4 COL GEORGE HARVEY ANALYZES CONTEST FOR THE PRESIDENCY NEW YORK. Sept. 2.—Colonel George Harvey, editor of The North American Review, ha? had notable success as a cold-blooded political prophet He alone predicted the nomination of Taft and Wilson two years ago, and told correctly the reasons why each would in the end be nominated In the September number of hla maga zine Colonel Harvey analyzes; the pres ent political outldok. and The Geor gian is enabled by his courtesy to print this synopsis of his view in ad vance. 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 plurality of votes 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. 167, Roosevelt. 66. The editor continues Taft's Probable Vote. Without assuming that the voting in November will follow closely the lines indicated, we nevertheless find In these actual results of 1910 the best basis obtainable for intelli gent speculation. Certain deduc tions, for example, seem fully war ranted—to wit 1 Roosevelt can not be elected He may expect with reason to obtain the 68 votes allotted to him In the above table Give to him from the Taft column Illinois, 29. Pennsylvania. 38 Wisconsin. 13. Michigan, 15, Massachusetts, 18, and Delaware, 3 -n total, with the original 66. of 182 Add from the Wilaon column Arizona. 3, Colo rado 6; New York, 65; North Caro lina 12, Oklahoma, 10—total. 76. grand total. 258. or 8 less than the requisite number. The wildest Im agining can not accord Roosevelt a majority. 2. Taft can not win Allot to him 167, as recorded above. Including the doubtful 54 from Illinois, Minnesota and Wis consin; from the Roosevelt column Utah, 4, from Wilson; Maryland. 8. New York. 45. Ohio, 24. West Vir ginia. B—total 256. or 10 less than a majority This must be regarded as the topmost of Mr. Taft's possi bllltfe.- In ease Wilaon should not obtain a majority ox er both Taft nnd Roosevelt the house of r» presentatlves would be called upon to elect a president on the second Wednesday of February. Each state would have one vote, and the result would be. For Wilson, 22. oppo sition, 22 divided, 4 Maine, Nebraska New Mexico and Rhode Island. Neces sary to a choice, 25. Only Taft, Roose velt and 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 representatives, therefore, would be unable to elect a president Th* editor continues Meanwhile the senate acting un der the same provision of the con stitution, would be engaged in choosing a vice president, since Marshall necessarily would have failed to obtain a majority in the electoral college, in common with Wilson Choice would lie restricted to the two persons who had re ceived the largest number of elec toral votes- Marshall surely and Sherman probably—and the sen ators would vote individually in stead of by states, as in the house of representatives. Forty-nine votes would be required to elect. The senate is now classified politically as follows Republicans. 50; Demo crats, 44. vacancies, 2 The varan cies will be filled presumably by the legislatures of Colorado and Illinois in January Apparently, therefore, the Republicans would have surely one and possibly three more than the 49 required for the election of a vice president. w»ho would become president on the 4th of March. This seems to mean that, in the event of Wilson failing to obtain 266 electoral votes, Sher man would succeed Taft. Senate Might Then Act.

