is not serious.
The fire occurred in q stuffy compartment oil

The place was filled with a dense smoke that

ELECTION DEDUCTIONS
Il PRESAGE OF VICTORY.
Results of Recent Contests Point to
Republican Success Ne.rt Year.
IFRoM THE TRIBUNE BUREAU.l

Washington. Nov 12.-In the last general cleo
ton the Republicans carried thirty States. hav-
ing 314 electoral votes. while the Democrats
carried only fifteen. having 162 electoral votes
Rhode Island is included in the above calcula-
ton. because. although the Democrats elected a
Governor. the Republicans carried all else.
Ever since the election on November 8. many
expert political caIcuIators have been working
with pencil and paper with those results in
view. and the conclusions here presented are
some OF the deductions Of one of the most skilful
among the Republican politicians
A comparison with the results of the McKtn-
leyRoosevelt election shows a loss of Maryland.
with eight votes In the Electoral College. but
that is more than offset by the gain of Colo
RADIO. Idaho and Montana with total Of eleven
votes. comparison with 1899 shows a loss Of
Kentucky, which in turn is Offset by the gain OF
Nevada. Colorado. Utah. Montana and Idaho.
By a carefully prepared table it IS shown that
ever since the organization of the Republican
party that party which has carried those states
having majority Of the electoral votes at the
election preceding a Presidential year has car
ried the Presidency, with one exception. in 1915,
when the Democrats had carried in the year
preceding the election States which cast a ma
jority of votes in the Electoral College; but on
the other hand. it is remarked that considerable
difficulty was experienced even that year by the
Republicans in seating President Hayes
With regard to Maryland. it is remarked as
Il coincidence, that it vas lost by almost pre-
cisely the same majority four years ago.
Smith having had plurality of 1923 and War
field plurality of 1888. The result this year
can be attributed to two prime cause.-the form
OF the ballot, which eliminated a large portion
Of the negro vote and Mr.. Germans injection
Of the question into the campaign II is
roted. however that Republican gains were gen.
eral in the white counties.
The following table is submitted in connection
with the above conclusions:
