The total electoral vote of all the
r.tates is 531. The successful presi
dential candidate must have. at least
266. One of the latest estimates of
the alignment of the states Is that
published last Sunday by the New
York World. The World is a strong
supporter of President Wilson, but its
conclusions as to the results in the
various states are declared to be based
on thorough and Impartial investiga
tions. Following Is the Worlds summary:
Hew Tork World Summary.
States that Wilson seems reason
ably sure to carry Alabama. Arizona,
Arkansas. Colorado, Delaware, Florida
Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mary
land. Mississippi. Missouri, Montana,
Nevada, New Mexico. North Carolina,
Oklahoma. South Carolina, Tennessee,
Texas, Virginia. Total number of
states. 21; electoral vote, 197.
States that Hughes appears reason
ably sure to carry Connecticut, Idaho,
Iowa, Kansas. Maine, Massachusetts,
Michigan. Minnesota, New Hampshire.
North Dakota. Oregon, Pennsylvania.
Rhode Island, South Dakota. Utah,
Vermont, Wisconsin, Washington. To
tal number of states, 18; electoral
vote, 175.
States conceded by both sides to he
doubtful Indiana, Illinois, New York,
Ohio. Total number of states, 4; elec
toral vote, 113.
States claimed by Republicans not
conceded by Democrats Californ.'a,
Nebraska and Wyoming. Total num
ber of states. 3; electoral vote, 24.
States claimed by Democrats not
conceded by Republicans New Jersey.
West Virginia. Total number of
states, 2; electoral vote, 22.
The real doubtful states New York.
Indiana, Ohio. Total number of states,
3; electoral vote, 84.
Must Carry Both, Paper Says.
Commenting oh this estimate, the
World says:
"With the doubtful states Indiana.
Ohio. New York and Illinois Mr.
Wilson wonld have 310 electoral
votes, or 44 more than enough to
award Jiim the certificate of election.
Added to the 175 votes of which Mr.
Hughes appears reasonably certain,
the 113 doubtful votes would give him
288 votes, or 22 more than he would
need to win.
"Mr. Wilson will have enough with
New York. New Jersey and Indiana,
conceding Ohio and Illinois to the Re
publicans. On the other hand, Mr.
Hughes must have the votes of New
York. Illinois and Ohio, totaling 98
votes, to add to the stales of which
he appears reasonably certain.
"There are. of course, other com
ninations, made up of ethers of the
doubtful states, by which either of
the candidates may win, but there is
no question that the successful candt
.late must carry New York an.l Indi
ana in any event. It is fherefore on
these two states that both parties
will center their fire.
ZTew Tork Hot Essential.
There are. however, many other pos
sible combinations of doubtful states
and the Worlds conclusion that the
successful candidate must catty both
New' York and Indiana does not appear
to be Justified even by its own fig
ures. If Wilson receives the electoral
votts of Now Jersey and West. Vir
ginia, in addition to the 197 votes re
garded as "reasonably sure" to be cast
lor him, he would then have 219. or
17 less than the number necessary
to election. There are a number of
combinations of states from which
these 47 votes may come. And in fig
uring combinations It may be well to
remember that Nebraska, which the
World seems inclined to place in the
Hughes column. Is quite as likely to
give its eight votes to Wilson, as it
did in 1912. In 1914 Nebraska elect
ed a Democratic governor by nearly
19.000 plurality and the reasons for
predicting a swing to Hughes next
November are not apparent.
"Certain" Hughes States Bebatablei
Moreover, several of the western
states which the World considers "rea
sonably sure" for Hughes would be
regarded by many close observers' a
decidedly debatable. It is doubtful
whether Wilson's strength in many
western states is fully realized in
the east.
The theory that New York's vote
is essential to the success of either
candidate gives added interest to thj
straw vote which is being carried on
in 22 states by the New York Her
ald. It is declared by the Herald
to be "the most elaborate presidential
canvass ever undertaken" and the re
sults are being published every week.
The first installment appeared last
Sunday and gives some interesting
figures for New Tork city. Voting
places had been established in vari
ous parts of the city with the Idea
of reaching, as many different classes
of voters as possible. The results
of the balloting were as follows: Wil
son 2040, Hughes 1479. Benson (So
cialist) 117. These figures are in
terpreted by the Herald as indicat
ing that New York city will give
Wilson a big majority, but whether
this will be overcome by the up
state vote for Hughes is a much dis
puted question.
The Herald commetun as follow"::

