the politicians of the country r

the campaign has virtually ew8e
Eneregles aro devoted to final per
fection of plans to "get out ptM

over, as the polltcal morecaaters fig
ure it, is tho "silent vote." Nerar
in the history of tho country & J
been more difficult to accnrxta$r
forecast the outcome of an atecrTw.

both sides, but have gono sileat&-
on their way. Tho politicians a&mSt:
they are at sea.
Tariff Greatest Factor
It is known there is a general rescu
ing of dissatisfaction over the tariff
law. How wUespread this feritec
Ib and how it will affect tho ontcumti
varies as one talks to tho managBW
of tho two old partlea. It is adap
ted that tho high cost of liviss m
a factor and that similar queatfewi
havo arisen, coupled with tho insur
gent movement nnd that these mat
ters will aggect the voto of both pacr
tles in certain sections.
It is the first time, tho polltlsla
say, for many years when an elect Uwt
has como up with entirely now is
sues before the people nnd with bs
feeling of unrest which, In 1890, was
called tho "democratic feeling."
"Silent Vote"
Slnco 1904, when the country wss
swept by tho Roosevelt landslide,
and congress was overwhelmlagiy"
placed in tho hands of the repa&St
can party, tho Independent voter has
been nn Increasingly 'largo paia3
to tho forecaster. In the electfiaK
of 1906 tho Independents upset wea
mado calculations In many state,
where the machines of tho old rrr
tles were supposed to be well oCte
and running smoothly. Tho condi
tions which two years later made it
possible for Taft to carry states la
