successfully besieging the town
OF lsmail, his imperial mistress,
Catherine, H., tried her hand at
divination by cards, and told
Potemkin that the cards pre-
dicted that Ismail would fall in
three weeks.
Il can beat the cards." said
Potemkin. Then he sent for
Suvaroff, and ordered him to
take Ismail in three days. And
Suvaroff did it.
If Suvaroff had consumed three
weeks in taking the town, Cath
arine would have had q strong
apparent case for claiming that
the cards had given q true reve-
lation and observation-disclosures

Potemkin, by setting up a bulls

that the card oracle was firing

within the United States into two
great geographical regions, one OF
which seems likely to be strongly
pro-McAdoo and the other Of which
seems likely to be much colder
toward him. ~ tr
Where He Is Strong.
The first OF these. regions consists
Of the States south Of the, Potomac
and west Of the Mississippi.
Throughout this region there seems
to be little doubt remaining that
McAdoo will be extremely strong.
The States in this region will have
in the Democratic national conVen.
tion a. total Of $50 votes.
The McAdoo supporters claim
with some reason. that the present
prospect is, that from among these
$50 votes McAdoo in the convention
will finally have more than 400.
These four hundred alone would
be enough to prevent any other
candidate from, having the two.
thirds majority necessary to a
nomination. They would give Nc.
Adoo a high strategic Importance
In the convention.
Meanwhile, however, in the con-
vention there will be the delegates
from the region which lies east OF
the Mississippi and north Of the
Potomac. The fight in the Demo.
cratic National Convention Is going
to be in certain way highly
sectional fight.
The delegates from the States
east Of the Mississippi and north
of the Potomac, where the great
industrial interests Of the United
States are centered, will most of
them begin their activities in the
Democratic National Convention by
being either vigorously hostile to
McAdoo or at least extremely doubt.
full of him.
Division Of Delegates.
1t is an extraordinary fact that
from among all the States in this
region the McAdoo managers them
selves bring forward no claim to
the prospective support Of any one
that all that they at this time ex-
pect from these States is. that in
many of them they will get some
part of the delegation.
These States together will have in
the Democratic national convention
a total Of 512 votes. There are only
seventeen Of these States, but they
are so populous that between and
among them they will have almost
as many delegates in the Democratic
national convention as will be had
by all the remaining thirty-one
States South of the Potomac and
West Of the Mississippi.
In a general sort of way 1t will
be a case of the industrial East and
center of the United States against
the agricultural South and West,
with organized labor throwing it's
weight toward the sentiments of
the South and West.
This is precisely the kind Of situa-
ton which made Andrew JacNson,
of Tennessee, President of the United
States: and William Gibbs McAdoo,
of Tennessee, showing that nothing
in politics Is new and that every
thing in politics, has been done be-
fore, is simply trying to follow along
in Jackson's footsteps.
