PARKER's VOTE
Is Over One Million Less than .ry-
an,a -Four Years Ago.
THE OFFICIAL RETURNS now I'M
Also Show That Rooseyelt's Total.
Vote Was Only a Little oyeE
Four Hundred Thousand
More than MoKinley,a

The official canvass by States Of tho
votes In the recent Presi Dental cleo
tion, which is now nearly complete,
shows some startling results, which
even the most astute politicians failed
to foresee. Undoubtedly the greatest
surprise Is found In the fact that the
total of the popular vote was less than
In 1900. From the latest figures,
most of which are official, it iSsfound
that Roosevelt received 1902 1SO
votes and Parker 5,lIe, ,704. In 1900
Mckinley had 7,217,8l0 and Bryan
6.357 g. Tnus Roosevelt's gain
over McKinley's vote was only 480,-
$40, while Parker's loss from the
Bryan vote was approximately three
times that figure, or 1,23S,122. For
every new recruit In the Republican
army there were three deserters from
the Democrats.
This shows that the combined vote
for Roosevelt and Parker totalled 12,-
S2l, 1884, which was 1882 less than
the combined vote for Mckinley and
Bryan in 1900. Add 100000 for the il
Socialist vote, and the total Is still
ab ut $4,000 short of the total vote
OF all parties in 1900, which. was 49,
s6l, ,566. There is no reason for be-
lieving that the Populist, Prohibi--
zionist and Socialist Labor candiHates
had SO many as $50, 900.
This indicates clearly tha& fewer
persons voted than in the breeding
contest. Olt Of the entire list of
States there were only thRee in which
Roosevelt's vote was Smaller than Nc
Kinley,s and Prsker,s preatar than
Bryan's. These were Georgia, Missls-
sippi and Se1Sh Carolina In eight

tive When They Charged.
HYn. William Jenning Bryan made
q flying trip to Kansas City, going tc
the Hotel Baltimore, where he me,
Moses O. Wetmore, of ST. Louis, by
appointment, to arrange for hunt In
thes sOz irks, the party to be made up
OF Mfr. Bryan, Mr.. Wetmore aud few
others. Mr.. Bryan denied that his
needing with Mr.. Wetmore was to
talk politics or to arrange for con.
ference OF Democrats.
The story that sent out letters
to prom 'nent Democrats" said he, lis
untrue. sent out no letters and l
have not tried to have q conference.
My plans do not contemplate a con.
ferelce OF any sort, at Least in the
impiediate future"
MI. Bryan was asked to give his
opir Ion of the Republican success In
the election.
III you will examine the returps, -
said he, you will fnd that the Re.
publican increase was not as much as
might have been expected. They
show, for instance, that the r >osevelt
vote in Missouri was only 7,3OC over
the. Mckinley vote of 1900. II ytu
take this Republican vote and figure
out the percentage you will find that
the increase Is not in keeping with
the increase in popula tion that one
would naturally expect. It would be
Fewer than 1000 votes a year, equiv
alent to 900 Increase In population
and 4surely you have increased more
rapidly than that. If the Republicans
and Democrats We're equally divided
1t would approximate only 1000 In.
crease In population in a year, or 200.
600 IN decade. eWhat decade shows
so small an increase as that?
So you see," Mr.. Bryan went on,
it IS not Republican victory at all
In indicates rather, falling off In
the Democratic vote, whereas it
should increase. You will notice the
sams thing Is true in other states. The
Republican gain was not In proportion
to the Democratic loss. The Repub.
ltcals OF Missouri would better make
the most of their opportunity, for
there Is no evidence of change OF
political complexion of the state. In
llliEois the Republicans had about
33, coo increase, while the Democratic
votG fell OF 10000. In ole county
Roosevelt had 900 majority more than
Mckinley had in 1900 and had too,
a smaller vote than Mckinley had,
whirh showed stay-at-home vote Of
more than 1000 Democrats.
In Nebraska the situation was the
sans as l have described elsewhere.
Rp,seyelt' s gain over McKinley's vote
of 1900 was less than Nc VS. gain
over his own vote Of 1895, Willie the
com, ,ined vote of Parker and Watson
was Al, 1000 less than my vote in 1900.
That shows 1t was not so much q Re.
IS s. 20 ga'n;as a less for the opposl.
tion. 1t requires only a campaign
tfat will arouse the people to bring
our vote up to its normal figures"
But to what do you attribute the
stay -at-home vote?"

be conservative when it should have

VIII Worry Along.

Mr.. R9ckefeller's Standard oil has
this year paid dividend of only S36
per share, compared with S44 In 1903.
This decrease Of S8 on the share will
mean loss Of just 3,2O0,O 900 In the
Rockefeller income. But the recent
4-cent raise in the price OF Standard
oil will probably enable tho poor man
to tide over the hard winter.

Col. Sterrett's story reminded Gen.
Urell of an Irish woman who sold pies
to the soldiers of the Army of the Po-

a table made of boards set on barrels,
and she sold thousands of pies, usually
by the cut. One of the soldiers asked
her how she could tell which pie to

She pointed brand IT.. M on one Of
the pies and said: cts simple enough.
