wound up hie presidential campaign, so
'far as practical results are concerned,
with two enormous meetings hers to
night which tested the fountain of
strenuousneas which he had tapped
earlier In the daJ It Is true that he
w41 make two addresses on Monday,
, one at, Clleveland. the other at Younss
town, Ohio, but hs attaches little Itti-
Sortance to these, as he believes, as
oes everyone else, that.lt la literally
; Over bow, as far as making .votes for
either side la concerned.
Despite the strain he has been under,
and me closeness with which he has
' approached a physical, breakdown, the
, Dlr candidate was In fine form laAav
and showed It in both v,oice and spirit
His mind, heretofore held down to
the task of driving; home a few primary
political ' attacks, found relief in more
diversity of expressing epigrammatic
phrases and Taftisms than he has em
ployed in most of his speeches.
Toijlght he expressed himself as con
fident of Ms election, as quoted above.

Woodstock plant, , and that monthly
water rates would be forthwith raised
from $1.60 to S3.
iur. Fleck last night said that this
report Is untrue in two important .re
spects. - In the first place hs has only
leased the plant, and in the second place
the rates will hot be increased. , - He
said that hs and Mr. Morris havs put

Just ready for the struggle.
, "Mr. Bryan has always won In Aug
ust and September. It Is characteris
tic of Mr. , Bryan's methods of. cam-
; , palgnlng. It grows out of the. char
acter of policies, he ..advocates. They
1-f.are -alwava plausible; they are always
useful for the first two months of their
vse of the stump; and then the' power
of logical analysis that the American
voters bring to bear, In the long edu
cational campaigns that precede a presi
dential election, scatters his policies to
the winds. It does not happen by ac
cident. It happens because of the char
acter of the men and the character of
the principles advocated by the Demo
cratic party."
Vays Bryan Could Do Karm.
During tie same speech Taft dwelt
at some length on the fact that there
Is a disposition In certain quarters to
vote- for Bryan, because' be - can do no
harm with the. Republican senate to
hold htm down." . ' ,
This, he argued,, was a grave error,
for If he became president it would

standard completely, If a financial
emergency arose, and place the business
