A Good Guess

By Editor

A Good Guess.—In its issue of November 5 Harper's Weekly, an old-time Republican paper, made a guess in substance as follows: That John A. Dix, the Democratic nominee for governor, would carry New York State by 100,000; that Prof. Woodrow Wilson would be elected governor of New Jersey by 40,000; that Judge Baldwin would carry Connecticut by 5,000; that Judson Harmon would be elected in Ohio by 25,000; that Eugene Foss (Democrat) might carry Massachusetts; and Mr. Bass, New Hampshire; that Senator Beveridge, of Indiana, would be beaten; and that there would be a Democratic majority in Congress of 40. It was a remarkably good guess. Dix's plurality in New York is placed at this writing at 66,000; Wilson's, at 46,000; Baldwin's, at 3,500; Harmon's, at 60,000; Foss carries Massachusetts by 33,000; and Bass loses in New Hampshire. North Dakota and Oklahoma and Colorado and Oregon also are in the landslide. The Democratic majority in Congress seems to be 62 with a strong minority in the Senate.
