The election of William Jennings
Bryan to the presidency of the
United States is a possibility, but
not a probability. The electoral
college will have 447 votes of which
221 constitute the majority neces
sary to a choice.
It is claimed for Mr. Bryan that
he will carry every southern state
and if that claim were well founded
he would receive the following-
electoral votes:
labama 11
Arkansas 8
Delaware 3
Florida 4
Georgia 13
Kentucky 13
Louisiana 8
Maryland 8
Mississippi 9
Missouri 17
North Carolina 11
South Carolina 9
renncssee 12
Texas 13
Virginia 12
Vet Virginia 6
Tnt.il ,.157
Conceding to Mr. Bryan five
mountain states his vote would be
increased as lollowt-:
Solid south 157
Colorado.
Idaho. . . .
.Montana ,
Nevada . .
Utah.. ..
Total 173
Conceding to him the two debat-
ible states Nebraska 8 and In
diana 15 Bryan would have a
total vote of 190, leaving McKinley
251, or 27 votes to spare.
If Bryan should carry the 24
votes ot Illinois, in addition to
these states he would still be
short 3 votes. But Illinois is as
safe for McKinley as Ohio or Massa
chusetts.
If it were possible for Bryan to
carry New York and Indiana, he
still could not win it he should lose
Maryland and Delaware, or Ne
braska and Nevada, or West Vir
ginia and Delaware,
With these figures before ub we
cannot see how Bryan's chances for
election are any better than they
were four years ago, it as good,
