YOUNG ALBERT KlCToR.

Prince Albert Victor's recent en-
try upon his 21st year reminds the
st. James Gazette that never yet
has the eldest son of Prince OF
Wales come of age during his faith
er's lifetime and before his father
accession to the throne. Frederick,
son Of George H., who came nearest
to doing so, was" it says, ago years
and a few months old when, in 1927
the latter became King. 1t would,
however, be misleading to compare
the status of Prince Albert Victor
with that of his ancestor, who never
set foot in England till year and
half after he had succeeded to the
position of her-apparent to the
crown. Prince Frederick, indeed,
received, the Garter in his tenth
year, and n Peerage with the title
of Duke of Edinburg in his TWEEN
tieth; but scarcely any other official
cognizance was taken of his exist
ence as an English Prince. No old
est son of a Prince of Wales, being
such, has married; and there is only
one instance Of marriage being
contracted by a daughter of a
Prince of Wales" If, then, Queen
Victoria lives and reigns after the
Sth of January next, and both her
eldest son and his eldest son are
likewise then living, the British
Parliament will truly have ga case
unprecedented" upon its hands IN
dealing with the question of an an
nuity and separate establishment
for Albert Victor.

By the new apportionment addi-
tional votes were given to the above
mentione States as follows:

Adding this increased vote to that
cast in 1880 gives the strength OF
the Democrats i'm the electoral COL
lsge at 172, which, with the thirty
six votes of New York State, would
make 20S, clear majority of seven,
In this enumeration the only
State not certainly Democratic is
New York, while not included in it
are Indiana and Connecticut, which
are quite as likely to be Democratic
as Republican. Beyond this it
would be idle for the Democrats to
look. They might carry all the
States first named, and Indiana and
Connecticut as well, but, losing New
York, they would be defeated. On
the other hand, if they should make
New York the battle field, and stake
their hope of success on their ability
to carry it, they would, with unob-
icctionable candidates, have but to
retain a State already their own,
and the votes of Indiana and Con-
necticut could be held in reserve to
make up for any break which might
occur in some less important quar-
ter. The necessity Of the Demo
Gratis making their campaign in
New York is so plain as to require
no labcred argument to substantiate
it. Without that State they cannot
win, as the figures show. With it,
defeat would be practically out Of
the question. sre.. 1920
The prstenss that Ohio can be
made Democratic State this year
is idle. Hopes based on that idea
will be shattered. The State has
never failed to vote for Republican
candidates in Presidential elections.
1t has occasionally been carried by
Democrats in off years, but as reg
ularly quadrennial contests have
taken place it has returned to its
allegiance. New York, on the con-
trary, when not overwhelmingly
Democratic, has always been close,
and since the war it has been
carried twice by Democrats in Pres
idential years. Nothing but the
unpOpularity of Mr.. Greeley with
the party whose candidate he was
prevented the State from declaring
against Grantism in 1872 MS We
as it did in 1876. In no
previous contest has the possession
of New York been of such vital i'm
portance to the Democrats as now,
for at no other election in twenty
five years have they had a certain
ty Of enough votes elsewhere to
elect their candidates even if they
did carry that State. This year
they have that certainly.
