BR&yAN LANDSLIDE.
Confidently Claimed That Democratic
Nominee Will Get 301 Electoral
Votes-Sure of Doubtful
. V States.
New York, Oct. 24.-National
Chairman Mack authorized a state
ment today in which he claimed the
election of Wm. J. Bryan by a land
slide. Mr. Mack announced that his
reports showed that Mr. Bryan would
receive at least 301 electoral votes or
59 more than is necessary for a
choice, Mr. Mack's forecast of the
election follows:
"The rumblings and thunder of the
Bryan landslide in the West are al
ready heard in the Eastern States.
and today I can confidently predict
the election of Mr. Bryan. The laind
slide in the west will extend to the
shores of the Atlantic. It means the
Democratic national tickets will carry
every doubtful State in this sectioi,
and in rockribbed Republican dis
tricts, the majorities of that party in
recent years will bo reduced to a
minimum. Basing my forecast on the
most conservative lines in view of the
optimistic reports I have received
from all sections of the country. .I
figure that Mr. Bryan will have at
least 301 electoral votes, or 59 more
han is necessary for choice. This
omfortable majority will be increas
rathcr than decreased when the
e is counted.
"In addition to the 166 votes of
Solid South-and in this I in
e Maryland-I am confident that
Bryan will carry New York, New
., Connecticut, Idaho. Montana,
orado, Nebraska, Nevada, Indiana,
, Delaware, Kansas and South
ta-a total of 301 votes. All
the country there is a change of
o 50 per cent. from the Roosevelt
Vte of 1904 to Mr. Bryan.
. "The result is no longer in doubt
in New York. The 39 votes of the
State are assured for Mr. Bryan. He
will win by a substantial plurality.
The epmpire State can no longer be
included in that territory called the
enemy's country. I speak from in
formation gained from a thorough
canvass and reports from every coun
tv in the State.
"From Connecticut I have received
very encouraging reports. Judge
Robertson, the Democratic candidate
for governor, will carry the State by
about 20,000.plurality and the nation
al ticket, backed by a united party,
has the best chance in years for win
ning, the seven electoral votes.
"Mr. Bryan's tour of the State on
Friday last and the ovation he re
eived spelled victory to my mind.
The in,ternal dissension in .the J1epub
lian party in West Virginia and the
swing of the. labor vote in that State
to Mr. Bryan are powerful factors fcr
his success.
"Pelaware we exmpeot to win. The
people are hot with resentment
against a party branded with DuPont
ism. Thousands of Republicans there
will either vote for Bryan or not vote
at all
"In Ohio and Indiana every ele
ment is working for our success and
espite the great Republican majori
ies of previous years, I am confident
hat bothi States will be in the Demo
ratie column. They are for Bryan
oday and there is no reason for'be
eving that the next w'eek will wit
ess a change of sentiment. Eighty
r eent. of the labor vote in both
tates and fully 'as large a percen
as of the German population are for
.Bryan.
"Illinois is doubtful with the chan
in favoi- of Mr. Taft, but if he
s.'it will be by a greatly reduced
urality.
"The Pae.ific coast States all show
Bryan -trend and a disgust of the
ravagant, destructive policies of
.Roosevelt. In each, particularly
Oregon, State issues are an im
ant factor.

THE BOY AND THE BIRD.
he bird at which the boy had fired
rus dow it legs-nd wabbled as
if about to fail; then recovered itself I
and flew on, its legs dangling. A 1
chance shot had apparently broken I
its back, paralyzing its legs, but leav
ing it still strength enough to fly a
certain distance. Trained hunter as 1
he was, the boy watched the wounded
bird, and marked the exact spot I
where it finally dropped just at the I
edge of a cornfield a half mile away.
"I think I'll go after it," said the
youth.
"Nonsense.' said Luther. "It's a
half-mile away. and you have all you
want without it."
"But the bird is wounded. I hate
to have it lie out there and suffer."
"Oh. it's probably dead; or if it
isn't. some skunk or weasel will kill i
it tonight. Come along."
It was nearly sunset. and the youth
was tired after the long tramp of the
day. It would be a long trip over to
the cornfield for weary legs-and
then perhaps to find the bir~' dead.
