In the current number of he Forum there 1* un article by ex-Gov. B*one of Missouri on "The Campaign of 1900 “ In speaking of the campaign of Mr. Htone says: A change of 22,071 votes properly dis tributed, would have given Mr. Bryan the state* of California. Delaware, Imilstia, Kentucky. North Dakota. Oregon wl West Virginia, which would have elected him. A change of 2M91 vo*es dbtrlbuted would have added Maryland to the Bryan column, in addition to the -tales named, and thus given him the election by a majority of 23 in the Elec toral College. We quote the foregoing to show that nl hough Mr. McKinley's plurality over Mr. Bryan wa more thatf GUQ,fM> yet h compar atively small number of vojes. properly distributed, would have given the latt**. the victory. In oher words, there were state* In which the two candidates ran so closely together that a ltitl* greater effort on the part of the Democrat* would have given them to Mr. Bry*ui and made him President. In the contest this year It !f admitted that there urea number of states that will be very close. All of h*m were carried by Mr. McKinley four years ago. They are Kentucky, Marylan* 1. West Virginia. Delaware, Michigan and Indiana. Chair man Hanna admits the first four are very doubtful.
