SOME FACTS OF
INTEREST In VOTE
OF THE SOUTH

The Ave border states that were
slave territory at the beginning O.
the civil war are now Republican In
their aggregate vote. In reviewing
the present political situation In
what has been called the south Il
Is necessary to make two groups Of
the sixteen states, and to note the
significant fact that one OF the two
groups has become Republican. The
i've states In this division, Mary
land, Delaware. West Virginia, Ken
lucky and Missouri. In the recent
election gave Taft $4,000 and
Bryan $4,000. In 1896 their vote
was. Mckinley 1000. Bryan 1884,
600. Here is net Republican gain
OF $4,000 In the five states. The
Republicans carried West Virginia,
Delaware and Missouri and divided
the electoral vote OF Maryland. Ken
lucky gave Bryan plurality Of
$500. Last year II elected a Re
publican governor. Geographically.
legitimate portion OF the south.
Maryland, Delaware and West Viz
ginla are rather a part of the middle
states, while Kentucky ana Missouri
belong to the central west.
In the other group OF southern
states. the eleven that passed ordi-
nances OF secession, the prominent
fact In the election OF this year is
their increased abstention from
voting. Their aggregate vote I'M
1908 Is much smaller than II wa
in 1896, and this fact Is true OF
both parties. as II the habit were
contagious In the states OF Ala
hama. Arkansas. F.oriia. Georgia
louisiana. Mississippi. North Caro-
lima. South Carolina. Tennessee.
Texas and Virginia the vote for
Bryan this year was 5000. I'M
1896 Bryan received there 1.433,-I
600. The decline is heavy. I'M
these same states Taft received
$4,000 against $4,000 for Nc
Kinley In 1896, which is also al
large reduction. The total vote OF
the eleven states was 100000 inI
1905 and 2.2i0,000 In 1896. a de.
cline OF 10000 in twelve years. No
doubt these eleven states have been
growing In population. But voting
with them has been going out OF
fashion. and their failure to cast Al
ballot has never been as marked az
In the general election OF this year.
The stay-at-home army Of voters In
the solid south Is much more than
half It's total electorate.
In each OF these eleven states. ex-
cept South Carolina. the Bryan vote
In 1908 was smaller than In 1896.
and In each. except Arkansas. the
Tart vote was smaller than the Nc
Klnley vote In 1896. the year OF a.
great outpourlng OF voters on ac-I
count OF the financial issue. IL the
Republicans OF Virginia. North Caro-
lima ana Tennessee had equaled this
year their vote Of 1896 they would
have carried their states. But as
the total vote OF the eleven states
was only I.5SO.O00 in an aggregated
OF nearly 100000 for the entir,
country, Il Is evident that one OF thel
leading lessons for the south In the
recent election Is that the states that
have been stamping out all but one
party have also been destroying the
disposition OF voters TO go to the
polls at all. Another lesson OF these
figures is that there are a great
many Republicans in the old slave
territory and that the party there is
gaining on the Democratic party
Globe-Democrat.
