The truth about Bryan's chances ls that the most trustworthy , political opinion confesses they are tar -better than they were in 1886 and 1900. There are a few close observers of ac tus) conditions who do not place the entire Ponth. with the new State of Oklahoma. In the Bryan column. They concede that until the Republican party can prove to the contrary at the pons Bryan ought to e credited with west Virginia. Maryland and Dela ware, as well as the habitually Demo cratic States of the Solid South. This wcujd mean 176 votes In the electoral college, with 242 necessary to a choice. Then everybody who knows anything at all about tho country beyond the Mississippi river knows that the far West Is radical to a degree that may be called rabid. Mr. Bryan rep resents, and will represent In the minds of the voters of that territory, the next best exponent of the radical ism up to which President IVonsevelt has educated them. These voters be lieve thoroughly In everything which Mr. Koosevclt has done, and they wanted him for a third term, because they believe that he -would lo more Along radical lines. They -will incline to the candidate, who looks to them I like the man to go on to hotter radl- I calism. TO I'ISII STAXr.RD CASK.
