esting Exhibit
- It will be interesting to compare
the popultr vote for President in
the three campaigns in which Wm.
J- Bryan was a candidate with the
vote recorded on November 6 for
Woodrow Wilson.
In order that our readers may
have tbe data for comparison we
herewith reproduce some statistics
published in an editorial In the Cln
cinatl Enquirer.
, It seems quite evident from the
returns upon the popular vote) al

popular vote will, not reach the
total of the popular vote given to
Mr: Bryan id 1896 or 1900 or in
1908, and yet how different the re
sult in the Electoral College of the
States.
It wllli be a most interesting ex
hibit of voting results in the elec
tion of our President if that should
be the cate, and in order that the
readers may have the data of the
pf pulur otcs In the former elec
tions before them for comparison
with the nstlt cf the cue just
passed, we puhlith the Et:tlitics of
the years named above.
In 1S96 B.yau received a total
vote of 6,502,925. l. 1900 his vote
was 6,353,133, while 1u 1908 it to
taled 6,409,104.
In the ggreat State of New York,
with every county reported unoffi
cially, Kr. Wilson's vote 1b glen as
647,994, while Mr. Bryan received
in that State in 1900, 678,386. a id
in 1908 0:7468 votes, as stated offl-
dallvT - -'- - :., v. I
me popular vote in Maryland, as
published, gives Mr. Wilson a total
of 112,122, while Bryan received in
1900, 122,271, and in 1908, 115,
908. The vote in Delaware, given to Mr
Wilson is unofficially stated at
20,431, while Bryan, in 1908 was
credited with 22,071-
The popular vote returns in the
other States will be watched for
with great interest by the voters
of the country, and if they continue
tc run in the same general trend,
the query will come to the minds of
many, what States, if any, would
have been left for either National
Progressives or Republicans if the
gentieman frcm Nebraska should
have been the candidate this year?

Little Lacie Robbins, the ten-year-old
son of B. O. Robbins, 'was
shot and perhaps fatally injured at
Lexington Saturday afternoon by
Clyde Pickett. The shooting oc
curred at O. P. Pickett's store In
west Lexington. Young Pickett
was trying to sell a pistol to a cus
tomer when the customer auggester
that he see If it would shoot
through the floor. The clerk shot
nd the Robbins child with two or
three other children, ran under the
store to see where the bullet came
through. , All came out but the RobV

and young Pickett fired again, the
bullet striking the child in the
right shoulder, and passing through
his left lung. No hope for his re

As a prophet and a the dean of
journalism of this country Henry
Watteraon published la the Loais
ville Courier-Journal thla thought-1
ful and interesting editorial under
tbe caption, "The Newt; Dispensa
tion." It la worth careful perusal.
He says:
"HiBtory tells that after Bull Run
the victory demoralised the Con

feat had demoralized the Federals.
In the long run, however, it wag

Woodrow Wilson ,s a better and
more highly equipped inucn dct
ter qualified to make a really great
Democratic President than was
Grover Cleveland. But the obstacles
which Cleveland had to meet and
overcome were foothills by compar
ison with the mountains already ris
ing across the highway that stretch
es out before Wilson.
Within Mr. Clevelrnd's reach, if
he had known how to profit by
them, were men of the first order
of Intellect; men trained to the
responsibilities of government. Mr.
