The employees Of the Phoenix Ma

with large watermelon which was
Purchased by them; they have 1t in

for the drastic move is that on first

was sought, but there was no melon.
Diligent search has revealed no clue
to its whereabouts. The Unsuitable

VOTE IN ELECTORAL COLLEGE.

In 1912 Wilson received in the cleo
teral college 495 votes; Taft, 8; Roose.
welt, SS. In 1908 Bryan received 1872
votes; Taft, 321 votes.
In 1908 Mr.. Bryan lost three of the
states generally called the solid south
Missouri, New Jersey and West Viz.
ginia, IS, IL and Z. He got the vote
Of Colorado, 5; OF Nebraska, 8; of
Nevada, 3.
A new appointment act was passed
in 1911, under which the electoral COL
lege has 531 votes, and it now requires
266 votes to secure an election.
It seems reasonably certain that the
solid south will be solid once more.
In his message to the pregressives,
Judge Hughes declares that the demo-
cratic principles disqualify them for
the proper conduct Of the government;
that there is something essentially
wrong in the doctrines Of self-goverH-
ment home rule and states rights, and
that these doctrines prevent the prop
er conduct of government by any dem
ocrat. This is a new crusade against
the rights of the states to control In
local affairs It is countenanced by
like declarations from Mr.. Roosevelt
and MIR. Wickersham.
If the south is solid it will cast 1917
votes for Mr.. Wilson, as follows:
