legged utterance, it declares:
The white democracy of the South
have read with some aStonishment
the speech of John w. Davis. the
party'S nominee for President, made
before the Negro Voters League of
Indianapolis, wherein he appealed for
complete equality, regardless of race
or creed. Mr.. Davis may believe in
placing the Degroes on an absolute
equality with the white race. but he
will find d few people who hold diff
ferent views especially in the South
When he puts in the word complete
we take it to mean just that. and that
he would advocate policy to the
whites wining, dining and inter
marrying with all races regardless of
color. We believe in white supremacy
Distinction among the races is not ac-
cidentaI but designed. Neither Is II
incidental, but is of vast import and
indicates the wisdom of the divine

Der Required to Put EIec-

BY E'REPERIC WILLIAM VILE.

Access has been had by this writer
to the confidential figures of one of
the Shrewdest Democratic politicians
In the United States. They indicate,
as he confesses, that unless the
Democrats and the La Toilette people
between them can take away from
President Coolidge at least 40 votes
now assigned him as sure" or
''proba BILE" there is little prospect of
throwing the election into the House.
New Gork's 40 votes would do the
trick, and in that State John w.
Davis is now bending all his energies
The tabula ton in question, which has
been made on the basis of the latest
and most authoritative informa tion
available, State by State, gives
Coolidge 3O7 sure or probable" votes
Davis. lS9 sure or probable" and
La Toilette. ~35 sure or probable"
The Democratic leader who has
reached these conclusions reckons
that Coolidge is certain at this hour
of only PA votes. But that calcu-
lation withholds from the Republican
candidate as merely probable" more
than half dozen States very con-
fidently claimed for the President by
his managers. To Davis are awarded
as sure only the solid South, minus
Tennessee, whose IL votes are classed

total is fixed at ia. La Toilette is
accorded only sure" total of 80,
with an additional 'probable" Of five.

Need of 4. Votes,

The Democratic chieftain, who i'm
parts these arithmetical condolences.
points out that If his party can
achieve the miracle" at this late
stage of the campaign. of robbing
Coolidge of AZ votes, the house Will
elect the next President of the United

cult. though not impossible. task If

and Nevada. totaling 43 votes, were
lost by the Republicans. either to La
Toilette or Davis, or split between
those two candidates. Coolidge would
have only 26i votes, or . below a
majority of the electoral college
The Democrat responsible for these
figures admits he belongs to the con-
servative wing of election prognosti-
Gators. He has worked hard for
Davis and Bryan, but does not think
their election is made any more Ger
tain by the erection of eleventh hour
air castles in their favor. He ac-
knowledges, too, that the elections of
1922 give ground for more sanguine
Democratic hope than he now sees
and he admits the fighting chance"
OF his being seriously inaccurate in
his somewhat depressing figures
What he recalls in this connection
is that the Democrats narrowly miss
eu NTtSllHS cOHlTol OF DOtn House
and Senate from the q. O. j. two
years ago, and that today 27. out of
IS State governors are Democrats

Wyoming-many States, in other
words, rather confidently claimed by
or conceded TO Coolidge.
Four Cardinal Reasons.
ITO what do you attribute the un-
satisfactory showing you make for
Davis" the Democratic leader was
asked, lin view of the Democratic
tidal wave of 1922"
THE answer is simple" he said.

able party strife. We have not had
anything approaching the campaign
fund that we needed. We have suf-
fered under inexperienced campaign
management-and La Toilette has
cut into Democratic strength far
beyond general expectations. These
four cardinal reasons are outweigh

equipment and high -caliber campaign
