PAGKBEL DAILY EAST OREGONIAN, PENDLETON. OREGON, FRIDAY, AUGUST 11, IKS. EIGHT PAGES. A GUNCE IT It INDEPENDENT VOTE New Tork, Aug. II. Although) strength of the Independence party In both of the grtft parties, as usual, claim the Empir? state as their own, the political situation here presents a more complex situation than usual. That the electoral vote of New York w ill go war toward deciding the next occupant of the White House is admitted. To a greater degree than ever before, the minor parties enter Into the problem. Of the. five minor parties having presidential candidates in the field, three are almost negligible quantities In the Empire state. The populists have practically no following at all and the prohlbitloniss, while certain of a larger vote than four years ago, will not cut much frozen water In the final result The socialist labor party Is almost moribund, despite the efforts of Daniel De Leon to keep the organization alive. There remains the Independence party and the socialists, and it Is these two organizations that are keep lng the democratic and republican campaign managers awake o'nlghts. The followers of the red flag, whose campaign continues without inter mission from year to year, are plan ning to redouble their efforts within the next few months. Several great mass meetings have already been arranged for and Eu gene V. Debs, the presidential candi date, will likely deliver many speeches hree in an effort to increase the so cialist vote. An English socialist daily paper has been established and has attained a considerable circulation. Debs' Vote In 1804. In 1904 Mr. Debs received 36.000 votes In New Tork state, and the es timates of party leaders for this year range from 75.000 to 100.000. While these figures may not be reached, it Is a certainty that tie socialist vote will show a great gain. Whether this Increase will come very largely from the republican or democratic ranks, or whether the loss will be about equally divided between the old parties, is a mooted ques tion. The nature of the socialist prop aganda, however, Is such that the re publicans are likely to be the greater losers by reason of the defection of socialism. While accurate figures are lacking, most socialist "evangelists" admit that their argument more often appeals to former republicans than to the more Individualistic democrats. The Hearst Independence party, however, will recruit Its voters large ly from the ranks of the democratic party, and the success of the Hearst men may Involve the loss of New Tork to Bryan, while a small Inde pendence party vote would mean brighter prospects of success for the Nebraskan.

She did not have a proper hour's sleep for many nights; The second doctor we tried afforded her just as little relief as the first, and I really do not know what we should have done it we had not read how Cuticura cured a similar case, I pur chased C'uticura Soap, Cuticura Oint-. tnent, and Cuticura Pills, and before the Ointment was three-quarters finished every trace of the disease was gone.

Signs are not lacking that the popu larity of Hearst among New Torkers is rapidly on the wane, but New York voters are notoriously fickle In their political allegiance, and there Is yet plenty of time for the tide to turn Heurstward. The first appearance of this party as a state organization was in th campaign of 1906. In 1905 Hearst, the founder, promoter and financier of the league, polled, as Its candidate for mayor In New York city, 224,929 votes. This, of course, did not rep resent the strength of the party. On the other hand, when In 1906 the league fused with the democratic party, with Hearst as its gubernatori al candidate, the 17, 837 votes which were all that were polled for him un der the league's emblem were Just as far from being a measure of the par ty strngth. Coming down to last year it Is pos sible to find a measure that Is rather more satisfactory. As the candidates of the league, John T. McDonough and Reuben R. Lyon, running for the court of appeals against E. T. and Wlllard Bartlett, nominated for re election by both the republican and democratic parties, polled respective- J ly 121,304 and 114.209 votes through-j out the state. ! Eliminating McDonough, who re- I celved a considerable number or re publican votes on account of his for-. mer standing in that party, the 114, 209 votes of Lyon may serve as a fair basis for calculation. Big Independent Vote. On the basis of the Lyon vote, mem bers of the independence party are claiming today as many as 250.000 votes in the state. Some of their more moderate adherents are contented with claiming 150.000. Woodruff and Ward are using It as an argument to convince their follow, ers and the president that at any rate the Independence vote will be so large that it will draw enough votes from the democratic candidate to elect any good man the republicans may nomi nate. Thus, the question of the size of th independence vote is already playing an important part In this year's pre. limlnary canvass. Experience, however has shown thai many men who will vote for a third party candidate In an off year, will return to their old party allegiance In a ' presidential year. Whether this will hold true as regards the Inde pendence party is the question. On it depends the fate of that organlza, Hon. If it can hold or Increase lt.s vote over that cast for Lyon a year ago, It will be considered a proof thai it:: foundations are more firmly estab lished than has generally been suppos ed. Nevertheless, even should the hopes of the Hearst .leaders be disappointed, it is conceivable that the result this year In New York will be so close as to turn on the Independence party vote. There have been times within the recollection of very young voters when a total poll of 50,000 votes for a third ticket would have decided an election. THREE MAGAZINES FREE YOUR LAST OPPORTUNITY.
