THE NEXT ELECTORAL COLLEGE.

desperate struggle over New York's

IS nothing new, for New York has long
been the pivotal State.

the Republican party before the Ma

S AAAAAS VI Ii COhSuS LII 1917.
Arizona and New Mexico will not
merge, and yet both have more popu-
lat1on than was considered sufficient
when Idaho, Montana and Wyoming
were admitted. Both have never been
a State 40 years. The trouble is, Ari-
iona and New Mexico would go Demo-
cratic, and so they must stay out Of the
union while the Republican party is in
power. In the last census year Arizo-
ma had 122, 1000 Inhabitants. and New
Mexico had 1875, 900. This was eight
years ago, and the population in both
has been largely increased.
But no matter what fair play NAV
call for, there will be no action by
Congress, and the two territories will
remain territories until after the next
Presidential election, and the Demo-
must therefore secure lob North
ern electoral votes in order to win.

Gratis Of Anegany County think they have

publicans-John. J. Bell and LLOYD /,
shaffer, the latter by COS at the election
last November.
The Democratic nomination for Con-
gTess in the Sixth Maryland district has
practically gone begging for years. The
Democrats think they can induce Mr..
Young to accept with considerable hone
that he will win in the race, counting
upon Republican dissatisfaction alleged to
exist, especially in AIlegany County.
Mr.. Young is a man of much magnetism
and possesses a fine personality. He
makes a good speech and is considered
one of the best campalgners this county
has ever produced. He is prominent in
the Methodist Episcopal Church and the
Young Mems Christian Association; is
superintendent of the Sunday school of
Center Street Church. He was elected one
of the lay delegates 70 the general con-
ference of the Methodist Episcopal
Church. which is shortly TO convene in
Baltimore. He is prominent in secret or
ders, and is past grand warden of the
Grand Lodge OF Maryland. Independent
Order of Odd Fellows. He was once a
travelling salesman.
He is president OF the Commercial Saw
lngs Bank, Cumberland. and is one of the
owners OF the Maryland Shoe Company
which has large wholesale establishment
in Cumberland. Before going on the road.

Prominent Democrats say Mr. Young
can be induced 10 accept the nomination,

the Republican majority in Garrett coun-
