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 :

Bryan is sure of the southern state and may win with
out New York by pluralities in a number of western states.
However, a number of democratic leaders are predicting
lhat he will receive New York's :!!) electoral votes.

John S. ( '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.

Senator (lore i;is been accorded iai u'c and enthusiastic
audiences tlirotnjioiii (licoii: ,unl it is well, lie is an
orator of the old school, w bo soars into realms of cloiUcnce
and who is at the same t iine logical. Although handicapped
by the loss of Iih cyc-iuht. his life is a shilling example
of the man whom neither mN fort unc or lack of opportiuiit v
can keep down. While he has a natural gift of oratorv, it:
is backed up by an intellect which aids him to roll forth
facts politically which compel his hearers to ponder long
over his remarks. At the national democratic convention j
nis eioiiieiice ciealeii siidi a Inrore that proceed uiu's were
stopped for an hour. Senator lore is an orator it is worth
going a long way to hear, and it is much to l( regretted
lhat arrangements could not perfect!., h-ivhv hr
might have stopi d in Medford.
