Something Wrong.

late election were stating that
Mckinley had swept all the
doubtful central western States
by big majorities, that Chairman
Butler would not concede Nc
Kinley's election, even after 9TH
err campaign managers had given
up. He stated that he had re-
liable information showing that
Bryan had made gains in States
like Indiana, Ohio, Iowa, Min
nesota, California and other
States big enough to give him
the electoral votes of these
States by good majorities. Even
when the State chairman in these
States conceded that Mckinley
had carried the Chairman Butler
said that he could not under
stand it and insisted that there
was something wrong.
The official count of these
States is now coming out and
they throw much light on the
matter. The vote tabulated in
Ohio, Iowa, Minnesota and Ind
lana show that there is something
not only wrong but very rotten.
In Indiana the following are
complete figures as taken from
the official returns
Democratic and Peoples, 305, :
425; 1923, 1923; Prohibitionist, 3, O56;
Gold Standard, 2,146; National,
2,268; Socialist Labor, 1923. Nc
Kinley's majority, 9,610; Nc
Kinley's plurality, 49, 08. Total
vote cast, 637, 046.
In 1892 the same totals showed
the following vote: Democratic,
262,740; Republican, 255,615;
Prohibitionist, 18,050; Populist,
$4,000. Total vote, $50, 613.
This shows an increase of 49,
433 votes since last Presidential
election. This is an unreason-
able increase, when we consider
that the last Republican candi-
date was Mr.. Harrison and that
he lives in Indiana. 1t was
claimed in 1892 that Harrison
broughtout remarkably full
vote. Therefore there was little
stay at home vote to swell this
tremendous increased vote. The
increased vote would indicate
that the population of that State
had increased a half million
since the last election, and this
is unreasonable. Another thing
that proves that this increased
vote is not straight is that near
ly the whole of it is counted for
Mckinley. Just think of it,
Bryan this year got $4,000 more
votes in Indiana than Harrison
got in 1892. Now man who
could gain $4,000 of the votes
that were cast for Harrison in
1892, would certainly get at least
half of the increased vote if it
was not bogus. 1t is clear that
the gold ring bought up election
officers and stuffed the ballot
boxes or made this increase in
some other unlawful way and
counted it all for Mckinley.
Now let us look at Ohio. That
State this year gave AIS, 600 votes
for Bryan. This is 10000 more
than it gave Cleveland four years
ago, when the vote was so close
that one of the Cleveland cleo
tors was elected, and is the larg-
est vote ever hitherto given by
that State to any candidate,
Democratic or Republican. 1t
is 10000 more than Campbell
received last year, and $4,000
more than Bushnell, the present
Governor Of the State received.
The largest vote ever received
by any Republican candidate up
to 1896 was Bushnell's vote in
1895, and that was 427, 900. This

year Bryan beat Bushnell's vote
by $4,000, and yet he is reported
as defeated by 80, majority.
How was it done ? The re-
turns show that the total vote of
that State this year is $50, 784
votes more than was cast last
year (1895). The contest in that
State last year for Governor was
very exciting one, and the vote
was 100000 larger than ever cast
before in the State. The Repub-
licans tried to explain the great
increase then by saying that
every vote in the State was cast
then for the first time. On the
other hand the Democrats charg-
ed that votes were imported and
that ballot boxes were stuffed.
They showed that the population
of the State was 3,825.00O, and
that counting one voter for every
five of population that the total
vote could not be over 10000
while the returns showed 840,-
500 votes. Now here comes a
Presidential election only one
year later and the total vote is
$50, 444 larger than it was last
year.
There is something very rotten
there. No one can claim that
the population of Ohio has in
creased over a million in one
year, and it would take such an
increase of population to explain
this increase of vote even if the
election was honest in 1895. In
short comparing the population
and the total vote in Ohio this
year, it would show that nearly
one person out of every three of
population counting women,
children, convicts and insane)
voted. This is absurd. 1t is
impossible.
Yes there is something rotten
in Ohio, and if it can be investi-
gated and the truth arrived at,
it would show that Bryan carried
the State.
In 1892 Kentucky's total vote
was 340,84 Cleveland received
175, 461 and Harrison 1876, AL. In
1895 Kentucky's total vote was
357, 057. In 1896 Kentucky's
total vote 100000 Of these
Bryan received about POP, 981,
Mckinley about 203,410. In
Kentucky Bryan received at least
q, 900 more votes than Cleveland
received in 1892, and at least
30, 900 more votes than the sue
cessful candidate for governor
received in Kentucky in 1895.
But Kentucky's vote increased
about 80, 900 in one year. Where
did they all come from ?
Next let US look at Iowa. In
1892 the combined Cleveland and
Weaver vote in Iowa was 216,-
900; Harrison's vote was $3.50
total vote, 435, 200. The total
vote this year was $4,000, of
which Bryan received $4,000
and Mckinley $4,000. This was
a gain in four years of $1,000
votes. Of this gain Bryan re-
ceived 1000 and Mckinley TO-
900.
This was a gain of no votes
in each of the 100 counties of the
State. Counting five inhabitants
to each vote, we have an increase
of population in Iowa in four
years of $3.50 to the county, a.
total of $4,000.
The census of 1890 gives Iowa
1911, 900 population. The State
census, taken last year, gives
the population as 2,058, 900, a
gain in four years of $4,000
If the vote this year was hon
est, and the census of 1890 and
1895 correct, then Iowa has
gained 238, 900 souls during the
hard times of the past year,
whereas she gained but 147, 900
during the four subsequent
years.

Advertising Paws.

A New York newspaper recently had
a fine chance to test it's value as an adj
vertising medium. Says the Foutrb
Estate:
at was given the advertisement OF
a certain New York magazine which
sells for ten cents a copy. 1t was a large
announcement, and, after reciting its at.
fractions, an entire line appeared in
bold display in the advertisement: Send
ten cents for a number The compose
tor made the line come out in the paper
to read: Send ten cents for a year The
advertisement appeared Sunday, and
Mondays mail brought the magazine
over three hundred letters with ten
cents inclosed for a years subscrip-
ton as per your advertisement in yes
terday's - The magazine consult
ed its lawyer, who advised the publish
er to make the newspaper pay the ex-
ira ninety cents ON each subscription,
and although this demand was at first
refused the proprietors of the daily
finally yielded. During the first week
eight hundred and fifty-five letters with
ten cents inclosed reached the maya
zine, and now the total is a few over
one thousand one hundred. Up to date,
