Both these straw votes were tak
en in the North' and one would ex
pect either 0 them, if fecllning in
either drection, to favor Hughes
rather than Wilson. eYt their un-
announcement is that the
odds are all in favor of Woodrow
Wilson. If Hughes.-wins, says . the
Herald, it will fee by a very narrow
margin. On he .other hand this In
dependent New York paper avers
that there is a possibility 61 a land
slide for Wilson.
The s'ze of Wilson's majority will
depend upon the outcome n such
'doubtful" states as New York, In

' POLITICAL LEADERS
(Br Unlte'4 ires)
r New York, Nov. Tomorrow the
American voter will Bay who shall
be the next President of the United
States. He will dictate who shall
compose the Senate, and choose the
members of the Houbo of Represen
tatives. Viewing the situation today, with
claims of cocksure victory from
both parties, it appears . that the
people of New York, Illinois, Ohio
and Indiana hold he balances in
meir power.
Both Democrats and Republicans
claim this "big four" of states.
Their total In the electoral college
is 113, nearly 43 per. cent of the 266
votes necessary for decision of
choice.
The strongest Repablicans are
willing to concede a solid south
for Wilson. The southern states to
tal 136 votes, not . including Mis
souri and Kentucky, which are con
sidered by 'Republicans as debat-
ale.
In the presidents rate, there
fore, Wilson haB a handicap of 136
votes to start in with. However,
Hughes is conceded -the 70 votes -of
Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont,
Rhode Island, ' Pennsylvania and
Iowa. -
Although there are five national
ticket in the field, and one lone
vice-presidential aspirant, ' it Is cer
tain that only two of these tickets
will figure very largely in the vote
counting. . . . .

of the heart, mind and spirit were
the "hallowed things" of every one's
life, which Tieeded constant culture
