Newkirk, o. T, Oct Ito the Editor
of the Eagle: Can Mr.. Bryan win the
presidency? There are forty-five states
The electoral college has AL votes. 1t re-
ouires 224 to elect. He starts with the
Solid South as follows: Alabama II, Ar
kansas s. Florida 1, Georgia Is, Kentucky
Is, Louisiana g. Mississippi 8. Missouri H.
North Carolina H. South Carolina g. Ten
nessee Y, Texas Il, Virginia PIP votes
Mr.. Bryan goes eats in October TO cap
ture block of doubtful states. Accord
ing to his itinerancy these are: New Jer"
sey 10. Maryland s. Connecticut 6, West
Virginia 6. Delaware S-33 plus 142 equals
10 With this vote and without any ives
tern states, including the silver states,
Mr.. Bryan can be elected if he carries the
pivotal states, Indiana 10, New York 36,
total 81, which, plus 175 equals 226, enough
10 elect.
II he only carries New Jersey 10, Of the
eastern block. and carries the block of
silver states at his back: Colorado 4
Montana 3, Idaho 3, Wyoming 3, Nevada
3. Utah 8, with Nebraska 8, thrown in for
good measure, total 81, plus the pivotal
states Indiana and New OYrk, 81, plus
the Solid South, 142, he will have 25O six
more than enough TO elect.
Suppose he carries the whole block of
eastern states he is going after, New

wise the silver states. Nevada, Montana,
Colorado Wyoming. Idaho, the Mormons,
his beloved Nebraska, with North Da-
kota thrown in for good measure, ne
could win without Kentucky's 13, Of the
Solid South, for he would still have 22S,
or four more than enough to elect, and if
he carries Kentucky, he can do without
two of the silver states and North Da-
kota and his own dearly priced Nebraska,
for without them he would have exactly
224 votes, ust enough to elect and remem-
Der Mckinley gets Indiana in this calcu-
lation. likewise bleeding" Kansas
Thus you see New York with its S6
votes, is the pivotal state and we predict
that election day will see a mighty clash
between the great Mark Hanna, the true
friend Of the laboring man, and the i'm
pertuurbable Dick Croker, in the the EN-
pire state, to secure the necessary votes
TO elect.
So let's keep our shirts on here in Okla
homa and all vote for Flynn, the best
farmers congressman ever invented, and
let's hurrah for Mckinley, the prosperity
maker. and wish him success and God
speed in the settlement of the momen-
t0us questions of state.
Mckinley will have, without doubt the
electoral votese of: California ., Illinois
q. Indiana i. Iowa b. Maine s, Massa-
chusetts Is. Michigan A. Minnesota g.
New Hampshire 4, Ohio %, Oregon 4,
Pennsylvania 30, Rhode Island 4, South
Dakota 4, Vermont 4, Washington 4, Wis
consin q, and bleeding Kansas 10, with
her y-milion-dollar wheat crop. and

New York's IS, notwithstandi the crok-
ings Of Dick Croker. making 242, enough
to give Bryan Indiana, If they are deter
mined to go that way. but we know Tom
Taggart Of Indianapolis and he is not as
strong as he used to be In the city of
Indianapolis. Indiana is going Republi-
can this year by 10000 votes, likewise
Kansas by the same number of votes.
Hurrah for Mckinley and Dennis Flynn,
likewise Teddy, the Rough Talker.
BY the way, the papers state that the
American consul at Frankfort reports
panic abount 10 take place in Europe
Does that not indicate that Mckinley
prosperity is Earring things in Europe?
Bryau's election would give us the panic
It is reported also that all the Demo-
cratic soldiers in the Philippines thor
oughly despise Bryan. TRANCE, is it not?
Wonder why?
The full dinner bucket is the keynote
Of this campaign, likewise expansion
