DEMOCRAT SAYS TAFT WILL

WIN

Has Traveled Over Country, Finds Bryan Vote Will Not Be Enlarged.

HUGHES WILL ALSO WIN.

SENTIMENT FAVORS PRESENT NEW YORK GOVERNOR GENERAL CONDITIONS POINT TO REPUBLICAN VICTORY.

St Louis, Oct. 10. A personal friend of William J. Bryan, a representative f the Democratic national committee, a Democrat who has always been loyal to Bryan since 1896 and who has traversed the New England, eastern, mld- : die western,' northwestern and far western states, ' turned up here today and met a number of friends. Later on in the day this friend of Bryan, whose loyalty to the Nebraskan, cannot be questioned, said: "I sincerely hope that Bryan will be elected, but how he is going to be elected is not quite clear." Continuing, this friend of Bryan said: "For the last three weeks I have given careful consideration to the political situation free from prejudice. "The Vermont and. Maine elections, of course, meant nothing, the latter even less than the former. "What has impresed me more than anthing else has been, the results in the local party primaries in several Btates. Whenever the people have been keenly interested in the success of either candidate a large party primary vote is polled. Under other conditions this is rarely true. Party Vote Falls Off. "Local party primaries for the last few weeks have shown a decided falling oft from the full party vote, and this tends to confirm my view that from a political standpoint the ordinary voter the man who is not actively interested in any political organization and, of course, is vastly in the majority is in the condition of an overworked athlete. He has gone stale. He wants now a complete rest from the , political . turmoil and resultant business unheavals that have been going on for several years. ' 'y.S." . . , "He has said: 'Plague on both your, houses; one seems to be no better than the other.' and as he has to take one or the other, he will vote the ticket he has In the past acquired the habit of voting. :' v "One thing that would particularly tend to upsetthis theory is the labor. I know from personal knowledge that within the last few weeks several of the large book , publishing houses - those that sell on the weekly and monthly basis have been instructing their collection agents to particularly inquire,- In an offhand way, among the laboring men, how this vote stands at present. "The report. sent in shows an Increase lor Bryan, so small as to mean nothing important to him in November. ."Another thing, and one with which nearly all are perfectly familiar, is the noiseless, but deep-seated opposition to Bryan among so many leading Democrats.. The apointment by Mack of a large number of men on various committees who bolted the ticket in 1896 and 1900,-would seem a united party. This unity is true in a sense, but a full party vote alone will not elect Mr. Bryan. ' s ' Thinks Hughes Sure Winner. "In New York state Mr. Bryan will receive a. much larger vote than he got in 1900, but at that he will fall at

least 75,000 behind Taf t. fc Chanler will run ahead, of Bryan, but-1 think that Hughes' chances are about five to three over Chanler. "In New Jersey the national committee is counting on the Methodist vote to swing the state, asserting that this vote is practically solid for Byyan. Reports coming to me in the last few days indicate that there are no good grounds for belief. "Delaware is hopeless. The negroes could change the situation, if they voted large numbers for Bryan, but thejr are creatures of habit and will stick to their old-love. "Maryland Is a doubtful state, with political leanings to Taft Bryan has Increased in popularity outside of Baltimore, but not within that city. Haskell Has Hurt Bryan. 'Rhode Island will most likely return a Democratic Governor and give Its electoral vote to Taft. "Connecticut is a Republican state this year. "West Virginia Is surely Republican on national ticket, as are Ohio and Illinois. Indiana will probably elect the Democratic candidate for Governor and there will be a close vote for President, with chances favoring Taft "The western states, with few exceptions, are Republican. "Nevada and Montana may go for Bryan. Washington is the only coast state where the result will be close. "Haskell has hurt Bryan very much In the East. Ridder cOuld raise an appreciable sum of money, if allowed six months in which to do it. Without a considerable sum of money to whirlwind the finish we are apt to

ENGLAND DREADS GERMAN ATTACK

Germany Has Already Arranged Diplomatic Letter to Powers.

A WARNING IS SOUNDED.

Richard Abercorn. London, Oct. 10. War scares are seldom at their most dangerous stage when they are most talked about. Real and imminent peril in England, at any rate, produces silence. At present the writer is very far from saying that England and Germany are on the verge of conflict. He merely desires to record the facts that naval and military circles in this country are in a state of nervous dread of a sudden attack in the near future by German arms. It is this fact that gives peculiar significance to one of the most alarming warnings ever addressed to a nation, which appears in the National Review just published, his sentence alone is sufficiently appealing: "It is known to those who have their hands on national secrets that a German diplomatic circular to the powers is already drafted, announcing that Germany has delivered her attack upon England unexpectedly and in time of peace, because a responsible officer at the British Admiralty had intimated to all on innumerable occasions that England would deliver such an attack upon the German navy and supporting the statement by the evidence of diplomatists and parties whose word cannot be hastily rejected." Condemns British Policy. This statement, whether true or false, is the most striking demonstration ever made of the ease with which casuistry may, at any moment furnish a plausible casus belli. To Justify the article, which bears the signature "Ignotus" and which is strongly indorsed editorially, is a

strong condemnation of the present"

