WHO WILL BE ELECTED PREBI

The shsoiblug question In thla

election, and this Interest grows from
day to day until the tatetul day shah
come and this question he settled
It sometime* happens that there Is
little doubt about the result of the
presidential election. This was the
ease four year* ago, when for
months belnr. election dav tt was
generally rccugntled that It would be
a republican landslide This year it
t* ditto nut. It ta curiam shat the
republlcaua will meet heavy loaaes,
hut wid those losses be great enough
to cause the defeat of the republteau
| nominees? The republican plurality

Koosevelt's popular plurality was
2.J46.615. or more than 60 per cent
|of the enttre democratic vote, and
hla majority iu the electoral college
| was l»k voles, or 66 more than the

ker If this immense majority should
ibe a landslide and that thla wttt be
| 'he esse Is expected bv alt. Can thla
I landslide assume such proportion* as
; to reverse n*)oritles—that t* the ab
sorbing quest lon
The total number ot vote* In the
elector*! college thla year I* 493. and
343 vote* are necessary to make ,t
choice The state* confidently claim
cd by the republican* are California

I Hampshire 4, North Dakota 4, Penn

ginia 7, making a total of 183
votes.
The following stares are certain
to go for Bryan:
Alabama 11, Florida 5, Kentucky
13, Maryland 8, Missouri 18, Oklaho
ma 7, Tennessee 13, Virginia 13, Ar
kansas ft, Georgia 13, Louisiana ft,
Mississippi 10, North Carolina 13,
, Bouth Carolina ft, Texas 18, .. total
of 1C« voles. To these may he added
Colorado ... Montana 8, Nebraska S.
I and Nevada 3, all of which are rea
sonably certain for Bryan, bringing
bis vole up to 183. This Would leave
Taft needing 34 votes, and Bryan 7,7
votes, which respectively they must
) get to secure the election.
Kansas lo votes, Wisconsin 13 and
Idaho 3 may be safely counted - for
I Taft, which would give him 38 mo'e
I votes, or -8 short of the required
j number, and these he could get if
he curried New York, having 39 votes,
or Ihi other doubtful states of Ohio
23, Indiana 15, South Dakota 4, and
( tali 3. As Indiana Is a very doubt
j tijl stali*. and certainly not remain
j in the republican column if the land
slide towards democracy he strong
i enough to swing New York over, It
i appears that Taft must carry New
| York to he elected.
And l he same applies to Bryan,
i After counting for him the states he
will certainly carry, he will be 57
votes short of the necessary number
to bi elected. Should he carry all the
oilier doubtful stales he would Hi.il
lack 10 votes. If lie carries New
York, the same causes which will
operate to give him that, state will
give him the other necessary 18 votes
I In the doubtful slates of the west.
So it appears that New York Is the
pivotal state. The candidate who
carries New York will be elected.
they lowered the tax rate.
Iliere is a city never mind its
name, hut it I* within les* than a thou
sand miles or Augusta where there
was much and very hard kicking
among the citizens last year on ac
count of the heavy taxes they were
assessed by l heir city Dads. And
well they had a tight lo kick, for the
City lax rate was $14.50 per thousand.
Mindful of the storm of protests- and
illy Dads like oilier officials are al
ways mindful of them when election
time draws near these officials put '
their heads together to devise some
plan whereby the tax rate might be
reduced.
Ii was a difficult problem. The city '
had not made any considerable
growth, to add to Its income by that
means. There was no way to reduce
the fixed expenses, for they dared not
apply the pruning knife lo any offi
cial's salary. And In addition to that
the city's lighting plant hail been dam
aged several thousand dollars by the
August freshet, which must be repaired,
and $5,000 worth of school bond*
would full due and must be retired.
In ihe face of all these difficulties
they u< compllahed tho seeming.y Im
possible luck. They reduced the city's
lux rate from sl4 50 per thousand to
$llOO per thousand. The Income un
der this rale was calculated and com
pared with the required appropria
tions and found to balance. The glad
tidings of the reduced tax rate was
given to the people, and the people
hailed these city dads it* faithful and
i efficient servants, as wise lawmakers
ami friends of the people. They sang
their praises with heartfelt joy and.
i of course, rewarded them with another
term of office.
Men who can so manage ns to re
duce taxes Imposed ou the people are
the men who should be elected to of
lice, every time. This was done and
Joy was unanimous, the people happy
over having their tax rate lowered
e handsomely, and the city council
men over having been again elected
to serve their fellow-citizens.
Then eante the time for the pay
mem of taxes, and with this a storm
broke loose. The tax rate had been
lowered all right, but the assessments
had been raised, and the tdividua) tax
payer found, on squaring his account
with Ihe city, that despite this re
duced lax rute the amount of his tax
"a* just a little Idt more thun It had
been last year. And now there Is more
kicking over ta*es In that city than
there was last year. The paeans of
Joy over the reduced tax raie have
been changed Into growls of discon
tent over the raising of the assess
ment, and the member* of council are
called alt the hard names In the
< lexicon.
Thnt Is the way with the people
generally. They can never tntnk that
what the government spends wheth
er it be city, county, state or Fed
eral-must be pulled out of the pock
et* of the people by some method.
Vs a rule the people are always i .ijor
and clamoring for the government to
do n little more than It tins been do
ing They Insist upon It, they urge tt,
and if given a chance they will vote
for It And then, when the money Is
taken out of thetr pockets to foot the
bills, they raise n howl about It.
Yet tt is vor\ certain that there Is
no other way, for the government has
no money except as It makes the |ieo
pie deliver It up Into the public Irens
urv It makes little dtt reuce by
what method this ta dene The cold,
hard inevitable fact Is that the peo
pie must supply what the government
spends, and the only wav taxes may
he made lighter La hv making the ex
tiense* of the government less.
At the elei-'lon next month the peo-
I pie will be required lo vote on the
jamendment to the constitution to pay
a pension to all Confederate soldiers
-and their windows, regardless of any
conditions. Of course this amend
ment will bo ratified by a large mi
i jorltj her people always favor the
government doing something for the
j people
Thla will double the atate'a pension
I account It w ill add another million
'to he taxed out of th* people.
, Whether this hr dime by Increasing
I the tax rate or raising assessments
makes no difference—the people must
pay It the aam* under either proreaa.
And Mien pre|>ar*' to hoar the howl
I thnt will be raised.

