PATRIOTISM AND COMMON SENSE VIC

TORIOUS.

The issues of this presidential campaign are patriotism and common sense, opposed to Bryanism. On such an issue the American people will vindicate their patriotism and their common sense by defending the flag against all who assail it, whether under or beyond the jurisdiction of the constitution, and by refusing to strike for lower wages and lower prices through voting for the advocate of cheap money, which produces cheap commodities and cheap men.

In our issue for June 30, 1900, under the title of "The Election Puzzle of 1900," we published a list of states showing a total safe Republican vote of 182, a safe Democratic vote of 136, and doubtful votes, 129.

We now announce our conviction that the Republicans will carry every state that did not enact an ordinance of secession except Missouri. If the people of the southern states are capable of rising above their traditional prejudices and voting as they know their welfare and the welfare of the country commands, every state in the Union will cast its electoral votes for the Republican candidates. Every state classed as doubtful in June will be carried by the Republicans and two of the states classed as sure Democratic states will also be carried by them. In order that our readers may see these changes we publish the following table;

In our next issue we will give our reasons for making this estimate. We will now say that it is based on the belief that every agency and influence now being used to effect the election of the Republican nominees will continue to be used until and upon the day of election, with all the energy and diligence that can be commanded for them, to the end that patriotism and common sense may be brilliantly victorious.

HURRAH!!! THE COUNTRY IS ALL

RIGHT!!!

On another page we publish a table showing election estimates and results. Public Policy's estimate, June 30, just after the Republican and before the Democratic convention, claimed only 182 Republican electoral votes. New York Herald, October 1, claimed 258; Public Ledger, October 2, claimed 205; New York World, October 2, claimed 266; Public Policy, October 13, claimed 318.

Chairman Hanna, November 4, claimed 311. His estimate includes Kentucky, North Carolina and Tennessee, all of which have gone Democratic, but does not include Kansas, Utah and Washington, all of which have gone Republican.

Vice-Chairman Payne, November 4, claimed 302. His estimate includes Kentucky, but does not include Utah. If Kentucky is finally counted for the Republicans every state claimed by Mr. Payne will be in the Republican column, with one to brag on-Utah.

In our next issue we will give our reasons for making this estimate. We will now say that it is based on the belief that every agency and influence now being used to effect the election of the Republican nominees will continue to be used until and upon the day of election, with all the energy and diligence that can be commanded for them, to the end that patriotism and common sense may be brilliantly victorious.
