PAGE TWO THE CITIZEN. FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1912. 1912 Campaign I for the Governors of More Than Thirty States Are to By JAMES A. LDGEUTON. FItOM tlie amount of uolse mndo over U10 presidential election n mail from Morn would iinnglnc that 110 other olllce thau that of president is to be lllled this year in the land of the three ringed political circus. If so he would 1k a badly fooled Mar tian. We are voting for men to fill Jobs all along the lino from constnblo to United States Fenator. Governors of more than thirty states are to be elect ed and state olllcers and members of the legislatures in many more states, all the members of the lower house of congress, aggregating M? under the new apportionment, and one-third of the members of the senate, which may prove sulllclont to change the political complexion of that body. Tills takes no account of county, city and town offices galore. I don't know what "gn lore" means, and neither does any one else who uses It, but I have a vague suspicion that it means a whole lot. and, ns there are a whole lot of these offices and the word sounds well, it has the call. Governors have already been elected in Vermont, Maine nnd Arkansas, or rntlier the election lias been held in Vermont; but. nobody having received n majority, the choico will be left to the legislature, which will select the Republican candidate. Since the re turns were received from the two New Kngland states all the political proph ets in the nation and several persons who are not prophets have been busy llguring that the results indicated cer tain success in November for whatever political party the flgurer happened to belong to. A iolltlcal prophet can pre dict on less provocation than any sooth sayer in the business. lie foretells the future without money and without price. lie is hardly ever right, but does not permit a little thing of that sort to deter him. The adage that figures don't Ho has no reference to the figures used by the political prophet. Easy Lessons In Political Prophecy. Now. as none of the prophets agree one with another I propose to lot each reader be his own prophot. I have not the official results from Vermont and Maine, but as nearly us I can get the correct figures from the newspapers they are as follows: Vermont, gov ernor, 1012 Republican, 20,259; Demo crat, 20.350; Progressive. 15.S00; total Republican and Progressive, -12,050. In 100S the vote for governor in Vermont was: Republican, 45,50S; Democrat, 15, 053. I add the Republican and Pro gressive together for the purpose of combining with Maine in which these two elements voted for one candidate. It may be added that the Progressive vote In Vermont is .375 per cent of the total obtained by adding it to the Re publican, which is mentioned for what it may be worth in working out per centages on a national basis. In Maine tills year the result on gov ernor was ns follows: Republican, 70, 02S; Democrat, 07,005. In 100S the vote for governor in Malno was: Repub lican, 73,723; Democrat, 00,075. Now, combining ttie results in the two states nnd adding the Taft nnd Roosovelt vote together we have this result for 1012: Republican, 112,087; Democrat, 83,255. For 100S the combined vote of tho two states for governor wns: Re publican, 110.320; Democrat, S2.02S. The vote of the entire nation for president in 1008 was: Republican. 7,C78,00S; Democrat, 0,400,10-1. This furnishes a basis for estimating the popular vote of the nation this year as nccurately as it can bo arrived at from the vote of Vermont nnd Maiue. To estimate tho electoral vote It will bo necessary to have the vote In each state In 100S nnd also tho ta ble of electors to which each Btnto Is entitled in the new electoral college. There Is not space here to give this In formation, nnd, ln'sldes, I wish to Miow some mercy to readers. The Popular Vote. By simple proportion or percentages it la easy to work out an estlmato of the populnr vote of the nation ns n whole, but to figure tho thing for every state would send most ieoplo to nn asylum. However, those bent on their own destruction can get tho necessary Information from almost any political almanac, which can lo bought in the bookstores for a quarter. I refuse to figure tho tiling out further first, be cause tho results might seem partisan, and I have forsworn pnrtlsanlsm In these urtlcles; and second, because I do not want to rob you of tho delight of ciphering It out for yourself. Thus you pee, fellow citizens, I nm furnishing you freo of chnrgo a lesson In campaign prognostication. It should bo entitled, "How Every Man May Be come nis Own Political Prophot; or, the Way to tho Dippy IIouso Mndo Easy." Now go to it and may tho Lord have mercy on your souls I It may Iks added that the Arkansas state election resulted in tho usual Democratic majorities, or a little more bo, and anybody is entitled to draw any deductions from this fact tlint his party leanings call for nnd that aro not for bidden by the constitution.

