New York, Oct. 29. While there
is no one in position to say' definite

for Bryant it may be related with
considerable degree of certainty that
tbe Democratic candidate has made
remarkable progress here in the past
three days. The Republican man

forward every effort to corral the
votes that are getting away from
them and today's campaign is
marked by an Inspired betting in fa

supporters, who see through the
game.

it philosophically.

"Bet your life," replied the customer,
as his barber removed a hot towel from
his face and gave him a chance to talk.
"This bank failure Is making votes for
Brynn-every day In this-county." '
"Sure it Is." returned my barber. "I
had all my money In Scriber's bank.