"Some polls In, the canvass are much
more strongly Democratic than even
Democrats would expect. Here , tin
New York city) the great - army of
wage earners' seems to be very favor
able to the president, while the resi
dents of the' up town sections - and
the men engaged in the big business
of the metropolis are for Hughes
Smaller bustnes men thus far can
vassed are inclined to show a prefer
ence for the president."
The Herald takes the view that
either nominee can win without the
vote of the Empire state.
SPEDOie LIED
BY SEVERAL MILES,
J. L MEIER DECLARES
Merchant Willing to Buy Of
ficer Good Instrument to
Safeguard Public, He Says,
"If the speedometer used by Officer
Taylor is to convict these defendants,
I think we ought to get together and
Luy him a new one. I will be will'ng
to buy him one myself for the protec
tion of the public," said Julius L.
Meier, who was one of a group of per
sons in District Judge Dayton's court
yesterday afternoon on a charge of
speeding. "I don't believe these peo-
Pie. who were out on the Highway wltn
tl.eir families, were guilty of speed
ing." He said he had always been cautious
against exceeding the speed limits, un
less perhaps sometimes when scarcely
anyone else was on the road. He
pointed out that he had always given
assistance to Roadmaster Yeon In con
nection with highway work and keep
ing down speeding.
Zs Pined 915.
But the . court found that Taylor's
speedometer was near enough to beinij
accurate to Justify relying on Its tell
tale evidence. So Mr. Meier entered
a plea of guilty and was fined $15.
Officer Taylor said he was going 35
miles an hour.
This group of cases came up for
hearing last Monday and was con
tinued until yesterday afternoon be
cause the reliability of the cheap
make Speedometer on Taylor's car was
brought into question. C. H. Mead of
the Portland speedometer service sta
tion at that time testified that the
speedometer in question was not re
liable and was no longer being manu
factured. Yesterday afternoon C. A. LocKwood
from the same service station testi
fied that he had tested the speedome
ter and found it recorded one mile too
fast.
"Figure Eight" Bole Challenged.
Fred Nowatny was convicted of
going 30 miles an hour and was fined
$10 and costs, which will Include the
fees for the expert speedometer wit
nesses, as be was the defendant on
trial when the accuracy of Taylor's
speedometer was brought into ques
tion. Other speeders who were fined wera:
Fred Stuart. $10; Mrs. A. C. Mason,
$10; A. E. Jackson, $20; K. A. Fear
ing Jr., $10.
J. P. Kiel was charged with exceed
ing the 15-mile limit on the "figure
eight" on the Columbia river high
way. He insisted the county commis
sioners had no authority to fix the
limit at 15 miles. He asked for a
trial, which will be held next Tuesday
afternoon.

any impression upon the voters. It has
been more than offset by the state
ment of Mr. Kndicott and Mr. Johnson,
who are held in the highest esteem by
the citizens of this locality. The state
ment .is as follows;'
"As we have been asked frequently
how we feel as to the coming presi
dential election, we are pleased to
make the following statement:
Wilkon Deserves Well of Country.
"We shall vote for Mr. Wilson. We
believe Mr. Wilson deserves well of
his country. He has handled the for
eign situation with fine courage and
remarkable ability. He handled the re
cent railroad crisis in a masterly
manner. We believe lie took the only
possible means to avoid a strike.
"He has earned and deserves the
confidence of the people. He has at
tended strictly to the business of go
ernment." He is not wasting time
criticizing other candidates, but is at
tending to . the business that the peo
ple employed him to attend to.
Comparative Payroll Figures. y
"As a.'matter of interest to this
community, a few figures are fur
nished: January 1. 1914. we employed
6291 people; January 1, 1915, we em
ployed 7286 people; January 1. 1916,
we employed 9704 people; September
:S, 1916. we employed 11,76 people.
"At the present rate of increase, Jan
uary 1, 1917, we should employ 12,900
people, percentage or increase from
January 1. 1914, to " January 1, 1917,
105 per cent.
"We helieve the reelection of Presi
dent Wilson and the return of the
present administration to power will
be best for the country, as it means an
other four years under a wise, faith
ful and patriotic president.
Ho Intention to TJrgo Employes.
"In making this simple statement it
Is no4 our wish nor thought to urge
any of our employes to vote against
their Jown convictions. We yield to
every1 employe the same right that
we c-airn to ourselves, namely, the
right o vote their own personal con
victions. "BsjJ If this statement of our own
belief influences the vote of otfiers In
favoriof the president we shall be
please1 and gratified.

British have sent 100 "tanks," or
armofed' caterpillar ' tractors, . to the
czar for use against the central powers.
This Information was disclosed her
by the Right Rev. Dr. Huyshe Wolcott
Yeatman-Briggs, lord bishop of Wor-.
rester, who arrived from England to
day. The lord bishop said one of bis
sens, who Is a lieutenant in the Brit
ish navy, went to Russia with the
consignment.
How long ago the tanks have been
sent the lord bishop did not say. but
news of their use. on the eastern front
may be expected In the near future, he
Indicated.
According to a British naval officer
who also arrived today, the "tanks"
on the western front are being manned
by officers and men from the naval
dock yards where' the machines were
fitted up.
The sire has been much exaggerated,
the officer said. He declared they
were not more than 25 feet long. 10
ftet wide and 12 feet high.
"The weight of these 'tanks,' " he
continued, "is from 50,000 to 60,000
pounds. Including guns and ammuni
tion. There Is nothing so wonderful
in their Jumping over the Uerman
trenches, because the latter are nearly
all constructed with narrow openings
to protect the men rrom shell fire.
"The broad, flat wheels are from
five to seven feel long. The body is
strengthened with the finest steel
springs, which keep the machine well
poised and prevent the shock from
Jarring the machinery when the tanks
go over holes or ditches."

had to wait there for the advance of
the left wing: The aasault of the
French across the open, plain was not
delivered until 8:80. The French had
more than a mile of open country to
cross, flat and unbroken as a billiard
table, and were pounded with every
kind of death. Acroae the whole

great holes.
Through all . these , agencies of de

the attack, now 10 days old, Is still
being pressed.
