To elect, a jiresident: and viic-pivsidciit of the United Stales in the next electoral college 2 12 votes will be re quired. The New York Herald indicates the uncertainties of the present contest in the following classification of doubtful slates, with the number of electoral votes of each : Colorado (:n, Indiana (1.1). Maryland (). Miiiili-aolli (11). .Montana II), .Vbriiska (). N. w York (.ill). I'tali '('!;. South D:ik.Jta (4). Wis consin (l.'t. ami W.-l Virginia (7). Thus 111 electoral votes are classed as doubtful out of a total of IS:!. In addition to these, the Herald says, there are possibilities of "surprises" from California. Nevada, North Dakota, Ohio. Oregon and Rhode Island, which it classes as "reasonably sure"' for the republican ticket. I!ut the residents of Oregon and California are not so certain as to the Herald's conclusion. The Herald is not advocating- the election of either ticket, but simply treating ihe situation from :i news stand point. And, although classifications of this kind are not of great value, the Herald's calculations show that tin result of the election is doubtful. In order that readers who may wish may make theii own deductions, the followini; uroiiiiinus of the states are given : Eastern stale Coiineetieiit 7, lie lauare Maim- fi, Maryland S, .MasMarlnisottH III, New llainp-diire 1. .Wu-.ler-o-y CJ.

( 'haiiibers in the Sacramento lice has much of interest to say regarding a newspaper's part in promotion work, which lias been often proven to be true. He says: "Publicity being essential to the success of promotion work on anything like a large scale, it goes without saying that the part to be played by printers' ink must be given a conspicuous place in the consideration of such projects. "'While it is true that outside mediums must be utilized to a greater or lcs extent in reaching the buying public. there is an important work that no agency can do as well as can the local newspa icr. It reaches not only home read-ei-s with its reports of local development enterprises, but also the people of neighboring districts, the papers of which copy such accounts not only as matters of news, but also as indicative of the slate's general progress. Such issues, too, are frequently, given wide outside distribution by promotion workers, and often local publications are sent regularly to territories from which it is hoped to at tract settlers. " It frequently happens, also, that a man contemplating buying a homo in a new state w ill subscribe for the papers of such sections as may have been suggested to him. with the object in view of obtaining from their varied columns more information of both a general and detail character than he is likely to get from the partisan statements of a selling agent or an advertisement, or the necessarilv in complete reports procurable from private sources." ! From this brief outline, a partial realization of the value of local newspapers iji advancing development pro jects may he obtained. This is not to say they all measure up to the requirements of the situation. few do. lint tin4 majority fall short, some of them very much so. Hut even the papers that slight their opportunities the most do good to an extent, small as it may be that they take ad vantage of them. ril l i-itieus of the country, lias been : 'i enled It v Chairman Mack of the li rnoenttic national committee us trens . rei of the commit tee, to succeed Gov ernor I'.
