Women's clubs and organizations
OF many kinds throughout the land
are protesting against much Of the
present vulgarity in dress. It would
be very satisfying to American pride
if a declaration Of independence in
clothes could be but made. 1t Il not
too much to hope that with all the
widespread study OF art and culture
in the modern sex there should be
developed a distinctive style for
American women Tit need not sac
rif1ce any of the beauty of the past,
yet could be formed along lines com
forming to the national and radical
spirit Dignity, beauty and service
are within our powers. Originality
and resource are marks of our time.
BY studying the needs Of American
women and using designs for orna-
ment suggested by native flowers and
native traditions, America might set
the styles abroad instead Of being a
slavish mitator.-Ridhmond Times

That Taft Will Carry but TWO States
Roosevelt None.
That the results Of the state elections
. 10 Vermont and Maine mean tremen-
dous Democratic victory FRI November
l. freely admitted BY all except the bit
terest partisans. Political experts have
done much analysing, and some claim
to have reached novel conclusions. But
these facts stand out:
On Monday, Sept O, 1912, the Repub-
lican and third term parties combined
elected William II. Ha1nes governor OF
Maine over Frederick WV. Plaisted, the
present Democratic incumbent BY
R,023 plurality; IN 1908, presidential
year, a Republican was elected COVER
nor by 1858 plurality; r. 1904 the plu-
rality was 25,SOO and In 1900 IL was
;G4,132- I'm other words, in twelve
years the Democrats have cut down
the Republican plurality ln state cleo
lions by 31,109.
In this period the Democratic vote
has increased from $4,000 Co $4,000,
whereas the Republican vote has de-
creased from $4,000 to 71.OO0 The
Democratic vote OF this year exceeds
that o. September, 1908, by 1000, but
the Republican vote is about 1900 Less
than that party cast four years ago

following the election Of William T.
Haines, ID pronounced I& the dtvt
sion tn Maine in November iS aS 1t
was In the recent Vermont election
glH-tenths OF the Republican vote will

velt and one-tenth fpr the Demo
Gratis. IL IL significant that the latter
party has to date suffered 70 losses
az compared with the vote In previous
years, from the third term move
ment- On the contrary, II has gained,
The result Ia Maine may be expected
to b. something like this: Wilson, 74.
900; Taft, $4,000; Roosevelt, 21y3O0
The returns from the recent Vermont
election show in round figures that
the joint Republican and third party
vote was per cent short OF the Re
publican vote four years ago, while
the Democratic vote n that state
shows gain OF % per cent over that
OF 1908. III A. OF special interest 70
speculate what will happen next No
vember throughout the nation lf the
Republican and Democratic vote for
the national tickets happens TO be az
fected al the gubernator1al vote this
month tn Vermont has been affected
The New York Post has done some In
terestIng figuring along this Line, and
as a net result 1t f. shown that under
The contingencies mentioned President
Taft would carry only two states tn
November, Rhode Island and Vermont,
all the others going for Governor VIII
son. The conclusions reached by the
Post follow:
TO compute this result we should
have to deduct 8 per cent from the
vote cast for Taft four years ago and
.apportion the remaining vote I'm the
ratio of 62 to 30 between Taft and
Roosevelt, and we should have to add
G5 Der cent to Bryan's vote I'm 1905
and give the ''demn1tion totaf'' to
Woodrow Wilson-In other words, give
Taft 57 per cent and Roosevelt Sd per
cent of Taft's vote four years ago
and give Wilson 125 per cent OF Bryan's
vote four years ago.
The result I'm round numbers would
be as follows, so far as regards Taft
lnd Wilson.

Hay Fever is due TO an irritated, in