Ono of tho most sensational of tho nominations both because of Its man ner uud tho fumo of tho man named wns that of Oscar S. Straus by tho bull raooso convention of New York. Straus wns peacefully presiding over tho convention when n stroko of politi cal lightning in tho shape of a long zig zag Individual known as "Suspender Jack" McGeo struck him, after which tho assemblage was swept by a cy clone Mr. Straus has been minister to Turkey under four presidents, wns a member of Rooscvolt's cabinet and Is ono of tho colobratod thrco brothers of whom Nathan Straus, tho milk phi- Innthroplst, Is still living nnd Isldor Straus, tho third, went down in tho Titanic. Not only nro the chief executives of nil these stntcs to be chosen, but tho next congress Is In the balance. All members of the new house must be elected, so that the result In that body will probably bo controlled by tho out come of tho presidential light. In the senate, however, only one-third of the inombers go out every two years, nnd tho political complexion of the body Is more doubtful. At present tho com bined Republican and Progressive vote In tho chamber totals eight more than tho Domoerats, but of the thlrty-ono who go out eighteen nro Republicans and only thirteen nro Democrnts, so that an oven brenk between the two parties in choosing tho successors of these men would make tho body peril ously close. The Fight For the Senate. The senators who go out nro as fol lows: Bacon, On. (Dem.), who will bo re-elected; Bailey, Tex. (Dem.), who will bo succeeded by a Democrat; Bniikhead, Ala. (Dem.), who will clthor be re-elected or succeeded by n Dem ocrat; Borah, Ida. (Rep.), who has Republican and Progressive support for re-election; Bourno, Oro. (Rep.), benten In tho prlmnrlcs; Brlggs, N. J. (Rep.), in n fight for ro-oloction In which Congressman William Hughes and former Senator James Smith nro among his Democratic opponents; Brown, Net). (Rep.), defeated In pri maries by Congressman Norris, who Is supporting Roosevelt; Burnhnm, N. II. (Rep.), who hns no opposition in Ills own party; Crane, Muss. (Hop.), who mny not bo n candidate for ro-eloction; Cullom, 111. (Rep.), benten in primaries by L. Y. Shennnn; Curtis, Kan. (Rep.), against whom Governor Stubbs claims to hnvo carried a majority of the dis tricts In tho primaries! Davis, Ark. (Dem.), who will be re-elected or suc ceeded by a Democrat; Dixon, Mont (Prog.), nominated by Progressives for re-election, but turned down by Re publicans; Foster, Ln. (Dom.), to be succeedod by Representative Brous sard (Dem.); Gnmble, S. D. (Rep.), ln fight for re-election; Gardner, Me. (Dem.), who will Ikj succeeded by a Re publican; Guggenheim, Colo. (Rep.), who will not bo re-elected Governor Shnfroth (Dem.) Is a candidate for his seat; Kenyon, la. (Rep.), ln active fight for re-election; Martin, Ya. (Dem.), will succeed lilmself; Nelson, Minn. (Rep.), hi fight for re-election; Owen, Okln. (Dem.), will probably bo ro-electod; Paynter, Ky. (Dem.), to bo succeeded by Representative Olllo James (Dem.); Percy, Miss. (Dem.), to bo succeeded by former Governor Jumes K. Vardu mnn (Dem.); Richardson, Del. (Rep.), In doubt; Simmons, N. C. (Dom.), will probably lo succeeded by self or Democrat; Smith, Mich. (Rep.), In fight for ro-electlon; Sanders, Tenn. (Rep.), will probably bo succeedod by a Democrat; Tillman, S. C. (Dem.), will succeed himself; Warren, Wyo. (Rep.), in light for re-election; Wutson, W. Vn. (Dem.), in fight for ro-electlou; Wetmoro, R. I. (Rep.), in fight for re election. In addition to theso there are two vacancies, ouo from Illinois, ln place of Lorimer, and ono from Colo rado, ln placo of tho lato Senator nughes. Tlioro is also n Republican senntor by nppolntmont from Nevada whose placo Is to bo filled. Inasmuch ns a cliango of flvo would roverso tho control of tho sennto, some thing of the importanco of tho fight mny lie realized. In both houses tho now Progressive party Is putting up candidates ln almost every Btnto and district, and this factor makes an ele ment of uncertainty that prevents even approximately occurato forecasts. Ono posslblo outcome, in tho senate at least, is that no party will havo a clear ma jority and that tho Progressives will hold tho bnlance of power ns nt pres ent A landslide either way, howevor, might change this. FEWER IMMIGRANTS COME HERE TO STAY. Larger Proportion Leave United States Than In Former Year's. Tho census bureau experts who havo been studying tho Immigration statis tics of tho 1010 enumeration announco that the newer arrivals do not settle in tho United States In such large propor tions ns did the Immigrants of tho pre ceding periods. For example, of tho 13,315,5-15 whlto persons of foreign birth who woro in tho United States on April 10, 1010, al most exnetly 5,000,000 hnd como hero since Jan. 1, 1001. During tho period from Jan. 1, 1001, to April 1, 1010, tho bureau of Immi gration recorded tho arrival in the United States of 8,U48,S00 Immigrants. Of theso C,000,09S, or 00.0 per cent, woro accounted for ns present in tho United Stntcs at tho census enumera tion of April 10, 1010. In tho period preceding tho census of 1000, from Jan. 1, 1801, to Juno L 1000, tho number of immigrants re ported was 3,421,184, of whom 2,(300, 173, or 70.3 per cent, were counted by tho census enumeration of Juno 1, 1000. Of the immigrants who arrived since Jan. 1, 1001, over 1,180.000 settled In Now York city and stnto, adding their number to the 1,543.224 foreign born whites who were here at the beginning of 1001.

STOMACH IN HIS THORAX. English Boy Dies Doctors Were Un able to Diagnose Case. What Is belloved to have been a unique surgical experience was related at an inquest In London over tho body of a boy four years of ago who was run over by a cart some time ago, but was apparently not seriously hurt. The boy was kept in a hospital for a week and then sent homo apparently fully recovered. He died suddenly three weeks later. Tho autopsy showed that tho boy's stomach was missing from its regular place, and there wns a hole about ouo and one-half inches lu diameter In the diaphragm. An examination of tho thorax showed that the stomnch waB there. It was greatly dilated, being as largo ns that of a man. There was a large vacant spneo on tho loft side of the chest, and tho loft lung had com pletely collapsed. Tho pressure of tho stomnch displaced the heart, causing i dentil from syncope. The child did not complain of pain and played around as usual. 7-Year-Ohl Girl Attacked by Hog. Grace Arnold, aged 7 years, will probably bo crippled for life, as the result of a vicious attack mado on her by an angry hog a few days ago. Tho Injured girl is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Arnold, of Greenville township. She was holding tho door of tho pen while an employe of Mr. Arnold was engaged in separating tho pig from her young. Suddenly tho maddened animal broke through the door and seizing tho child by the loft leg proceeded to drag her around the lot. The timely arrival of Mich ael Baker saved the child's life.
