The Electoral Vote.

The electoral college of 1912, based
on the rev apportionment, will have
531 votes. The number necessary to a
choice of President and Vice President
| is 226. In 1908 there were 483 cleo
toral votes, of which Taft received 321
and Bryan 1852.
There will be forty-eight votes more
in the electoral college this year than
the number cast four years ago. The
States in which there has been gain
in electoral votes are as follows: Ala
bama, u, a gain of one; Arizona, 3, a
gain of three; California, 13, gain Of
three; Colorado, 6, a gain of one; Flor
ida, 6, gain Of one; Georgia, Ia,
gain of one; Idaho, 4, gain OF one;
Illinois, 80, gain Of two; Louisiana,
10, a gain of one; Massachusetts, Is, a
gain OF two; Michigan, Is, gain of
one; Minnesota, u, a gain of one;
Montana, 4, gain of one; New Jer-
sey, IA, gain of two; New Mexico, 3,
gain of three; New York, 40, gain
of six; North Dakota, 5, gain of one;
Ohio, "a, gain of one; Oklahoma, 10,
a gain of three; Oregon, 5, gain of
one; Pennsylvania, 3S, a gain of four;
Rhode Island, 5, a gain of one; South
Dakota, 5, gain of one; Texas, 20,
gain of two; Utah, 4, gain of one;
Washington, z, a gain Of two; West
Virginia, s, gain of one.
The electoral vote in the States in
which there has been no change since
1908 is as follows: Arkansas, 8; Con-
necticut, z; Delaware, 8; Indiana, Is;
Iowa. 10; Kansas, 10; Kentucky, 10;
Maine, 6; Maryland, 8; Mississippi, 10;
Missouri. g; Nebraska, s; Nevada, 8;
New Hampshire, A; North Carolina, II;
South Carolina, 9; Tennessee, II; Yer
mont, 4; Virginia, u; Wisconsin, Is;
Wyoming, 8.
Ordinarily the electoral vote is divid
ed between the Democratic and Repub-
lican candidates. This year it seems
probable that the Progressive party will
receive some electoral votes Should
such be the case it will be the first time
since 1892 that third party has at
tanned this distinction. In 1892 Gen.
]. B. Weaver, candidate of the Popu-
lists for President, received twenty-five
votes in the electoral college Courier
