Fighting Out" the Bees Nests
By ". H. WRIGHT, sylvester, Texas

CTION on the part Of every ener-
IA getic youth is provoked with the
4 - arrival Of summer with its chat
tering and twittering birds, its luxuri-
Gus grass and deep water pools. Among
the many diversions to which youth is
beckoned. none Is more rare, more in
teresting and more exciting than that
Of fighting, retreating and conquering
in the CORY battle against a big nest
Of mOlested bUmblebees.
The most serious drawback TO the
happiness Of the west Texas lad is the
lack OF strong nests OF fighting bum
olebees, for 1t is only occasionally that

But for the partial consolation of these
less fortunate youths We immigrants
from central Texas spin exciting
stories OF the days when We, too, were

TT WOULD SEEM, at this time impossible that
either Roosevelt or Hughes can receive a larger
popular vote than Wilson. Yet there is bare pos
sbility that either may be elected minority
president, lust as Wilson himself elected Hughes
indeed has fairly good chance to majority Of
the electoral votes.
It will help make the situation clearer If the fig
ures of 1912 be reviewed. Wilson received 62e3oOo
votes; Roosevelt 4.12OOoo; Taft 34e5,ooo; Debs
10000.
The Socialist candidate this year may be expected
TO poll 100000 votes; the increase will come partly
through the growth Of the country partly by with
drawals from the Wilson and Roosevelt strength Of
1872
The total vote will be around 16,5oO,0o0
With say 145OOOOo to be divided among Wilson,
Roosevelt and Hughes, what the probabilities?
Wilson ought receive practically the full strength
of his party support He is supposed to have received
100000 votes IN 1912 from Republicans and from IN
dependents who generally support the Republican party
but couldn't vote for either Taft or Roosevelt The
normal growth of the country should give him some
100000 additional 1912, but Hughes should
poll almost all the Republican and independentRepub-
lcan vote which went to Wilson in 1912 If this
method of figuring be correct Wilson should poll about
$4,000 votes this year He may, however lose some
TO the Socialists.
There IS no such feeling against Hughes there
was against Taft Roosevelt has such party follow
ing he had IN 1872 his personal following is prob
lent is large regardless of his Progressive party
backing.
