l democratic landslide.
I believe Wilson can win without
New York, but is likely to have New
York. Leaving New York out of the
cipiatinu, 1 think Wilson's success is
ured by the electoral votes of the
following slates :
Cetiiiiu for Wilson.
The solid south, certain: Alabama

(icorgia 14, Kentucky Li, Louisiana
10, .Maryland H, Mississippi 111, Mis
souri 18, North Carolina 12, Okla
homa 10, South Carolina 0, Tennes
see 12, Texas 'JO, Virginia 1'J; total,
8.
Others reasonably certain for
Wilson: California 13, Colorado (i.
Idaho I. Illinois 2!), Indiana 1.'), Mich
igan 1.'), Minnesota Hi, iMonlanu 4.
Nebraska 8. Nevada :i, North Da
kola .1, Ohio 24, Oregon .". South Da
kola ."i, I'lnh 4, Washington 7, Wis-
oHsm ill, Wyoming vl ; total, 175.
The sum of these groups would
give Wilson .'l.'i.l electoral votes, which
is 87 more than the 2(i(i necessary to
i choice.
Slight losc Some.
With such a margin, Wilson could
ispnise wilh Michigan. Minnesota,
isconsm, Illinois and Califoruiu and
Mill have 271 votes, or 5 more than
rcuired.
On the other hand, should Wilson
carry New York, as he very likely
will, he could also dispense wilh Indi
ana, Ohio, Wyoming and Nevada.
In oilier words, there is a broad
margin of safety in predicting demo
cratic success.
The slates (with their electoral
voles) which 1 regard as doubtful or
likely to go for Hughes are:
Connect ieul 7. Delaware' .'I, Iowa
