tho the batlo battle bat- bat tic tle lo is to be lost or won Tho The Republicans in tho the West are aren In n good shape to meet tho the onslaughts of the tho Br Bryan an forces an and fully Cully prepared to carry tho fight to tho the other fellow until tho the last ballot Is cast Tho The trainIng trainIng training train- train Ing of twelve years cars has put the party part in the pink of condition particularly In the West Vest where new regions have been opened up and made mado wonderfully productive under the policies of or three successive administrations of or Republican can rulers National Chairman Hitchcock met Republican national committeemen committeeman ami ite chairmen west an men from states v L u l'- l' i Ud at that mee meeting ng ho he Jal laid lala tr t ss s u upon on th the things that were expected of the tho West Vest An AnIt And It will be gratifying to the national committee us ua well as to tho the nation nallon at large largo to see tho the western states slates rise to the occasion with with overwhelming majorities for tho the Republican ticket Republican strength has not been on the wane wano in the tho West Vest cst In fact the party has grown in favor an and with the constant stream of now new residents the tho west is growing more and more mOlO solid for tor the Republican party all aU the tho time lime This is no Idle claim In favor favoro o of tho the dominant party parl but It is based upon facts In 1900 Bryan Dryan carried four fOUl out of or thirteen of or the states west of ot tho the Missouri river He carried Idaho by 2 2216 16 Nevada b by about tho the same number Colorado by 2000 and Montana by I I I i Four years ears later a Q different stor story was written Idaho wont went Republican by Instead of Democratic lc b by 2000 Neva Nevada Ne a went Republican n by about the tho same samo plurality given glen the theD D Democrats four years yearn before Montana gained votes for tor the Republicans cans cants and rolled lolled up plurality even Colora Colorado o went Republican b by 34 whereas votes had been stacked against the tho Republican party four years before The Democratic principles the tho same samo In 1904 as they were wore In 1900 al although although although al- al though they ha had a new standard bearer bear bear- er then Bryan was not running but had bad the West est been certain of ot prosperity In Democratic success it would have mattered little who headed tho ticket The Tho West was passing through a transformation A steady unflagging development had started and Its progress progress pro pro- gress was reflected in the thc vote vole of ot 1904 The following table shows Republican can pluralities in the thirteen w western stern slates that were represented at Colo Col Colorado Colorado rado Springs In 1900 four states arc are recorded for Bryan In 1904 there arc Jl none but Republican pluralities State 1900 1904 Washington 1 Oregon California Idaho 2216 Nevada Neada 2498 2886 2885

that appeals unless it emanates eman eman- ates ales from a Torn Tom Kearns source have ascribed tIle the change in vote voto in Utah and arid I Idaho aho to tho time dominance of ot tho Mormon church Because Utah gave favo a plurality of or 2000 to lO McKinley in 1900 and 2 to Roosevelt in 1904 th the tho church was nurel surely r responsible Tho The same Is 15 said a of ot Idaho which Bryan Dryan carried b by 2000 votes vote In 1900 and nail which Roosevelt carried by In 1904 1004 Using the tho same argument it U ma may bo ho charged that the Mormon church switched Nevadas Nevada's Bryan plurality of ot 2000 In 1900 to a n similar majority for tor Roosevelt In 1904 Montana must bo be charged with tho the same dominance p for th the tho vote yot there was vas Changed ant and oven even Colorado where the worst effects ef of- feds of ot the tho Interference of or tho the MorI MormOn Mormon Mor Mor- 1 I mon church was Vias felt relt Bryan carried the state by and Roosevelt came earn along alan four our years later latel and turned turne the time trick with votes voles to tho the soo good 1 If tho the figures figureR were carried any further east cast it would be bo found that the
