Estimating the Probable Result

The 'straw-vote" man and the manager
OF newspaper polls In the doubtful states
have fairly finished their work. Their esti-
mates, whether based upon confidential
information or upon postal card polls. are
always interesting up To the very eve of
election Yesterday three New York news
papers printed the results of their figuring.
The Herald and the Tribune showed Roose-
velts election beyond a question. while the
Brooklyn Eagle confined itself to some call
culations as TO the vote of the big city. 1t
but the inference TO be dra wn from its New
York city figures is plainly that there is
now gathering force a ground swell which.
giving Parker a plurality of $50 900 below
the Bronx, is likely TO sweep him into the
White House. Even the New York World,
ardent supporter OF Parker though it is.
cannot accept the Eagles figures unaues-
tioningly. but making few computations
of its own to show the Eagles estimate TO
be phenomenal. calls the result sensational
The Herald's POLL has the greater signifi-
canoe in view of the policy of that paper
during the campaign. Contrary to its usual
course ii declared for Judge Parker imme-
diately after his nomination 1t has lost
heart of late, however. and has not been so
strenuous in its championship as at first.
Its estimate Is that Roosevelt win surely

train and must be transported somehow 10
another city the trolley often serves as a
simple solution of the problem. Connec-
tons often become possible by way OF troi-
ley lines that otherwise could not be made.
The establishments due to delayed trains
are effectively corrected thus in many IN
stances.
The inter-urban trolley has of course
heavy patronage in the development of the
rural regions. Farmers find the market
brought closer by this means. They can
reach the town more easily. The trolley
lines run through country that the rail-
roads will not touch, and already complaint
is heard in some quarters that the electric
roads are cutting into the freight profits Oh
the older lines of transport
In this rapid development of the long
distance trolley system the public hopes to
be effectively safeguarded against acci-
dents. The average overhead wire con-
struction is cheap and easily placed ana
roadbeds OF such lines are not all they
should be- in some cases. Many OF the
lines-indeed most of those connecting cit
ies-are single tracked and the percentage
of danger of collision Is CORRESPONDENCE
high. The switch and cutoff system is re-
liable to a certain degree, but accidents
have happened because of the failure OF
automatic devices for shutting Off current
and stopping cars, and such accidents viii
happen again If the precautions against
disaster are not multiplied.

Long-Distanca Trollevs.

From Boston to Chicago by trolley is al
most an actuality. however startling the
proposition may appear. In a few months
the last gap In series of connecting elec-
trical roads will be completed In Michigan,
and ii will be possible for a tourist who
wants to see the country to travel by
street car from the capital of Massachu-
sets TO the metropolis of the lakes, dis
lance of very nearly twelve hundred miles.
Just how long 1t would require to make
the trip in this way has not yet been es-
timated but of course ii is reasonable to
suppose that the trofleys will never COM
pete with the steam roads for through pas
senger traffic. 1t is possible now to go
from Boston to Chicago. on the basis OF
close connections, In about thirty hours.
and in all likelihood 1t would take fully
four or five days to make the run by the
electric roads, However, there Is a charm
about long-dstanee trolley travel which
is not yet fully appreciated by most peo-
pie. On many of the longer trolley lines OF
the north the cars are equipped with all
conveniences. and ON some roads even
sleeping cars as well as diners" are run.

the steam trains.
These inter-city trolleys are developing
a considerable patronage by fitting their
schedules to those of the steam lines, max

able" and uncertain" he would have Sl4
votes, or a shade less than Go per cent or
the electoral college. In this event Parker
would be. literally the worst beat man
since Horace Greedy" The republican cam
didate in 1872 received 81 per cent of the
total vote, Grant having beaten Seymour
four years earlier with 72 per cent of the
college. Garfield got 90 per cent. Cleveland
in 1884 had "a per cent. In 1888 Harrison
polled 80 per cent. In 1892 Cleveland got
G. per cent, in 1896 Mckinley 90. per cent,
and in 1900 Mckinley scored a trifie higher
than Go per cent. Thus Mr. Rooseveits
vote. at 314 in the college. would overtop
that of Mckinley four years ago by frac-
ton of per cent and give him the highest
percentage of any winner since 1877.
The Herald's poll of the big city shows
probable plurality of 10000 for Parker be-
low the Bronx, with an indicated Roose-
welt plurality of $4,000 UP the state. Civ
ing a republican margin of about 12.oUO.
which, in view of the vast size of the poll
In the whole state, is very close indeed
The Tribune estimates about 5000 tor
