 This is the opinion held by the lead ing democrats in congress after a careful analysis o' the situation
 Speaker Clarl, has carried in con ventiOns or in primaries. enough or the doubtful states 70 insure his eloc- ton in the event of his nomination. should he carry the same states in November
 Taking thc primary vote of states in which Clark has contested with other asplrants for the votes Of the people, CIark's popular majority Is nearly 100000. He has carried solid ly the states of Arizona. Arkansas. California Colorado Idaho, Illinois. iowa Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Nassac:i c:iusetts. Missouri, Montana. Ne- braska. Nevada Nc= Hampshire, New lcxico Rhode Island, Washington, West Virginia and Wyoming Tn ad- diti0n to this remarkable phalanI of states he has a majority Of delegates in LOuisiaua, Michigan and Tennessee with half of the vote Of the state uf Oklahoma.
 in this list of states. California. Col orado Idaho. Illinois, Kansas Mary yand. Missouri. Montana, Nebraska, Wyoming and West Virginia are pro uerly Classed as doubtful states no matter what the Chicago convention might d0 for whether one man or another should bc nominated al Chi- C. SO. the detection from the repuhll- can ranks would be sufficient to make these states fighting ground for the democracy and therefore these are doubtful states Their total electoral vote is Ill.
 There are 5S2 electoral votes, of which the successful candidate must receive 2G7 Whoever is nominated at Baltimore is certain to carry Ala bama. Arizona. Arkansas. Florida, Georgia. Louisiana. Kentucky Missis. sipr.. North Carolina Nevada, New Mexico. DEdah;ma, south Carolina. Tennessee, Texas and Virginia, with total electoral vote Of l5g.
 Those who have followed the con. test for the democratic nomination must regard as significant the amaz- ing strength Of Clark in so many of tine doubtful states. for he has ear ricd T of the IS states commonly Classed as doubtful NO other can didate for the democratic nomination will have al Baltimore a single doubt, ful state in which Clark has contested for the states delegation Against any Republican nominee. Clark is prac r#caIIv certain to carry in November the I doubtful states he carried in the primaries. He can. Of course, carry every democratic state. This would give the Speaker. as the Democratic nomiucc 2I0 electoral votes. or more ghau the required majority in the electoral college. not taking into aC count the seven doubtful states in which his name was not presented to the democrats sn the local pTimar ics that preceded the election Of dele gates 70 Baltimore These states arc Connecticut DeleWarc. Indiana. New Jersey. Maine. New York and Ohio.
 This is . most remarkable showing Certainly a candidate for the nomina tiou who SO couclusiyely demonstrates his strength in doubtful states tha he has carried. can carry other doubt fui states in which he has won { number Of the delegations or in oth or doubtful states from which he vii have votes at Baltimore. No Otne candidate for the democratic nOmina tion can muster the certain and fix cd strength iu the election Campaigl that the speaker has already show in the campaign for the nomination.
