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.

ter, Adelaide. Sha
la fifteen years of
app, and had never
bad anything the
matter with her
ekin until four
months ago. when
an eruption broke
out on her chest.
The first symptom
was a redness, and thenfollowed thicken
ing and Winters, which would break and
run matter. I took her to a doctor,
and lie pronounced it to be eozema of a
very bad form. He treated her, but
instead of being checked, the disease
spread. It showed itself on her back,
and then quickly spread upwards until
the whole of her head was affected, and
all her hair had to txj cut off. The pain
she suffered was excruciating, and
what with that and the heat and Un
cling her life was almost unbearable.
Bhe became run down in health, and at
times was very feverish, languid, and
drowsy, and occasionally she was de
lirious. Her nerves were In such a low
state that she could not bear to be left
alone. In spite of the cold weather
she would lnsuit on having her bedroom
window open, and would lean out on
the window-sill. 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. It really seemed like magic.
Her hair Is coming on nicely, and I

find it increases the growth wonder

New York must be mere guesswork.
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.
