The Vote IN November.

It is estimated that 1s.000.0OO votes
will be cast for President in November.
The vote in 1896 was 13.923.3TS. and in
1900 it was 13,961,5G6. If the estimate
Of 100000 votes should Prove correct
over a million more votes will be cast
this year than were cast four years ago
There has been a large increase in the
number of votes, and there will proba-
bly, be no larger number Of stay -at-hone
voters this year than there was in 1900
