MANY STATES ARE DOUBTFUL Good Crops are Due to the Weath- | er and not to Politics— Bryan is Hopeful of Election—Need a Change. In the following extracts we give a few points from some of Bryan's speeches during the past week “The advance agent of prosperity” is the title by which Wm. J. Bryan intro- duced himself in Illinois and Missouri the past week.

But in reading over the political forcasts of independent papers we find the general prediction that there is an unusual drift towards Bryan, New York state seems certain to elect a democratic Governor by an enormous majority, and for that reason Bryan is sure of carrying that state; a Indiana, lllinois, Con necticut and New Jersey never were as doubtful as this year. ‘I'hen comes good news from Wisconsin and other western states Lin OOK ree Desmocray does not be so Ohio, Local party dissensions in many along with the present distress ing panic and the support of the labor organizations are of reasons why Bryan's election seems hope ful, When hungry they Want states some the most idle they workmen wm a Change ia factories need it Sober's Latest Experiment The announcement that C, K for the benefit of himself and all interested, making a test much talked of Alaska wheat is one of the utmost importance to every farmer throughout this section.
