BRYAN DOESNT SPELL A Good Deal of Advertising Be ing Done by Both Parties but it is Generally Understood That People Have Made Up Their Minds A New York correspondent writes to The Independent The general tendency of sentiment in New York city is that Taft will barriers seem more or less broken down as regards the national election and practical issues are being carefully considered The stoall tradesman as wellas the large manufacturers and dealers seem to realize that business interests are at stake Bryans name does not spell Prosperity here There is a good deal of advertising being done by both bands small parades and so on but the Headquarters are very quiet according to authorities on the subject It is no uncommon thing to see pictures of Taft and Sherman Bryan and Kern in the same windows proves that the people have already made up their minds and sell their window space impartially Naturally the gubernatorial elec tion is more hotly issue here be elected on the upstate vote but Chanler will un doubtedly carry New York city He has a large following and is consider ed to be quite as strong a man person ally as Hughes It is within the probabilities that the state may go Republican for Taft and Democratic on local issues It would not be true to say that Bryan is considered a joke at least he is not taken seriously The east side takes to Mr Debs but the general feeling seems to be that Bry ans election would mean a serious menace to business conditions now be coming more or less normal The average man so far as one can judge from the expressions of public senti ment in the papers will vote for the Republican candidate leaving to Bryan whatever he can take from the Socialist element The sensational features of the campaign do not ap pear to bo of much actual Two Hundred Dollars was Paid Recently for an Animal Twelve Years Price of Feed Makes the Maintenance of a Stable Expensive Solemn warning is hereby given to al automobiles not to get the swelled chassis because oE the mistaken idea that they are putting the horse mar ket on the hummer by overcrowding it until the poor animals are scarcely able to get their respective breaths The fact of the matter is horse flesh is higher just now than it has been in well many years anyway There are plenty of nags for sale but when a dealer speaks of a horse if has any respect for himself or the spe cies he means a decent animal that looks better on the hoof hitched to a buggy than distributed about on a mana foot a baseball or furniture The change in the condition of the horse market declared one dealer to day is not due to automobiles or the lack of automobiles It is due simply to the fact that the practice of rais ing horses has suddenly grown ular A few years ago horses were un Now its a hard job an animal that comes up to the re of persons with or to invest Recently horses 12 and 13 years old have been sold for 1200 No the dealer will tell you theres no overstocking of the horse market be a horse famine shortly instead price oE corn and oats began some time advance liv expected to see plenty of hor ses come into the market but they were disappointed In spite of the fact that it cost a good many cents a day to keep the family pet that pulled all the little kids around and never tried to run away they did not dispose of the old Dobbins The advent of the automobile did not decrease the pat at the local livery stables be cause those who were able to purchase automobiles were able in most cases to support stables of their own One liveryman said that he expect ed the cost of keeping a horse to ad vance higher than ever during the coming winter and spring The oats crop this year he said was not a fail ure but one while the ears of corn are but half developed and small Hay has advanced rapidly and will in all probability cost in the spring double what it does now There have been but two times in fifty years that I can remember when corn cost more than said one horseman today Within the past few days that condition has existed The other time was four years ago I dont know what the out come will be Im sure in my own mind that the President of the United States has nothing to do with the price of horse feed around here If it rains for weeks and spoils the crop the price goes up and the people blame the president If it is dry and the price goes up they blame the dent He cant control the weather and that is what makes or spoils a good The ladies of the Wesley M E church will serve a Dutch supper In their church in Henry street Friday evening from to p m Watch
