VANCOUVER. Wash., Sept. 2. (Spe cial.) Albert Johnson. Representative from this district, who was here this week renewing acquaintances, has had considerable success in political pro ' phecy in the past, and this year he has analyzed the situation by scientific means. He has gone over the entire situation and has prepared the follow ing; data regarding the coming presi dential election: While it la rather early to make political predictions as to the probable result of tho great political campaign about to be Btag-ea; while one man's guess Is as good as an other's: and while one might be accused of mid-Summer madness In venturing to predict what will or will not happen in a campaign where one candidate has Just been officially notified of his nomination and the other candidates do not yet know officially of the result of the St. Louis convention; I submit the following figures to be filed away and compared with the actual returns when counted in November next and see how good or how poor a Suesser I am: Hughes Victory Predicted. In the first place. I predict that the Ke- fubllcan ticket will have between 80O and 25 votes, and as It takes but 26 to elect, that Mr. Hughes will be the next President ot the United States. The following table- Is submitted to show the states that are reasonably certain to cast their vote for Hughes and Fairbanks: California ll.orth Dakota .... 5 Connecticut 7Ohlo 24 Idaho 4 Oregon 6 Illinois 2, Pennsylvania 80 Iowa 13lRhode Island 6 Kansas 10 South Dakota .... 6 Maine o.Utah - 4 Massachusetts . . . .ISivermont ......... 4 Michigan 10 Washington 7 Minnesota lowest Virginia .... 8 Montana 4! Delaware New Jersey .......141 New Hampshire ... 4 New York 4i Total 800 California In 1912 Roosevelt carried this state by a small majority the total Repub lican and Progressive vote exceeding tne Democratio vote by 4088. This, ot course, shows a very narrow margin, but by examin ing the vote of 1914 the returns are much more encouraging and dispel any doubt as to the outcome this year. Connecticut Is Claimed. Connecticut President Wilson carried Connecticut in 1912. receiving 74,561 votes to 68,324 for Taft and 34,129 for Roosevelt, or 27.892 less than the combined Republican and Progressive vote. Any argument to prove Connecticut as a sure Republican state would be superfluous, so X will sot make any. Idaho In this state Wilson received 83, 921, Taft 82.810 and Theodore Roosevelt 25.527. In 1914 the figures for Governor were. Democratic 47,618, Republican 40,849, Progressive 10.583, while in the same elec tion Brady, Republican, was elected Sen ator, receiving 7,4S6 votes to 41,268 for Hawley, Democrat, and 10.321 for Clagstone, Progressive. Illinois Wilson carried Illinois and yet received 225.053 votes less than the com bined Taft and Roosevelt vote. I have made no mistake in placing Illinois in the list of sure ones. Iowa This Is another state carried by Wilson in 1912, although receiving almost 10O.00O votes less than the Taft and Roose velt vote; while In 1914 Cummins was re- elected Senator by almost 40,000 majority. If Iowa Is not properly to be regarded as safely Republican this year, then, indeed, are we poor guessera. Kansas Majority Safe. Kansas In 1912 the Republicans and Progressives cast 195,567, the Democrats 148570 votes. Wilson carried the state by over 60,000 minority. Two years later the combined Republican and Progressive vote exceeded the Democratio vote by 131.900. Maine I havo placed Maine in the Re publican column for several reasons, ilrst, the state Is normally Republican and sel dom electa Democratio electors. In 1912, while Wilson carried the state, it was clear ly due to the split In the Republican party. The combined Republican and Progressive vote was 23,925 in excess of the Democratic vote. Massachusetts It seems a waste of paper to present any argument on this state. Suf fice it to say tnat aitnougn Wilson cor ralled the electoral vote In 1912, he had Just 124,769 votes less than Taft and Roose velt. Michigan The election returns of 1912 show a very comfortable situation in this state. Wilson had 150,751; Taft, 162,214. and Roosevelt, 214,584 votes. Minnesota Even in a Democratic esti mate this state would be placed in the Re publican column. Montana Deemed for Hughes. Montana Montana gave her four electoral votes to Wilson, although In a total poll of 68.909 votes he received 13.025 votes less than the two rival candidates. In 1U14 this difference Increased to over 15,000 and there is little If any doubt that this year. with but two tickets in the field, the four votes of Montana will be cast for the Re publican candidate. New Jersey I hesitated to put this state In the "reasonably sure" list, because. It being the home of the President; state pride and a careful distribution of patronage sug gested the placing the state in the doubtful column. But, from reports I have received, the Republican party is presenting a united front to an enemy somewhat divided by Internal dissensions, and I think I am Jus tified in placing New Jersey in the sure, rather than In the doubtful column. New Hampshire The most rabid or san guine Democrat will lay no claim to this state and I will not waste time in stating reasons for placing It in the Republican col umn. New York Let us examine the election returns of the last four years Wilson car ried the state in 1912. He received 655,475, Taft 455.428, end Roosevelt 89O.021 votes. A little addition and subtraction shows that the combined Taft and Roosevelt vote ex ceeded the Wilson vote by 189,964 votes. What are the other features In this great state? It is the home state of Hughes. It Is there he is known, respected and honored. It is there he showed the wise, forceful and statesmanlike qualities that eventually resulted In a demand for his nomination. North Dakota Some sanguine Democrats claim the five electoral votes of North Da kota for Wilson. I have no 'dope" on this state except that in 1912 Wilson had 20,000 votes less than Taft and Roosevelt, while in 1914 the state was carried by the Republicans by 10.000, while the Progres sives polled over 6000 votes, and the com bined Republican and Progressive vote exceeded the Democratic vote by 25,000. Purely these figures Justify the prediction that North Dakota will be found In the Republican column In November next. Ohio Declared Sate.- Ohio This is another state carried by Wilson In 1912. although rolling S3. 241 votes less than Taft and Roosevelt combined. Two years later the Republicans carried the state by 31,000, and in addition the Progres sives polled almost 61.000 votes, showing a difference of 92,000 votes. There is nothing to Indicate that there will be a poorer show ing In 1916 and I have no hesitation in placing Ohio In the list. Oregon. Pennsylvania and Rhode Island are generally regarded so safely Republican that It would be a waste of time to discuss them. South Dakota What was said above about North Dakota applies with equal force to this state. Utah and Vermont These states are as certain to cast their electoral votes for Hughes and Falrbanka as is Pennsylvania. Washington I might as well have added this state to t'tah end Vermont and said no m ire about It. However, Wilson carried the state in 1912 by almost 100,000 minor ity. Iwi years later the combined Repub lican and Progressive vote exceeded the Democratic vote y over 122,000. West Virginia I regard this state as be ing exceedingly close and It probably should go in the doubtfu column. From s'i" 'A " h '7-f - - - - MR. AND MRS. MARSIIKI, S. B. HAYCOCK. EUGENE, Or., Sept. 2. (Special.) Fifty years of wedded life and 20 years' continuous residence in Oregon is the record of Marshel S. B. Haycock and his wife, Ester, who celebrated their golden wedding anniversary in Eugene Monday at the home of their daughter, Mrs. Pearl Williams. . Mr. Haycock was born in Canada. He served four years in the Union army as a member of the Fifth Iowa and later with Han cock's veterans in the army of the Potomac. Among the 90 guests at the celebration of the wedding anniversary were the members of J. "W. Geary post, Grand Army of the Republic, and the Ladies of the G. A. R. report I have had from the citlrens of th state. I have concluded it reasonably sure. This concludes tne list, except: Statistics Are Ticking. Delaware This little state generally turns up on the right side of the ledger, and, -without pretending to know anything about conditions In the state, I have added Its vote to the reasonably safe column, I believe In the following: states the Republicans have an even chance of win ning : Arizona, 8; Colorado, 6; Kentucky, 13; Maryland, 8; Missouri, 18; Nebraska, 8; New Mexico, 8; Oklahoma, lO; Indiana, 15; Wisconsin, 13; "Wyoming. 8.

FAIR REGARDED SUCCESS Southwest Washington Management Fleased With Results. CHEHALIS, Wash., Sept. 2. (Spe cial.) Today marked the closing of the Southwest Washington Fair. The man agement is pleased with its success, especially in the display of the re sources of Lewis County and this sec tion of the state. Plans are under consideration al ready for the fair next year, when im portant features will be added. The suggestion has been made and may be considered, of having Chehalls-Cen-tralia day early in the week instead of next to the last day, as a means of creating much greater local Interest lp the attendance at the fair.

