by 10000 Majority.

Prohibition and American party Gov
ernor on Tuesday. He said so himself
last night at complimentary dinner
friends gave for him at the Broadway

There were about two hundred at th9

accompanied by their wives. While he
did not expect to poll as big vote as
that which elected him Governor two
years ago, Sulzer said. the count on
Tuesday night would show plurality
of $4,000 votes for him.
Bella Tokaji, Suffers campaign man
ager, who was toastmaster, was equally
sure Of Suffers success on Election
Day. The Borough of Brooklyn and
Nassau County, former Presidens
Roosevelt's bailiwick, Tokaji said,
would be carried by their candidate.
Glynn, he said, would be beaten by Sui
zer by 10000 majority. Whitman
would be second in the race, he pre-
dicted.
Despite their assurances, SulZer and
his manager announced last night that
they would continue their campaign 10
10 the last hour. They propose TO tour
the upper end of Long Island to-day,
making speeches at College Point,
RidGewood and Lsng Island City.

INDEPENDENTS TO
VOTE FOR WHITMAN
Body of Old Tammany
Men Pledged to Repub-
liCan Ticket.

The Independent Democracy OF the
City and County Of New York, an or
ganization with branches in every AS
sembly district, met last night at It's
headquarters, 466 Eighth av., ana
passed resolutions indorsing District
ATTORNEY Whitman for Governor.
The resolutions began with denun-
citation of the raising of the religious
issue in the present campaign as
clumsy trick Of Tammsny Hall.
John J. Ralligsn, for years an active
TAmmany worker, and few years ago
O candidate for Congress on the Tam
many ticket in mis- district, was chair
man Of the executive committee which
drafted the resolutions.
"Our organization" said Mr.. Halli-
gan last night, "is made up of liberal
minded men, many of whom are
Roman Catholics. l only mention that
because the question has been raised
that Governor Glynn is being opposed
because he is a Roman Catholic. am
sorry that the religious issue has been
raised. but our resolutions brand them
as q clumsy Tammany scheme TO dis
credit District Attorney Whitman"
The resolutions, after recitng that
the organization for the first time in
its history has been forced by the
issues in the campaign TO desert the
Democratic party, pledges all its mem
bers 10 cast their votes tomorrow COR
District Attorney Whitman and the
rest of the Republican ticket
Speakers at last nights meeting
pointed out that the Guardians of
Liberty" the body whose name was
signed to some of the cards which
started the religious discussion, was
a. organization Of educated men,
whereas the cards we're worded in poor
English, such as might have been writ
ten by an ignorant Tammany hench-
man.
The resolutions also condemn Gov
ernor Glynn for playing false with
President Wilson. AS the resolutions
had it, Governor Glynn obviously had
to promise the President to sever al!
Tammany relations before the indorse
ment Of the Wilson administration was
given 20 him, but that "the Governor
still maintains his connection with
Tammany Hall"
The resolutions also attacked tn,
Governor for vetoing necessary apprc-
pristions, citing, as an eX6mple, the ap'
preparation of 100000 for the Ma
tional Guard.
"Thc cutting of OF necessary appr1'
4 priations is not economy" 1t was de
clared.

MILLS URGES REFORMS
Would Abolish State Elective
Executive Offices.

Ogden L. Mills, candidate for the
State Senate, spoke last night to a
large audience at the Young Mems He
brew Association, Lexington sv. and
92d Sc. lie referred to indications of
disquietude in many parts of the coun-
try and the tendency 10 seek new
methods Of government.
Four steps which might prove RENE
dies for the present political unrest
had come TO his mind. Mr.. Mills said.
He suggested as matter for consid-
Grafton the following possible pro-
cedure:
First, do away with all elective ex-
ecutive Offices in rne state govern
ment except those of Governor and
Lieutenant Governor.
Second. give the Governor power 20
appoint the heads of all departments.
Third, have the Governor submit a
yearly budget to the Legislature, Civ
ing the Legislature power TO reduce it,
but not 10 increase ".
Fourth. make the Governor directly
responsible 10 the Legislature, and en-
power the latter TO call the Governor
before it at any time for the purpose
Of answering questions on any act or
proposed Act connected with hi eaicA.

and the general low tone of the state
ticket, makes defeat almost Ger
tainty, these Tammany men say IN
private talks.
One of the surprises Of the cam
raign will be the vote District At
torney Whitman will get in Kings
County. In 1912 Sulzer ran $4,000
ahead of Hedges in Brooklyn. On
Tuesday District Attorney Whitman
will upset the vote, carrying Kings by
at least 5000, according 10 the Repuo-
lican leaders. Tammany at best eN-
poets an even break in the old City OF
Churches.
Yesterday Tammany tried to make
as much capital as It could IN the
closing hours OF the campaign by the
religious issue which has been injected
into the campaign. II scattered
leaflets broadcast throughout the city,
and stacks of them we're on hand in
Governor Glynn's headquarters at the
Vanderbilt
Late last night, G. Henry Payne,
Governor Glynn's press agent, issued
the following typewriter statement
as statement from his chief:
Each new report that | receive from
my friends throughout the state
strengthens my belief that | will win
by decisive plurality.
"As | have already said, Mr.. Whit
mans failure to meet me sqdarely on
state issues has caused practically
every independent in the state 70 throw
his influence toward my election.
an the last week Mr.. Whitman's
willingness TO profit by the intolerant
and un-American issue which his sup
porters had injected into the campaign
appears to have lost him the confidence
Of all broadminded Republicans.
From two upstate candidates to-day
received word that Mr. Sulzer's state
ment that if elected he would give Mr..
Whitman blanket powers as a public
prosecutor and would turn over the
state government TO Mr.. Whitman after
Mr.. Sulzer had finished with it, has
caused the few Democrats who still
clung TO Mr.. Sulzer 70 disown his can
didacy.
Surface indications all point TO my
election. Tne careful canvass made
this week by Democratic leaders up
/ state also indicates q sweeping victory
| for me next Tuesday. but, so far as |
am concerned personally, my chief rea-
son for expecting success IS my belief
/ that the people Of New York can give
/ but one answer 70 an issue which calls
/ into question their broad mindednes
and their American sense of fair play"
Ii will be observed that the Governor
did not indulge in figures in the above
/ statement.

The Senatorial election in Vermont
"a n peculiar one. William y. Dillng-

bent. is candidate for rc-election, and
he is being opposed by another Repub-
lican, Charles A. Prouty. who is run
ming on the Progressive ticket with the
Endorsement Of the Democratic state
committee. Charles ID. Watson Is the
Democratic candidate, but the contest
is looked upon as between Mr.. Dilling-
ham and Mr. Prouty, with the chances
favoring the latter.
Trying 10 Come Back.
The Congress elections havo had
some zest added 10 them by tho efforts
OF q number of oldtimers 10 come back.
Among them are Uncle Joe Cannon,
former Speaker of the House; William
B. Mckinley and John A. Sterling, of
Illinois: Nicholas Longworth, Of Ohio;
Ebenezer J. Hill, of Connecticut, and
r. Wayne Parker. of New Jersey.
The Congressional elections have
many more things TO influence them
than the Senatorial contests. For in
stance. the Woman's Congressional
Union has been campaigning through
the woman suffrage states IN the West
for the defeat OF every Democratic
candidate for Congress, on the ground
that President Wilson and :he Demo
cratic majority in the House have re-
fused TO stand for equal suffrage.
Aside from the election of Senators
and Congressman, there are many feat
ures in this election that are Of inter
est. Twenty-nine states will elect
Governors; woman suffrage will come
up in seven states; statewide prohibi-
tion will be voted upon in five states,
and twenty-one states will vote on
amendments 20 their constitutions on
all manner of reforms, from the in
itiative, referendum and recall TO mu-
nicipal ownership.
The states that will vote upon wom-
an suffrage are Missouri. Montana,
Nebraska, Nevada, North Dakota, South
Dakota and Ohio.
Statewide prohibition will be voted

Washington and Ohio.
The states which will elect Cover
nors on Tuesday are Alabama, Arizona,
California, Colorado, Connecticut,
Georgia, Idaho. Iowa. Kansas, Masss-
chusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Ne
braska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New
York, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma,
Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island,
South Carolina, South Dakota. Tennes--
see, Texas, Vermont, Wisconsin and
Wyoming.
One Of the sidelights Of the cam
paign that is attracting attention is
the efforts Of Senator La Toilette IN
Wisconsin to defeat both Republican
and Democratic candidates for Gov
ernor with a candidate Of his own. Re
ports from Wisconsin indicate htat he
Is not going 70 win.
The most prominent man 70 change
from the House TO the Senate will be
Oscar W. Underwood, whose leadership
has been responsible for the holding
together of the Democrats. Mr.. I'm
derwood will be elected without much
difficulty.

Made in America. -

Movements to popularlze
goods of domestic manutact-
ure are well enough, but as a
rule people buy what suits
them, regardless of where it
comes from. ,
The idea has long prevailed
that foreign made goods, es-
pecially woolens, were supe-
rior to domestic and that idea
is responsible for much de-
ception.
The truth is that excellent
wooIens are made in America
and our own foreign pur-
chases are made chiefly for
originality of style and the de-
sire to offer something differ
ent in texture and appearance
than domestic mills supply.
Throughout the stocks gar
ments made from imported
fabrics are so marked. All
others are made in Amer
ica," where of course all the
garments are produced.
