What Bryan Must Gain
Kansas City Journal (Rep.)

Men who make a business of horse racing
place a great deal of dependence upon
what they term form Sheets" which are
records OF the past performance of the
various racers. Indeed a form" is about
the only guide to intelligent gambling at
the race track. In the present political
campaign there are two principal entries
for the presidential stakes. One entry is
entirely new to the field, but the other
is an old campaigner and there is a world
Of dope" from which to approximate his
form" While Bryan was never a winner,
yet he made certain records that are worth
considering,
There are 4S3 members of the electoral
college this year. and the winning candl-
date must have 242 in order to be elected,
II Bryan is conceded the solid south-al-
though there is considerable doubt about
Maryland and West Virginia, with Mis-
souri, hanging in the balance-he will have,
including these not strictly southern states
and Oklahoma, a foundation Of 166 electoral
votes. In order to win he must have forty
seven votes, represented by all the west
ern states he carried in 1896 plus twenty
nine votes that he must secure from the
doubtful column-New York, Ohio, In
diana or Michigan. II Bryan has the solid
south, all the western states he carried
in 1896, which were Colorado, Idaho, Kan
Omaha daily bee., 1908-10-31

sas, Montana Nebraska, Nevada, South
Dakota, Utah, Washington and Wyoming,
he would still have to carry either New
York alone or two of the remaining CEN
trail states. New York has thirty-nine cleo
toral votes, which would be more than
enough.
But here is where Bryan's form sheet
is useful. The way the situation lies,
Bryan must carry all the western states
he carried in 1896; but some Of these states
are claimed as certain for Taft. South
Dakota was carried in 1895 by less than 200
and Wyoming by $50. In the next presiden-
tial campaign Mckinley carried Kansas
by 1859. Nebraska by 1872. South Dakota
by 1882, and also Utah, Washington and
Wyoming. In 1900 Bryan carried Colorado
by 1000 900 less than in 1896, and his plural
tiles were reduced in many other western
states. New York is depended upon as
necessary for Bryan to win. 1t gave n Nc
Kinley plurality of 26S 600 in 1896 and 143, 00
in 1900. Roosevelt carried New York over
Parker by ITO, 900. Ohio went for Roosevelt
by 255,00O, and four years before had given
Mckinley $1,000. Indiana went republican
in 1896 by $4,000. in 1900 by 5000 and in 1904
by $4,000. With such q record 1t requires
a vast deal Of optimism to figures even a
good fighting chance for Bryan. Yet II he
carries New York he has that chance.

The closing hours of the campaign
are always devoted to the spreading
of wild rumors and unfounded charges
by the democrats. This is a good time
to pay no attention to any sensational
story concerning the republican ticket
or the prospects for its success. Vote
1t straight and you will not regret it.

The Canadian Way.
Boston Herald

A general parliamentary election up in
Canada is practically equivalent to a pres
idential election in the United States. The
complexion of the Canadian Parliament de-
termines the character Of the government.
and the premier's authority is scarcely less
than that Of our president As goes the
Canadian Parliament so goes the country.
