4 COL GEORGE HARVEY ANALYZES CONTEST FOR THE PRESIDENCY NEW YORK. Sept. —Colonel Oenrge Harvey, editor of The North American Review, has had notable success as a cold-blooded political prophet He alone predicted the nomination of Taft and Wilson two years ago. and told correct!)’ the reasons why each would in the end be nominated In the September number of his maga zine Colonel Harvey analyzes the pres ent political outlook and The Geor gian is enabled by his courtesy to print this synopsis of his view In ad van, e. The true appellation of the three leading candidates he declares, are. Taft. Conservative. Wilson. Liberal. Roosevelt. Radical. He continues; The contest has already nar rowed. as In 1824. to the Democrat against the field. Now. ns then, he is practically assured a pluralltj’ of votea in the electoral college; and now. as then, his defeat can be ac complished only by withholding from him an actual majority over all, thus again imposing the elec tion of a president upon the house of representatives If the states should vote in the elec toral college as they are now repre sented politically in the house of rep resentatives elected in 1910 the result would be: Wilson, 298; Taft. 187; Mooaevelt. 66. The editor continues. Taft'a Probable Vote. Without assuming that the voting in November will follow closely the lines indicated, we nevertheless find In thC'e actual results of 1910 the best basis obtainable f,u intelli gent speculation. Certain deduc tions sot example, seem fully war ranter)—to wit: 1. Roosevelt can not be elected He mny expect with reason to obtain the 66 votes allotted io him in thi above table.

Neces saty to a choice, 25 Only Taft, Roose velt snd Wilson could be voted for. Obviously neither Roosevelt nor Taft would have a chance. Wilson would have to win over three non-Democratic states—a virtual impossibility. The house of rept. -entatlves, therefore. ■Would be unable to elect a president The editor < out Inm s Meanwhile the senate acting un der the Marry provision of the con stitution. would be engaged In choosing a vice picsldent. since Marshall necessarily would have failed to obtain a majority in the electoral college, in common with Wilson Choice would be restricted to the two persons who had re ceived the largest number of elec toral, votes—Marshall surely and She, man probably—and the sen ators would vote individually In stead of by states, as In the house of representatives. Forty-nine voles would be required to elect The senate Is now classified politically as follows Republicans. 50, Demo crats, 44; vacancies, 2 The vacan • cles will be tilled presumably by the legislatures of Colorado and Illinois lit January Apparently, therefor, the Republican* would have surely one and possibly three more than the 49 required for the election of a vice president, who would become president on the 4th of March, This seems to mean that, tn the event of Wilson falling to obtain 286 electoral votes, Sher man would succeed Taft.

Be sure to read it. The Republican majority in the senate is not only scant, but also nominal rather than actual. Prom ising that both Illinois and Colo rado return Republicans, the total Republican vote would be 52. If for any reason four of these senators should abstain from vot ing the senate would be unable to elect a vice president. Now, it is quite conceivable that Roosevelt might consider it advisable to pre- . vent the election of Sherman. If so, it would not be sutpflsing if four out of the so-called Insur gent senators Dixon. Clapp, Bourne. Works, Borah. Poindexter and the two new senators from Colorado and Illinois —should re fuse to act In conformity with his wishes, especially In view of the position which Sherman holds, in their estimation as a pronounced reactionary. Precedent for their refraining from voting is found in the abstention of the Vermont and Maryland Federalist members of the house, whose refusal to vote gave the presidency to Jefferson in 1800. But the question arises imme diately: What, aside from their disapproval of Sherman, could he the motive of Roosevelt and his adherents in preventing the elec tion of a vice president under cir cumstances which would constitute him president for four years? A possible answer is to be found In the law of succession (chapter IV of the Acts of the Forty-ninth Con gress!. which provides that: Knox Would Be President. “In case of the removal, death, resignation or Inability of both the president and vice president, then the secretary of state shall act a* president until the disability of the president or vice president is re moved. or until a president is elect ed. • ♦ • The acting president must upon taking office, convene eonftre.se. if not nt the time in ses sion. in extraordinary session, giv ing twenty days' notice.” This statute was enacted by au thority of article 11, section ft. of the constitution, which confers upon compass the power of "de viating what officer shall then act as -resident • • until the dis- ability be removed or a president shall be elected.” The plain Intent of both constitution and statute is that 'such offi ■er'' shall only act ax president until n president can be elected, and the mandatory provis ion requiring him to convene con gress forthwith i« obviously sot the purpose of enabling congress to call n special election under authority conferred by article 11. section 4 In the event, then, of the house of representatives failing to elect a president and the senate falling to elect a vice president, the proced ure would he as follows: President Taft's fixed term of office would expire at midnight of March 3. and the secretary of stale. Mr. Knox, yvhose official life lx indeterminate, would become acting president As such he would be obliged to con vene congress 1n extraordinary ses sion on March 24, and congress would "determine the time of choosing electors"-—certainly not later than November of the forth coming year, in this manner Mr. Roosevelt and his neyy patty would have a second opportunity to win the presidency within n twelve month, greatly no doubt, to the satisfaction of- both. The contest then resolves to Wil son against the field, and "there remains the vital question Is it within the range of possibility that any combination, tacit or fixed, can withhold from Wilson and Mar shall, whose plurality Is virtually assured, an actual majority of votes in the electoral college?" New York and Illinois Pivotal States. Irotn the Wilson column represent ing the actual Democratic standing in the present house of I'cpresentatlves the editor deducts as doubtful New York (451. Illinois (24). Ohio (24 i.

