terest partisans. Political experts nave
done much Analysing. and some claim
to have reached novel conclusions. But
these facts stand out:
On Monday. Sept o. 1912, the Repub
lican and third term parties combined
elected William Il. Haines governor Of
Maine over Frederick W rlaisted. the
present Democratic incumbent. by
3,O23 plurality; in 1908. Il presidential
year. a Republican was elected COVER
nor by 1868 plurality in 1904 the pin
rality was 25.S00. and in 1900 il was
"a, 1872 In other words. in twelve
years the Democrats have cut down
the Republican plurality in state cleo
tons by 81. 1O9.
In this period the Democratic vote
has increased from 10000 to 6S.Ooo.
whereas the Republican vote has de
creased from $4,000 to 1000 The
Democratic vote of this year exceeds
that of September. 1908. by 1000. but
the Republican vote is about 2,Oi'D less
than that party cast four years ago
The split in the Republican ranks
following the election of william L
Haines, is pronounced If the diyi
sion In Maine in November is as it
was in the recent Vermont election
six-tenths of the Republican vote will

The result in Maine may be expected
to be something like this: Wilson. IA

The returns from the recent Vermont
election show in round figures that
the joint Republican and third party
vote was 8 per cent short of the Re-
publican vote four years ago. while
the Democratic vote In that state

Republican and Democratic vote for

teresting figuring along this line. and
as net result 1t Is shown that under
the contingencies mentioned President
Taft would carry only two states in
November Rhode Island and Vermont.
all the others going for Governor vii
son. The conclusions reached by the
Post follow:
To compute this result we should
have to deduct 6 per cent from the
vote cast for Taft four years ago and
apportion the remaining vote in the
ratio Of 62 to 80 between Taft and
Roosevelt, and we should have to add
35 per cent to Bryans vote In 1908
and give the ''demnitiop total" to
Woodrow Wilson-in other words. give
Taft 81 per cent and Roosevelt 81 per
cent of Taft's vote -four years ago
and give Wilson l25 per cent of Bryan's
vote four years ago
The result In round numbers would
be as follows. so far as regards Taft
opd Wilson.

MILLIONS OF DEAD FISH
ARE CAST UP AT TAMPIC0
Supposed to Have Been Killed as
Result Of Submarine Vol
canic Disturbance.

Millions Of dead fish have been cast
up from the Gulf of Mexico, at Tampico.
Mex. and vicinity during the last ten
days. according to a report received yes
terday from American Vice Consul
Thomas H. Bevan by Surgeon General
Blue of the public health service.
Consul Bevan said it was supposed
submarine volcanic disturbance had killed
the fish, which range from six-foot tar
pons to eighteen-inch mullets. They are
rapidly decaying. The offensive odor mas
caused great discomfort. Much uneasi-
ness prevails, as an epidemic of yellow
fever is feared by the natives.
The yellow fever epidemic of 1902 was
preceded by similar conditions. Govern
ment troops are burying the fish but. SO
far, this has been done only in the I'M
mediate vicinity of Tampico. The beaches
where the populace goes Sundays for
recreation are absolutely putrid. The
waters of the Tamosi and PanucO rivers
are polluted with decayed fish matter
Tampico's water supply comes from a
distance up the Panuco river and, so far.
no reports of bad water have been made.
Surgeon General Blue said there was
little to fear that the conditions would
produce yellow fever, but the vitality OF
the people migh be lowered and make
them susceptible to disease.
