IL: North Dakota, 5; South Dakota,
5: Wisconsin, IS. La Follette's total,
35.
Has Twenty-Four Surplus.
The electoral college consists of 531
votes. of which 266 are necessary to
a choice. Mr.. Davis. according TO the
foregoing table. could lose twenty
four votes and still be the victor 1t
will be noted that the tabulation
gives Coolidge everything east of the
Mississippi with the exception of Ohio.
Indiana and West Virginia and the
south. Davis gets everything west
of the Mississippi, except Oregon,
Wisconsin. North and South Dakota
and Iowa.
In 1916 Wilson carried Ohio and
New Hampshire. but neither West
Virginia nor Indiana. He carried
North Dakota which would appear
Toilette column. 1t will be argued
Immediately by stanch Democrats
that the east is by no means lost to
Davis, and that if AL Smith runs for
Governor of New York he may swing
the Empire State into the electoral
column for Davis. The Republicans
viii by no means concede either Ohio
or Indiana as lost to them. West
Virginia, being Davis home state, is
likely to go Democratic.
Conservation May BE Stressed.
Californians will contend that Cool
idge will carry 1t because he showed
himself strong in the prima ries
against Hiram Johnson but IL will be
best to await the development Of the
interesting contest going on between
the regulars and the Johnson wing of
the Republican party before reaching
conclusion. So, in Indiana, the
verdict of the people on the admin
istration of Gov. McCray, who now is
in the penitentiary. is giving the
Democrats hope. AS for Ohio, Harry
Daugherty may be an issue there. just
as in the western states Teapot Dome
will be revived to the discontinue
of the Republicans. The east already
has digeSted the oil controversy and
forgotten it. but the west is much
more interested in conserva ton of
natural resources and ali that goes
with 1t. Theodore Roosevelt won the
west that way, and he was by no
means radical. Davis may make a
Roosevelt plea on conservation He
viii, at any rate, carry the fight into
the heart of the west. It's his one
big chance.
Meanwhile. the rise in the price of
wheat and corn is making the Re-
pubiicanS optimistic. The most that
can be said of the campaign at its
beginning is that ie starts with a
sharp line of cleavage between the
contented east and dscontented
west and at the moment the chances
Of victory for either party may be
said to be even.

cred from his head by circular
saw into which he fell in the course
of his duties at the Scott Hendricks
Lumber company, at Argyle, near
here, early Tuesday afternoon, Clyde
Bowen, twenty three year-old white
man, calmly gathered together his
unfaltering courage and placidly
sang, and later told his comrades
of the whereabouts of his relatives,
while they waited for his death,
which was expected to come within
a few moments.
AT noon today, he was resting cas-
ily under the influence Of stimulants
and was said to be in a semi
sciOus condition.
Immediately after the accident, a
call was sent to Waycross for an
undertaken, it being the belief of
attending physicians that he could
not possibly live more than a few
moments. All during the waiting,
endless minutes, for the end to
come, the unfortunate man kept up
his marvellous courage, singing and
talking with those about him. He
is said to have asked for some wa
ter with which to wash his face,
seeming not to realize that it was
gone. Bowen was conscious for
some time after the accident. He
was brought to Waycross on a late
afternoon train and taken to a local
hospital where everything possible
was done for him.
In a semi conscious condition, he
seemed to realize some of the things
that went on about him and once
or twice raised his hand or fHnched
when touched by those attending
him. Physicians, however, hold out
no hope for the unfortunate man.
His relatives in McRae were no.
titled as soon as possible, and a
brother was very soon in an auto
