REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Springfield. Ill. Dec. 1O.-An analysis OF
the presidential vote cast in Illinois in the
recent election shows that the overwhelm.
ing defeat of the Democratic party in this
State was largely due to the failure OF
members OF the party TO vote.
Although Roosevelt's plurality over Par
ker in the State was 3o5, ,oas. an unprece-
dehted majority, comparison to the vote
cast this year with thar of four years ago
shows that the increase in the Republican
vote was only 1850. which is not nearly a
normal increase consequent on additional
population.
On the other hand. while the Republican
vote increased something over 34,ooo in
four years, the Democratic vote IN the
State was l75.455 less last November than
1t was four years before.
Taking the normal increase resulting
from additional population, and Il Is ap-
parent that approximately 10000 voters
ordinarily aligned with the Democratic
party did not register their preference at
the polls in the recent election.
SocIALIsTIC INCREASE.

recent election IS the decided increase in

Indianapolis, Ind. Doc. E.-Speaking
generally Of the result OF the recent cleo

There were some 5000 marked doubtful

1900, and perhaps that many more. voted

PLAYED DRAW GAME.
LAST OF SEASON

AS usual with the big football games
this fall. tomorrow's game In Ph!ladel-
phia between West Point and Annapolis,
which closes the pigskin season. finds one
team a pronounced favorite over the
other. West Point however. Is not as
much OF a favorite as last year or as
other tears have been this year. While
the general belief Is that West Point VIII
win, II Is also the general belief that An
napolis is stronger than for two or three
years past and that the game will be no
such easy thing as last year.
There is little satisfaction I'm trying TO
esrfwate The relative strength OF the two
teams from their work against other
teams. They played only two teams in
common, Princeton and Dickinson. and
the fact that Annapolis beat Princeton
and that Princeton beat West Point is not
regarded as at all significant. II do
show. however. that Annapolis has possi-
bilitles. The fact that West Point beat
Yale which team has the best rush line
In the country. offsets the navys defeat
OF Princeton. West Point has played a
more consistent game than Annapolis
shown more evenness OF strength. Annap-
oils victory over Princeton was followed
by a nothing to nothing game with Dick
inson and a nine TO nothing defeat by
Swarthmore. West Point defeated Dickin-
son IS to nothing and later Annapolis
could not beat Dickinson. though fumbles
and penalties and not weakness in rush
ing prevented a victory. West Point
