Figures on Tennessee Result

uANo Ohf ANhtCooIC Ahtottt
While the theft of ballot boxes and
the delay in the count by the fling of
contests has prevented a full official
vote for President in the contest in
Tennessee the official count in all re-
ported counties and carefully estimated
votes In the two or three missing
counties show that both the democratic
and republican vote turned out better
than was at first expected.
Governor Wilson will receive 132,50o
against 1876. sos for Bryan in 1908. The
Wilson vote will only be 2 per cent be-
hind the Bryan vote. The republican
vote fell off 4 per cent and was divid-
ed between Taft and Roosevelt at a
ratio of 81 per cent for Taft and 40
per cent for Roosevelt. The total re-
publican vote will be 1898 for Taft
and Roosevelt against III ,977 for Taft
four years ago. OF the vote this year
Taft will be accredited with 57,760 and
Teddy with 55,490.
By reason of the almost equal divis-
ion of the republican vote between Taft
and Roosevelt, Wilson will have a ma
jority of $4,000 over the President, but
his plurality will fall slightly under
20, 600.
Governor Hooper will have e-third
less majority this time over Benton
McMillin than when he ran against
Bob Taylor two years ago and received
a majority of 11,7s0.

Mississippi in the XIV International
Congress on Hygiene and Demography,
which meets in Washington in Sep
TENDER Governor Brewer has accept

DR.. w. S. feathers, Director of Pub
lie Health and Sanitation of the State
Board of Health, is taking an active
interest in the congress, and he has
written letters to physicians in all
sections of Mississippi urging that
they become members of the congress
and thus be entitled to own the print
ed proceedings of the meetings. In
HIS lelLeIS LII. LedtueTS emphasized
the Importance of this great conven-
ton which is TO meet in the National
Capital, when he said:
THE Congress with its accompany
ing exhibition on health to be held in
September will be undoubtedly the
greatest school for health officers and
those interested in health matters,
ever brought together in the United
States, and the profits which the coun-
try as whole and the separate states
may expect to derive from this Con-
gress, will depend far more on the
presence at the Congress of influential
delegates than on the contribution of
any amount of mere exhibition mate |
rial. The values provided for the use
of the people of Mississippi will be
returned to that state in the medium
of men rather than in illustrative ma
terials which the state may pack up
and carry back to Mississippi as
freight"
