Sold Democratic South. Solid Repuoltcan North

The Democrats do not hope to break the
''solid North any more than the Repub-
licans really expect to rupture the ''solid
South" One is just about as '' solid as
the other Florida and North Carolina
are an offset to Connecticut and Oregon,
but none of the four are really ''doubtful'
in a Presidential election.
The contest is therefore confined to six
States, namely, California, with 8 votes :;
Indiana, with IS; Nevada, with 3; New
Jersey, with 9; New York, with SO; and
Ohio, with 90 votes-a total of "a electo-
raj votes. The candidate that can get 4s
votes out of this lot Of States will become
the next President.