Already it was supper time at home,
and he had a hunter's appetite. So
he allowed himself to be over per
suaded and the two tramped home
ward.
But the grouse that had fallen over
in the cornfield was not dead. Nor, as
it chanced. was its wound of a kind to
produce speedy death. The injury
did, however, render the bird utterly
helpless. Once it had dropped to the
earth. it could not rise gain. Nor
could it move abom: on the ground
for its legs were p tralyzed complete
ly. It lay on the bare earth, shelter
ed by the cornstalks fi-om the eyes
of hawks, and where there was not
much danger that a marauding beast
would find it. But there was no food
at hand. It was doubtful even wheth
er the bird would b able to sip a
few drops of dew from a cornstalk
to quench the thirst that its wound
must develop.
Quite obviously fate had marked
the grouse for a lingering dea-th of
torture. Its wound, already painful,
must become more so with the lapse
of time. Insects would come in
phalanxes to pester it. Hunger and
thirst would add their modicum of
agony. The greatest mercy it could
hope for would be the coming of
some skunk or weasel. as the hunter
had suggested. to put it out of mis
ery. But no such messenger of speedy
death chanced to come that way.
Dr. Williams describes the church
service the following Sunday morning,
and the awakening of the boy's mind
to fear that the wounded grouse
might not have died all these days,
and he goes on:
"The youth 's soul was undergoing
development in .that half hour.' He
was making one of those short cuts
from point of view to point of view.
He was passing (little as he realized
it) from the barbarian-hunter stage
to a plane of broader sympathies.
"All through the lesson he sat
brooding the same thoughts, and as1
he left the church the idea of the
wounded bird had taken full posses
sion of his mind. Instead of going
home, he set out for the field where
he had shot the grouse. He believed
he might find the bird even yet. At
least he would .try.
"A good memory and a keen eye en
abled him to go about the point of
the field from which the grouse had
flushed; and over by the cornfield
he noted the exact point (merked by
a peculiar fence post) where the
wounded bird had gone down. lie
went directly to it, and had scarcely
entered the cornfield when his dog
came to a point. There ahead on
the ground lay the bird stretched at
full length. It made no ceort to es
ape as he came up. It was too near
death to fear him or anything, its
eyes half closed, its bill agape, as it
feebly gasped for breath.
"In an instant the youth was on
his knees beside the bird, a great
lump in his throat, his eyes staring
as if they would start from their
sockets. The meaning of it all came
to him with the force of a blow.
Mechanically he brushed away the in-*
sets that gathered about the wound
in the bird 's back. He stroked the
soiled plumage tenderly. He found
himself calculating the hours that the
grouse had lain there suffering. It
happened Wednesday and this was
Su nd;ay---twenty-four, forty-eight,
seven ty-two. about ninety hours; yes,
fully ninetv. What a cruel stretch of
torture! The youth recalled an oc
casion when he had had a toothache
for two hours that had seemed inter
minable: but the meaning of that
ninety hours of pain came home to
him yet more vividly. In an agony
of remorse he knelt there, thinking.
thinking. He closed his eyes, and
when he opened them. a few mi?nutes
later, the grouse had ceased to
breathe.
''The youith roseC su(ddely and
walked to the verge of the cornfield.
He selected a spot in a fence corner,
and began to dig a hole. The ground
inife adn a piece of stick to aid him;
>ut he persevered the more stubborn
y as his fingers became sore from
ligging. When the grava was deep
mough, the youth went .after the
)ody of the grouse and took it up
-ery tenderly, as if so much of suf
ering had given it sacredness. He
aid the poor thing carefully in the
,round, smoothing its every feather.
Phen he resolutely scooped in the
[irt till the grave was filled.
"It was a thoughtful vouth who
L.ked slowly homeward across the
ields that autumn day. He was ask
ng himself what right he had to in
lict such suffering as that. What
nanner of friend to the birds was
e that could wish only to kill them?
Vhat pleasure could he get in future
n shooting always with the possibil
ty of re-enacting the tragedy of the
ornfield?
"Long before he reached home the
outh had made up his mind. He
Enew that he should never shoot his
un again. He had entered a new
)hase of life. The desire to kill was
o longer strong in him. The instinct
f the hunter had left him forever.''
