How Electoral Vote Is Likely To
Be Divided.

Frank R. Kent in BALTIC. Sun of Sunday.
Disregarding the bunk on both sides and
getting down to cold facts. it is beginning
now to be plain what was foreseen by few
in July, namely, that failure of the La Fol-
lette candidacy to collapse makes the
calculation on Coolidee's election risky
business.
Back Of their press barrage and the daily
Butler buster, the more clear headed Re-
publican leaders know their danger. and
tremble. So high Republican authority
as Col George Harvey openly admits that,
if the election were held today. Mr.. Cool
idge could not win. Thus, before October,
the effort to stampede the voters by i'm
possible claims collides with the facts.
The time is rapidly approaching when
the claims on all sides will be showed aside
and the situation faced as it is. Presi-
Dental elections are settled by electoral
votes. not by press agents or popular ma
jorities. Those who deal in political facts
now know that the 48 States can be
divided into four groups-those reasonably
sure for Davis. those reasonably sure for
Coolidge. those reasonably sure for La Fol-
lette. and those in which all three really
have some hope.
With no pretension of prophecy and TAX
ing only the concessions OF the three forces
made not for publication but honesty, it
is possible to make this division in way
to which all elements would privately
agree. When you 60 over the figures,
check them up and back, make due allow
ances for the undeniable fact that all
election forecasts are worthless. two con-
illusions still seem on form logically ire
sistible.
First-That the chances at this time are
against any candidate getting the neces-
sary 266 votes in the electoral college.
Second-That. if the election is to be
prevented from being thrown into Con-
gress. ii is easier to get this 266 votes for
Davis than for Coolidge.
Here are the figures

The Maryland Cora Crop.

Indications are that the Maryland corn
crop of 1924 will be the shortest in "a
years. If the present outlook will be re-
allied crop of 15.69O.O0O bushels may
be looked for. assuming average variations
to prevail from now to harvest This fore
cast is based on growing reports as of
September made to the United States
Department Of Agriculture. says John S.
Dennee. federal crop statistician at Balti-
more. Average production Of the past five
years is 25,500.000 bushels. At prevail
ing prices for corn the 1924 crop has a
potential farm value of SIG. 1851. 900 against
$50, 689.000 the farm value Of the 1923
crop, which was estimated by the Depart
ment at 25.23l.000 bushels.
Cold. wet spring delayed planting and
the crop got off late on smaller acreage
than usual Later on drought hampered
growth. Farmers say that II disaster in
the shape Of early frost should overtake the
crop, the present dismal prospect will be
still further dimmed.
Similar conditions have prevailed in
Delaware, and a crop of only 4.3ll.000
bushels is forecast in that State.
Conditions affecting the corn crop have
been bad in practically all parts Of the
country. The estimated condition Of 664
per cent on September for the United
States as a whole is lis below the TO- year
average. Only three times in the last 40
years has condition been lower at this time
of the year. Extremes of temperature and
rainfall have been unfavorable to the crop.
And it was planted late.

Mr.. Pemberton has selected an extremely

many say the road company compares
very favorably with the New York COM
pany, which played for one year in New

devoted mother, Arianna f. Atwood, who
departed this life four years ago, Septem-
Der goth. 1920.
When mother breathes her last farewell.
The stroke means more than tongue can tell,
The world seems another place
Without the smile Of mothers face.
Mother dear, how much we miss you.
Oh. how happy you must be in heaven
we trust.
With your loved ones gone before you.
Some day. mother, look for us.
Her suffering she bore with patience.
And often our hearts we're crushed
As we watched our dear mother wasting
away.
The one we loved so much.
Upright and just in all of her ways.
Honest and faithful to the end of her days.
Gone and forgotten by some she may be,
But dear to our memory she ever will be.
By her daughter and son-in-law,

What does seem plain from these figures
is that to be elected Mr.. Coolidge must
carry practically all the States in which
there is a real doubt. II Davis or La Fol-
lette, between them, get 81 out OF that 80
there will not be 266 left for Coolidge. II
he lost Ohio. for instance. he could not
win. Or il Indiana and Iowa, or Indiana
and New Jersey got away. he would be lost.
So it seems the certainty" with which
the Coolidge publicity agencies are so earn
estly trying to impressive people is actu-
ally cloak for a very great uncertainty.
In these figures New York is put in the
Coolidge column for two reasons: First,
because he would have no show at all
without Its As votes. and second. because
the general feeling is that he will carry it.
This feeling and the forecasts based on il
is, however, just as apt to be wrong as
right, and the Democrats by no means
concede IL.
As a matter Of fact, ii comes down TO
this With New York. Coolidge may still
easily fall short Of 266 votes. With New
York. Davis could easily be elected. The
thing apparently swings on New York. II
Coolidge carries il, he may win. II Davis
carries ii. he would be almost sure to win,
because with it would 60 New Jersey.
The Democratic conviction is that. when
the significance Of these electoral figures
sinks in, the independent, conservate vote
in the East. will swing to Davis as the
surest way Of preventing an election by
Congress, which, from the business view
point, would be a real calamity.
This is the situation as it seems now.
What il will be in November. when the

Increasing Cost Of Telephone
Plant and Equipment

1~~
ONE of our big tasks today is to pro-
~ vide the plant and equipment necessary to
meet the demands of the people of Maryland for
telephone service.
qEach telephone added to the system
requires additional plant and equipment During
the last five years the number of telephones
added in Maryland has been AZ, OOO increase
of So per cent. But the increase in telephone
plant during the period has been "a per cent.
Thus, while the growth in telephones has been
large, it has been greatly exceeded by the increase
in plant.
qStated another way, the plant per
telephone in service in 1919 averaged $500.
1t is now $4,000 and in 1923 it will be more
than $4,000 per telephone.
qYou ask why. 1t is because of the
present high cost of building pIant-first to ex-
tend the system, and, second, to replace old plant
built at low pre-war COSTS with plant built
at presentday costs
qThs process of extending and re-
placing plant and equipment is constantly going
on. It is part of this Compeny's obligation to
give service to the people of Maryland But
present rates designed to yield return,
not the average plant per telephone today,
but 1t stood in 1920.
gilt takes more net earnings now to
pay a return the property than it did in
1920 This is of the why we must
ask for moderate increases in rates.
