Battle Fought In Eighteen States.
This leaves eighteen states in which
the battle has ragged the fiercest. They
include the three border states of Mis-
souri,, Kentucky, and Maryland and
fifteen northern states, there being no
southern states in which there has
been any serious battle for the elect
oral vote.
It must not be understood that the
result is necessarily doubtful in all
Of these states. On the contrary, the
politicians understand perfectly that
many of them are as certain as those
which have been given in the tables.
They are grouped together merely to
show where the fighting has been and
where there is some faint chance OF
indecision as regards the results of the
battle of ballots. In the list are in

and Ohio Will Show How
Election Is Going.
If FOR TAFT, BRYAN CAN'T WIN
Sure Republican Vote Of the Nation So
Large That only a Landslide Can
Overcome Taft Lead-Bryan Can't
Possibly Win Without New York.

New York, Nov Sit is too late for
prophecy and too early for results.
What the people are most interested in
now is to find out the result of the
ment. In the early returns there fire.
quently are many things which con-
fuse the man looking at bulletin
board or reading dispatch on a rail-
road train. What he wants to know
is what is indicated by these early
returns, so that he can make a guess
at the result before the decisive tabu-
lation is made public. For the purpose
of helping people study the returns as
they come in. have put together a
number of tables which will be of use
tonight to every one.
PAP Electoral Votes Needed.
In the first place, everybody should
remember that there are in the forty
six states 1873 electors who vote for
president and vice president. For either
Mr.. Bryan or Mr.. Taft to be chosen
president Of the United States it will
be necessary for him to secure 242 OF
these electoral votes, which Is a bare
majority of the whole. The early prob
lem tonight will be to- find out just
how soon either one of the leading cam
didates passes that mark.
There are certain states which are
almost absolutely certain to go for
one or the other Of the two candidates
If any one of these certain" states
disappoints the expectations in regard
to it, 1t means of, course, that there
is on foot tremendous landslide the
existence of which has been entirely
unsupported up to the present time
Going thru the list, it is possible to
make up a table of states which are
reasonably certain to cast their cleo
toral vote for Taft.
Sixteen States Are Taft's.
There are sixteen of the forty-six
states which are generally conceded to
be republican, as follows:

If on election night any one of these
states shows signs of voting for Bry-
an it will mean serious danger to Mr..
Taft's chances for election.
Stronghold Of Bryan Forces.
On the other hand there are twelve
states which are almost positively
certain to cast their electoral votes for
Bryan. They include the solid south
and the newly created commonwealth
of Oklahoma, which votes in national
election for the first time today. This
Bryan list is as follows:

earliest states to report. They close
the polls early there and the system
of counting is such that the returns
are soon known. The great problem
in that state is to determine the bal
ance between the city and the country.
Greater New York, involving the two
boroughs of New York and Brooklyn,
with a few outlying towns, is. generally
heavily democratic. The country above
the Bronx is heavily republican. The
only question is to determine which
majority Is going to be larger than the
other.

Returns from Ohio and Indiana come
in fairly early. If the republicans car

torities it will indicate they have a
large percentage of the other states on
the doubtful list.
If M. I;ryan carries either or both Of
these states ii will show trend in his
direction which will make it worth

up late to get final returns, because

BRYAN Has Much to Gain.

To catch the significance of these
tables and to understand the drift of
the early returns it is necessary to
make a few comparisons which are
unfavorable to Mr.. Bryan because he
has so much greater a lead to over
come that Mr.. Taft. Comparing the
list of sure states with the necessary
majority of 242 in the electoral bal
lot it will be seen that Taft lacks only
fifty Eight votes while Bryan needs lis
ito make his election sure. The result
is that the democratic candidate can
win great number Of these states
which have been the battle section and
still be defeated.
This is important on election night,
because the wise political observers
will concentrate their attention on a
few of the pivotal states, and the re-
turns from enc or two Of them may
be sufficient to indicate the result early
in the evening. Experienced politicians
go farther than this. They watch the
ratio Of gains or losses in some one
state like New York, for instance, and,
after having figured out how that state
will go if the result is at all decisive,

produce the same result in the other
pivotal states, and thus they are en-
abled to get at the outcome of the
election, long before the general public
begins to understand the real signifi-
canoe of the early returns.

Women Fail in Eusincss.

Women as a class have not be-
come enmeshed in professional and
business life, which are about the
same thing, through their own de-
sires, but through the working OF
economic forces beyond their con-
troll, says writer in Appleton's. The
specialization of home industries has
altered women's status. and in many
cases forced them upon the world.
But in the world they are not
making the place for themselves that
they formerly held in the home. as
equal factors with men. 1t is clear
that, in the professions to-day, men
are quite equal to the demands.
There is no function OF leadership. in
other words, that any woman pos
sesses that some man cannot exercise
as we'll as she. The doors of oppor-
tunity are being closed to her again.

mean necessarily that the profession
al woman has failed. that she has not
earned a living, or made a reputa-
ton, or both, but that she has not
made herself an indispensable part of
professional life, factor of undis-
puted worth.
The opinion even of women on this
subject is strangely unanimous. They
are not satisfied with the position in
which they stand in business nor with
what they stand for. They have be-
come unsettled about themselves and
their ability to fight successfully
shoulder to shoulder with men, given
the opportunity, and are looking to
themselves, for wonder, to see if
the explanation lies within.
