO YOU KNOW THAT the Typographical union's president declares that the labor vote cannot be delivered in .a bunch and corresponds with the wide

REV. J. C. MOYNIHAN.
The Rev. Jeremiah C. Moynihan, who celebrated last May the. 100th anniversary of his birth, and was then in excellent health, died yesterday in Chicago. When the centenarian priest was "discovered" by the school census six months ago he, was confident of adding a few more years to his great total, but he was attacked a month ago by a weakening ailment which resulted fatally because of Ms age. He was born in Ireland, and, after entering, the priesthood there, came to America, where he spent the greater part of his life in New Orleans. At one time he was spoken of as a favored candidate for the bishopric of New Orleans, but his age was against him, and the pallium was given to a younger man. He, was made a canon there. His deepest Interest was in the

Salt Lake City, Oct. 13. United States Senator Beveridge, who spoke here last night, said that if Bryan were elected his administration would be fought by a powerful element in his own party. Senator Beveridge demanded that Mr. Bryan answer the following questions: , "If you are elected will the democratic leader of the senate, Snator Culberson, support your franchise plan for controlling fhe trusts? "Will Senators Rayncr, Daniels and Bacon support or oppose this plank in your platform? "Are you willing that a public poll of democratic senators shall be taken as to whether they will support or oppose you in your principal policies? v'As a citizen, do you think any man should be elected president whose administration was doomed in advance to dissension and failure by the practically unanimous opposition of his own party?"

Mr. Watson will speak at -five different places in the county on that day, the meeting here being set for 4 o'clock in the afternoon.

Just what ticket is going to be supported by the voters in the E. F. Johnston home on South Hohman street is bothering some people who pass by it. In the front window is a Taft and Sherman lithograph, at the side windows are Bryan and Kern lithographs. The report is that Mr. Johnston, who is secretary of the Commercial club of Hammond, is a democrat, but Mrs. Johnson is a republican. This will explain, at least, how each is able to loyally support the pet ticket.

tooth and toenail for the entire republican slate, and if two-thirds of the townships in Lake county line up as solid as Center township, there will be no question as to republican majorities being the biggest ever. From the fight the democrats are waging against us, I cannot see where we should show them any quarter, and if, as they claim, certain of their candidates deserve a second term, why did they put a ticket in the field against some of the republican candidates who have only served one term and are now trying to defeat them. The rule 'works both ways."
"Have no Idea as to how large the crowd at the Watson meeting next Saturday will be, but if the weather is fine, from the reports we have received from the surrounding country, it will be safe to cal it 'monster,' " said a prominent member of the committee yesterday.
Democrat "I've heard it said that Bryan stays awake long into the night thinking out his speeches for the next day. Just think how sincere he must be." Republican "He may be sincere all right, but from his speeches and the tangles they get him into, he must forget the plans in hia waking moments and gives the public the next day a couple of nightmares that have troubled him the evening before."
The republicans need no further argument, no further satire, no further weapon against the cause of the Peerless One, than his two past platforms, and no conscientious democrat can read them and their remarkable predictions without seeing that the leader of their party is very prone to mistakes and e ntirely unfitted to take charge of the great American nation.
