How to Begin.

low TO Begin.
Now, the way the prophets usually begin
their figuring, and according to the formula
presented by Gen. Grosvenor, is to set aside
l51 votes. the solid south, and give them to
the democrats. That takes in the eleven
strictly southern states and Kentucky and
Missouri So that leaves SS votes for the
democrats to get in order to barely carry
the election.
Next set aside the admitted republican
states, which are classed as follows: Cali
fornia, 10; Illinois, q; Iowa, 13; Kansas
10; Maine, s.; Massachusetts,, 16; Michigan,
IA; Minnesota, IL; Nebraska, s; New Hamp-
shire, 4; North Dakota, 4; Ohio, %; Oregon
A; Pennsylvania, "a; Rhode Island, 4; South
Dakota, 4; Vermont 4; Washington 5; Wis
consin, 13; Wyoming, 3. Total, 217. The
republicans then have to get but % votes
to win.
There are left these states from which the
two parties are to endeavor to secure their
quota: Colorado, 81 Connecticut, Z; Della
ware, B; Idaho, B; Indiana, 10; Maryland
s; Montana, 3; Nevada, 3; New Jersey, u;
New York. 80; Utah, 3; West Virginia, z.
Total, 10S.
Now, go ahead with your figuring. There
are SO votes to be obtained to put the demo-
Gratis ahead and % to put the republicans
In, assuming that the division up to this
time is borne out by the results. But 1t is
believed to be fair division, based on ex-
listing conditions and the state of the vote
in the last election. What states will you
put in the democratic column and how
many in the republican column?
The Possible Combinations.
1t is readily seen that the democrats must
have New York. There are 10S votes to run
to; If New York's 80 are not given for Par
ker that leaves only SO, and the democrats
need IS. If Parker carries New York the
democrats still would have to get 40, and
would have the 50 votes Of Colorado Con-
necticut, Delaware, Idaho, Indiana, Mary
land, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, Utah
and West Virginia to draw upon.
If the republicans carried of the doubtful
list only New Jersey, Connecticut and Della
ware they would have just enough to win
Or they could lose these states and win by
carving Indiana and West Virginia, or In
diana and three of the four three-vote west
ern states, Idaho, Montana, Nevada and
Utah.
Now is the time for studying the combina-

COST OF THE MANEUVERS.
Army officers Engaged in Computing
Expense of the Sham Contests.

Lieut.. Col. j. A. Hull of the judge advo-
cate generals department has not yet COM
pleted his report of the damages incident
to the recent army maneuvers held near
Manassas, Va. He has gone far enough
into the matter, however, to ascertain that
the total damages will not exceed $4,000,
and may not run over $4,000. One of the
principal items of damage was the cutting
of wire fences during the two sham battles
of Bull Run.
The army paymasters have reported that
$190.0o0 was expended during the maneu-
vers to pay the officers and men of the
militia of the different states who took
part in the maneuverS.

WISCONSIN FOR ROOSEVELT.
La Toilette Will Win State Ticket
Milwaukee's Vote Significant.

special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
MILWAUKEE, Wis, October s.-There
have been no new developments of import
ance in the political struggle in Wisconsin
since the handing down of the supreme
court decision. the withdrawal OF S. A.
Cook from the head of the stalwart ticket,
and the substitution of the name or eX-
Governor Schofield. Major Schofieid q, $
candidacy is pleasing to the rank and file
of the stalwart organization, but neverthe-
less there is a feeling of gloom that is
breeding apathy and therefore contribut-
Ing to La Toilette strength.
This was shown in the republican eau
cusing of yesterday in Milwaukee county
for county officials. The city is counted a
stalwart stronghold, but the supporters of
the governor captured 1t, securing not only
the control of the nominations. but also
the control of the county organization for
the ensuing two years. This defeat Is sig
nificant
1t seems to indicate a disposition to ac-
cept the decision of the supreme court and
let La Toilette have the fruits of victory.
The prevalent feeling that Schofelds can
didacy is simply cloak to hide stalwart
assistance for the democratic gubernatorial
candidate will tend to defeat any Intention
of that kind. The state will undoubtedly
be carried by the La Toilette ticket. with
the Roosevelt and Fairbanks electors at
the head.
