from Mr.. Perkins. Senator Beveridge
told him he did not intend TO use any

REPORT WILSON WILL WIN
Democratic Leaders in Seven
teen States Optimistic.

William F. McCombs, chairman OF the
Democratic National Committee, gave out
yesterday reports received by him from
seventeen states describing the political
situation az II has been found by state
chairmen and national committeeman.
These reports were practically unanimous
as to the prospect Of a Democratic VIC
tory in November
Among the states now claimed by the
Democrats ere New York, Pennsylvania.
Ohio, New Jersey, New Hampshire and
Vermont.
In answer to a letter by DR.. Cyrus
Adler, OF Philadelphia. seeking more
definite expression from Governor Wilson
as to his attitude toward immigration, the
Governor sent the following reply:
feel that there is a certain impro-
priety In my expressing opinions regard
Ing pending bills in Congress, so long as
there Is an IF connected with my cleo
ton, but / need not hesitate on that ac-
count TO say that ] am in substantial
agreement with you about the immigra-
ton policy which the country ought to
observe. l think that this country can
afford 10 use. and ought to give oppor-
tunity TO, every man and woman OF sound
morals, sound mind and sound body who
comes In good faith to spend his or her
energies In our life, and should certainly
be inclined. so far as ! am concerned 10
scrutinize very jealousy any restriction
that would limit that principle in prac-
tice.
/ moreover beg TO assure you that I
should never consent TO any treaty with
a foreign country which made any dis
examinations whatever among American
citizens on the ground OF creed or race
or religion l put myself very squarely
on record to that effect at the Carnegie
Hall meeting, and, OF course. did so with
tho greatest pleasure.
