THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE.
Intense Interest in Outcome in at
Least One Big City.

Chicago H., Oct 22.-Political head
quarters, republican, democratic. pro
hfbition and socialist. are now deep
in the study of the electoral college, a
subject that flashes briefly once every
four years and then plunges into an
oblivion disturbed only by makers of
almanacs. Not since the Hayes-Tiljen
episode has the public concerned itself
much about the electoral vote by
which in reality presidents are made
as Hayes was made in the exciting
contest. or unmade as Tilden was by
one vote-which his adherents still de,
clare to he questionable. The cleo
toral vote for Hayes was recorded 1856,
for Tilden 1874. In 1904 the electoral
vote for Roosevelt was 1856 against 140
for Parker, whereas the popular vote
was: Roosevelt. 7.620.670; Parker, g.
G80207. In the days of Andrew Jack
SON the total popular vote cast for
both candidates was only 1.156.32S.
which is only 700 900 more than Chi

Washington, D. c., Oct. 22.-Presi'

today that he will recommend four
battleships to the next congress. The
occasion for the declaration was the
visit to the White house Of j. Davis

1000 to 5000 men are out of work and
the delegation was appointed to ask
the president for relief.

IF you democrats had voted for
four battleships, every man would now

to have said. The lack OF work, 1t is
explained, results from the ~conserva-