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 tots; Republican vote would be 52 If for any reason four of these senators should abstain from vol- j ing the senate would be unable to I 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 surprising if four out of the so-called Insur gent senators Dixon. Clapp. Bourne, Works, Borah. and the two new senators from Colorado and Illinois—shoulfl re fuse to act In conformity with his wishes, especially in view of the position which Sherman holds in their estimation as a pronounced •■eactionary 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 be 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 ajiswer 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 ax 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 congress, If not at the time in ses sion, In extraordinary session, giv ing twenty days’ notice.” This statute was enacted by au thority of article 11, section 6 of the constitution, which confeis upon congress the power of "de claring what officer shall then act president • • • until the dis- ability be removed or a president shall be elected.” The plain intent of both constitution and statute Is that "such officer” shall only act as president until a president can be elected, and the mandatory provis ion requiring him to convene con gress forthwith Is obviously tor the purpose of enabling congress to call a 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 failing to elect a vice president, the proced ure would be a.* follows: President Taft's fixed term of office would expire at midnight of March 3, and the secretary of state. Mr. Knox, whose official life is indeterminate* would become acting president. As such he would be obliged to con vene congress In 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 non party would have a second opportunity to win the presidency within a twelve month, greatly, no doubt, to the I 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. From the Wilson column represent ing th* actual Democratic standing in the present house of representatives the editor deducts as doubtful New York (45). Illinois (24), Ohio (24), Col orado (6) and West Virginia (8). leav ing a net secure total of 215 out of the -66 required, and adds "Apparently it Is a fact that th* two pivotal states both, possibly, and one or the other in any case are New York and Illinois. If so It Is a fact of the first magnitude." because in these two states "voting by groups is a more important factor than I In other commonwealths." These groups are classified roughly as follows: Or-I ganlzation men. railroad men. business men. anti-prohibltionlsta, Roman Cath olics, factory workers, farmers foreign born voters and negroes After analyzing the proclivities of each aggregation, the editor concludes that the merest glance at the tabula tion suffices to show that the strong appeal of Governor Wilson to the whole people without heed to segregated In terests and prejudices, while constitut ing hie chief strength as a candidate, nevertheless contains elements of no little weakn< >s ’’ Roo<evelt’s Strength. Assuming, for example, that Roose- I v.'t should draw two-fifths of the RV- I publican vote from Taft and one-fifth ■ of the Democratic vote from Wile i Taft would still carry Illinois b. 10,000 1 and Wilson would have a scant 12,000 l In New York. Contrary to the gen- I view, Roosevelt's candidacy is j fi garded as ha mfu iat her t han h< p ful to Wilson chiefly because he will ' get the fa.

This | time their talk is directed agai/ist the . | United States, not against Germany. The enactment of the Panama canal I 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 I’nited States, Angell comes to the conclusion that England could not obtain the desired result by fighting. He declares that the I’nited States inter nal trade la 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 I’nited States government to carry through its Pan ama canal program without change. Cooler heads are counseling a peace ful settlement by means of The Hague international coprt of arbitration. The program of those advocates of pacific adjustment Is to allow the tribunal to interpret the Hay-Pauncefote treaty, which, England declares, is 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. Sent 2.—Carl g Weiss just can t abide the odor of liquor on his wife s breath when she conies home late at night. It has so far gotten on his olfactory nerves as tn constitute extreme cruelty, according to hfs way of think ing. and with that he charges Mrs. Cor day Weiss, a leading suffragette, in his petition for divorce just filed in the Den ver county court He says she told him ti.ai Ive "might as well get out of th* house, as she never Intends to cook an other meal " must he told in truth, said in his speech of acceptance one convinc ing word of sympathy with the toll ing masses. Roosevelt not only professes but promises everything. He will work to raise their wages, he will reduce their hours of toil; lie will pension them In old ago; he will insure their lives; he will ’lift the burdens and lighten the 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 i can understand. Such is the Roose velt appeal. In conclusion. Mr. Harvey summa rizes the probability and the lesson de rived from his painstaking analysis in these significant words: “Wilson will probably be elected. If he carries New York, he can not be beaten."

Gyascutus Boowoopsus (Scien tific Name) Member of Alli phantus Elegatorium Set. APALACHICOLA. FLA. Sept. 2 The strangest sea monster ever seen without one glass or several of them was discovered on St. George island to day by G. E. Hoffman, a newspaper correspondent, who was fishing from the bar with a corkscrew and a cher ry. St. George is all agog with ex citement over the beast. Mr. Hoffman and his associates, who are on a fishing trip, found the mon ster. they say, washed ashore on the beach just at dawn. They know they were not dreaming, for they had not been to bed. They described it as hav ing the head of an alligator, the body of an elephant, but more attenuated, four stalwart legs and a long, prehensile tail similar to those which adorned the pterodactyl of the Old Red Grindstone period. Professor G. Whittaker Knutt. who is pursuing researches here, says the saurian is a remarkably fine specimen of the long lost gyascutus boowoopsus. believed to have become extinct with the dodo and the wapperjawed oompus. though some naturalists class it as an alliphantus elegatorium.

Alabama St. examined it through field glasses, care fully avoiding closer inspection. Weighed 50 Tons at Least. Mr. Hoffman and his associates made an attempt to capture the creature, which, 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.
