Out 48 state*, the Democratic
dope-sheet for the comine election
concedes the party of Lincoln and
Garfleld and Roosevelt just 10.
That many, with a total of just 98
doctoral votes, is conceded the
O. O. P.
Os the remaining 38 states and
435. electoral votes, 23 states with
249 votes jre confidently set down
ps sately DemoOrrUfe.
Fifteen states having 185 votes
fire put into the "dtSWrtfw” dSlrffnn.
These are the states where the
pftttle royal will be wased to insure
the additional 17 votes needed—on
the face Cf this -advance computa
tion—and to pile up a safely sub
stantial majority.
AS evidence of Democratic "cock
saredness," one notes that in
ettdfttoh to ‘the "Solid south” thft
pope sheet—made when the Demo
cratic candidate Is *tm anybody’s
bet—places in that party’s "cer
tain" column Arizona, Delaware,
Indiana, Maryland, Missouri, Mon
tana, New Jersey, New Mexico.

Those states, with their even 100
electoral votes, will, however, be as
confidently claimed by Repub
licans.

tion out of Wisconsin’s probable |

no small extent, states set
S. over Into the ’doubtful’ column
have been so placed because of the
expectation of a schism in Repub
lican ranks, led by Senator La Foi
lette and aided apd abetted by such
“ra4ios)s" as BrOOkhart, Norris,
Ladd, Frailer, and Congressmen
Frear and Nelson.
In event an independent or third
party campaign is waged in mid
west agricultural states. Demo
■crStt'A Count on it merely splitting
the normal Republican vote and
allowing them to walk away with
the electors.
That, however, is not the view
taken by either the regular or in
dependent groups in the G. O. P.
As they see it, the seeds of IHsur-i

the new Unidh Central Life Insurance
Company's building in Cincinnati, Ohio,
pas beto installed to bathe the structure’s
Upper stories in a protecting curtain of
water !n cnee of a severe fire in the neigh
borhood. The sprinklers are similar to
those used in interiors, but operate only
when the pumps are started.
This installation, Said to be the first of
its kind on a btliMteg Os this type, was
adopted largely becafub of the lesson
taught by a disastrous fire in Chicago, in
,1922, when flames leaped an eighty-foot
street, melted windows of heavy wire
glass and devoured the contents of sev
eral upper floors of a steel skyscraper.
The blaze proved that- a modem "fire
proof” structure, though amply guarded
afcainst flames by interior sprinklers, may
not be imttmfte from an outside attack.