U 7 i 'Z j.- ,; HOOD TO ASK NO FUNDS FEDERAL AID WILL BE WAXTED XEIT SEASON', HOWEVER. Meeting Is Called for Tuesday to Out line Road Improvements That Seem to Re Mont irrjcent. HOOD RIVER. Or Sept. 2. (Spe cial.) It is not likely that Hood River County will be in position to make ap plication for funds to be appropriated between now and the end of the fiscal year, June 30, 1917, under the recently passed Federal Aid Roads Act. County Judge Stanton yesterday re ceived from the United Statea Forestry office in Portland a synopsis of the new law, which provides that applica tions must be made before October 1. According to the communication to Judge Stanton, the application must be accompanied by a survey of the road proposed to be Improved, the estimated cost and a statement of the benefits. Hood River County authorities, how ever, contemplate applying next year for a portion of the Federal fund for improvement of a trunk line road through the valley, connecting the Co lumbia River Highway with the pro posed link of ttie Loop road passing through the National Forest round the east base of Mount Hood to the old Bar low road. To discuss the proposed trunk line road through the valley and to work out some plan for road improvement in the orchard districts next year, D. G.

Richard, an attorney, and Miss Sophie Marx, the bridegroom asked that court reconvene so he could obtain the court's signature to the divorce action of Westermark against Westermark. The attorney and his bride appeared and nervously requested Judge Tallman to perform the ceremony. While wait ing for the arrival of another member of the wedding party the bridegroom suddenly bethought him of the pending settlement or a divorce ease, and in terrupted his own nuptials while he aided in severing the marital ties of the other couple.

HI Wanderlust Rapidly Overcomes Han dicap When Half Way Around Three-Mile Course, and Wins Easily on Home Stretch. ASTORIA. Or., Sept. 2. (Special.) The speedboat Vogler Boy III, of Port land. Is the Champion of the Pacific Coast for the year 1916. That was de cided today when aha won the second heat In the free - for - all race, thus placing 20 points to her credit. In fact. barring a mishap, the Vogler Boy III had the championship cinched from the start, as her only antagonist Is not in the same class and had so much trou ble with her engines that her competi tion counted for little. The Vogler Boy III is a 26-foot craft. equipped with an eight-cylinder engine that develops more than 250 horse power, and is said to have made 54 miles an hour. Some believe she Is the most speedy craft on the Coast, especially for short distances, and can beat the Oregon Kid's time. Champion to Ron Against Time- Consequently the racing committee has arranged a treat for the regatta visitors on Monday morning, when the Vogler III will run against time be tween gas buoys No a. 2 and 11. This distance Is 2325 feet, according to the charts, but the exact distance will be measured and the craft will make at least two runs each way In an effort to break the Coast record. The water conditions were favorable I this morning for racing, and the crowd of spectators was much larger than yes terday. The first race was the handi cap cruiser that was run over again on account of a fluke yesterday. The en tries were the Rowmar, Peggy II, Mar tena. Sea Wolf, Elslnore. Service and Wanderlust, and they got away in the order named, their handicaps being de ducted before the start. Wanderlust Wins Cruiser Race. The Wanderlust had a handicap of nine minutes and nine seconds against her, but she gradually reduced the lead and took the van when a little more than half around the three-mile course, winning easily. The Elsinore was sec ond and the Service third. The second heat of the free-for-all speedboat race for the Coast champion ship was the next event of the morn ing's programme. The only entries were the Vogler Boy III and the vogler Boy II. The latter developed engine trouble and was late in getting away, bo the race was simply a procession, the Vog ler Boy III winning without an effort. The third and most interesting race of the morning was between five-horse power Columbia River fishboats twice around the course, or six miles. There were nine entries and all got away in a bunch. The winners were Joe Tarabuchia. Steen Alsos, Alex Peterson and Roland Charlie. San Joan Battle Reproduced. The water sports staged In front of the grandstand were an entertaining feature, particularly the swimming and diving and surf-board riding by the women from the Multnomah Athletic Club of Portland and Coeur d'Alene. The principal event of the evening was the reproduction of the battle of San Juan Hill, staged by regular troops from Fort Stevens and members of the Spanish War veterans. The reproduc tion was most realistic, 8000 shots were fired and 130 bombs were discharged by the attacking and defending troops, in addition to the fireworks display, which was especially beautiful.
