FIGURING ON THE CHANCES IN
VARIOUS STATES.


Even assuming the prestige Of Cox
VIII overflow the borders OF Ohio into
indiana and corral the labor vote
there and the wet vote and the fol-
lowing which the organization OF
Tom Taggart, candidate for United
states Senator can mobilize for the
ticket this year, few Democrats enter
tain the slightest idea that any Demo-
cratic candidate could carry Illinois.
SO with Cox splitting the East and
deriving little succor from the West,
the table above gives a generous scat
tering OF States east OF the Missis-
sippi to the Ohio Governor which,
together with California and Montana
and the solid South. would not be
sufficient to elect him, but would put
Harding In the White House.
But Gov. Cox's chances to be Presi-
dent of the United States are never
theless even, for a change of only
one or two States in the foregoing
table would put him above 266 and
bring Harding below the majority
line. Supposlng, for example, the
third party nomlnates La Toilette or
anybody else pleasing TO the Nom
Partisan League, the chances are bet
ter than even that they will split the
Republican vote which is largest in
the Northwest, and then the normal
Democratic vote would probably ex-
ceed either half of the Republican
strength, thus giving Minnesota, or
North Dakota or Wisconsin to Cox.
IL Cox won Wisconsin, his total would
be 267, and II he won only Minnesota,
he would have 266, either OF which
totals would elect him President.
ELECTION MIGHT BE THROWN
INTO THE HOUSE.
On the other hand, that doesn't, by
any means, end the capacity OF the
third party for turning things upside
down. Should the candidate OF the
third ticket carry Minnesota, Wis
consin and North Dakota, which
would mean a total OF thirty electoral
votes, the result might be to give
neither Cox nor Harding a majority
and throw the whole thing into the
House of Representatives for decision.
Unquestionably, as things stand to-
day the contest Is close one and
the third party movement while in
significant In its effect upon the East
ern or Middle Western States, has
potentlalities for harm to the Repub-
llcan Presidential ticket In Wisconsin,
North Dakota and Minnesota.
All the calculations are based on
the assumption that Cox favors light
wines and beer for home use only as
proposed by Tammany and the other
states which dictated the naminatlon
OF Cox. This is an assumption which,
In the absence OF refutation from Cor
himeslf, will be further intensified by
party workers eager to corral the
largest wet vote possible. Should Cox
steer clear OF the Prohibition question
and suddenly take the same position
as Harding on II, there will be moth
ing especial TO compend him To the
voters OF New Jersey, or Indiana or
Maryland, where the inclination is
Republican, all other things being
equal,
The evening world., 1920-07-12

In compiling the foregoing table, no
EFFORT was made TO consider any Of
the so-called doubtful States as GER
tainues but Ohio, Indiana, Missouri,
Montana were placed in the Demo-
cratic column because Gov. Cox
would, II the election were held to-
morrow, be apt TO have better than an
even chance OF carrying the States
either because OF his wet inclinations
or, as In Ohio. because OF his record
as Governor.
Similarly Now York and all the
New England States as well as Illi-
nois and the majority OF the Western
States, are placed for the moment in
the Republican column because Sena-
.or Harding would appear 20 have
better than an even chance az carry
