AS NEW YORK GOES SO GOES NATION Man Who Gets Electoral Vote Of Empire State Will Be President.

EFFORTS CENTERED THERE. GLANCE BACK INTO POLITICAL HISTORY WARRANTS ASSERTIONOTHER GOSSIP FROM NATIONAL CAPITAL. Special to Palladium. Washington, Oct. 24. Keep your eye on New York! Now that the campaign has rounded itself Into shape, politicians generally are agreed that the man who gets the electoral vote of the Empire state will be the next president. From now on republican and democratic managers alike will center their efforts on the New York fight. It is an old saw of politics that as New York goes so goes the nation, but this is not of necessity true. Four years ago Roosevelt could have given Parker New York's 39 electoral votes and still have had the comfortable margin of 118 votes in the electoral college. You often hear it declared that' New York is necessary to the success of this candidate or is not necessary to the success of that one. As a matter of fact, New York's vote Is never necessary to the success of a presidential candidate provided he gets enough votes to elect him without New York. The point is that the conditions which will turn New York one way or the other are certain to overflow into and affect the result In other states, and enough other states together with New York to determine the result. Hence the saying that as New York goes so goes the nation. A glance back at political history will show that this is warranted. In. 1876 Tilden carried New York and Hayes was Inaugurated president, having finally been declared to have a majority of one in the electoral college. Since then New York has been an unerring barometer. Garfield carried it in 1880, and was elected; Cleveland carried it In 1884, and was elected; Harrison carried it in 1888, and was elected; Cleveland carried it in 1892, and was elected; McKinley carried it in 1896 and again in 1900 and Roosevelt carried It in 1904. Yet we find that In each of these cases the successful candidate would have been successful even without the vote of New York, though in 1884 Cleveland would have had but one vote to spare without the 36 electoral votes New York then had. In all other cases the successful candidate would won by a comfortable margin had New York's vote been entirely eliminated from the contest. Had New York's vote not been counted in 1880 Garfield still would have had a margin of 21; Harrison would have had 29 in 1888; Cleveland 74 in 1892; McKinley 59 in 1896 and 101 In 1900, while Roosevelt would have had 118 in 1904. In 1880, 1884 and 1888, therefore, had New York's vote been given to the opposing candidate Garfield, Cleveland and Harison would have lost, while in 1892, 1896, 1900 and 1904 Cleveland, McKinley and Roosevelt would have won had New York been carried by their opponents. When politicians say this year that as New York goes so will go the nation hey mean in the sense that it determined the result in 18S0, 1884 and 1888 and not in the general sense that It will indicate the drift of sentiment, as in the subsequent elections. The diplomatic world holds the opinion that the next acquisition of territories by the United States will be in the West Indies and that Santa Domingo will be the particular piece of real estate to come under the American flag.

now as a sort of elder brother, collecting her revenues and standing off her creditors with partial payments and most well-informed people believe this partial administration is certain to become complete. About the only ones who seem opposed to the prospect are a few colored gentry who miss the easy money their administration of the Black Republic's revenues gave them. Santa Domingo is reputed to be the richest of all the Greater Antilles. Lying just west of Porto Rico and on the direct route to Panama, it is of strageic importance and its possession would be of no little advantage to the United States. Annexation of Santa Domingo could mean nothing but eventual annexation of Haiti, the other black republic occupying the western part of the island and which has caused almost as much trouble as has Santa Domingo.

REPORTS WERE NOT EXAGGERATED. As Many People of Richmond Are Testifying. The Root Juice instructors made many lasting friends while in Richmond. Their wonderful remedy has done worlds of good at this point, and reports of cures -are being circulated from every direction. A. G. Luken s drug store Is more busy than ever wrapping up Root Juice, and listening to the many flattering reports of the great good it is doing. Mrs. Sarah Collins said: "I used to bloat so at times I could hardly get my breath, sour gases would form in my stomach and dull heavy headaches were at times so bad I felt I would go crazy; my tongue coated and I always had a bad taste in my mouth. My hands and feet were cold at times and at other times they would burn like fire, but, thank my good stars, after hearing so much about Root Juice, I went to the drug store and bought a bottle of it and after using the first bottle I went back and bought two more bottles. I have used it all and don't think I will need any more as I feel as well as I ever did in my life." Root Juice seems to be good for any trouble of the stomach, liver, kidneys, bowels or blood. It is sold for $1 a bottle, 3 for $2.50, at A. G. Luken & Co's drug store. EAST GERMANTOWN, IND. East Germantown, Ind., Oct. 24. Preaching services at the Evangelical church Sunday morning by Rev.

