lSnpcial to The ArguS.l

Two methods of calculation may
Ne used in attempting to forecast
an election; either a table eDdeav-
ofing to predict the actual figures
which is more or less guess-work,
for nobody knows exactly how the
millions of voters throughout the
union will vote: or table contain
ing the irreducible minimum Of
electoral votes by which Harding
or Cox will be elected. Obviously
II is possible to make such study
Of the various states as to convince
the Investigator that combination
Of certain states will insure victory
or defeat as the case may be. Four
years ago, this correspondent pre-
sented a table showing the ire
dueible minimum of votes for Will
son. Everything else was conced-
ed to Hughes for the sake of calcu-
lation and it was the object of the
table to show that Wilson had just
enough to win.
Tables Answer Question.
Now irrespective Of what the final
pmcial table will show on the day
alter election, curiosity for the mo-
nent centers on the certainty or
uncertainty of electing Cox or Hard
Ing. Who, in other words, will be
the next president? That question
will be answered in the two tables
presented in this dispatch. In Or
der to bring out convincingly the
conclusion to which this writer has
come. be exhibits first a table show
Dg the maximum Of expectations,
(opes aad possibilities of the DEM
Focrats. 1t is a picture of Demo-
cratic optimism. Should that table
break down by 80 electoral votes,
Governor Cox will have lost the
election. For the table of Demo-
cratic hopes gives Cox 295 and
Harding 1856. Here is the best in
formation obtainable on how the
Democrats on the inside who think
Cox has a chance base their con-
clusionS:

|IDENTFY MAN
| WANDERER MAY
HAVE KILLED
Ragged Stranger" Dis
covered to Be John
Barrett, Canadian.

Chicago, Oct. 30-The ragged
stranger" for whose murder Carl
Wanderer is still under Indictment,
was identified today as John Bar
rett, ex-Canadian soldier
The Identification was made at
the county morgue by Herbert Pot
ter, also q Canadian, who said he
had known Barrett we'll for some
time prior to the murder.
He led detectives to the hotel
where he said Barrett had been
staying about that time and the
register showed John Barrett"
written daily until the day Of the
Wanderer murder.
In a confession introduced in the
trial, Wanderer said he hired the
stranger to stage a fake" holdup.
In the trial Wanderer repudiated
the confession.
Find Wandered Guilty.
Chicago, Oct. 30-Carl Wanderer
is guilty of numbering his young
wife and her unborn baby.
For that crime he will be SEN
fenced to serve Is years in prison.
Such was the verdict returned be-
fore Judge Hugo Pam last night by
IL jurymen who deliberated on the
case for % hours.
Wanderers guilt or innocence Of
the death of the ragged stranger"
who helped stage the fake holdup in
which Mrs. Wanderer was slain,
was not passed upon by the jury.
The death of the stranger is COW
cred by another indictment. The
state can bring Wanderer to trial
on that charge. but attaches of the
! court doubted last night that such
action would be taken.
Think He Is Sane.
The jurors decided that the red
haired butcher boy is sane. They
decided that he committed what AS
sistant States Attorney James C.
/ O'Brien- termed the most atrocious
crime in the history of Cook coun-
ty." And then they decided that
he should pay by serving Is years
in the penitentiary.
Il knew they couldn't crack me-
said Wanderer, as he left the court
room. Il owe everything to Ben
Short. He told me not to worry
and l knew I'd never swing"
The young man was in high spir-
its. An ovation greeted him as he
entered the third tier of cells in the
county Jail. The criminals held
there shouted their approval Of the
verdict.
The verdict aroused the ire o1
Judge Pam. He criticized the jury.
men,
"You have erred" the judge as.
serted. "You tell me now that yor
believed him insane. but that YOU
were afraid an insanity verdict
would not have kept him locked up
Why, men, l would have sent hin

error-you call him wife murderer
and say that he shall pay with q

Cork Quiet Today-Re
mains of Lord Mayor
Lie in State.