Cannon And The Fig ht In His District.
Next In Interest to the presidential
campaign, which has emerged from
[ marked quiet to a period of distinct
activity, is the fight made against
.Speaker Cannon In his own district.
Czar of the House as he has been
for years, dominant figure In hls
own district, and elected time after
lime with practically no opposition,
Ihe congressman is now engag'd In
the hardest fight he has ever waged
While rallying every possible force
to bis aid, Speaker Cannon has had
manifest, evidence in the past several
month 'hat, hi defea* would bring
as few tears from men in the ranks
of nls own party as ft would from the
Democrats. Many ar.lftnOsitlea that
owe their origin to his despotic rule
In the lower house are being secret
ly, but venomously, expressed in the
fight made against the veteran legis
lator from the Middle West.
No campaign of recent years—not
even barring the Littlefield contest
lias been marked with such determi
ned activity by the advocates of or
ganized labor. The Amerfean Federa
tion of Labor has sent men Into the
Danville district to carry on a cam
paign against the speaker for the
rest of the month. Improbable as Ii
is 'bat ibis opposition will mean his
defeat, It evidences the bitter feet
Ing that the speaker has had arous
'd against, him by hls high-handed
methods In the past.
At the same time, it is probable
that the congressman will be re
elected. Few men are more strongly
entrenched In a particular district
than Cannon. He has an effeective
machine at his back that is straining
every part to effect his victory, atm

