" oodrow Wilson by the largest cleo
toral vote ever received by candl-
cate. The next House Of RepTesen-
tatives will be Democratic by an over

tons are that the control Of the Un-
tied States Senate will pass to that
rarty. In the division of electoral
votes, as indicated by the Herald fore
cast, Governor Wilson will receive
$50, President Taft 27, Mr.. Roose-
welt Z, and 1877 are placed in the
doubtful column. There are 53l
voyes in the Electoral College and
2e6 are necessary for a choice.
fnvnaaSf
Herald has had a persoDcl poll Of
,319,321 voters, by Tar the largest
number that has ever expressed a
preference in prediction canvass.
This poll has been supplemented by
the observations and the conclusions
of experienced po,;tical reporters,
who have gone into every county OF
every de5ataole state, and talked
with men in every walk Of life.
In the division Of the electoral
votes as result of the canvass, the
Herald has given to Governor Will
son 126 from the eleven Southern
states, which are conceded to Gov
ernor Wilson. They are Alabama,
Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisi-
ana, Mississippi, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and
Virginia. Added to these are the

the canvass indicates that Cove mo!
Wilson will carry:

Missouri, 1S; Nebraska, S; Neva "a,
3: New Mexico, 81; Mex York, 45;
Ohio, a; Oklahoma, 10; West Fir-
ginia, 8; Wisconsin, 13.
This will make total OF forty-one
states for Governor Wilson. with all
electoral vote Of $50, or ~ more
than are necessary for \ choice.
To President Taft b; been given
the following states with their cleo
toraI vote:
Idaho, 4; Maine, s; New Hamp-
shire, 4; Rhode Island, S; Utah, 4;
Vermont, 4. Total, q.
To Mr.. Roosevelt has been given
the state of Washington, with seven
electoral votes, where the women Vot-
ers will undoubtedly decide the con-
test.
In the doubtful column has been
placed the following states with their
electoral votes: ,
California, 13; Colorado. 6; ILL
rois, 20; Michigan, IS; Montana, 4;
New Jersey, IA; North Dakota, 5:
Oregon, 5: PENNSYLVANIA. 3S; South
Dakota, 5: Wyoming, 3; Total, 1877.
In the larger Of these states, Penn
sylvania, Illinois, Michigan, Callfor-
mia and New Jersey. the contest ap-
rears TO be between Governor Wilson
and Mr.. Roosevelt. New Jersey, the
home state of the Democratic noml-
rec. has rot heretofore been placed
in the doubtful column. Later re-
rorts indicate drift toward Mr..
, Roosevelt. and while it is not beleV-
ed to be extensive enough to menace
the chances of Governor Wilson. the
stcte has been put into the doubtful
rrlurn. California, classed by the
P-os-essives as a sure state FOR Mr.
Roosevelt, is truly doubtful. The in
1ico lions are that Governor Wilson
will carry the northern part OF the
state, and Mr.. Roosevelt the south
ern sccticn
II all the doubtful states there IS
? silent vote larger than ever before.
, There have been rumors on the clos
; ing DAYS Of the camnaign that this
would swing to Mr. Roosevelt. The
F1e-a!d has me- de every possible et-
fo~. to determine II this vote was 60
ing ore way and Is unable to IND
what it IS. In illinois. Michigan and
perrev!~ania the conditions vary In
tho different sections OF the state.
The re7o-ts show they are even more
likely to 20 for Governor Wilson than
! for Mr.. Roosevelt. but they have been
.l,ce7 IL tho doubtful column.
The cne thing which stands out IN
ol1 the rerorts. and which may be
! TIE determining factor Of the elec-
ton. is that the Dem ocratic party is
nractica,!v united. while the Repub-
lic~n rortv IS divided.
The Evening Post to-day saws:
