Washington, Oct. 16.-The pre diction of the New York World that Chanler will be elected Governor of New York by a majority of 190,000 and that Taft wlii carry the State by 15,000 is one of the leading politi cal topiCB of the day, and it ls regard ed as the most favorable forecast on comparatively reliable information that lias been made, from the Dem ocratic point of view. It is generally asserted that if Chanter is elected.by 190,000, Taft cannot possibly carry that State. The World's estimates are based on careful polls, and are perhaps the most nearly accurate yet published. The Herald's fore?k?t to about as favorable from the Demo cratic point of view. It takes Ohio out of the column of doubtful States, and classes lt "wavering"-In other words, there is no telling what may happen in that State. The fact that Mr. Taft's managers have arranged for him to make nearly a score of speeches in his own State Indicates that they are apprehensive. Senator Foraker's friends-and they are still legion In Ohio-are very "sore" on Taft and Roosevelt and the Repub lican cause In Ohio has not been helped by Roosevelt's attacks on Foraker, for simply accepting legal fees from the Standard Oil Company. As one paper expresses lt, "inside in formation from Ohio Indicates that the reports of Senator Foraker's poli tical death were very much exagger ated." From California comes Informa tion that Bryan ls making a better run In that State, than ever before. His conduct In the controversy with the President ls complimented, and lt ls stated by the press of that State and by he visitors from the West that he got the better of that con test. One prominent politician from San Francisco, who Is hlso prominent as a business man, now on a visit to Washington, says: "Bryan never before made such a businesslike canvass. The people of the country, Democrats and Repub licans alike, are favorably Impressed with the tone of the letters he ad dressed to President Roosevelt, while the missives of the latter are cen sured as unnecessarily rude and un businesslike. Of the two men, Roosevelt ls the most radical, and business men and financiers have va rious reasons to prefer Brynn to ano ther four years of Roosevelt policies. Another feature of the Republican campaign ls the fact that Taft ls completely overshadowed; that he stands In the background, while Theodore Roosevelt does the talking and fighting. It places' Taft In the wrong light. People want to know whether he Isn't big enough to take care of himself. If Roosevelt would only withdraw from the fight and al low the two candidates to get In the ring, much of the mudslinging would have been avoided." - HEALTH INSURANCE The man who Insures hts life ts wise for his family.

The station at Kuhuku was caught at 1.30 o'clock this morning and messages wore exchanged until I o'clock. It Is said that communica tion during the two and one-half hours was uninterrupted.

Thompson, editor of the Pickens Sentinel-Journal, and will assist in the publication of that paper. Col. Gantt has had much ex perence, both In this State and in Georgia. A Newcomer's Deduction. "They say he has been engaged to at least three out of every five girls in this town." "That must account for lt." "For what?"
