(Uy Arthur U. Krock, Correspondent
Louisville. Courier-Journal.)
Columbus. Ohio. Oct. St. During
the month that ha elapsed .since my
last visit to Ohio, the situation, from
a democratic standpoint, lias not
I manned All unprejudiced and well-
Informed men here bring out the Ohio
LIuo Hook to prove conclusively that
Woodrow Wilson will secure the 24
electoral votes or President Taft's
own state.
In this hook are presented unan
swerable figures to show that, if Wil
son holds the t yan vote of 1908, he
will sweep Ohio, Uie size of his plu
rality depending merely on whether
the republican come out and vote,
and if they do coino Out how closely
they split their support between Taft
and the third-term aspirant. The
democratic nominee may have 100,
000 plurality, hc nay liave 200-.000,
he may hay -almost anything higher
or lower. ' nut that he will have a
plurality Is generally conceded in Ohio
today by all who have knowledge or
the facts. This means that the Buck
ee state, the stronghold of republic
anism, the mother of nresldont t.
not even In the doubtful class this i
year.
In the repubican primaries before
the Chicago convention there was a
great stay-at-home vote. These re
publicans were disgusted with both
Taft and with Roosevelt. Now. the
effort of the republican managers is
to get out these voters to the end that
the president may run second in his
own state. They do not want the re
publican organization swallowed up
by the bull mooser. as it probably
would he If Itoosevelt were to get
more votes in Ohio than Presidenl
Taft. The republican stay-at-home
vote is what tho Tan t .ui..

year. As for the Itoosevelt followers I
they are enthusiastic here as else
where; they will come out anyway,
blizzards will not keep a thousand of
them at home. They may have to
come on crutches and in carryalls, but
they will come It Li easv to under
stand why there i no such enthusiasm !
..... iau ttuu ins native state.
There will probably he 1.200.000
votes east in Ohio this year (the Taft
men hope so .aftd.J,M democrats be
lieve so). Itfynn polled 502,000 In
1908, and Taft 672.000, a majority of
70.000. If Wilson can poll 500,000
Nties mis year ana yiere are no
surface reasons why he cannot that
will leave 700.000 to be divided am
ong four other candidates Taft,
Roosevelt. Debs and Chafin. The
probabilities are that Taft and Roose
elt will run reasonably close and will
poll about 600,000 votes between
them. Of this number neither will
have 500.000. which, according to all
indications, will be the minimum of
the democratic strength.
Tim straw ballots have shown that
Debs -.vlll have more votes in Ohio
than ever before, perhaps 60,000 In
all. That accounts for all but 40,000
of which the prohibitionists will get
about 13.000. All of this goes to
show that the democrats need only
get out their vote of 1908 in ord-'r
to carry the state and probabilities
Mie that they will get a considerably
luwr vole than they did four years
The Harmon partisans as well a
the Harmon opponents are solidly be

Harmon himself has dropped all bit

The anti-Harmon men fathered the
Wilson boom here and ; are vleing

addition to this there are thousands
of republican who are going to vote
for Wilson, which seems likely to
swell his vote above that which Rry

GOOD EVENTS
ARE PROMISED
Two top notch athletic cards, one
in wrestling and the other in boxing,
are In store for local sport fans if
everything turns out as anticipated
and Indications are that nothing but
an unforeseen element will Interfere.
The wrestling bout as planned will be
between Eddie OConnell, wrestling
Instructor of the Multnomah A. A. C.
of Portland, and Jack Kennedy, the
Iiermiston mat man who was form
erly with the Chicago Y. M. C. A. The
boxing bout being prepared Is to be
between Fred Sax of this city nnd
Jack Carpenter, the Roise phenom.
Dudley Evans, manager of the P.
A. A. C, is engineering the two
bouts and feels safe In assuring the
sport lovers that they will material
ize. He plans to stuge the Sax-Carpenter
go at the Oregon theater on
election night and is making arrange
ments to secure returns from the na
tion in order that the audience may
not only be treated to a fast boxing
bout but can sit in comfort and watch
the outcome of the election.
Sax. until he entered the profes
sional classes, was the amateur
champion of the Pacific coast nt his
weight and Is reputed to be one of
the scrappiest men in the business
Carpenter is one of the leading ex
ponents of the manly art In the north
west and lately has been cleaning up
everything in the neighborhood nf
Roise. A match between these two
would unuestlonnbly be a drawing
card.
A wrestling bout between O'Connel!
and Kennedy would be Immensely
popular here. The two grapplers have
met twice at Iiermiston, the Portland
man failing to throw the project ath
lete on the first occasion but win
ning the latter after Kennedy had
wrenched his arm so painfully that

the Chinaman, appeared while the

Judge, therefore, acting under the as
sumption that the Jap was the more
guilty of the two, declared his bail for

the other. Four drunks were regis

Jail and the fourth buying his way
to freedom. Charles O'Brien, under
the misconceived notion that a depot
was a public place, cursed his name

be agent at the depot, and refused to
leave the building which he found a
comfortable place to lounge. He was
