Are These Republican
States of Eight Years Ago
Republican States Today?

William y. Wilcox, chairman ot lae
Republican national committee, is quoted
as having said in New York.
There is nothing to il but the election
Of Hughes"
Wilcox seemed called upon 70 supply a
foundation for this prediction. his inter-
viewer being from Missouri, just pos
sibly. and added the following
Remember that this is Republican country.
There are more Republicans IN ir than there are
Democrats. The Republicans outnnnost ne
Democrats In normal times By more t1an 4''.-
900 They outnumber the Democrats ~ MANY
states and the aggregate Of the electoral votes
OF the sure Republican states Is much gTea'-T
than the aggregate Of the electoral votes ot TIE
sure Democratic states.
II is only when the Republican party is
suffering from some untowar1 crclr1s'ance~.-
such as operated against it four years ago
that the Democrats have any chsDc" '' WIN 3
national election IN this country TIE trouble
with the Democratic managers n tEelr eN'rsFa'
CANT claims for victory this year is tHat they
are still thinking In terms of 1912, whereas Tbs
"a 1916 The Republicans are acting together
this year and they very much oltnunber the
other fellows.
II is perfectly obvious that M Mccormick and
his colleagues, in putting out their ex'raordi1arE
toral vote 10 Wilson In 1912 as Democratic, bur
the fact is that there were no more Democratic
states In 1912 than usual.
The Democratic leaders may have
made the mistake the Republican chair
man says they have made There is no
dearth of optimism in campaign times.
Whistling to keep up courage is also
practiced.
