•What 20,000 Votes Would Do
Springfield Republican — Striking
aa is the political map, it becomes
still more Impressive when it is con
sidered that less than 20,000 votes,
a trifle which a big state would hard
ly miss, would have swung Oregon,
South Dakota, Minnesota and West
Virginia to Wilson, leaving Iowa as
the solitary Republican bastion be
yond the Mississippi, and confining
the Hughes territory to the two
not theastern' blocks which Ohio sep
arates. To make the map tell the
full story, of course, it should be
marked to Indicate density of popu
lation, the size of the plurality and
the normal political complexion of
the state, but even the territorial
division is not without significance,
particularly in view of mistaken ef
forts to raise a sectional issue. It is
a reminder that America is a big
country, and that all parts of it have
to be accounted for before the reck
oning is made up. The west has often
complained that the seaboard states
too little appreciate the size and im
portance of the hinterland; it had
its revenge on election night when
Xew York newspapers were conced
ing a Hughes victory without wait
ing to see what the West had to say
i about it.

Independent Packing Houses
k Norfolk Virginia Pilot—While the
big packers are placing responsibil
ity for the high cost of meat upon a
scarcity of live stock, Texas cattle
men are asserting that they would
raise more cattle if the big packers,
who control the market, would buy
them. Here is another argument in
favor of the local and independent
[packing houses, which are already:
[beginning to spring up in some of
[the Southern States, particularly in
{Georgia and Florida. An abundance
I of nearby and easily accessible mar
kets is the one thing needed to open
{the way-for-the South to become the
great live-stock section of the coun
'try.
