THE LINE UP OF STATES.
The campaign lias reached a stage where those' who take a
speculative interest in results are placing this state and that
state in the Republican or Democratic classification. The task
of naming the* states which are* ce*rtainlv Democratic e>r certain
ly Republican presents little* elifficultv; the* re*al test of political
sagacity comes when an attempt is made* te> predict the* victor
in the* fifte*en se>-calle*d elembtful state's.
As ,*i basis for the* prediminary classification the* twelve*
SemtJie'ru states may be* counteal as surely Democratic, and it is
gene*rally agreeel that there* are* twenty one* Northe*m stiite*s
which are* just as certainly Republican. This le*aves fifte>en •
state's where- the1 re'eil battle will be- wage*ef. The' three group?' ■
of state's are* as fed lows: ::
Democratic States.

The total number of presidential electors from the forty
eight states is fvll, so that it requires 2(i(i votes to elect a presi
limit Tin* I )i 1 i<* lt'irtv with i 1 < niw*h>iK of 1.‘Ui < »h*(*t ot':i I
votes, lacks 120 of a majority of the electoral college, and the
Republican party, with 240 votes as reasonably certain, lacks
20. It appeals from the analysis of the figures that the Repnb- j
licans start with a big advantage. |
If Mr. Hughes carries all the states in the Republican
column, and with them carries New York, be will have suffi
cient electoral votes to elect him. < >r he could lose both New
York and Indiana and by capturing a half dozen of the smaller
states win easily. <>u the other hand, if the Democratic party
loses New York it cannot win. There is every indienth n that
tin* battle ground of the two parties will be in New Yoik and
Indiana, compared with which contests elsewhere will be mere
skirmishes. Many things can happen before election which will
influence the results, but both parties are opening the fight
with an outward show of confidence.
-_-jo ;
The consistency of some Alaska newspapers is very minis
ing, to say the least! For instance, during the primary election
in Washington state the duneau Fanpire repeatedly criticised
a Republican candidate for Fnited States senator, claiming
that he had never been friendly to Alaska, and should not be j
nominated, all of which it had a perfect right to do. But when
the Seattle Rost Intelligencer published a laudatory editorial
of a certain candidate for delegate to congress from Alaska the
duneau paper becomes very indignant and insists that Seattle
“butt out” of Alaska politics, although it feels privileged to
“butt in” to the game in the states. A fine distinction.
-:o:
The Chamber of Commerce should not overlook the oppor
tunity to make a display at the exposition to be held at Seattle
next month, and thus advertise the resources of Cordova and
the Copper river valley. We understand the other towns of
Alaska have signified their intention of being represented at
the big fair, and as the local Chamber already has a fair exhibit
in its rooms no time should be lost in having it boxed and sent
to Seattle.
-:o:
There is a strong probability that a portion of the $10,000,
000 a year appropriation which the forest service has secured
for the next ten years will be used' in building a boulevard
»round F.vak lake. This liioiiev is to be expended in opening
up |he reserves, and as there are but two in Alaska, the Chu
gaeh and Tongass, in which $40,000 will be available each year,
Cordova is about to reap some benefit from this source.
—-:o:
Did von ever notice a buch of malamutes? They will lay
around peacefully together until some strong dog comes along
und raises a racket, when every dog in tin* pack will be at each
others’ throat. People arc* a heap the same way. One disturb
er can start a whole bunch of fights—Valdez Prospector.
- -:o:-——
Cordova has as its guest Charles A. Sulzer, Democratic
candidate for delegate to congress, and' he should be extended
every courtesy during his visit here by our people regardless
of their political affiliations.
-—— :o
The salmon canning season is drawing to a close and the
plants located here have the satisfaction ol knowing that their
packs were among the largest, if not tin* largest, in tin* territory.
——-:o:— -
Politics is beginning to warm up a little bit hereabouts, and
the indications are that we will experience an unusually lively
campaign before the polls close on November 7.
