NO ARMY LIFE FOR HIM.
Graduate of Wess Point Resigns His
Position,


Washington. May 14.-First of the
graduates of this years West Point
class to resign his commission, after
a brief experience as a soldier of
Uncle Sam, is Second Lieutenant H,
Ayers, Seventh Cavalry who leaves
the army today. Last year four Off
GERS resigned within three months af-
ter leaving the military academy.
This was considered an unusually
large number, and was partly respon-
sible for Mr.. Taft's telling this years
graduates that the war department ex-
pected them to stay in the army. 1t
was therefore rather unexpected that
Lieut.. Ayres would have so little diff
Guilty in getting his resignation accept
ed. Apparently the war department
is not going to stand on the letter Of
the law which binds a lieutenant to
serve eight years from the time of en-
tering West Point
In the early part Of the last century
there was a different feeling about
designations Of graduates. There was
so little change for promotion because
OF the absence of a rteired list that
many officers resigned. A classic ex-
ample Of his is afforded by the class
Of 1881, which had some distinguished
officers in 1t and numbered In all SS
graduates. Within six years after
leaving West Point % Of that years
class had left the service for other
pursuits. The first five Of 1881 re-
signed within five years after gradu-
ating. the sixth on the list died in
Florida in 1899, and the next two al
so resigned within eight years, leav-
ing but seven officers on the rolls.

The best man in eastern Washington
is not too good to be sent to the capr-

choice should not be governed by fac

man wants the job most or will beg
for it hardest. This district is not

him or his friends; it is sending him
there to work for the good of the In

This feature of the trials is by far

solve the problem of flight, went far
toward perfecting the necessary me-

SOME FORECASTS.

All over the country the newspapers
are beginning to add up the November
election returns.
Forecasting the possible divisions
of the electoral vote is one Of the pop
ular diversions of presidential cam
paign. Anyone can make a forecast.
1t may be a bowling absurdity or II
NAV be the result of careful analysis.
Summarizing the various forecasts,
it would appear that at the beginning
of the campaign Taft can safely figure
on 173 votes in the electoral college.
These will include the full electoral
vote of Maine, Vermont, New Hamp-
shire, Massachusetts,, Rhode Island,
Connecticut. Ohio, Michigan, WILSON,
sim. Iowa. Pennsylvania, Minnesota,
North Dakota. South Dakota, Wyom-
ing, Utah and Kansas.
On the other hand, it would appear
that Bryan can safely count on 166
votes to start with. This vote includes
the full electoral vote of Alabama,
Arkansas. Florida, Georgia, Louisiana,
Kentucky. Maryland, Missouri, Mis-
sissippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma,
South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and
Virginia.
This leaves a doubtful column COM
posed of 144 electoral votes, of which
number it will be necessary for Taft
to secure 50 votes or for Bryan to Sc
cure rs votes in order to occupy the
White House.
There are fourteen states in the
doubtful column. but of these Nebras-
ka, Colorado, Idaho, Nevada and Mon
tana with a total of % votes, can be
almost safely classed in the Bryan
column. since Bryan carried them all
in 1896 and carried. all of them but
Nebraska in 1900 The disposition this
year seems to be to concede his home
state to the Nebraskan, so this ad-
ditional % votes would raise Bryan's
total to 1873 or within "a votes of an
election.
The remaining states with their cleo
toral vote follows: New York, 80, Him
OILS. q, Indiana, Is; California, 10;
New Jersey, IL: West Virginia, q;
Washington, s; Oregon, 4, and Della
ware. 8, a total Of 1922
From this list of doubtful states,
several combinations can be formed
which would give Bryan the necessary
81 votes. New York and Illinois would
do it easily, as would Illinois, In
diana and New Jersey. Likewise would

Candidate Taft's efforts to plaza,

Candidate Taft's efforts to p1acate
the laboring vote is amusing, and his
statement that no labor leader can
swing the vote of a labor organization
shows with what frenzy he is working.
It is true that no labor leader can

portion of his organization, but it is
also true that since they are working
