Maine and Vermont will also elect congressman on the September election. The gubernatorial contests ;n some of the states are of a more than ordinary interesting character. The elections in others will be of a purely prefunctory character, the election of the Republican or the Democratic candidates, as the case may be, being a foregone conclusion.

ANALYSIS OF CENSUS RETURNS SHOWS URBAN BEST IN PLACES. UNDER 50,000 Heavy Gain by Detroit Holds Up Average, But Per Cent Falls Below That of 1900 Washington, Axigiist 30 Care ful though unofficial, analysis o the returns from the thirteenth censsu of cities thus far announc t .1 r . .. cu reveais me lact mat tire increased rate of urban growth for the past decade over that of 1800 -1900 has been confined largely to places having a population' o less than 50,000. While universal there has been a healthy increase in a large majority of cities ex ceeding 00,000 the rate of the prevous decade has not been main tamed. In no instance so far has an actual loss of population 'been shown, and present comparisons are only on the rate o: growth. Up to date the ixopuatlion o: sixty-three cities of more than 25,000 lias been officially announced. These arc somewhat more than one-fourth orf" the esti mated total number of such cities in' the country and presumably the figures- on them are fairly indicative of the general tendency. Of the announcments so far made, four -cover cities of more than 400,000 people. They are St. Louis, with CS7,0 7, or an in crease of 19.4 per cent, as com pared with an increase of 27.3 per cent. a shown by the census oi 1!)00 for the previous ten yeans; rittsiinirg-. with ..J.,1M., or an in creose of 10.i piT cent as against an increase m 11)00 of 31.3 per ceni. ounaio wiin -i?.s, !, an a. II.. ir i - m . increase of 20.2 per cent, as com pared with :17.S per cent -in 1900, and Detroit, with. 4G5,7(iG, an in crease of C3 per cent as compared with 18.8 per cent, ten year a'go. Detroit Helps Average. Even with the superb gain made by the Michigan metropolis, the average for the four big cities, which was 30.2 per cent, was about 3 1-4 per cent below their average for 1900, when the aver age was 33.5 per cent. Without the aid of Detroot the rate of in crease would have bce. less than 20 per cent, or 13 per cent, be low the mean increase of the pre ceeding' decade. Per Cent. Decreases. Denver scored a growth of al most GO per cent, as compared with a little more than 25 per cent for the previous ten years and Kansas City of almost 52 per cent as against Iesi th'an 24 per cent in the earlier decade. With the Colorado and Missouri cities eliminated from epochs the aerage for 1900 would be 2G.8, while that for 1910 would be 27.5, an increase of less than 1 per cent. If only the four cities of between 300,000 and 400,000 Washington, Milwaukee, Newark and Cincinnati are considered, there is a slight falin off in the average growth. The gain for tho ten citks of between 1890-1900 period to the extent of almost 4 per cent, tliie average for 1900 being 35.7 and that for 1910 32 per cent. But, notiwihtstanding this general fall ing ofT, the rate of ruvvth was mere everly" maintain in this thian in any other class. There were not so many extremes. Atlanta with her 154,S39 people and her 72 per cent increase, led tht list for 1010. but for present pur poses this rate wtas almost balancetl bv Toledo's G2 per cent gain in 1900. Two Towns Barrel. The advantage was biso with 1900 in the twenty-two places of from 50,000 to 100,000, the aver age gain being 41. G per cent, as againsjt 39.5 jer cent in 1910. It should be explained, however, that Oklahoma Citv and Schen ectady, X. Y., have been excluded from this calcidation because of the abnormal increase in both. From the 25,000 to the 50,000 rade, 'Muskogee, Oklahoma, and Flint. Mich., are eliminated for the same reasons that Oklahotma Ckv and Schncctadv are taken out of the precceding class. Decause of their wgh figures they would run up to an unwonted extent. Hut even without them the showing1 is altogeh er in fa vor of the last census. Of the cities of this class there are nineteen. With Flint and Ok lahoma City out the mean growth is almost 48 per cent, while the increase for the same places in 1890-1900 was 35 percent, or only little more than half. Of these n'intcen cities thirteen are in the Western five in the Eastorn and one in tue ouliiern laies. ji the entire number only East Or ange, Battle Creek, Colorado Springs. Davenport and 'Woonsocket failed to make as large -a percentiure as in 1900, but as only one of these indicated a gain for this decade of losis th'an 3G per cent the falling a-.vay was only relative.
