Hon. j. A. Smith, of Blalocks, was
in the city last week on his return
from Salem Mr.. Smith said the farm
ers of Gillian county were very much
disappointed because the state board
had made the portage road a secondary
matter and had not pursued a more
active course in securing a right OF
way for the portage. Gillian county |
farmers had hoped the portage could
have been completed in time to handle |
this years wheat crop so that better
rates could have been secured. AS 1t |
is now they do not expect to see the
portage completed in less than IL
months, hence they will have to en-
dure paying exorbitant freight rates
on this years crop.

to Missouri, Kentucky and the solid
south, the doubtful states of Maryland,
West Virginia, Connecticut and Della
ware, Parker would have 10 electoral
votes to Roosevelt s 22l. This esti-
mate leaves New York, Indiana and
New Jersey, with a total of 66 electoral
votes, in the doubtful column.
OF these three states the Republican
managers appear most confident of
carrying Indiana and New Jersey. In
Indiana the presence of Senator Fair
banks on the ticket undoubtedly gives
them decided advantage, which,
coupled with the splendid condition of
their organization, seems to assure
them the victory, though even the most
sanguine concede that the result will
be close. In New Jersey the Demo
cratic state ticket is stronger than the
national ticket, and the contest is
largely on state issues. The Republi-
cans give Roosevelt plurality of 35,-
900, and even the independents believe
that Roosevelt will have a large plu.
rality.
In New York the battle has been one
of the fercest in the political annals
of the Empire state. External evidence

iority, if not all. of the electoral votes
Of the Rocky mountain states, 1t is
impossible TO predict accurately the
result in Wisconsin, but the very best
information indicates that Governor

the national ticket is in doubt.
"nlinois must also be classed in the
doubtful column, although there are in.
dications of Republican detection. If
any one entertains any doubt concern
ing the electoral vote Of the state of
New York, it ought to be dissolved by
the unprecedented registration of 66s,.
400 votes in New York city, and by the
reflection that this is first and foremost
Democratic city"
An unofficial forecast Of Democratic
success, based upon returns gathered by
a leading metropolitan newspaper, sizes
up the situation as follows;
The 13 states Of the old south, which
are not open to real contest, cast ISL
Electoral votes. To these the Is votes
of Maryland and West Virginia may
be added, making 166. OF the 476
members of the electoral college, 2S9
will be necessary for the Democrats to
elect President. 1t will be necessary,
therefore, for the Democrats to get
73 electoral votes north of Maryland
and West Virginia. Should New York s
80 electoral votes be cast for Parker,
as the Democratic managers are conf
dent they will be, there would remain
necessary for Democratic success only
"a more electoral votes. These "a
electoral votes might come from either
of the following combinations:
Group ono-Indiana, Is; New Jersey
10. and Connecticut Z, making an even
"a, restoring the "solid South (ex
cept Delaware), New York, Indiana
New Jersey and Connecticut" This
would be victory on the old battle
ground, with lines unchanged.
Leaving out Indiana, which the Re
publicans declare is vital 10 Demo
cratic success, the necessary "a vote
could be had by either of the follow
ing combinations:
Group three-New Jersey, II; Con
necticut, Z; Delaware, 3; California, lC

Group four--Now Jersey, -; Con
