Who III BE PRESIDENT?


While the presidential election is
little more than two months off,
people have already began to figure
on the probable outcsms Of one Of
the greatest political BATTLES our
country has ever seen, and natural
ly there are various opinions as to
what may happen. But for the
benefit Of the skeptics who are firm
in the belief Chat the Democrats
cannot carry the opuhtry this fall,
the Star Herald proposes to give
some figures showing how easy it
Will be to accomplish this very feat.
Taking the solid south with a
total of 1866 votes tOv Bryan, the
Democrats are lacking 76 votes of
having enough to elect and row
have to go to looking into the
doubtful states for tAess eoVeted
seventy-six So let as see iust the
doubtful" territory that Mr..
Bryan would have ts carry ia order
to gain these seveWy ~N votes.
Norman +. Mack of New York
says Ohio, New York and Indiana
will go Democratic easy this fall,
and we believe aleY will. New
York is naturally a Democratic
state when the party leaders will
work together, aad Gle party In
this state this year presents a united
front, something il hasn't done be,
fore since it gave Cleveland such a
majority in 1897 In Ohio the Re-
publicans only have majority Of
two in the state legislature, and
they themselves admit that the
Democrats will carry the state elec.
tion this fall; a pretty sure indica-
tion that the sentiment there is for
Bryan Indiana is Democratic
state and united party there, as,
sisted by thousands of colored and
labor voters, makes it certain
Bryan and Kern state. New York
has 80 votes, Ohio has % and
Indiana has Is, a total of II votes.
Thus you see three doubtful states
could land Bryan in the White
House.
Then again: Progressiyeness is
taking place Of Conservatism in the
middle west, and Bryan has a
splendid chance of carrying the
following states in this section:
Illinois, 25; Iowa, 13; Wisconsin,
l3; Kansas, 10; Nebraska, s; Colo
RADIO, 8, South Dakota, 4. A total
Of SO votes and in states that are
in the habit of voting the Demo.
cratic ticket except when prosperity
is,offered. and the Republicans have
none to offer this year. This group
Of state. could easily turn the tide
and land Mr. Bryan in the White
House
Then take the following states
that are almost certain to cast their
votes for the Democratic ticket