Cork, Oct. 3o.-(United Press. y
Terence MacSwiney's body lay in
state today in the city hall, where
in life he. had presided as lord
mayor Of Cork.
After a day in which the casket
was the cause Of fist fights, after
it had been rejected by Irish off,
cials at Queenstown and Cork, the
lord mayors remains rested in a
place of honor. They were claim
ed by relatives last night only aft
er military forces had threatened
burial in the Cork barracks.
Cork was quiet today. Addi-
tional soldiers were brought to
quell possible outbreaks but ap-
parently the extra forces were not
necessary. Authorities made strict
regulations governing the funeral,
which will be held tomorrow
Among the rules was that the only
Sim Fein flag permitted will be
that draped over the casket. The
funeral procession was limited to
one-quarter of a mile and no mill
tary display will be permitted.
The MacSwiney mourning party
reached Cork yesterday several
hours after the lord mayors cas-
ket had arrived at Queenstown and
then been forwarded here by an
admiralty tug. The party includ-
ed the mayors relatives and lead
ing Sian Feiners. including Art
! lO'Brien OF London and Arthul
0riflths. acting president ~.
Family Attitude.
The family attitude was at frs.
that the government had engaged
! in body snatch:ng in forcibly re.
moving MacSwiney's body from ths
funeral train at Holyhead yester.
day and forwarding it to Cork in,
stead Of permitting it to be landed
in Dublin for a funeral demonstra
i tion.
The Sim Feiners, acting on thi.
theory, refused to take the initia
| tive in reclaiming the body on ar
a., rival here. At Queenstown large
| crowd saw the packet Rathmort
steam up to the dock. Irish lead
! ers refused to take charge Of the
body in the absence of relatives.
After some delay soldiers trans
ferred the casket carefully to /
government tug which steamed VI
the Lee to Cork. The tugs flas
! flew at halfmast.
The bishop Of Cloyne was one O
the crowd at Queenstown who re
| fused to take charge Of the body
He led the population in prayer a.
| the tug puffed up the river toward
Cork.
In Cork the tug swayed gentl,
at its dock for several hours whil'
large crowds gathered on the qua!
for a glimpse of the canvas-cov
cred, flower-strewn casket on tn
deck. After the arrival Of the rela
tives and after the rumor got abou
that the body might be taken 4
the military burial ground, a hears
was sent for the casket.

By EUGENE y. DEBS.
Socialist Candidate for President.
Written for the United Press.)
Atlanta, Ca, Oct. 30.-This will
be my last word in the presidential
campaign. 1t is enough for me to
have been one of the standard bear
ers Of the working class. l regret
only not having been able to meet
the workers face to lace as in
other days.
If the earth and all it contains is
not for the people-not a handful
of them, but all the people-then
there is certainly a mighty mistake
somewhere that needs the Al
mighty's correction.
A very small, Insignificant minor
ity of the people practically own
and absolutely rule the United
States of America.
That insignificant minority has
it's seat of government in Wall
street and it is there that every
solitary federal Judge is named, who
lays down the law to the people.
1t is also there that the candi-
dates are chosen and the platform
written for the dominant political
parties. through which this insig-
nificant minority secures control oi
the government and rules the peo-
pie.
Every man and every woman
who votes the Republican or Demo
cratic ticket on Tuesday next reg
listers his approval of Wall stree,
and opposition to the people.
League Is Fraud.
The League of Nations is the big.
gest fraud Of all. Its purpose is tc
link up the insignificant ruling and
robbinEs minorities of several ma
tions md intrench information
capitalism more securely to insure
the perpetual minority rule of the
people and exploitation Of the
world. The issue is revolution OF
reaction.
The people all over the world are
in revolt against capitalism ant
slavery. Are you for or agains
them in the worldwide struggle t
break their chains?
The tocsin of war sounds tn,
death knell of capitalism and tn,
despotic rule of the insignifican
minority and the liberation of tn,
people.
In this and every. other politica
battle the Republican and Demo
cratic parties fight for the insignifi
cant minority against the people.
Workers Awakening.
The struggle today, as in age
past, is between the producers ant
parasites. The awakening worker
are rising from their knees, stand
ing erect in the consciousness O
their power, hailing one another a.
comrades across boundary lines il
every tongue of the race and tn,
| whole world is aflame with the so
cial revolution.
The insignificant minority of non
| producing parasites shall no longe
rule and wreck the world. Thei
time is up. They must now &c
and We Socialists are organized fo
that very purpose.
The people versus the parasites
That is the issue and the only on
issue that will confront you on elec
tion day,
