THE POLITICAL SITUATION

{. The most interesting development Of
the week is the assertion of the Demo-
cratic managers that Woodrow Wilson
can be elected President without the
aid of New York, New Jersey, Indiana,
Ohio, or Illinois, the five large States
which are now regarded as fighting
ground.
This prediction is based primarily
upon the practical certainty that four
States in the West, hitherto solidly Re-
publican, will this year give their cleo
toral votes TO the Democratic candi-
date. These States are California, Ne
braska, Kansas. and South Dakota,
with a total OF thirty-six electoral
votes. In California there will be no
opportunity for Taft Republicans to
vote for electors. The court decision
gave the Republican emblem to the
Roosevelt electors, and the Republicans
naturally declined TO ask for place by
petition under an independent emblem
. Hundreds of thousands of voters will
be disfranchised unless they vote the
Democratic ticket for the first time in
their lives, for they will not vote for
the Roosevelt electors. The probability
is that they will vote Tor Wilson so as
to bury Roosevelt as deeply as possible.
The same situation exists in Nebraska
and South Dakota. while in Kansas,
where there are Taft electors. the feel
ing on the part of regular Republicans
is so bitter against Mr.. Roosevelt that
large numbers OF them are likely to
vote for Mr. Wilson. in order that Mr..
Roosevelt shall have no chance of car
rying the State. No one unacquainted
with the feeling in the States where the
Roosevelt electors have persisted in
masquerading under the Republican
emblem can even imagine the bitterness
OF the feeling against the third-party
candidate There are thousands of Re-
publicans who look upon him as a party
wrecker, and they are determined that
if the crash comes ne shall find moth
ing TO lay as fattering JUNCTION to hi,
soul.

This analysis of the possible outcome
of the election was undoubtedly given
publicity in order to impress those vot-
ers who, being of indecisive mind
would naturally be attracted by band

There are, 81 course, some flaws in
the calculation. 1t is by no means GER
tain that Wisconsin will 60 for vii.
son. 1t is true that Senator La Toilette
is actively antagonizing Col Roosevelt,
and is not supporting Mr. Taft, but
this does not mean that Republicans in
Wisconsin will vote for Mr. Wilson
On the contrary, there. is feeling
among large number of them that il
Wisconsin should 60 Democratic this
year, that result would be laid at SEN
ator La Follette's door, and would Sc
riously handicap him should he seek the
Presidential nomination at the hands of
the Republican party four years hence.
1t is quite possible, therefore, that they
viii vote the Republican ticket, and an
undertanding has already been reached
that if the Republican electoral ticket
is chosen, the electors will vote for Mr..
Taft.
A somewhat similar situation exists
in Missouri, where Gov. Hadley, after a
long period of incubation, has hatched
himself out as supporter of President
Taft. Gov. Hadley, like Senator La
Toilette, has Presidential aspirations,
and i Is quite essential for his politi-

Then they count upon Wisconsin, where
Mr.. La Toilette. who is against both
Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Roosevelt. has a
large and loyal following. and upon
Minnesota, where there are Taft and
Roosevelt national and State tickets in

two States they will have twenty-five

in their column Arizona, and Colorado,
which they carried four years ago; Del
aware, Maine. Nevada, New Mexico
and Oklahoma, which also went Demo-
cratic in 1908, and West Virginia. These
States aggregate forty-two votes,
which. added to 2e6, would give Wood

more than the required majority.

there is some awakening in the country.
There would be more activity if there
was not a prevalent belief that no mat
ter who is elected good times will con-
tinue. There is a feeling that pros
perity is the gift of God. This. Of
course, is true only in a limited sense,
because while there were bumper crops
in Cleveland's time, corn and wheat
sold for little or nothing, factories were
closed, and enforced idleness prevailed.
Policies and laws have their effect upon
the material condition of the country.
There is some realization of this fact,
but, on the whole, it is not making a
deep impression upon the country. If
the election were two months distant.
instead of three weeks, there would be
more chance for the fact to permeate
through the public mind. =

DISCUSS DOCK
AT HIGHLANDS
Speculation Whether Patten
Line Will Build One.
speosal to TIE EVENING NEWS.

cpect0f 70 thc f6NANu We U1
Highlands, Feb. 1.-The proposition
of the Patten Steamboat Company for
building a dock at the foot OF Miller
street, is being discussed again by the
people Of the town to a great extent.
This subject has been the topic OF dis
cussion every spring for a number OF
years.
This year those who are most loud
in their efforts to have a dock built
at this end of the town are more con-
fdent than ever that by the time the
boats are ready for service in the early
spring that the much coveted dock will
be built. they claim q big boom to
the lower end of the town will result.
The steamboat company as far as can
be learned has not as yet given any
answer to this question that has so
often been put to them.
