Show ANOTHER STRAW. THE popularity of the straw vote as an indicator of the direction in which the wind is blowing, grows greater as the campaign wears on. No association of moneyed men seems too proud to resort to tho ihumble straw vote to-ascertain the sentiment, nor is any body of laboring men too busy to tarry long enough to find out whether it is for Dods, Roosevelt or Wilson. Along come tho Heinz pickle folks, in semi-annual roundup at Chicago, and among tho fifty-seven varieties of candidates the traveling men find only one worth while. The vote showed G4 for Roosevelt, 27 for WilsnD and six for Taft. |
