Friday, October IT, 1910.
An unlucky day, If the stars be read
Alright. Venus, Saturn. Uranus and Mars
are all in malefic aspect.
Women should be most circumspect un-
der this rule, which makes men cautious
concerning marriage and encourages de-
Ception and disappointment.
There is a sign making apparent many
faults in the modern training OF girls and
these will be much exploited by reformers
who will occupy much space in the public
prints.
1t is an unfavorable day for weddings
or philanthropic enterprises.
Modistes, milliners and all who sell mer-
chandise that appeals especially to women
should be wise about business matters
during this week, as losses will be easily
incurred.
Hotel proprietors come under a sway
tending to reduce profits and to bring
about new conditions, especially at win
ter resorts.
During this confguration Mars may
produce irrttability and a tendency to
quarrel Hasty speech should be curbed
and a serene mind assured as far as pos
sible
The rule is bad for all diplomacy and
for decisions of moment on any public
question.
Mars gives warning that surgeons,
chemists, dentists and all who alleviate
pain will have an unusual amount of
work in the next few weeks. The stars
will affect the teeth as we'll as vital or
gans
During the winter new sports, or old
sports revived, will occupy attention.
Again extremes will be apparent in all
forms of social life. Contrasting with
want among the poor great extravagance
will mark the amusements of the rich.
The death of a young woman who con-
trolls great wealth is prognosticated
Accidents in all large cities will be nu-
merous during the winter and a new in
terest in the conservation Of human life
will be awakened.
Persons whose birthdate It Is should
not travel or remove during the year.
Business affairs may cause trouble
Children born on this day may be rest
less, fond of change and too much given
to pleasure. These subjects of Scorpio
usually have strong characters and keen
Judgment.

These actual results brush away the
fantastic claims that President Wilson
is going to carry half the Northern States.
The claims have been made that the
Democrats will carry Pennsylvania, and
yet the enrolment made within the past
week in Philadelphia was 24254S Republl-
cans and only 35.679 Democrats.
The actual primary returns indicate to
me that the Republicans will carry these
groups OF States
New England-A votes.
Middle States-1Oo votes.
Middle West-1a votes.
Pacific Coasts votes.
Either no primaries have been held, or
no results are available in the Rocky
Mountain group, consisting Of the States
of Idaho. Utah, Wyoming, Montana, Colo
rado, Nevada and New Mexico, casting
thirty votes. Four OF these States, cast
ing fourteen votes, are dependably Re-
publican, and four, casting sixteen votes,
usually are Democratic.
The Southern States, Alabama, Arkan-
sas, Florida, Georgia. Louisiana Missis-
sippi. North Carolina, South Carolina,
Virginia and Texas aggregating ia elec-
toral votes, are Democratic beyond ques-
ton.
The Dakotas and Nebra ska form a group
consisting OF eighteen votes, Of which
the two Dakotas, with ten votes, are re-
garded as safely Republican, while Ne
braska- with nine votes, is debatable.
The remaining States, Kentucky thir-
teen), Tennessee Ctwelve). Maryland
CeighO, Missouri (eighteen), Oklahoma
(ten), and West Virginia (eight). may be
classed as debatable with indications at
this time that the Republicans will get
thirty-four and the Democrats thirty-five

Chairman Republican National Committee.
New York, Oct. 26.-The result Of no
election can be certainty until the
votes are counted. But there are always
prediction pointers which indicate al
most unerringly what the result will be.
There have been many polls taken
showing various results, but the only Of
fetal indications of the political trend in
the country have been in the primary
elections These, in all the States where
the battle between the two political par
ties is being fought out, show an over
whelming Republican sentiment.
For instance, in the primary of the
State of Washington, 2l4OOO Republican
votes were cast, and only $4,000 Demo-
cratic. It is said that some Democrats
voted for Republicans who will vote their
own ticket in the November election. 1t
is inCOnceivable that 100000 Democrats
voted thus in the primary election, which
would have to be the case for the Demo
Gratis to win.
Wisconsin, Michigan. Illinois, Kansas
Ohio. California, New York and New Jer-
sey all show the same Republican trend
