IL in proportion to the number Of
voters in the State would be unfair
because the State that was most
liberal in giving the ballot to its
people would have long advantage.
The situation may be illustrated
by taking three States that have APP
proximately the same population and
the same strength in the Electoral
College, but that have different con-
ditions surrounding their qualifica-
lions for voting. Alabama has a
population just a little less than
California or Iowa; and on the basis
Of population gets twelve electors,
while Iowa and California have thir-
teen each, because they have slight
ly more people. Suppose, however,
that these three States had cleo
tors in proportion to votes cast. In
1912 Alabama cast 100000 votes;
Iowa cast 100000; California cast
$4,000. Iowa would have had four
times as much voice as Alabama in
making a President, and California
five times as much.
The disparity is much greater
when comparison is made between
Alabama and California as they vote
today. Alabama denies the vote to
half its men--the black ones; Cali
fornia gives it to all men and all
women. So, this year, on the basis
Of votes actually cast, Iowa would
have about four times the influence
Of Alabama, and California some
, thing like eight times. 1t would al
most eliminate the, South from real
Importance In the choosing of a
President. In 1912 the total vote Of
ten Southern States was consider
ably less than that of the single
State Of New York. To cut down
their voice in the selection of a
President would be manifestly I'M
fair; more than that, it would seri-
ously endanger the devotion of such
States to the Union.
Results attained through the Elec-
toral College system are, on the
whole, much more fair and represen-
tative than would be the results from
a popular vote-so long as the
popular" vote varies so widely as
now.

THE FUNNY FOREIGN COMMENT

Our British and German editorial
friends. who went to bat before they
were called, and struck out by COM
menting On the election results when
they thought Hughes was elected,
find that the joke was on them. How
ever, they were in no more uncom-
Portable scrape than a good many
American publicists Of greater or
less caliber, who were Sure too soon.
The comment of the foreign press
suggests, on the whole, more of ig-
norance about American conditions
than anything else. The Germans in
Germany displayed fear lest Mr..
Hughes. who is quite unknown there,
might be dominated too decisively
by Colonel Roosevelt. The British
press made the painful mistake of
yoicing some of the spleen that has
commonly been repressed, and a
number of newspapers made COM
ments on President Wilson that they
would be glad, now, to have left I'M
made. Still, on both sides of the
North Sea, the observations indi-
Gated a very real concern about the
attitude Of the American nation, and
sincere desire that this country
might continue friendly.
Germans in Germany commented,
on the whole, very much as Ger
mans in America voted: surprisingly

THE PRESIDENTS TRIUMPH

IreSluenC WILSON ID re-electtu,
with 272 electoral votes in his
column and chance to gain a few
more on completed and official re-
turns. But the probability is that
in the conclusion the total will stand
Wilson 272, Hughes $50. AS 266
electoral votes were needed to de-
eide, the election proves the closest
ever held, except in those coses in
which the Electoral College failed
to elect. at all, and the House of
Representatives had to select the
President.
1t must be set down as a personal
triumph for the President. His
party has lost heavily in the Senate
and House. 1t is probable that the
Democrats will control the new Sem
ate, but they seem to have lost the
House. They surely would have lost
the Senate as well, if the country had
been choosing an entire new Senate,
instead of only one-third the men,
bers of that branch. So the pro-
portions of the personal expressions
in behalf of the President are more
impressive than perhaps they have
ever been for any President. 1t is
mere conjecture thus far as to how
much Mr.. Wilson ran ahead Of his
ticket, in the country as a whole;
but in State after State there is a
monotonous iteration of the report
that the national ticket led the DEM
ocratic State ticket all the way from
u few hundreds to many thousands.
Gentlemen who, in the tensity of
excitement over the closest Presi-
Dental election in generation,
emit loose talk about frauds, cor
ruption, contests and the like, have
been doing neither the country nor
their parties any good. The country
is going to accept the result in good
faith. There has been no coniirma-
tion of any allegations about cor
ruption, either in the casting or the
counting of the ballots. The Demo-
cratic management made charges,
before the polling, that now sound
curiously hollow and silly. The Re-
publicans were getting ready, they
said, to buy the election. Later,
when it became apparent that the
result depended on group of very
close States, they charged that the
Republicans were getting ready to
steal it. A result which shows the
Democrats victorious, with the Pres
ident running far ahead of his party
strength, indicates how little ground
there was for either accusation. The
appearance of Federal judicial Of
ficers in conferences which aimed at
attempted interference with the
States business of canvassing their
own votes was in exceeding had
taste, and worse. Federal authority
has no right to intrude itself in this
affair. Each State has it's own ma
chinery, and each State is the ex.
elusive authority over the counting
and canvassing of its vote. The
threat of Federal interference was a
vicious performance. There was al
no hour the least reason to suspect
that the result would not be honestly
reelected by an honest count of the
ballots.
In the conclusion of the matter, il
must be said that President Wilson
has carried the country, and that
the Democratic party and it's policies
have been denied a vote of conf
dence.

