This leaves eighteen states in which

southern states in which there has

IF FOR TAFT, BRYAN CAN'T WIN

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
election at the earliest possible mo-
ment. In the early returns there fire.
quently are many things which con-
fuse the man looking at a bulletin
board or reading a 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
tonight to every one.
PAP Electoral Votes Needed.
In the first place, everybody should
remember that there are i'll the forty
six states 4s3 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. it means. of, course that there
is on foot a 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

Greater New York, involving the two
boroughs of New York and Brooklyn.
with 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.
New York and Ohio EARLY.
1t also will be seen that If New York
state goes for Taft he will be so near
an election that he will be almost GER
tain TO pick up enough votes from
some of the other states which are
classed in the battle-ground list. On
the other hand, Mr.. Bryan might win
New York and he would still have to
win one state after another in this list

Returns from Ohio and Indiana come
in fairly early. If the republicans car
ry either or both of them by fair ma
iorities It will indicate they have a
large percentage of the other states on
the doubtful list.
& If Mr.. i,r5an carries either or both OF
these states it will show a trend I'M his
direction which will make it worth
while for the average citizen to stay
up late to get final returns, because
lit will show at least that he is doing
much better than he did either of the
times when he ran before.

W.T. y ' ' ' ' v Y
Bryan Has Much to Gair

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 115
ito make his election sure. The result
is that the democratic candidate can
win a 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 che 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,
assume that the same conditions would
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.
States Which Forecast Outcome.
There are half dozen states which
between them have 100 electoral votes.
They will be worth watching tonight,

ready reference The test states line
