abuses under Republican rule, have de

they can get it" - . - . ,

A more improbable story . could not

be revealed to the people In most of Its
details, and would Rive the lie to the
whole program of reform of campaign
contributions which Mr. Bryan has led

Some idea of the intensity or tne
feeling against Hughes may be gath
ered from the fact that at a recent
race meeting y In this stale, after the
governor had spoken to the crowd from
the grandstand, the racing men refused
tn nrnreeri with the races until the cov
entor had left the grounds. This la
amDle. was the strangest futurity ever
run in the-history of the American
turf,' because it was run without a sin-
ale nublii warer on a ainale horse.
Governor Hughes, however, has boat
of staunch friends, who fear -tne aire
results of his possible defeat. Word
has gone forth from Sagamore Hill that
President Roosevelt will keep his hands
off the fight. Chairman Hitchcock, of
the national committee, however, has In
dicated a belief thatHughes should be
renominated, and Secretary Straus, New
York's , member of Roosevelt's cabinet,
has declared that Hughes should be re
turned. "The leaders are opposed to the re
nomination of the governor and believe
they can defeat him." says Mr. Straus.
"But if the people are for the governor,
the leaders, as tha people's servants,
must Interpret that sentiment in their
decisions. Twenty-flve- years' experi
ence in public life has convinced me
that the leader who does not reflect
the sentiment of his constituents is unwise."
Last week at Ithaca, Governor tiugnes
was given a veritaoie ovation, oe maun

his day there acquired the support of a

A hirdaeve .view or Jne situation
would lead to the prophecy that Gov
ernor Hughes IS to be renominated. His
measures, while oilteny onposea in
many quarters, are nevertheless, popu
lar. His sterling Integrity is so strong
ly apparent that it looks as though It
might be political suicide for the Re
publican party to neglect it. it tne con
trolling leaders of the state, however,

Senator Borah was sent on the sturop
by National Chairman Hitchcock, and
was assigned first to Maine, wherethe
state election occurs one week from to
day. It is the understanding that Sen
ator Borah will be kept speaking- until
the close of the camDaisn.
Senator Dixon believes that Taft and
Sherman will carrr the entire list of I
mountain states. He ventured tne rol-
lowlng prediction to The Journal:
"We shall elect the, presidential elec
tors in every state in the Kooky moun

either of them could be assailed by

that the people look on Mr. Bryan more

Against this position, a leading

ment this year will be that we hvl
had plethora of urging in late years I

At thla stage of the campaign, no
denial la made by the Republican lea it
ers that it Is "any man's fight," that
Bryan may be elected. The spirit of
unrest among the people is Keenly real
ized - here at both headquarters, and
there is no disposition to Jeer at. the
Nebraska candidate in personal con
versation. This Is the one marked
change apparent to the onlooker here, in
contradistinction to the situation - in
previous csmpairns, when there

On the other band, the Democrats
realise that they- are opposing a man
who has many elements of strength, and
especially that his campaign manager,
Frank W. Hitchcock, although a young
man. Is nevertheless one or tne aoiest
political generals who has ever ap
peared on the American arna.

ered his ultimatum and states that If
the aaloon and other resorts are not
.absolutely closed on Sunday In accord
ance with the state's statutes he will
call a special session of the legislature,
which,- he feels confident, will empower
him to snd the -state national guard
to this popular resort and put It dnder
martial law. The local saloon men and
resort keepers are Inclined to take the
matter lightly, manv claiming that It
Is out of the Jurisdiction of Governor
Fort to enreroe local lawa.
The contention of the local authori
ties Is that i per cent ef the fixed and
transient residents of this city do not
want a closed town. They claim It
would serlouslr interfere with business
and injure tne iworvt popularity.
The question involved is not so rnucn
whether the saloons shall be closed or
the city left, wide open, but rathr
whether local authorities can Interpret
the state laws to suit the majority in
any locality. Thla problem brings as
back to the fundamental idea of gov
