BALTIMORE, Cct.

3. The coming out of prominent Democrats for Taft, the apathy of many Democratic politicians and the registration figures all indicate that Maryland will again roil up a substantial majority against Bryan. a it did in his previous campaigns. While the Republican leaders are confident of carrying the State for Taft and electing at least three of 'the six Congressmen, those in the counties in which the ini-quitous Democratic Wilson election law is in operation fear they will be more or less handicapped. Kvery precaution is being taken, however, to overcome the Democratic tricks.

The counties that suffer under the law are Anne Arundel. Calvert, St. Mary's, Charles, and Prince George's, in Southern Maryland, all in Congressman Mudd's district, and Kent, Queen Anne, Dorchester, Worcester and Somerset, on the Lastern Shore, in Congressman Jackson's rjistrict. Since the last election two counties, Queen Anne and Dorchester, have baen added to the list of Wilson counties. Derlston Hampers Democrats The Democratic politicians in these counties will be considerably hampered in their designs by tho decision of Attorney General Straus that only two marks are necessary to vote the ticket, one for the voter's choice for President, and one for his choice for Congress.

There has been some talk among the Democratic politicians in the Wilson counties of ignoring this decision, claiming that it is pro forma and not binding. The Attorney General says it has all the effect of law until it is reversed by the courts. Four years ago there was a great commotion among the Democrats on the Eastern Shore and in Southern Maryland when the then Attorney General W. S. Brvan decided that only two marks on the ballot were necessary.

It was claimed at the time that his opinion was not in accordance with the law, and there were threats of having it tested in the courts, but no move in this direction was made, nor was an effort made at either of the two sessions of the General Assembly, since held, to amend the law so as to nullify Mr. Bryan's view. It is apparent why no such amendment was attempted. If the voter were called upon to mark the ballot to express his preferences for candidates, if the law had been amended, he would have been called upon to place his mark after eleven names, those of a candidate for President, for Vice President, for eight electors and a candidate for Congress, if he desired to vote for the candidates of one party. Such a plan would not suit the fancy of Democrats of Baltimore and of the central counties.

May Bevlse Iazzllngr Ballot Still, with only two marks on the ballot necessary to vote for all the candidates of one party, it is possible for the Democratic members of the Boards of Election Supervisors in the Wilson counties to devise a sheet that will puzzle unsuspecting and illiterate voters. Con gressman Mudd recognizes the possibili ties of ballot complications, and will take no chances. The names of the Democratic candidates for President.

It is not believed, however, i hat the German scientist has modified his vie.es on this question, but that, rather than provoke anew the he declined to openly commit him- The action of the congress on this noteworthy issue, it is thought, will for the rime being, put a quietus to further agitation, at least until the next meeting of the congress in Rome in 1011. This scientific battle has been waged with great vigor ever since Dr. Koch advanced his doctrine at the London Congress on Tuberculosis in .1001.

At each of these places the audiences numbered many thousands and in Garden City, Dodge City, Kinsley, Pta body, Florence, Strong City and Osaga City the crowds were correspondingly large.

In the fourteen speeches delivered dur inging the day and evening by Mr. Talt, he not only talked in detail of the tarift and trusts and labor, but furnished Kansas farmers an itemized account of tha increased profits they made in the last, year because of the operation of th principle of the protection, as he put it, over whrtl they made under the Democratic enforcement of free trade. This was the novel feature of his speeches in Kansas over what he has been saying in the other States on the trip. A bit of Kansas humor was injected into the early hours of the candidate when Ira was awakened to answer this telegram, which he did in the affirmative: "Syracuse, Kansas: "Personal to William H.

HUGHES Campaign, Slow in Starting, Is Marked by Scarcity of Funds in Both Parties Special to The Inquirer. NEW YORK, Oct.

3. According to the deductions of the political expert of tJfo Herald, after a preliminary canvass of the entire State, William 11. Taft, judged by all surface indications at present, holds New York State, while the chances of the Democratic nominee for Governor Chanlcr seem, superior to those of Hughes However, many political observers declare the full strength of the opposition to the present Governor is now at flood tide, and is likely to recede during the coming month. There are not likely to be any heavy pluralities either way. The most sanguine Repnibltcans do not expect Mr.

Taft to carry tho State by more than 50,000. Where a plurality is claimed for Mr. Hughes, the figures are placed very low. Tho Democrats hope to elect Mr. Chanler by 50,000, and some of them figure out a small plurality for Mr.

