ELECTION FIGURES. The election forecasters are al ready figuring out the democratic majority that i3 to be given in the . presidential election next year. The Tray the figures run it seems easy. The only trouble will be in havkig the votes so cast that they ttAbi touted that way. With the mw re-apportionment hill in effect, there will be 525 votes in the electoral college exclusive of Arizona and New Mexico. If the statehood h&tt passes the execu tive oifice, these new states will have three each, making a total of 531. The next president, then, will have to receive 263 votes in any event and 2GG if the new states are admitted. The Etew electoral college,, ex dmive of New Nexico and Ari zona, will be constituted as fol lows ; Alabama, 12; Connecticut. ?; Idaho. 4; Kansas. 10; Mary land, 8; Missippi. 10; Nevada, 3, North Carolina, 12 Oregon, ; South Dakota, 5f Vermont, Wisconsin, 13; California. 13; v"narida 6; Indiana, 15; Lxasi fe 10; Michigan, 15; Mon tgaaa, 4; New Jersey, 14; Ohio, 24; Rhode Island, 5; Texas, 20; Washington, 7; Arkansas. 9; DeUware, 3; Illinois, 29: Ken tucky, 13; Massachusetts.

This means that just 83 additional votes are needfJd to name Taft's success or. The votes of New York. Ohio, Indiana and West Virgi nia would be 92, or four more than enough to elect. The votes of New York, Ohio and Illinois would give 98. or ten more than enough to elect. The vot es of Indiana would give 89, or just one more than enough to elect. The votes of New York. New Jersey and Illinois would give the exact nscessary total of 83. TbeRi if one is desiroos- of taking, in some e the western states, a combination soKsetiung like this could be formed: New York, New Jersey, Indiana, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Coldra . do, Nebraska, Nevada, Califor-I nia and Montana would give the all-needed 88, or just en ough to put the democratic candidate in the white hcusa with the aid of the south. It maybe said that the repub licans have never approached any presidential election with more fear and trembling than they are approaching the next one. The election last fall gave them not ice that they lost out with the people. They had failed to keep faith and were repudiated. Their only hope for success next year, after the defeat of last, lay in the possibility of the democrats becng unable to boli together and . formulate and carry out any plans for reforms. The republic ans hoped for democratic dissen sions and inef&eney. But thedera ocrats have demonstrated their faiShfohaess to their pSedges and their aMUty to carry them cut.
