Total 131 Before the campaign is begun it is usually possible to say just how many ftvotes In the electoral college each party la sure of. Some states are safe ly Republican, others safely Demo cratic. They never change. In others, the independent voter thrives. A study of tbe map shows that the Republican! have strong holds on the New England states. Their strength, however, begins in tbe Oblo valley andx spreads westward. All tbe "white” states are Republican. The Democratic tide begins In tbe South and sweeps northward and east ward. Its states are black. Scattered all ovqg are the great de batable states, in which tbe Independ ent voter thrives and wbiob are bat tle grounds of both big parties.

The tug Israel W. Durham, with a crew of six men and four other men employees of the American Dredging company, was swamped In the Delaware river early Wednesday during the height of tbe storm. Eight of the ten persons on the little craft were drowned. Halifax, N. S., Is mourning a 1500,- 000 firs. While this tire was not di rectly due to the storm, the flames were fanned and driven forward by the high wind which prevailed. New York suffered comparatively llttie. The wind and rain and llgbt- -ning and thunder was terrific, but little damage was done. /Nineteen ooal bargee went adrift in the bay and their wreckage strews the shore from the battery to the narrows, but no lives were lost. Several small vessels also went ashore on various parts of the coast near New York.

If he should carry New York, New JersCy, Connecticut and Wut Virginia in tbe East, he would lack 12 votu, unless he carried some of the Wutern statu.
