Mr.. Editor
There is an old saying that fig

AS there is no law against figures
lying and liars figuring, and
judging by the amount of activi-
ty by both of these branches of
the human family it would ap-
pear that this is the open season
for Projectors, prophets, prog
nosticators a d prevaricators.
Therefore, | wish to further con-
tribute to the present bewilder-
ment and confusion by stating
herein that Mr.. Hughes will win
the little argument with Mr..
Wilson on November 7th, as he
will receive no less than 281 elect
orial votes, while Mr.. Wilson
cannot possibly hope to receive
more than $50.

he can probably get $50 ELECTORAL
votes, for in order for him to do
this the Republican majority of
1912 will have to be reduced
some 1850, 900 votes, a figure
approximating the entire vote of
