PSI VOTES FOR ROOSEVELT.
Electoral College May Be Even More
LARGELY Republican.

New York, Oct. Z. = 1t may be stat
ed on the authority of those who are
in a position to know that Chairman
Cortelyou is confident that President
Roosevelt will be elected by almost If
that was cast for Mckinley and Roose-
Welt four years ago. The republican
national committee, owing to the thor
ough organization perfected is better
informed than Judge Parker as to
what the democratic campaign mana
gers are doing. The entire work of the
democratic national committee, it was
made known today, is centered in the
states OF Wisconsin,. West Virginia,
I Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey, New
York and Connecticut The reports
received by Chairman Cortelyou in
dictate that all the states named may
be classed as safely republican, with
the possible exception of Maryland
and Delaware. At the beginning of the
campaign the republicans did not
count on carrying Maryland but demo-
cratic division has developed in Bal
timore and Chairman Cortelyou now
classes the state for Roosevelt Dem
ocrats may gain the three electoral
votes of Delaware because Of the re-
publican fight against Addicks. The
democratic candidate for vice presi-
dent is not much Of vote getter in
his own state. and West Virginia is
considered safe for Roosevelt by TO-
900 to $4,000 majority. At republican
national headquarters there is no
alarm about the state of New York. AS
to the far west. the reports received at
republican national headquarters indi-
cate that Parker may have fighting
chance in Nevada and Montana, but no
chance whatever to carry any other
state in the west that went republican
four years ago. If Chairman Cortel-
you were to issue claim of electoral
votes this week he would make it not
less than PSI. and probably 292, for
Roosevelt
Prospect on Congress.
The republican national congress
sional committee. now that nearly all
of the congressional nominations have
been made, is preparing to open its
campaign in earnest. Chairman Bah
cock is confident of retaining the pres
ent republican majority in the house,
and says he would not be surprised to
add few more names to the republi-
can side of the roll. Word was receiv-
ed from Washington that the demo-
cratic national congressional commit
tee. which has been forced to stand
on its own legs since the campaign
opened from lack of cooperation by
Tom Taggart and the other members
of the democratic national committee
who have refused it money and less
material aid, had decided to abandon
its speakers bureau and will throw
itself on the mercy Of the mixed
crowd at national headquarters. Chair
man Cowherd has been trying to raise
his own campaign fund and to put up
the semblance of an individual fight
for the house. The abandonment of
the speakers bureau is taken here to
mean that he has met with little sue
cess.

THE WHEAT
CROP OF 1904
Estimates For the Northwest by the Com
merCial Review

The Commercial Review in this
issue publishes the figures of the
wheat crop in every wheat growing
county of Oregon, Washington and
Idaho. During August and early in
September figures were issued by par.
ties here saying that 'the wheat crop
would not reach forty-fve million
bushels At the @ame time we main
tanned that the crop would total fully
ffty-five millions bushels. On May 2d
we issued a report saying that the
acreage of spring and winter wheat
was close on to two and half mil
lion acres and estimating the crop,
barring climatic conditions, at sixty
million bushels. On August LIST we
reduced these figures FIVE million
bushels, owing to the drouth in the
Willamette valley and damage of
wheat in two counties by frost, to
fifty-fve millions. On September 4th
the editor left for tour over the en-.
tire Northwest and returned after an
absence of twenty.three days, in
which time he visited the principal

wheat stations, We find that the
spring crop was entirely raised on
dry ground and owing to the drouth
that prevailed in June, July and early
August, the crop was cut down from
10 to 20 per cent in some sections
over the first estimate made. The crop
damage was entirely over-estimated
by some parties and grossly exagger.
ated. In submitting these figures we
desire to say that the same has been
made conservatively, and in sine sec.
tions large amounts of wheat will be
retained by farmers for seeding and
home consumption. The crop of 1901
was 53,290,00O bushels, so our readers
can see that, Notwithstanding the
very large acreage this year, the crop
of 1901 was not exceeded this year
One week of rain the latter part of
June would have given us a crop of
sixty million bushels and over of
wheat.
The Commercial Review submits
the following figures as its final re.
port of the wheat crop of 1904:
