Clifford ]. Price, Progressive coun-
ty chairman-"The Progressives in
Wayne county will win at the election
tomorrow by as substantial margin
as they did two years ago, and their
vote will probably be even larger than
it was in 1912. The state ticket head
ed by A ]. Beveridge for United
States senator, will receive an i'm
mense vote, Ebert Russell, candidate
for congress, will carry the county by
handsome plurality and every Pro

issues merely ignoring personalities
and abuse entirely. Tomorrow will be
a big day for the Progressives.
Democratic.
John Harper, Democratic county
chairman-"The entire Democratic
county and state tickets will be victor
ious in Wayne county tomorrow. The
excellent administrations given the
state and nation by the Democrats
have won the confidence of the
Wayne county voters and they will
give us their support at the polls. The

without the approval or knowledge of
the central committee. You can say
that the various Democratic candi-
dates for county offices will be elected
by pluralities ranging from 200 to
500"
Republican.
F. G. White, acting Republican coun-
ty chairman-"The Republicans will
carry Wayne county by a majority of
500 for the ticket from Hugh Miller
down. The drift to the Republican
party is every bit as strong in this
county as it is elsewhere. There is
no question about the result in Rich
mond as we'll as outside Of Richmond
Our poll shows tremendous and un-
expected gains. So much is this true
that the Republican organization is
confident that the result will be in our
favor. Hundreds of Democrats who are
dissatisfied with conditions in state
and nation will vote the Republican
ticket and hundreds of Progressives
who have come to realize that pro
tectonlsts must not longer be divided
and appreciate that because of the re-
organization of the Republican party
in this state there is no further need
for the Progressive party, will likewise
be found in the Republican ranks.
Labor has indorsed the Republican
ticket from top to bottom and there
is no question as to the attitude of the

by the Progressives two years ago are
with the Republican party solidly this
year.

London, May 25.--John E. Redmond
the Irish Nationalist leader, in
statement this evening says that the
division in the House of Commons is
equivalent to a passage of the Home
Rule into law and expressed the ear
nest hope that the Obstetrics, who
are genuinely nervous as to their po-
sition, will abandon unreasonable de-
mands and enter into a conciliatory
discussion with their fellow country
men with regard to the points of the
bill upon their desire for further safe
guards
rTodays division says Mr. Red
mond, marks the death after an in
glorious history of the ia years of the
union of Pitt and Castlereagh. It's
place is to be taken by a new union
founded on mutual respect and good
will between the two islands"
Proceeding, the Nationalist leader
declared that only two eventualities
both impossible, could prevent the bill
from becoming a statute within few
weeks-the first, that the Parliament
airy session should come to an abrupt
en-; the second, that the House of
Commons should suddenly go mad
and decide not to submit the bill for
royal assent-both as absurd contin-
gencies as the suggestion that the
King would withhold his assent.

government that International warfare
can be ayerted and ultimate peace
peace brought to Mexico. 1t was de-
clared that satisfactory base for
working out the international dispute
between the Huerta government and
the United States had been reached.
No assurances have come from eGn.
carranza that he will send represen-
tativcs of the Constitutionalists to the
mediation conference even as listeners
and informants. Denials were given in
official headquarters, however, that
carranza had fatty refused to consid-

The point ia made in some quarters that
even should Carranza's forces complete
their campaign by capturing the seat of
the Huerta government in Mexico City.
such an act would not pacify Mexico
and there still would be need for media
ton. On the part of the United States
assurances were given today that no
more American aeropianes would sail
across Mexican lines as long as hostili-
ties are suspended. This was determined

the creation of technical advisory
organization through which all the in
