AN IMPOSSIBLE EVENT
Washington, Oct. 21. Senator Dix
on of Montana, conferred with Roose

tial fight Is now centered in Ohio, In
diana and New York. He said:
"It Is, absurd to think that Bryan
can carry Wyoming and Utali. Bryan
will carry but few states west of the
Mississippi. I believe Taft will carry
New York by 100,000, and Minnesota
from 80,000 to 120,000."