SURPRISES IN THE VOTING

One of the early signs that some
thing astonishing was in the politi-
cal atmosphere, was the vote of Mil
waukee in the Presidential primary
early in the summer. President Will
son received an overwhelming in
dorsement from the popular vote
then cast. That he should receive
more votes than all other candidates
for Presidential nominations, on all
other tickets, was an eye-opener. 1t
made good many people marvel.
The most German city in the country
seemed willing to take especial trou-
BILE to indorse Mr.. Wilson. One ex-
PLANTATION was that the solidarity of
the German opposition to Wilson had
driven all the rest to support himS
more plausible was that there was
no German vote" when it came to
voting, and that the Germans di-
vided as always.
Now comes the election results
with list of such eccentricities, not
yet nearly completed. Wilson car
ried st. Louis, one of the greatest
German centers; the Republicans
carried Cincinnati by very low ma
jority, that city being another Ger
man center. The Germans are very
strong in Omaha, yet Nebraska goes
Democratic, though 0maha's Ger
man vote was counted likely to be a
powerful factor against Democratic
success in the State.
New Hampshire requires explana-
ton that is not at all obvious. If it
hasn't gone Democratic, it has come
so near as to make it, almost Demo-
cratic. Doubtless the, explanation
dates back to the States revolt
against the old Boston and Maine
regime which bossed it for many
years. Under Churchill, Bass, and
others, the protest took form; there
came an awakening; the State acct
dentally chose Democratic Senator
four years ago because Of the Re.
publican split; there was war pros.
perity in its industrial centers, and
the rural population may be assumed
to have been influenced largely by
the kept-us-out-of-war argument.

FORDHAM WORKS
ON ITS ATTACK
FOR GEORGETOWN

With two days of football work left
before the seasons hardest game with
Georgetown on Tuesday, the Fordham
coaches directed the bulk Of their ef-
forts yesterday to polishing off the
attack that it is hoped will upset the
Maroon's rivals.
For an hour the Fordham formations
were run through, while one or two
players stood on the TANKS or in the
opposing line TO try and break up the
plays.
Fordham's reserve material is not so
strong as il was earlier in the season,
and as the BronXmen will be greatly
oJtweighed by Georgetown, Coaches
Gargan and Moriarity are thoroughly
testing the secondary material.
Chubby Stewart, captain Of the 1915
prep eleven, ran the varsity for
while The little quarterback has not
plaved in three years, but he has lot
of football sense and is grit TO the core.
81 Perkins was still kept at centre
and he NAV start the Georgetown game.
The addition of Perkins has added beef
TO the line, but Frank Treanor, who
has been regular pivot man for two
seasons, made up in strength and
cameness what he lacked in weight.
The frst-string backfeld yesterday
was made up Of Mcnamara al quarter;
Dempsey and Erwig at halfback and
O'Connell at fullback.
The absence Of Huggenvig leaves
Coach Gargan with practically no sub.
stitutes for the line. Should any OF
the regular guards or tackles get
banged up Fordham's cause would be IN
a bad way

Princeton Expects to Use
Full Strength Against

Princeton, n. j., Nov. g. Princeton
had a taste to-day of the coaching that
has made Michigan football all that
it is.
Fielding II. Yost was on the field all
afternoon looking the Tigers over and
teaching them some of his own pet
plays. He is known as wizard at de-
veloping the offence of a team, and
came from Philadelphia to-day at the
in citation OF Keene Fitzpatrick His
business in the East is 10 see the Penn
game tomorrow, but his pure love OF
the game makes him seek a football
squad wherever he finds himself.
Only five minutes Of scrimmage was
given the varsity this afternoon
against the scrub. The squad seems 70
be back on its feet again, and should
play better against Bucknell tomorrow
than against Dartmouth. II was an eX-
tremely light workout for all the team,
and some were not even in football
clothes. Mclean and Ames did not re-
port at all, and the four best ends were
sent 10 the field house early.
Eddy will be back at quarterback to-
morrow, with Comey to substitute for
him. The latter probably will play a
good bit of the game, and he Will be
watched with much interest because
he has only been in one or two games
this season, although starting in prac-
tice. The rest of the oackfield is not
absolutely decided, but it probably will
be the same as in the Dartmouth game
briggs. Brown and Tibbott.
The old reliable centre trio-Captain
Hogg, Gennert and Nourse-will start
the game, but Bryan, Schmaltz and
Charles should get chance to play
part of the time. McGraw still leads
the race for the second tackle position
and will start. with Mclean, Highly and
Wilson at the ends completing the
