You may think you are a superior
mortal, but keep it to yourself.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-11-01

spend his time in dreaming of love, writ ing scorching letters and attending every performance at the theater where Miss Taylor sings.
 A grizzled, wrinlSled, monkeyish-loolxing man, Lee has adopted all the artificial forms of adornment known to him. His hair is piastered with cocoa butter and Chinese oil, his clothes are sprinkled with sandal wood dust and the inevitable Chi nese musk pervades his garments. His overjacket is of silk-slashed broadcloth, and his pantalons of lowered satin. Lee is a sport. According to the reports in Chinatown, the old beau is spending his time in learning to eat noodles with fork in American fashion and to hold his cigar ette between his fore and middle fingers instead of pinched between the tips of his thumb and first finger. in true Chinese fashion.
 Miss Taylor declares she has never even seen the Celestial, who nightly adores her as she trips about the stage. He has writ ten ner three notes, all in Chinese, and these she had translaetd. They are works of art.
 Yesterday she received a package. whsb she opened it she gazed in wonder, for there lay pair of Chinese trousers the kind worn by Chinese women. 1liey were of black silk and highly emhrcder-
 
 ed. With the present came note ex pressing these tender sentiments:
 "Ohl my most beautiful lady who kicks her feet. Here are my wifc's .pani aloons. Now she must stay at home for these are the last she had. She can no longer tol low me to see where I go, and 1 am hap py To thee. most beautiful white lady, l give these most necessary women things which belong to my wife. Ot, 1-f about on the stage, all jumpy-jumpy, my eyes seem to swim and I forget even the glory of the sacred chicken. To me you are as beautiful as birds nest soup or the gall of deer slain in hte light of the moon. Farewell, most beautiful lady, who I must pay money to the ugly nan at the door before can get to look upon Farewell to the pantaloons of my wife.
 This eptstle almost dazed Miss Taylor but when she learned that birds nest soup and deer's gall are considered food for enl- perors, she began to appreciate the com pliment
 Another letter received by her from her celestial adorer had evidently been writ ten after long consideration, and wita the help of some educated friend. It reads:
 Letter to my most beloved lady. When you leave the sight of my eyes then 1t Is dark. This city of Los Angeles is all right. Please stay here forever. But still I can't help but miss you all the time. I hope you will send me token soon. My friends, oh, lady! say I am not pret- ty They are liars. oh. lady! Time Is agony to me. One day seems like three months.
 q hope you will sympathize with ny love. my heart and affection for you. love but the one dear lady. Be sure to protect your health. It Is time now to close. Remember, I kiss my little finger, thinking 1t is you; and my little finger has a long nail on it."

Doubtful States.

,oo Tn the electoral college there are 4S3 votes. and PAP are necessary to choice; If you give MT. Bryan all the doubtrul states. he will then be 29 votes snort or victory.

Total No.

 And, of course. other states than New York suffer These six states-Nevada Wyoming, Delaware. Montana, Idaho and utah-had a total vote of 325,299 in 1904 Their total electoral vote is 1S Califor- na's total vote in 1904 was 331 ,545 yet the state has only 10 electoral votes. Kansas with the same number of electors, boiled 324.5SS votes in 1904 Indiana, one of the pivotal states in this election, has only 10 electoral votes, and yet its total vote in 1904 was CPS, ,1S5, or more than twice the vote of the six states mentioned above.
 This condition results chiefly from the fact that the constitution. provides that each state shall choose "a number of electors equal to the whole number of senators and representatives to which the state may be entitled in the Con gress" The electoral college is. therefore. constituted exactly like a joint session of the House and Senate
 Even the smallest, Nevada. which had a population of only 42 .325 in 1900, has its two senators and one congressman, entitling 1t to three electoral votes. On the other hand, New York has but two senators and a congressman for every 194,O00 of popula- tioE under the existing ratio\ as estab- lished by Congress
 But there are other factors in the stu- ation. The practical disfranchisement of the negro in Florida accounts in part for the low figure of voters, 39, 329. as against four electoral votes. The same factor operates in all the southern states, which are represented in Congress on the basis of their population, irrespective of their voting strength.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-11-01

Few people understand our electoral sys- tenn. Those that do are against it. Why? Because under our electoral system the small state has the advantage of the large state. For instance, a vote in Ne vada will have as much to say in Tues

GREAT CAMPAIG CLOSES TOMORROW Both Sides Are Claiming the Victory MIR. HAGGARD'S ESTIMATE Gives Taft 27o, Bryan 1s7, and Doubt fuI 26-Hlstory of the campairn

MIR. -HAGGARD'S ESTIMATE
BY sEwELL HAeeARp.

New York, October S1.-The heads of the national committees of the two great parties have made their claims-both pro- fess to see victory ahead and the po- iitical canvass of 1908 practically closed tonight. The orators are done, with the exception of few last forensic efforts to be put forth tomorrow and Monday. Tuesday the people will decide, and, weighing the case in a calm, deliberate manner, 1t seems to be a foregone con clusion that William H. Taft will be tho twenty seventh President of the United States.
 The following figures seem to be as near accurate as one can get them in advance of an election:

A request of w. J. Long for per-
nit to erect a stable on Market
street between X and l. was referred

An ordinance regulating bill post
ing and advertising distribution was
passed that is rather drastic
measure. The new law requires all
persons to pay an annual license of
$3.50 in advance, and furnish a ST.
900 bond, before they can distribute
any sort of advertising matter. In
deed, under it's terms, the presenta-
tion Of a personal business card
might be construed as a violation Of
law. Regular established merchants
may distribute their own matter by
paying $40 a year for each person
employed in the work.
