WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-With an
overwhelming democratic majority in

today indicate q probability of the

In the present light, forty -four OF

tables, especially Interesting at the
present moment, published In the sta
t~istical abstr act OF the United States,
issued by the division of statistics OF
the bureau of foreign and domestic
commerce, department of commerce
and labor. These tables. occupying
several pages of the abstract, present
the official record of the vote cast in
each presidential election as far back
as official records are available.
Congress passed, In 1887, an act
providing that state officials should
thereafter file with the secretary of
state certified statements Of the vote
cast in their respective states for elect.

elections, and the records thus filed
with the department of state we're
utilized in the compilation OF the
tables above referred to, thus making
them the first and perhaps only official
publication of the vote cast In presi.
Dental elections by states and parties
in each election since the en- actment Of
the law providing for an official rec
ord by the national government OF the
vote cast.
A study of these tables, covering q
full 20-year period, 1883 to 1908, pre-
sents many facts especially interest.
ing at this moment. The total vote
cast for presidential electors has
grown from II, 1881, 4O8 in 1883 to A.
SS7, 1873 in 1908. This indicates that
the vote OF 1908 was about 30 per cent
greater than that of 1883.
An examination of the totals in each
of the elections during that 2O.year
period, however, shows marked auc-
tuations in the number of votes cast
and in the increases during the four.
year periods from one election to an.
other. The total vote of 1892, for ex-
ample 12,043, SOB, is q gain Of about
six per cent over that Of 1888, and the
vote of 1896. IL. 1913, 243, is nearly Is
per cent larger than that Of 1892. The
vote of 1900, -. 954, SIS, lie about one
per cent In the excess of that of 1896,
and that OF 1904, Il. 523, 5l9, is actual
iy less than that of 1900, while that OF
1908, IA, 1877, lib, is about ten per cent
in excess OF that of 1904.
Should the percentage of gain in
1912 be as great as that shown by the
vote OF 1908. the total number of votes
cast would considerably exceed 49,.
600, 900.

importance Of One Vote.
New York Outlook

In order that we may not be led to
underestima ate the value of one vote
let US recall q case in point, and one
that actually occurred in Indiana be-
tween 1840 and 1850.
In De Kalb county, Indiana, when
the election day arrived, there was q
man who was In doubt whether to go to
Tue MIL or to n polls. Finally after
q certain amount of coaxing, he de-
cided that he would exercise his
right OF franchise and vote. He voted
the democratic ticket, and a democra.
tic member Of the legislature was
elected from his district by q MAORI
ty OF only n vote. That Legislature
elected a United States senator, and
by the vote Of the one member from
that district Mr.. flanagan was chosen
Mr.. flanagan took his seat In thu
senate, and was president of the sen
ate pro tenn. when the vote was takel
for the annexation OF Texas. On tn
floor the vote was q tie, and Mr.. Han
nagan's casting vote settled the ques
| ton 10 favor OF annexatiop: and thi
action brought on the Mexican war
which has so shaped the subsequen
history of our country.
This illustration certainly bring
before us an extreme case, but VIII
knows when another instance may OF
cur proving the same value of on
vote.