SLANG OF JE SAILOR The Lingo That Is Used by Uncle Sam's Bluejackets. MANY QUAINT EXPRESSIONS. The Man-of-war's Man May Be a "Snowdigger" or a "Slopsr," but He Uses the Language of Every Other Sailor. There Is a language that is neither English nor American, down east nor southern, western nor Yankee. It is Just sailors' lingo. No matter what part of the country may be the birthplace of a bluejacket or what his language at home, sooner or later he uses the language of every other sailor. To the civilian a conversation be tween two bluejackets about his life on shipboard is hardly intelligible. The other day on the water front two sailors were overheard talking, says the San Francisco Bulletin. "Oh, he's nothing but a beach comber. He was run up for breaking it once and got sent to the pie wagon," said one of them. "I heard he got six months and a bob before he come here," replied the other. A small boy standing near asked what all those things meant. The sailors were in a good humor and explained. "'Beach comber,' lad? Why, that's a fellow who bangs around a saloon ashore' and never wants to work. 'Breaking it' is staying overtime on shore, and 'run up' is brought to the mast for offenses. The 'pie wagon' Is the place where they put prisoners, and 'six months and a bob' is sentenced to six months in prison and given a dishonorable discharge." There are many other terms and expressions that do not show their meaning on the surface. A "rookie" is a recruit. A man who "ships over" enlists again. A man who ts on the report for mast call is "down for a chance." Canned beef is known as "canned Willie," and a bottle of liquor is a "dog." All things lost on shipboard are put In a room called the "lficky bag." An honorable discharge Is "a big ticket," aud desertion by a sailor is "Jumped." "When the mail arrives on board and is ready for distribution "niallo" is the cry which carries the news. A ship's carpenter Is called "chips," a coppersmith "coppers," a blacksmith "blacky" and the chief of the engineering department "the chief." When a ship is traveling at sea it is "seagoing," and if it hurries it is "making knots." A prison on shore is a "stone frigate." When a man is disrated to a lower rating he is "busted;" when he deserts and voluntarily gives himself up within a period of six months he is a straggler; when he is sitting next the dealer In a friendly game of "draw" he Is "under the gun;" when he Is continually quoting the naval regulations he has "swallowed the blue book," and when he thinks he knows more about the blue book than the captain he is a "sea lawyer." "Pipe down" means lu American slang "shut up." 'Tut in his oar" Is "butt In." "Shove off, Jack," is a hint to move on. When a man is dishonorably discharged he gets a "straight kick." A sailor who draws more pay "draws more water." One who talks too much "blows off at a low pressure." Wednesday afternoon, when the crew overhaul their clothing, is "rope yard Sunday." Any part of tho United States is called "Gods country," and the man from the eastern coast is a "snowdigger," while his brother tar from the west is called "sloper." The duty of calling the mea In the morning falls to the master at arms, and he says ""show a leg" or "rise up and shine." When a man has had no night watch and gets up in the morning with a good appetite it is "all night in and beans for breakfast." One of the more familiar sea terms is'caught a crab," meaning caught an oar in the water. When a sailor has several enlistments to his credit be is ; called "a sea dog" or "an old salt" - A gentle hint from one sailor to an- ! other that he does not believe something which is being told to him is "tell i it to a marine." To re-enlist is to ! "slip over," and when more than half ; the enlistment is- in a sailor Is "going : downhill." i Hi Office Hours. Pat, a miner, after struggling tor years in a western mining district, finally giving tip in despair, vaa abo'it to turn his face eastward when suddenly he struck It rich. Soon after- ; ward he was seen strutting along, dressed in fine clothes. One day an old friend stepped him. saying: - "And how are you, Pat? I'd like to talk to you.
