Does anybody, In his right mind, believe they are enough i year? Nobody; and least of all tlie men Taft. Those men do not expect a to bo elected. They know be cannot be.

They lighting to keep the ma- chinery of the Ilepubllcan party in their own hands for use. The bovo article is taken from the- Washington Times, Frank Mun- sey's newspaper, which Is earnestly supporting Col. Roosevelt for the Re- publican nomination for president. Accepting tho premises of the Times correct. Its conclusions are un- eorrtcf.

That the re- ptibllcftri nominee for president will not receive a single electoral vote from' the list of Southern named, certain; that the Heiiubltcan must receive half the 107 votes from the sec- ond list of slates and it is very doubt' till If Mr. con secure that ber, as the Republican nominee, IB also accepted as a fact. But this does not mean that Roosevelt can, as the Republican nominee, win, an Impres- sion the Times evidently Intended to convey. Another list ot states, in- cluding New York, Vermont, Massn- chiiBsettB, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indi- ana, West Virginia and Delaware, the electoral votes of nearly all of which, will be needed to i the success at the general election of the Republican i may be brought Into the calculation. Could Roose- velt hope to receive even a majority of the electoral votes of these states ns tho Republican nominee? Hardly.

Hence the real significance of the Times article Is that either with Taft or Roosevelt, as the Republican nominee, defeat lor f)i4 llepiihliriin flection. If Taft is the nominee, tbe elector- al votes of certain states, necessary to success of Republican party, i bo In the Democratic if Roosevelt IB the i the elec- toral votes of nnother of states ecess.iry to the success of the llck- will be In 1 the Derfioeratir, col- nn. From the reasoning of the lines It matters not born ot 10 dilemma is taken the result will defeat to the Republican hosts, mi so nniy it be.

The first list includes ten southern states a are absolutely certain' to give their votes to tho Democratic Tho second list I ton slates In tho north, nine of them listed ns usually Republican, and one as doubt- Jul.

No Republican candidate for presl dent could hoiie to bo elected it I 1 were that he would lose hal the voles In i second list.

Tho first lint Is absolutely wlthou significance to the Republican party The second list IB absolutely nee to Republican success. Tho first list wil send 22S dele to tbe i a national con Yentlon this year. The second list will send 2H.
