244 in the original table will leave
208. Connecticut is temporarily with
drawn from the list because the De-
mocrats claim that large number
of the working men in the munition
factories at Bridgeport and elsewhere
will vote for President Wilson. Ohio
is claimed by the Democrats because
there are many munition workers in
Cleveland who are, like the men in
Bridgeport, contented with the pre-
sent condition. The farmers of Ohio
and South Dakota, according to the
Democrats, have no desire for a
change of administration because of
the high prices they are receiving for
their products.
Republicans assert that the vote of
Indiana is certain to go to Hughes.
Nor is there any doubt among them
regarding New Jersey. In Delaware
the Republicans by their personal
rivalries have created complicated
situation over the United States SEN
atorship, but no doubt is felt regard
ing the three electoral votes of the
State. West Virginia is conceded to
the Republicans both the eight cleo
toral votes and the Senatorship.
The latest reports from New Mex
leo give her three votes to Hughes.
Republicans therefore insist that the
list of States which can be safely add
ed to the Hughes column lis increas-

Congressman Addison T. Smith and
Marlin J. Sweeley, Republican candi-
date for attorney general, spoke to
a good audience Thursday night. Mr..
Smith was the first speaker and de-
voted his time to a discussion of ma
tional issues. Mr.. Sweeley spoke on
state issues. He is very fluent, log
ical and pleasing speaker and pleas
ed the audience. He gave brief
history of his own public career and
convinced his hearers of his ability
to administer the affairs of the Of
flee to which he aspires. Following
his explanations of the state funds
and by whom spent, be brought forth
a chair and figuratively placing the
governor before the people, he pro-
ceeded to cross examine him. In the
course of his examination he brought
out statements and promises made by
the governor in his campaign of two
years ago, and then placed evidence
before him of what had been done
toward the fulfillment of these state
ments and promises, and the discre-
pancies which appeared brought roars
from the audience. In the matter of
saving the states money, Mr.. Swell
ey ridiculed the statements by the
governor that he had been response
bic for holding the money unspent,
showing very clearly that the COVER
nor had very small part in any of
the transactions where savings had
been effected. He denied the claim
made by Governor Alexander of be-
ing pioneer in the prohibition move
ment, and as proof offered the silence
of Mr.. Alexander on the question
during his first candidacy for the Of
flee of governor. The statement made
by the candidate two years ago con-
cerning the "yanking out" Of the of

Adding these forty-three votes to
the 208 which may be called the sir
riducible minimum" of the Republi-
can strength makes a total of 25l
votes, which is only fifteen less than
the 266 required to elect.
In New York, Mr. McCombs is max
ing campaign for the Senatorship
to succeed Senator O'Gorman on an
almost open anti-Wilson basis. The
strained relations between the Presl-
dent and the man who elected him
have been we'll known almost since
the day Mr.. Wilson entered the White
House. Mr.. Wilson's friends secretly
fought McCombs in the primaries,
and were defeated just as badly IN
New York as they were in New Jer-
sey, where they fought Mr. MARITIME
openly. Republicans feel no doubt
that Mr.. Calder will be elected Sena-
tor by an overwhelmingly majority,

forced to admit contradictory state
ments made by himself.

Hughes Leads.

According to the latest returns to
Republican leaders, based upon can
vases and inside information, Hughes
will command fully 296 votes in the
electoral college. The number of
votes necessary to win is 266.
Several weeks ago it was conceded
that at that time neither Hughes nor
Wilson had the necessary votes in
the electoral college. Mr.. Wilson
was given the solid South and Okla
homa, total of 1876 votes, and to
Governor Hughes was allowed total
of 244 votes.
AS basis for arriving at the pre-
sent conclusion, the following table
of usually Republican" States may
ha ceannad.
