Today he says that the js&atea in which he in interested?Mon Edaho, Washington and those the Pacific coast?are likely to toe absolutely Democratic when the campaign closes. I only quote him because it bos not been my good for Mbss) to be in that part of the country ?CP late months. But he as a Re lean ought to know something it It and as a Republican says the Pacific coast Is almost solid 4? Mr. Bryan. Asid es to the Cost. At Che moment. I am writing Mr. ffhyan is speaking in New York and BO adjseentotatss. What the effect of his isjfcsoches,. there may be can only be de termined after the election is held. I putter* and those who are associated ?w&h me believe that he is going to ?whig Mew York, New Jersey, Con ?eetkmt and Rhode Island. We have 'Arne to the conclusion that there is no jspoger. a bitter antagonism against H?xyaa." We believe that the people of einst have come to recognise in a champion of the people's cause. fe hold that as he bos preached the il and ethical end of politics he grown and developed as a leader isf the American people. Sometimes I ttftuk ?hat Mr. Bryan Is toss of a poli dteisn than he is a moral teacher. jUfhssf he devotee months of his time 4s lectsjres before Chautauqua oaso Hslationa, when be speaks Sunday after fctandoy before a Presbyterian or a Htethoiist church, he is doing the kind (of work that the ordinary politician toever'undertakes. The politician goes took to make his speeches on free trade jor the relations of the different de jpajtm'ento of the federal government jto each other. Mr' Bryan talks about the Prince of Peace, he talks about !*fce ethical and the moral phases of politics, and he bilks to a Methodist ^assemblage with exactly the same ear mastness that he shows when he speaks ,-to an ordinary political gathering. Is U* notvprobable that with all this work a*e has been doing Mr. Bryan will have Jbnilt up a new political following? Is it not likely that,, whatever may be the activities of the Republican national committee, the men and the women iwho have listened to Mr. Bryan speak Sag on matters of this character will ?earnestly and enthusiastically support Ibis candidacy? 1 get much of this jtalk concerning what he has been do ring, not in politics, but in the higher Itype of religious and ethical work in fthis- country, and I am very much in -dined to believe that what he has done is likely to carry him through to ?complete success and to make him the next president of the United States, Watch and Prey. : Over here in the United States we liave a watch trust that preys upon ?fhe people. Congressman Henry T Sainey of Illinois carries a watch which very curiously illustrates the predatory methods of the watch trust, jit was offered by Charles A. Eeene. a *New York watch dealer, Independent of the trust, to President Roosevelt defused by the president and accepted toy Mr. Rainey. Kngraved on the front ease is Ihe ?tory of Its offering to the president And his refusal of it. This is how it Tends: HOME AND FOREIGN PRJCES. Waltham and Elgin. Homo. Foreign. ttiversfde Waltham.

But ai the same >tfme the situation exists with sewing^ fcnacblues. with ugrhuiltur.il machinery, [wirb many k:mls of ti>..:s \vitirh the ordfinrr American, whether mechanic e? farmer, is compelled to ose ia this country. They are sold abroad for less'than they can he bought for with in this cbdntry',' and for that Very rea son 'there, should be a determined ef fortjoo the part ef the people to(compei a reduetJoa of the tarif on artfclsa thus purveyed to forcig-? customers' at leas than the domestic p.-tce. I bare reason to, bellet? that area the Standard OH con. pany is sailing Its product in Qreat. Britain at leas than ft will sell,it here in our own country, where it pumpe, the crude petroleum out of the bowels of the earth; Every body knows that the United States Steel company; seHs steel in foreign lands for leas than It will sell it to our American shipyards. And the one thing that' enables" these corporations to In vade foreign markets for the profit of their own stockholders in the tariff. There Is no profit apparent for the American people, who. have to pay the tariff tax. The attack made by Mr. Hearst on Senator Foraker was vicious and yet at this moment of writing seems to have been supported by necessary evi dence. Personally I know nothing about the facts'In the ease, and I am aa little'fond of Foraker as of Hearst But I am Inclined to wonder whether the . controversy' arose * from Mr. Hearst's own personally conducted po litical party or whither It was hot In cited by Mr. Taft himself or by bis brother, Charles P. Taft The latter statesman Is desirous of being the next senator from Ohio. Naturally he sees that Mr. Foraker stands in his way. Therefore he is willing to fight Foraker and! to carry out what waa said was the purpose of the Taft or ganization a year ago?namely, to elim inate Foraker from politics. It so happens that I know Mr. Hearst moderately well, and I am en tirely confident that he would not hes itate for a moment to lend, bis aid to Charles P. Taft if by so doing be conld hurt cither Mr. Foraker or the Democratic national ticket Tho Ohio Outlook. The effect of this attack will be to absolutely destroy the Republican par ty In Ohio this year. It will destroy it not because the people of that state believe that the charges made against Senator Foraker are thoroughly well founded, but because the Foraker fac tion in the state will bellere, as It does believe today,' that these charges were made by a mercenary of politics at the Incentive of Taft's own brother. Per sonally I do not believe that Senator Forrfker represents all that Is sweet ness and Hgbt in politics, but be has got back of him a tremendous and a' devoted following in the state of Ohio. This following will refuse to believe that be is in this particular incident guilty of any unlawful act They will believe that certain letters have been purloined by an agent of the Taft family from the files of the Standard Oil company and bavo been need for Foraker's undoing. The publication^ of these letters may undo Foraker. Probably it will. But it is mighty likely to undo Taft as 'Well, for there Is no; man in public life who has a more devoted personal fol lowing in his own state than Joseph B. Foraker. If It be made clear, as it certainly will be, that these letters were turned over to Hearst by some one closely associated with the Taft campaign, you will find that the men who have marched with Foraker for years back will march Into their tents and permit Mr. Taft to fight his battle himself. Thus is only one of the many bitter quarrels among Republicans. There ure others In Indiana, in Kansas, in Wisconsin and in Minnesota. But, after all, the real issue Is likely to settle down upon this: If Mr. Roose velt Is to select his successor aa pres ident and if Mr. Taft is to select his brother as senator from Ohio and. If Mr. Charles P. Taft is to be the dorn- j iuant factor in selecting the congres sional delegation from Ohio, how far | are we from Imperialism and a hered itary monarchy'' ? What Happened In Indiana. Everybody believes that Indiana is going to be this year a straight Dem ocratic stale. Of course belief does not mean proof. Hut we have some proof that may possibly Justify our be lief. For example, only the other day I it became necessary for the vt>ters of Indiana to elect a number of members of the state ieglslature to till vacancies which had been caiwed by death or by Inability of the regularly elected mem bers to serve. There were five of these districts that were in the past solidly Republican. Four of them this year returned Democratic candidates. One, which had a record of '2,600 Republic an majority, this year dropped to 208. So much for Indiana. But on the very day that this hap|>ened a procni uent Republican politician whom I have known for year and who has been one of the principal managers of the Beveridge candidacy encountered me in Chicago. He Informed me that the state of Indiana this year was al-1 most us safely 1 ?emoeratie as the state of Texas. And he further declared that in his travels throughout the] 1'nited States he whs convinced that I the whole nation was this time goim; for Bryan and Kern. And whatever may have been his' purpose or hLs prejudice I hud this to be true?that throughout the United State? the gren! ???? wsp^rHMV. the met ropolitan newspapers of Ihe laud, are chins to the Bryan candidacy atteu tiou which they never gave Ii before. I am writing this from Chicago, and to day, while there is not an avowed Dem ocratic paper in Chicago, there is no I one single unr:iir paper prluted. The newspapers of the United States which in 1S9C were bitterly against us are this year looking toward us at l.-ast with favoring eyes.
