There are 531 votes in t*>e Electoral College and 266 are nec? essary for a choice. "As a basis for this forecast, the Herald has had a personal poll of 319.331 voters, by far the largest number that has ever expressed a preference In a pre-e ectlon canvass. Th * poll has been supplemented by the observations end the conclusions of experienced political reporters, who have gone Into every county of every debatable State. and talked with men In every walk of life. "In the division of the electoral votes, as a result of the canvass, the Herald has given to Governor Wilson 13? from the eleven Southern States, whn h are conceded to Governor Wil? son. They sre Alabama. Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Loulriani. Mississ? ippi. North Carolina. South Carolina, Tenneasee, Texas and Virginia.

The one thin* which stands out in all the i? purls, and which may bo the determining factor of the election, is thi.t the Democratic party is practi? cally united while the Republican pa*ty is divided." The Evening Tost today says: "The Presidential campaign of 1118, in many respects one of the most ex? traordinary in American history, is tin shed and awaits now the verdict of the ballot box. Judging by all the ordinary tests of political mathe? matics and political experience, Wood row Wilson, of New Jersey, and Thos. R. Marshall, of Indiana, each the Governor of his State and nominees of the Democratic party for Presi? dent and Vlco President, respectively, wl 1 be elected by an overwhelming pit rallty, possibly an actual majority, of tho popular vote and by an even mere impressive majority of the elec? toral votes of tho StateR. Every or #11 nary probability indicates that the J ><mocratlc ticket will receive not less than 387 out of the T>31 electoral votes ? far in excess of the Sffl required for an actual majority."
