MACK SEES VICTORY
DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CHAIR
MAN DECLARES THAT BRYAN
WILL CARRY EAST AND
WEST.
REPORTS SHOW RISING TIDE
Great States of Ohio, Indiana and
New Yark Safely In tlie Demo
cratic Column.
Norman K. Mack, chairman of tho
Democratic national committee, Is
confident of tho election of Mr. Bryan
as president. In a statement Ruminjiig
up tho situation he said:
"Three weeks ago It was apparent
that the title had turned toward De
mocracy, and that every outward evi
dence pointed to a Democratic victory
In November. Tho situation is far bet
ter now than then, and I am confident
m tho belief that Mr. Bryan will bo
elected president. In fact, tho cam
paign, from tho Democratic viewpoint,
has steadily Improved with each suc
ceeding week. As Mr. Bryan has pre
seated the issuos In various sections
of tho country, the peoplo have be
como more and more convinced, that
his election Is for tho permanent pros
perity and host Interests of the na
tion. "Of tho many ronorts I havo re
ceived from the various states there
.has not been one discouraging to our
.cause. On tho other hand, nil of our
information has Indicated that there
will bo a roniarkahlo doci'easo in tho
Republican voto. and this statement
"applies alike to tho banner Republi
can state of Pennsylvania as well as
,to states like New York, Ohio and
Indiana. Mr. Hryan will not only ro
.eelve tho majority of thp electoral
vote, but ono of the greatest popular
votes ever given a candidate.
' Says Fight Is Won.
"The fight Is won, but wo must keep
everlastingly at It for tho remaining
two weeks of tho campaign. Our re
ports have been of such an encourag
ing nature- that I have at times had
fears lest some of thoso on duty
would, In their enthusiasm, let up In
tho light, and my parting word to
thoso at headquarters Is that they
continue their efforts Just as aggres
sively as If tho contest had to be won
In tho declining days of the cam
paign. "The Democratic party has a greater
membership than the Republican party.
Tho only question with ns In recent
years has been to get our folks to
gether In harmonious and united pha
lanx. I do uot believe there Is a Dem
ocrat In tho entire country who Is out
side of the breastworks In this cam
paign, nnd that Is the greatest reason
to my mind why Mr. Hryan will bo
inaugurated president on March 4 next.
I will not attempt to glvo JIruics, but I
will say now that Now York, Ohio, and
Indiana aro Democratic this year, and
my prediction does not tako Into con
sideration a number of other slates
that will swing from the Republican
to the Democratic column on election
day."
STRAUS GIVES REASONS
The New York Merchant and Philan
thropist Declares Election of Bryan
fcans Business Prosperity.
Nathan Straus, tho great. New York
merchant and philanthropist, in an
nouncing his leasous for supporting
Mr. Hryan, said:
"I feel cure that he will be elected,
and I say, as a business man, one who
Is as much interested perhaps as any
In the general prosperity of the coun
try, as one who Is bound to feel per
sonally any lack of prosperity among
the masses, that I believe his election
will be a benefit to all the country,
and to all of the people. Those that
talk otherwise, those that predict
panic and disaster, as the result of the
election of an honest man, chosen by
an honest majority of the people, are
narrow-minded and short-sighted, or
pretend to believa that which they
know Is not true, or they are seeking
to obscure the raal and vital Issues of
tha campaign. Mr. Bryan will make, a
safe, reliable, conscientious president,
a president for all of the people, the
rich and the poor, the big man and
the little. He will represent the
American people, not any class, and
for that reason I shall work for him
until election and vote for him on
election day."
THE GREAT EXPLAINER.
Hero Is a copy of a poster, headed
"Laboring Men Attention!" which
has been circulated In advance of
Judge Taft's appearanco In a numbor
ot cities:
Come and hear
HON. WILLIAM H. TAFT
Republican candidate for ProBldont
HE WILL EXPLAIN
how ho secured his appointment
as United States Judge through
the lnfluenco of Senator For
aker. tho attorney ot tho Stand
ard Oil Company.
HE WILL EXPLAIN
why, as United States Judge, he
put railroad men and mechanics
In Jail by means of his INJUNC
TION process.
HE WILL EXPLAIN
why he is opposed to giving the
laboring man a trial by a Jury.
HE WILL EXPLAIN
to you why tho capitalistic class
and tho tnu s and tho syndl
" cates of Wall stroot aro support
ing htm, whllo the laboring men
are opposed to him, almost to a
man.
By Ordor of tho Committee.
Of Course .He Favors Taft,
Henry Clews, tho Wall stroot pub
licity agent, has taken tho stump for
Taft. This typical representative of
Wall street dcclnros that Bryan Is nn
safo and that Judge Taft will make nn
Ideal president. A fe-w days ago ho ad
dicssfd a big crowd of eastern bank
era and, of course, opposed tho guar
anty of bank depcaUa. Mr. Clews doi
dared that tho guaranty bank plank,
la "soclnl'r.tlc In J'u tendency and a
far cry from trno democratic: princi
ples, which oppdso oxces3lvo centrali
zation ot power,"
p3SscxssijKK&t
SPECIAL INTERESTS VERSUS
EQUAL RIQHT8.
