Republicans Claim 500.
The republicans showed me their
canvass OF the state and while this
would indicate an overwhelming VIC
tory the most conservative OF the re-
publlcans placed the probable majority
at 5000.
1t will be recalled that Bryan carried
the state in 1896 by 500. that Harrison

However. Mckinley carried the state
by 5000; Taft by about the same fig-
ures in 1908 and Wilson by 5000 in
1916 Roosevelt alone carried 1t by the
record figure of 1900.
SO Il will be seen that an estimate
OF 4 900 to 5000 for Harding Is about
the normal republican majority again.
The reasons for the shift from Will

to find.
