DISPELLING THE FOG

Republican campaign strategy a
the present stage of the political stu
alton appears to have resolved itsel
into Il sort of treasure hunt. The two
G. Q. p. is not in for another SOUND
trouacing next November, and some
interfering futilely in state primaries
That deep political commentator
Mr. Mark Sullivan, claimed one o,
the prizes the other day. He discover
cd, elaborated and published that il
there were five per cent shift i
sentiment in certain districts TIL
party of which he is a distinguished
rropagandist would win thirty seat
in the House of Representatives
Thirty additional Republican Con
gressmen would not make dent IL
the Democratic majority. 1t would b,
something like winning thirty cents in
the mo t cnte tanning feature CT tht
argument. Mr.. Sullivan glutton fo
statistics surveyed the vote in al
districts where the Democrats won
the last time by five per cent mar
gin, calculated, by some system CT
higher mathematics which he does not
reveal, the recession of Roosevelt pop
ularity, and so achieved the desired
result. L would not question the accur-
acy of his statistics for moment, or
the definiteness of results-provid
ing his premises were accepted. How
ever, the five per cent theory, below
ed by political figure jugglers, can
prove almost anything For example,
a five per cent change in the vote of
a single state would have made Char
les Evans Hughes the war President
instead of Woodrow Wilson. Before
that shift of five per cent of the
votes in selected states would have
elected William Jennings Bryan prcsi-
dent.
The Magic of Per Cent
Five per cent of the delegates to
the 1920 Republican convention
would have nominated General Leon
ara Wood or Governor Lowden had
they changed at the correct period of
that Convention. Of course, to get
that result you would have to pick
the delegations, much as Mr. Sullivan
picked the congressional districts to
achieve his Q. E. D.
By the same token, this magical
percentage applied to certain dele
cations, might have so aided tire
"s stop Roosevelt" group at the Chica-
go convention in 1882 that the ballot
ing would have gone on indefinitely
and possibly have brought about an
other nomination on the John w. Da
Wis order.
These maybe-so and perhapses
could be enlarged without limit. A
change of a single vote-approximat
ely one per cent of the Senate would
have made Pat Harrison majority
leader instead of Alben Barley. Five

AS time grows shorter in THE MOST POPULAR BABY CONTEST, everything is on edge, the contest ants, racing to make strong finish during the space that remains; the CONTEST MANAGER, swamped with votes that must be checked for the official court. the baby editor, unable to keep pace with the adding machine and the confusion of lead- CTS visits to the office with their ballots.
 It is all very hectic. And the baby editor, aware that the leaders must know pretty well how their stand ings have increased since yesterday, (merely by counting their additional votes at 200 for every subscription to THE DEMOCRAT asks that the contestants allow him & little leeway in keeping the schedule of standings up to date.
 Want Job?
 If any contestant would like to have a good-sized job next year, now is the time to apply for the post of assistant to the baby editor. That is, if they can combine the writing of a daily story with the chore of keep ing the stands up to the minute by check with the day before and the votes submitted by the CONTEST MANAGER for addition as they arrive.
 Doesn't sound so easy, does it? And it isn't easy. AS matter of fact. the standings are bound to run behind day or so while the subscriptions for which the votes are counted are

listed and the carrier boys instructed to deliver the papers.
 Hard to Keep Up
 Some of the contestants fail to understand that the reception of the votes and the announcement of the standings must often be a part by hours, so far as up-to-the-minute accounting is concerned. One req son is that the baby editor cannot change a story every hour or so to include votes which may arrive late in the day.
 At any rate, tomorrow will see 8 change in the standings and the counting of votes of some of the leaders. For today, the standing of yesterday, showing Anthony Borrelli leading Margaret Lemere by about 5000 votes for first place, is re- printed.
 Both Leaders Gain
 Both of the leaders have addi- tional votes which will be added to- morrow and may change the stand ings by considerable amount. Just how it will be tomorrow, the baby editor doesn't know as he is not prophet and telephone calls de- manding information cannot change this aspect of the situation.
 The CONTEST MANAGER is in charge of counting the votes and the baby editor merely tells about the changes as they are submitted to him. And the CONTEST IS very close and is very successful. Watch for the new standings tomorrow!