If so It is a fact of the first magnitude." because in these two states "voting by groups is a more important factor than in other commonwealths." These groups are classified roughly as follows Or ganisation men, railroad mon, business ! men. anti-prohibitionists. Roman Cath olics. factory workers, farmers, foreign bom voters and negroes \fter analyzing the proclivities of each aggregation, the editor concludes that "the merest glance at the tabula tion suffices to show that tlte strong appeal of Governor Wilson to the whole people, without heed to segregated in terests and prejudices, while constitut ing his chief strength as a candidate. | nevertheless contains elements of no I little weakness." Roosevelt's Strength. Assuming, for example, that Roose velt should draw two-fifths of the Re publican vote from Taft and one-fifth of the Democratic vote from Wilson Taft would still carry Illinois by 10,000 and 15 ilson would have a Scatit 12.000 :In New York. Contrary to the gen eraj view, Roosevelt's candidacy is regarded as harmful rather than help ful to Wilson, chiefly because he xx ill get tlte far Western states, which oth ■ erwise would have gone to Wilson. The I editor continues There remain the great bodies of wa: kingmen In both New York and 1 moi,- who comprise a large per ■ entage of the Democratic party.

This* time their talk Is directed against the United States, not.against Germany. The enactment of the Panama canal administration bill by congress against which England protested on the ground that it hurt English trade is giving rise to the "war talk." Following the publi cation in The Daily Mail of an article by orman Angell, entitled "Why Not Fight?" politicians who seize every op portunity to embarrass the Liberal gov ernment are urging that further repre sentations be made to Washington. However, in analyzing the possible result of war between Great Britain and the United States. Angell comes to the conclusion that England could not obtain the desired result by fighting. He declares that the United States inter nal trade Is so great that she has no need for trade relations with other countries and that even should the en tire North American continent be put under blockade other countries would suffer more than the United States. Wouldn’t Menace America. The point of his article is that the United States produces all that she consumes—or could do so. under neces sity. Professional jingoes. In Communica tions to the newspapers, declare that the members of the British government will show an amazing lack of patriot ism if they allow the United States government to carry through its Pan ama canal program without change. (fooler heads are counseling a peace ful settlement by means of The Hague international court of arbitration. The program of these advocates of pacific adjustment Is to allow the tribunal to interpret the Hay-Pauncefote treaty, which, England declares, lx being vio lated by the revocation of tolls for American coasting ships passing through the waterway RESENTS ODOR OF LIQUOR ON HIS WIFE'S BREATH DENVER, Sept 2—Carl G. Weiss just can t abide the odor of liquor on his wife's breath when she comes home late at night. It has so far gotten on his olfactory nerves as to constitute extreme cruelty, according to his way of think ing. and with that he charges Mrs. Cor <lav Weiss, n leading suffragette, in his petition for divorce just filed in the Den ver county court. He says she told him that lie "might ax well get out of the house, as she never Intends to cook an other meal " must be told in truth, said in his speech of acceptance one convinc ing word of sympathy with the toil ing masses. Roosevelt not only professes but promises everything. He will work to raise their wages, he will reduce their hours of toil; he will pension them In old age; he will insure their lives; he will lift the burdens and lighten tlte homes of their women; he will pro tect and safeguard their children. Do these millions of men believe he can or will do all of these things? Probably not. But he says that he will try. Does any one else? Where else have they to go? And why believe that he could not and would not? if Lloyd-George can and does, why can not and why will not Roosevelt? Grant that he may be a demagogue, a hypocrite, and a false friend, what of it? He is at least a concrete image; he speaks their language; he shakes their hands; he is neither a theory of government for which they do not care nor an abstraction which they do not wish to comprehend: he is one of themselves a live, hu man. imperfect being whom they j can understand. Such Is the Roose velt appeal. In conclusion.

Mr. Hoffman and his associates made an attempt to capture the creature, w hich, -they say, was fully 50 feet long, must have weighed 50 tons and made tracks in the sand like a steam shovel digging a sewer. To this end they re turned hurriedly to town and placed an order for a mile and a half of barbed wire fencing, intending to surround the monster with this. But when they re turned, with several friends, to the spot where they had left the saurian he had disappeared, leaving behind him only a strong alcoholic odor. But Mr. Hoff man pointed out the very place in the water as proof of his assertions, and one of the party who had taken a cam era on the fishing trip developed a plate which he had made hurriedly before the submarine behemoth disappeared. The picture has relieved the minds of St. George folk of all doubt.