In every utterance and every
statement made so far Mr. Taft
has shown great concern for tho
welfare of the TRUSTS and 8PE
CIAL INTERE3TS.
He Is afraid that the guaranty
of bank deposits will be a burden
on n few big bankers. That thou
sands of email depositors may lose
everything dees not worry him.
He Is afraid that a reduction of
the tariff may hurt protected In
dustries. He does not worry for
the consumer, who bears the bur
den of the heavy tax.
He Is afraid to oppose tho
TRUSTS, for ho considers them
a benefit. Ho docs not mind the
extortion they practice upon the
Ml M!
, l u .
Ho Is opposed to a Jury trial in
contempt and Injunction cases be
cause the SPECIAL INTERESTS
want the unfair Injunction process
continued. The "Father of the
Injunction" does not worry be
cause the laborer may not get a
square deal.
The Republican candidate be
lleves In an Income tax only when
the present oppressive means of
taxation fall to furnish enough
revenue. In other words, he be
lieves that the wealthy should not
be taxed until the resources of the
masses are exhausted. Not a word
from Mr. Taft because the masses
bear an unjust share of the bur
den of taxation.
Mr. Taft stands for the favored
FEW and SPECIAL INTERESTS.
Mr. Bryan stands for the PEO
PLE as opposed to the INTER
ESTS. ,
Mr. Taft stands for PLUTOC
RACY as opposed to DEMOC
RACY. Mr. Bryan stands for EQUAL
RIGHTS as opposed to SPECIAL
PRIVILEGES.
WITH WHICH DO YOU
STAND?
WORKINGMEN NOT ALARMEE
Tactics of the Sharpies Separator Com
pany Fall A Republican Bluff
Called by President Maroh.
Tho efforts made by certain cm
ployers to Intlmldato their employei
to vole for Mr. Taft aro not suceed
ing in the way the Republicans do
sire. Somu time ago tho Sharploi
Separator Company, an eastern con
cem, In a desperato attempt to forc
Its workmen to voto tho Republican
ticket, threatened them with tlio Iobs
of employment by closing down It!
shops in tho event of Mr. Bryan's elec
tion. The threat was merely n blnfl
on tho part of tho company to aid the
trust ticket and has been called by
Mr. W. W. Marsh, president of thf
Iowa Dairy Separator Company, ol
Waterloo, Iowa. Mr. Marsh believes
that Instead of business depression
following the election of Mr. Hryan,
there will bo business prosperity,
Should tho Sharpies Company close
Its uhops following Mr. Bryan's elec
tion, and thus throw Its employes out
of work, ho promises to give every
man who loses his Job with tho
Sharpies Company employment nt his
own plant. In this connection ho has
nddrcsaed tho following letter to
Chairman Mack of tho Democratic na
tional committee:
Waterloo, lown, Oct. 11, 1008.
Norman B. Mack, Chairman,
Democratic National Committee,
Chicago, 111.
Dear Sir:
I have soon' the throat of tho
Sharpies Separator Company to close
down their shops In tho ovent of Mr.
Bryan's oloctlon. We, as tho largest
manufacturers of cream separators In
the United Statos, will ngreo, In the
event of tho election of Mr. Bryan and
tho throat of tho Sharpies Company
being put into effect, to take the men
Into our employ. In view of tho fact
that 'tho finished product of tho steel
trust Is tho raw material ot a separa
tor factory, and under the present
tariff the steel trust Is permitted to
charge us 60 per cent more, and does
charge .us 60 per cent, more than wo
could purchase ln-the world's market,
the' Sharpies Company must be talk
ing as shareholders in tho United
States Steel corporation rather than as
soparator manufacturers.
(Signed)

A University In Politics.
JosophUB Daniels, chairman of tho
Democratic speakers bureau, com
mented as follows on tho appearance
of Prof. J. Laurence Lauehlln of tho
University of Chicago as a stump '
speaker attacking tho guaranty of
bank doposlts:
"It is not surprising," said ho, "to
see a professor of tho University ot
Chicago on tho stump opposing a
measuro bo benoflclal to tho poor man
as tho guaranty of bank deposits. John
D. Rockettllsr and tho other Standard
,011 manufacturers can not be expect
ed to favor Mr. Bryan's plans.
"Doubtless Mr. Rockefeller has com
municated to tho university which bis
money supports and has Indicated that
ho would bo gratified, to havo tho uni
versity do effective work for the can
dldato he favors In this campaign."
The Cry of Politicians.
Tho best sorvico that can bo ren
dered for permanent prosperity is to
rebuke tho assumption which certain
politicians continually aro seeking to
create In the public mind, that con
tinued prosperity doponds on tho suc
cess of a particular political party.
Our form-of government contem
plates changes from tlmo to time, and
nothing Is so disastrous as to Instill
in tho people's minds tho bcllof that
there Is danger to business In chang
ing a portion ot tho officers of our gov
ernment. it tho people cannot chango their
ofllcers without creating a panic, thon
tho logical step Is to go to a mon
archy, which, of course, nono advocates,