British naval policy and an appeal for instant action to avert, if possible the supposed danger. Following is the concluding portion of the article: , "Just as victory over the British fleet in the North sea is the objective of German naval policy, so is the destruction of the understanding between England and France the objective, of German diplomacy. Germany is determined to break down the entente cordiale and estrange England and France as she estranged France and Austria in the critical years between 1865 and 1870. "By keeping them apart she was able to defeat them in detail and to obtain the hegemony of Europe. ' "If any disloyalty were shown by either power of the present" understanding, peace would not be worth a day's purchase. War would be instant and inevitable. Nor can it be denied that some moral weakening of the entente has already followed the reduction in the British army and the failure of the British nation to reform its military system. "The problem is not to Injure Germany., but to prevent her from using her enormous strength to the ruin of her weaker neighbors. "Had the British government, in 1907, replied to the German navy bill

of 1906 increasing the. German fleet, by corresponding augmentations of the

British naval forces, a deathblow might have been dealt to Germany's naval projects for the present.

"Had England replied in the present

year to the act of 1908 by voting inexorably two keels to Germany's one, it

is as least possible that the German

nation would have abandoned its efforts.. But the two opportunities have been lost, and now there lies before

England a desperate, prolonged and unordinately costly strugle to hold her

own at sea.

"Only the overwhelming preponder

ance of a British force can now maintain peace. The very moment of at

tack cannot be predicted. It will come when this nation leasts expects it.

"The watchword for the day must be

concentration of all the available force

in the North sea in one strong fleet,

and for the future the laying down of two ships to the Germans one, and the reform of the British army. That is the key to European peace, the only chance of averting a terrible and sanguinary conflict."

It may be said in general comment

on the situation that the growing alarm

in England has within the past few weeks communicated itself even to the present Liberal-Socialistic government. It may also be imagined from the foregoing what nervous chills are shaking the spines of British statesmen.

Tales of Tenth Infantry Told By 'the Wayside

Half an hour after the Tenth regiment reached Liberty, after its wearisome tramp from Richmond, an automobile driven by J. Will Mount sped swiftly up to the encampment in the Liberty fair grounds and deposited a private who had disobeyed orders and remained behind in this city. The private marched up to his company commander, saluted and said, "Lieutenant, I report for duty." "How did you get here so quickly?" replied the lieutenant. "Why," answered the soldier, "I came in an automobile!" "The you did!" responded the lieutenant and continued, "Well, you may report yourself "to the guard as under arrest." Then the lieutenant turned to a brother officer and said, "Well, wouldn't that beat the band! Here I have hiked all the way from Richmond and this blooming private comes sailing down in an automobile!"

Ordi narily the baffled villain walks away with a flippant sneer, and the sherit meets him at the left upper exit bu this was old and crude. So the play wrlght set his wits to work with tht following result: Just as the villain uttered his fare well curse the low comedy servan rushed forward and after smiting hin over the head with a suet pudding vio lently pushed a custard pie In his face "Waste no sympathy on the wretch, my darling," the hero remarks to the rescued heroine.

They tell a good story on the chaplain of the Tenth regiment the account of an accident that happened while he was with the. command at its Alaska post The chaplain, who is a Roman Catholic priest vras agreeably surprised one day by a visit from the bishop of that territory. The chaplain took, the bishop through the post and while going through one particular portion, they came across about 300 empty beer bottles. "Horrors," said the bishop, "where did all these dead 'soldiers' come from?" - . "Well, bishop," quickly responded the chaplain, "thanks be, none of them died without the priest being near!"

They tell another good one on the chaplain, that is supposed to have happened while he was in Richmond. The chaplain is one of the best looking men with the Tenth, and is also an extremely interesting conversationalist Of course, being a Catholic priest he is unmarried. He was telling a very entertaining story in his best vein at camp one afternoon last week, to a party of visitors from 'this city, one of which was a young lady. She listened breathlessly while be recounted a stirring tale of an experience in far away Alaska and, after the slight pause that followed the conclusion of his story, said to him, "Father Ferry, are you married?"

Before the Tenth reached Richmond

and while it was encamped at Cam

bridge City, a little Incident occurred ftiat illustrates the trials and tribulations of the officers when dealing, with new recruits. Nearly half the privates of the Tenth have joined only re

cently. Two of these new members

while in Cambridge City, were ordered

to arrest another private who was much the worse for having Imbibed too much, and take him back to camp. They returned to camp all right, but were minus? their prisoner. Next morning these two worthies were haled

before Major Kennon, who is the court of the regiment on the charge of hav

ing disobeyed orders in not having brought the. drunken soldier to camp. One of the culprits acted as spokesman in defense of this breach of orders, and said, "Well, Major Kennon, that man we were ordered to arrest and bring to camp was a great big fellow and, besides, he said he didn't want to roV .

Eating the Octopus. At Atlantic City one day a fisherman caught an octopus, a rare fish in those waters. The octopus, which resembled a frayed and ruined football of brown leather, was carried home by the fisherman in a bucket of water.. "What am I sroing to do with It?" he said. "Why. I'm going to eat it I'd almost as soon eat octopus as scallops. I am a traveler, and I learned in Italy and France the octopus' excellence. Ton can't give an Italian of .be Riviera or a Frenchman of the northwest coast where the fish abounds, a more welcome dish. What does it taste like? It tastes like scallops or like tripe and oysters." Philadelphia Bulletin.
