MID-PREsIDENTIAL ELECTION

The present alarm of the Republican
leaders arises from the apprehension OF
a comparatively light vote in the coming
elections. They know that light vote
would mean an exceptionally large ra-
ito of Republican stay-at- homes. Hence
the warming Of Senator Hanna that
many congress districts are in danger
of being lost to the party.
Why, it was asked, should light
vote be peculiarly adverse to the Re-
publican party? Because, in part, OF
the large element of wealthy voters who
are Indifferent to politics except In cam
paigns specially calculated to arouse
them. This element in politics is more
noticeable in the east than in the west.
but 1t Is factor, and an important one.
in our own state. 1t is only about once
in four years, in presidential elections,
that enough political interest can be
aroused in this class to induce them to
vote. They regard voting as a task that
they would normally prefer to avoid.
AS an example of this popularity We
=
York Last year that state returned a
Democratic plurality of 60.SS9. The
Democratic vote cast was 554,6S0. This
vote was 3S11 larger than the one cast
the preceding year for Bryan, though
the latter was defeated by 26S,469. 1t
is only the relative stability of the Demo-
cratic vote, however, that we call atten-
ton to here. Thousands of Democrats
and all the off-year stay-at-homes
voted against Bryan. The fact remains
that last year New York, on a light vote.
was Democratic by large majority, and
even with largely increased vote now,
in view of the governorship and con-
gressional elections, the state should go
Democratic again.
In California the same conditions are
noticeable that we see in New York,
though, of course, on a greatly dimin-
ished scale. In the larger towns and
cities there is a considerable voting ele-
ment that can be aroused only by the
excitement of presidential election. In
the election two years ago the Repub-
lican plurality was 2797, but in the mid
presidential election of 1894 the Demo-
cratic candidate for governor was elect
ed by plurality of 1906.
Viewing the situation from the pres
ent standpoint, but little more than a
month from election day, the canvass
throughout the whole country seems un-
usually quiet. There is plenty of time,
it is true, to stir up enthusiasm and
make the political fur fly, but there are
no visible signs Of any great awaken
ing thus far. More local interest is man
ifested in the California election than in
any other, with the possible exception
of New York. 1t may be that great
political ebullition will agitate the
country within the MONTH but a reas-
enable degree of serenity prevails at
present.
1t is to throw off this apathy and stir
up Republican zeal that Senator Hanna
has sounded the alarm throughout the
ranks of his party. We suspect, too,
that President McKinley's tour to Chi
cago and Omaha is primarily intended
to arouse the faithful. Certain it is
that the Republican leaders make no at
tempt to conceal their forebodlngs of
a light Republican, vote and a conse-
quent loss of party control in congress.
