NEW YORK, Oct. 24—National
Chairman Mack authorised a statement
today In which he claimed the elec
tion of Win. J. Bryan by a landslide.
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 fol
low*:
Mr. Mack's Forecast.
"The rumblings and thunder of the
Bryan landslide In the wtst'are already
heard In the eastern states, and today
1 can confidently predict the election
• t Mr. Bryan. That lanisllrle lit the
west will extend to the ehores of the
Atlantic. It means the democratic
national ticket will carry every doubt-
national ticket will carry every doubt
ful state In this section, and In rock-
ribbed republican districts. the
majorities of that party in
recent years will be reduced to a min
imum. Basing my forecast on th* most
conservative lines, In view of the op
timistic reports. I have received from
all sections of the country, I. figure
that Mr. Bryan vCUI have at least 301
electoral votes, or 59 more than Is nec
essary for a. choice. This comfort
able majority will bp Increased rather
than decreased whefl the vote is count
ed. • •’ ' 1
States He-Will Carry,
"In addition to the 166 votes of tho
solid south—and In this I includo
Maryland—X am confident, that Mr.
Bryan will carry New York, Now Jer
sey, Connecticut. Montana, Colorado.
» Nebraska. Nevada. Indiana, Ohio, Del*
aware. Kansas and South Dakota—a
total of 801 votes. All over the coun
try there is a- change of 25 to 60 per
tent from the Roosevelt vote of 1904
to Mr. Bryan.
No More Doubt in New York.
'The result is no longer in doubt in
New York. The 39 votes of the state
arc osfiurr-cj for Mr. Bryan. He will
■win by a substantial plurality. The
Empire State can no longor be Includ
ed In that territory called the enemy's
country. I speak from Information
gained from a thorough canvass and
reports from every county In the state.
Connecticut Safe.
"From Connettlcut I have received
very encouraging reports. grudge
Robertson the democratic candidate for
governor will carry the state by about
20,000 plurality and the national tick
et. backed by a united party, has tho
best chance In years for winning the
seven electoral votes., .
In Other "Doubtful" States-
"New Jersey sounds tn optimistic
note and there is every reason to be
lieve that that state will be In the
democratic column. Few If any states
in the union have a better or more
effective organisation than New Jer
sey.
"Mr. Bryan's tour of the state on
Friday last and the ovation he receiv
ed spelled victory to my mind. Tha
internal dissension in the Republican
party In West Virginia and and the
swing of the labor vote In the state
to Mr. Bryan are powerful factors for
his success.
"Delaware wo expect to win. Yhe
people are hot with resentment
against a party branded with Du Pont
Ism. Thousands of republicans there
will either vote for Bryan or not vote
at all.
"In Ohio and Indiana every element
is working for our success and despite
the great republican majorities of pre
vious years. I am confident that both
states wlll.be In the democratic.col
umn. • They are for Bryan today a/id
there Is no reason for believing that
the next week will witness a change
of sentiment. Eighty per cen*. of the
liber vote In both states md fully as
large a percentage of the German pop
ulation are for Mr. Bryan.
Illinois Doubtful.
"Illinois is doubtful with the chances
In favor of Mr. Taft, but If he wins.
It will be a greatly rediibed plurality.
"The pacific coast states all show a
Bryan trend and a disgust of th* ex
travagant. destructive policies of Mr
Roosevelt. In each, particularly In
Oregon, state Isaues are an important
factor.
"The mountain aUtes. from Informs-
tlon I have received within forty-eight
hours, will. I am confident, be counted
In the democratic column. i
"In fine. I figure at the present time.
Mr. Bryan will have at least threo
hundred electoral votes. I Include In
my estimate “the following states:
How He Fiflurss It.
Solid South, 161.
Idaho f-
Montana J.
Colorado 5.

and thay were cnthuahlaetlcally cheered
At the -Brooklyn meeting Mr. Hearst
began hta speech by saying that the
Standard Oil Company haa been large
ly Instrumental In deriding every na
tional election for the past twenty
yeara and then said:
"Mr. Cleveland waa supported by the
Standard Oil Company through auch
of Its Important representatives as the
Paynes. Wm. C. Whitney and Calvin
S. Brice. The servile Sibley showed
his dog-llke devotion to the company
by becoming a democrat In that cam-
P *After the Cleveland fegime the
Standard Oil ‘ Co. affiliated with Mr.
Hanna and contributed liberally to his
political needs, .. .
"Their Intimacy was so great that
Mr. Hanna and the representative of
the Standard Oil Company atwfound
In their correspondence to be cadresa-
ing each other by their first names.
"When Mr. Hanna died the Stan
dard Oil people regarded Mr. Roose
velt with considerable .distrust and
dismay."
There was a noticeable stir tn the
audience at the mention of Mr. Cleve
land's name and a voice shouted:
"Don't drag In the names of tho dead:
let the dead rest In their graves."
Mr. Hearat at the Carnegie Hall
meeting avoided using the name of
Mr. Cleveland, but the name of Mark
Hanna was not omitted.
After a brief Introductory address
the Standard Oil letters were read.
"I will make no comment on these
letters." said Mr. Hearst. "as they ex
plain themselves."
Another Batch of Letters.
Mr. Hearst said in part:
"I have endeavored to show clearly
the corruption of tho two*bld parties
and the need for a new party.
"I have endeavored to show the ne
cessity for the measures which tho
platform of the Independence party
demands If the republic Is to endure.

THE BIGGEST
AND BEST FAIR
Thata the Way Martin Calvin
Describes It Away

ATLANTA. Ga., Oct. 24—“Macon Is
going to have the biggest and j>est
state fair in the history of Georgia and
there Is every Indication thnt the city
will be called upon to welcome record-
breaking crowds."
This Is the way. Hon. Martin V. Cal
vin looks on the state fair which Ma
con Is about to pull off. Mr. Ca)v]n
was in Atlanta today on business con
nected with the experiment station and
while here he talked enthusiastically
about the state fair to be Ijeld under
the auspices of the Georgia State Ag
ricultural Society.
"Wo are fortunate." said Mr. Calvin,
"in having the thorough co-operation
of tho people of Macon and In having
such a man at the head of It as Hon.
Ben L. Jones. He and his associates
are hustlers and I believe he will have
the honor of havlnsr headed the beat
fair In the history of tho society."

to tho effect thnt the road will on in ac

This will come as pleasant news to the
people of this city snd those connected
with Its futuro progress.
This statement carries wltn It an as

the man who did the talking knew what
he waa Raying. The A.. B. A A. people
are now working on the-road and in the
next few months a tremendous effort
will be made to get the lino finished to
Thomonvlllo by that time, so that
through trains can be run from Atlanta,

The people of Thomasvllle i ...
formed that the work would be pushed
