A careful review of these fig
ures will show that in each of
these States named the Demo-
Gratis have a fighting chance.
Ohio has elected a Democratic
goveruor since 1904 and the Re-
publican party in that State has
been, and probably is yet, divid-
ed into fractions Indiana is ad-
mitted to be doubtful. Bryan
is pop ular in Iowa and the Re-
publican party in that State is
split. In Wisconsin the so-called
radical sentiment represented by
Senator LaFollette is strong and
if the Democrats do not carry the
State they will undoubtedly
greatly reduce the Republican
majority. California gave Bry-
an one electoral vote in 1896 and
the conditions in that State are
favorable for Democratic success
this year. In Minnesota Gov.
johnson has great influence and
he will make every effort to car
ry his State for the Democratic
ticket, Oregon, while normally
Republican, has recently elected
a Democrat United States Sana-
tor by popular vote, showing re-
markable political independence.
The States of Colorado, Nebras-
ka, Montana, Wyoming, Wash.
ington, Nevada and Utah gave
Bryan their electoral votes in
1896 and they are all debatable
territory this year. Of course,
it is not to be expected that the
Democrats will carry all OF these
States, but they can afford to
lose So out of 1872 electoral yote5
given above and still prove vic
torious. Shreveport Times.
