Total doubtful .----..----.. lbs
There are some foot notes that
should 90 with this table:
The Pacific States-Californla,
Oregon and Nevada-are put down
in the sure republican column.
They are sure with the right kind
of candidate-nOt otherwise.
. Every Southern State is placed
in the sure democratic column.
But with the right kind of a cam
paign there may be fighting
chance for the republicans to carry
North Carolina, Tennessee and
West Virginia.
3. OF the States classified as
doubtful, Connecticut, Indiana and
New Jersey went republican in
their latest elections, and New
York democratic. Bat they are all
really doubtful.
4. The democrats cannot elect
the next President without carry
ing New York. If they should
carry all the other doubtful States
and lose New York they will still
lack eighteen votes of enough. Or,
if they should carry New York and
lose the other doubtful States, they
would fall twelve votes short. In
order to win they must carry both
New York and Indiana, or New
York, New Jersey and Connecticut,
besides the solid south.
3. The republicans can win by
either one of the following combi-
nations:
Sure republican States..--....---."ls2

Or, if the republicans can carry
North Carolina, Tennessee and
West Virginia, they can afford to
lose all the northern doubtful
States. Or, if they can carry
Indiana and any of these three,
they can afford to lose New York,
New Jersey and Connecticut. And
there is no good reason why they
shouldn't carry them all.
On the whole, the republicans
can face the next presidential con-
test with full courage.

Quoted by the state chairman, we have
resolved that we will not submit to that

voice OF any party, and place it at the
mercy OF one-man power whenever he
chooses to exert that power. It is con-
trary to every tenet Of Republicanism

that this may be done. The history Of

The unit rule, in our judgment, has
been repudiated beyond question by the
Republican party. Why it should be

The course insisted upon OF demand

things relate to national politics rather

They show, in our present party man

cares nothing whatever for precedent or

that IS determined TO rule or ruin the Re-

My neghbors sold more goods. indeed
they appeared to be busy every day. They
sold on credit and charged more for their
wares. Mrs. Scrub always wanted me to
do a credit business because her pa did.
We had had several warm debates of late
on this subject, and although felt that the
cash business was the only safe one, her
arguments, like water dropping on the
stone, wore the foundation gradually away.
On arriving home one night little more
than a month ago | said to the madam
Mrs. Scrub, the fact is business is dull !;
indeed, madam, dull is no name for the
stagnate condition of trade at Etoniah
Scrubs store"
"Why don't you do a credit business,
Etoniah Scrubs Now there is pa back in
Pennsylvania who does a credit business.
Everybody trades with him and it made
him so popular with the people that they
wanted to run him for Governor"
Yes, yes, madam, / know, you have told
me the same thing a thousand times or
more, and have told you that your pa is
rich and can afford to do a credit business,
and can wait on a man year or two for
that matter"
''Why pa only gives credit for a month.

a bundle of bills. At night he returns with

We talked all night about what madam's
pa did. and next morning the old sign that
for five years had demanded cash or no
trade was replaced by another in glass that
