COMMENT ON STATEMENT.
Chairman Cowherd's statement repre-
sents the extreme limit Of the hopes or
his party associates. He fortlaes him
self against loss OF prestige as a po-
litical prophet by introducing his state
ment with the significant qualifying
phrase: AS the situation stands at

claIly subject 10 change in the last few
days of a campaign. and there is no in
dication that this year is any exception
20 the general rule.
mr.. Cowherd's uncertainty in making
his prediction IS shown In his admission
that Idaho. Utah. and Wyoming ARE
all doubtful as matters now stand.
The unusual extent OF his doubt on the
point is shown by his taking chances
that two out OF the three win be Demo
cratic. but failing 10 specify which two
