 On the other hand American salesmen in many
 lines profess to encouraged in the belieE that they induce South Americans to manufactured arti cles that are popular in the United States. Acting on this theory they are conducting what they call "a campaign of education" They are demonstrating the superiority of American made articles in all the cen ters of population.

THE DECIDING ISSUE

In the last analysis the lote election for President turned largely upon the progressive domestic policies or the Wilson administration than on the Questionsoot it's foreign policies or the tariff The fight between the progressive element Of the population and the monied interests. lt the 1896 fight over again. minus free silver. And with this issue. the West and South lined up for progress and the East against u in 1896, wi.h these differ ences: The West more ne2rly sclic the South included the border States of Maryland and Kentucky which Bryan failed to carry 20 years ago. and the East was not nearly so unanimous for the moned crowd-the New England pluralites were small and Ohio slipped into the progressive column.
 West Of the Mir-ouri river there but two States which Wilson failed to carry-South Dakota and Oregon-aud only four west Of the Mississippi the two mentioned and Minnesota and Iowa, and Minnesota is so close that Wilson is likely to get some Of her electors.
 The criticisms of the foreign policies Of Pres dent Wilson failed to reach many aside from those who were opposed him any how. The States along the Mexican border gave him majorities The tariff did not take-the State of Washington. for in stance. with her lumber and shingle industries gave him a majority. The people of the West now, as 20 years ago. are progressive and they approved of the long list of progressive measures that have been writ ten on the statute books during the last four years The East turned slightly toward conservatism President Wilson is securing the things that the West has want ed and dreamed about the West supported him.
 The attitude Of the East the election was srikngy Illustrated by the circumstance that it is said that when the Hughes slump became apparent in the middle West the last week before the election S125oOOO raised in three days by Eastern capi. tasts Go use in the supposedly doubtful States.

FRACTIONAL WARFARE ONCE MORE

The outbreak between Governor and newly elected Senator Hiram Johnson and the old California Guard may be expec ed to be the beginning of general war fare between Progressiyes and Sandpatters, who co' operated in the Hughes campaign. Evidences of com ing conflict were not lacking before the battle of last week William Allen White just before the election held conference with The Colonel and following the conference he announced that:
 There is no pretense among the Pro.
 gressiyes Of this country that they are
 united with the Republican party. The old
 Republican party-the party of Taft and
 Cannon and Aldrich-canno hold the Pro-
 gressives of 1912 They are voting for
 Hughes many Of them, in the sincere be-
 lief that he will wreck and utterly destroy
 the Republican party of 1912 by discredit-
 ing its leadership and dscardng It's con
 seryatsm. Under no other basis would
 they vote for any Republican candidate
 However those Progressives who followed ROose- welt into the compact with Hughes permitted whole lot of other Progressiyes to become aligned with President Wilson, and the coneraderie of joint service and the victory they fighting as comrades with pro- gressive Democracy for the progressive President of the United States will serve to make closer the union provided of course President Wilson shall con tlnue his progressive course and few doubt it. At least these progressiyes may look on at the war be- tween the Whites and the others with complacency

OFFICIAL PAPER ON
 THE IRISH QUESTION
Was Given to the Public by Premier
 Asquith Last Night.

London, July 27. 9.82 D. m.-In &C., cordance with Premier Asquith' s promise, an official paper giving the sense of the agreement arrived at re- gently between David Lloyd George and the Irish leaders in the Irish ne- gotiations was issued tonight. It bears out the contention made in de- bate in the house of commons by John Redmond with regard to the retention of the Irish members of the imperial parliament inasmuch as clause four merely says that the Irish represen- tative in the imperial parliament shall remain unaltered, namely, 103," and says nothing concerning any subse- quent increase in their number.
 With regard to the duration of the new bill, the official paper confirms Premier Asquith statement of July 10, namely, that if parliament had not by twelve months after the war made a further permanent provision for tho government of Ireland then the dur ation of the operation of the bill shah be extended by an Order-in-councH for such time as may be necessary to make such provision.
 The clause referring to the exclu- sion of the Ulster counties merely de- fines the excluded counties, but says nothing about whether the exclusion is to be permanent.
 An interesting clause in the agree ment not previously mentioned gives the lord lieutenant of Ireland power to summon conferences between mem bers for constituencies in the exClud- ed area and members for the rest of Ireland.
 The only new feature in the Irish situation today is that a petition is bein glargely signed in the house Of commons asking for a renewal of the negotiations for an Irish compromise on the lines suggested by John Red mond and Sir Edward Carson.

DEUTSCHLAND CONTINUES HER TESTS BEHIND BARRlcADES
Ca tain koenig Apparently is Wait
 ing for News cf tae Bremen.

Baltimore Md, July 27-With clear ance papers for the submarine freight CT Deutschland in his possession and with everything apparently in readi- ness for the vessels departure, Cap tain Paul Koenig is waiting tonight it is believed, for news from another sub-sea vessel, the Bremen.
 Another indication that the home ward-bound submersible may put into some cove down the Chesapeake Bay to await an opportune time to make a dash out of the Capes, is the quan- tity of coal stored on the after deck of the tug Thomas F Timmins. which will top the Deutschland This is in large sacks, possibly 100 of them. With her bunkers full and this additional supply, the Timmins could stand by the under-sea boat for several days
 The Deutschland continued her tehts today behind the barricade Of barges that is augmented by screens of bur lap to prevent even the briefest peep at the green hulk. The waters out side her slip were covered with oil thrown off in her submerging opera- ton.
 Those on board the interned North German Lloyd steamer Neclar on the other side of the Deutschland's slip evidently were having a good time to- night. The vessel was brilliantly lighted and strains of lively music fOated over the water.
