ESTABLISHED IN 1828. MACON, GA., SUNDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 25, 1908 LASHING ALL INTO BRYAN VORTEX WAVE OF PUBLIC OPINION SWEEPS FROM FAR WEST TO THE ATLANTIC nv(Tvn-i-i Chairman Mack Forecasts His Election By Safe Majority WILL RECEIVE 301 VOTES OR 59 MOBETHAN NECESSARY In Addition to the 166 Vote* of the Solid South Mr. Mack it Confident 'Mr. Bryan Will Carry New York# New Jereey# Connecticut, Idaho, Montana, Colorado, Nebraeka, Neva* da, Indiana, Delaware, Ohio, Kan- aas and South Dakota. 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. Nebraska t. Nevada 3.

"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."
