Roosevelt and Taft together rewind, n o uici 4i000i000 mo:..
Attempts to forecust the result of
the coming presidential election by
reasoning from data of 1912 voting
are seldom satisfactory. Conditions
wore confused in that year as to af
ford a very unreliable basis for pres
ent nrediction ubout the future.
The Chicago Tribune, taking the
starting point that Wil.son is a minor
ity president, that ho received a
trifle under (5,300,000 votes, that
iwui-- v. I ft
7,600,000 votes and that these latter
may be combined this year, considois
thut Wilson must now hold his 191
aggregate and capturo upproximutely
700,000 votes from hia opponents to
wic , Tuis line of reasoning omits
one essential element of the situation.
The vote cast in 1912 was very
umn lit totaled ! only 10.4 of the
whole population of the country, in
which respect it rougmy corresiu""
wntj. in 1908. Our presidential

Clearly this increment of voter
would entirely disarrange calculations
based on the 1912 results. Mr. Wilson
would not have to draw a single' bal
lot from the column of his two oppon-
lent if ;W could get ull of the r.w
votes or even three quarters of them.
By adding three of thsse four mtl'ion
to his 6,300,000 he would beat his op-;
1 nonent. roundly, ulthough that op
ponent secured every one of the voters ,
for Roosevelt and Taft and a million ;
now votes on top of them. ;
The normal voting ttrength of the
Tuition may come out this year and it
may not If it does, anticipatory l
guessing about the result Is useless.!
If it does not, and the aggregr.ie
keeps down around tha 1912 point, a
.nronhet miirht do a creditable , ion,
but who can say today what the feel
ing of the people is about the cornins
campaign? Are they deeply but
quietly interested ? Or are they
apathetic? -
Another plea is made for low priced
graduation gowns. Now see here.
why not let the girls dress up for
"the thrill that comes once in a life
time."

Several distinctive features characterize this new'

Old style "cum flakes'' do not possess much real