Turkish fleet ordered to visit the
Isles of Samos and Oldhoss!
Rushed down to board the flag
ship, the Medjidle. Found ‘he cap
tain, Tuff Pasha, standing on edge
of dock. "This is fine,” he said;
“ordered to Oldhoss, and I've never
been to sea in my life! How do
leople Und their way on the water?
—there are no roads!"
"Follow one of the mail steamers,”
I suggested. Tuff Pasha cheered up
at once, and declared that as soon
as the gardeners had done their work
l.e would put to sea. The Medjl
die, il appears, had been so long In
one place thut she had grown to it.
When the gardeners had finished,
the carpenters puttied up the moth
holes in ihe armor, a bucket brigade
carried water to the dock, and the
warship was afloat.
Tuff Pasha mounted to the bridge,
and. shouting to the helmsman to
take Ihe second turn to the left, took
Itis flagship majestically down th»
harbor, until a collision with a care
lessly navigating eel stove in our
port bow. One of the crew, who
fortunately happened to be a plum
ber, managed to straighten out the
damage, and the armor was strength
cited with a coat of paint.
By this time we had advanced some
distance from home and night began
to fall, smashing in the upper dock.
Luckily two of the crew had been
paper hangers, aud alter a few hours'
work the dock was replaced with
brown paper, which was much
smoother and considerably stronger.
Two days later the Medjidie drift
ed upon Ihe tide at Oldhoss, greatly
lo the surprise of Tuff Pasha and the
Oldhoßßes, who promptly surrender
ed their arms on viewing the fierce,
warlike array of the battleship. This
in encouraged Tuff I hat he tried to
run out one of the guns and fire
a salute. All of the guns but one,

even the doubtful loyalty of men in
his own party will hardly shatfer it.
The fight against Cannon Is in a
sense personal, but the greater op
position ha 3 been aroused by the
rules which have permitted him to
become absolute master of the lower
house. The defeat of Cannon woula
riot change the rules, but, it is no;
going far to presume that the dis
approval of the people, thus openly
expressed, will be a pointed object
lesson to the next speaker that pres
ent conditions are altogether unac
ceptable. He would be a poor poll
tician who did not read the signs ot
the times in the fight against Can
non, and a move for substantia,
change in house procedure ivoula
hardly meet with defiant opposition.
As much vital importance attaches
to the fight against Cannon as to thu
national campaign. The absolutism
which surrounds the speaker, re
ducing the representative of Sov
ereign States to complete subserv
ience to one man, presents a situation
that, is entirely out of harmony with
every tenet of American republican
government. Exigencies of party dis
cipline cannot excuse rules that make
a man the tool of a few powerful
leaders, and compel him to coincide
in policies to which his conscience
und sense ot righ' cannot give total
adherence.
Absolute liberty of press and creed
has been and is still recognized as
the cornerstone of American liberty.
Liberty of legislators, permitting
them to exercise the best judgment
and foresight they possess and the
operation of rules contrary to this
view is wrong from every viewpoint.

all Its prominent citizens are dead.

for Greek text books, ritthough a
few of them were in the statuary
business and made sculptures which

noted for being able to talk Greek
and for being able to live on the is
land. They wear a sort of wilt,
which gives them a strong resemb

Tuff Pasha was disguted with tho
island and wanted to start at once
for Bulgaria, where there was more
chance to pick up a. bit of coin, bu;
his flagship had been spread out on
the hillside to dry, so he had to take
a trading steamer. The captain was
an Englishman, and, as he declare'',
a friend of liberty, rib he put Tuft
Pasha in irons, which appeared an
odd way of showing hls feelings
Later he discovered that Tuff was
only twenty-seven years old. and
therefore a Young Turk, so he re
leased the captive and landed us on
the west roast of Servla.
The country was boiling over with

but when some unpa'riotlc person

be better to leave the dispute to a