Bryan. So far as the national ticket is concerned, there is no evidence of popular resentment at the steam roller methods by w-hich Mr. Taft's nomination was secured. Mr. Roosevelt's interest in Taft's success and hisr aggressive championship of tho Republican candidate have offended many, but have also brought Mr.

Taft some support. The panic has hurt the Republicans with the workingmen and with retail business men. On the other hand, the general fear that Mr. Bryan's election might precipitate another crisis or delay the return of prosperity will give Mr. Taft many votes.

There is a marked tendency on the part of Gold Democrats and Cleveland Democrats, who have been wandering in the wilderness since 1S06, return to the fold. Thi3 is especially true of men who were- active- in politics. They see that with the LTnitcd States Senate strongly Republican for some years to come, it will be impossible for Mr. Bryan to get any of his more radical ideas enacted into law. They are tired of being political nondescripts and are anxious to figure again in the councils of the party.

Bryan Below ''The According to the estimates obtained from the leaders on both sides, Bryan will go to the northern city line that intangible quantity known to up State politicians as "the Bridge" with largely increased majorities over those Ire had eight years ago. From Republican sources, the figure conceded, exclusive of Queens county, where no estimate was made by members of the dominant party, give the Democratic nominee 32,500, and Chanler 54,400, while the Democrats figured that Brvan would have in this territory 89,500 and Chanler 119,000. The latter fhmres include Queens. In the same counties in 100O, Bryan won by 31,473. There seems to be little doubt in the minds of any political leaders that Mr.

Taft will run ahead of Governor Hughes and that Mr. Chanler will run well ahead of Mr. Bryan. Leaders of both parties say they will carry Brooklyn both for Governor and the head of the ticket. Bright for Taft "Up State" Fears that Bryan's election would mean the abolishment of the tariff on wood pulp, is holding the paper mill owners of the northern tier in line for Taft.

So far as they are able they will see to it that their employes vote the Republican ticket, but in some of the counties, noticeably Jefferson, there is an apparent disposition of the mill workers to cast their ballots for Bryan. Majorities as large as Roosevelt's and even larger are claimed by the Republicans for the head of the ticket. The vote for Hughes is generally set by the Republicans somewhat below that expected for Taft, but the reports are favorable for the Governor, with the excep- Continued on 6th Page, 6th Column HELEN GOULD THE OBJECT OF LUNATIC'S AFFECTION Inventor of Corn-Preventing Stockings and Shoes Thought She Must Fall in Love at Once NIAGARA FALLS, N.

he fifth annual race meeting of the Whiteinarsh Vallev Hunt- Club was held this afternoon at the Erdenhcini Farm, mile track, near Chestnut Hill. Ihe attendance was fair and the racing lirst-clasa for the calibre of the horses competing. There were several falls and mishaps in the steeplechase and one in tho races, the lattei bein? of a serious nature. In the fifth race, at one mile on the flat, Harold with L. Miles tip, collided with the inside fence.

In falling Miles was thrown against the fence, crushing in the side of his face badly and injuring him internally. He was carried from the grounds unconscious and sent to the Chestnut Hill Hospital. Harold A. ran away, jumped into a cornfield and had a half hour's run before he was captured. The horse escaped injury.

Charles M. B. Cadwallader took a header from Justice at the second jump in the White marsh Valley Hunt Cup cross-country steeplechase. He hit the ground hard, but escaped with a severe shaking up. Justice ran half of the distance, two and three-quarter miles, with the other contestants before being taught.

The sport began with a race for farmers' horses under the conditions that they had done regular farm work during the past season and weighed in at 1050 pounds or over. A purse of $35, divided $20, $10 and $5, was hung up for the first three finishing in the race, with a blanket to all that started. Sixteen horses started, and Alfred Ward, with Teddy, a 1200-pound chestnut with a blase face, led the bunch from start to finish. The judges have not yet decided on the other two money winners. The racing began with 3-year-olds and upward in a 1-o-mile dash on the fiat.

High Flyer, who looked to be a dangerous factor in the race, ran off the course, after keeping close to the leaders for three-quarters of a mile, and the other starter, Flossie was never in the running. No Fool in winning only beat Brunette in ai drive to the wire under the whip.

The mile on the flat race was hotly contested, the horses going bunched for six furlongs, when Randolph's Black Oak showed the best stamina, and was sent to the front, winning in a close finish from Grand Vidette, the favorite.
