lated to keep the issues before the voters for the next four weeks
 Both President Wilson and eX-Jus- tice Hughes arc expected to make pleas here for their own support be- fore the polls open. in the list Of other speakers scheduled for the campaign are not only party leaders in the state, but also democrats and repub- licans of prominence from all over the country, including senators, represent tativeS and former and present Cabl- net officers Former President RoOSe- welt will deliver at least ono address in behalf of MT. Hughes.
 Although the progressive party will have no candidates in the field, the trend of individual progressive senti- rncnt is regarded as the most :ntcrCst- inc. factor in the situation, with lead CTS on both sides confident that they will obtain the bulk of this vote Un- iii tho DrOcrcSSiVe-rcp split of 1912, tho state was rated as regularly republican and, notwithstanding a democratic victory for governor and legislature in 1910, which was ac- counted for largely by a fight over To- cal issues. including prohibition and state finances, party managers were accustomed to sean tj1c returns main- ly to determine the size of the rcpub- lic&n plurality.
 Four years ago the republic ans were successful in the vote for governor at the September election, but inc mar gin was small, and the following Mo- vember the state went for Wilson for president with Colonel Roosevelt, the progressive candidate as second choice. In 1914 Governor William T. Haines, republican, was defeated for re-Clec- ton by Oakley C. Curtis, democrat, with a progressive candidate also in the field. The progressive vote in that year was a little over Onc-third that returned for Roosevelt two years be- fOle.
 All political forecasts agree that the vote this year will be the largest ever cast, as in addition to tho state off COTS and congressman, two United States senators arc to he chosen for the first time in the state by direct vote.

The above is the text OF a cablegram
sent out by James G. Blaine, Garfield's
Secretary of State. 1t was submitted to
the members of the Hughes Club at
tending the dinner given by the presi-
dent of the club, William r. Harr, by
Simon Wolf. who made a stirring address
on Republicanism.
Mr.. Wolf in his address contrasted the
weak and vacillating policy of the ad-
ministration in dealing with Mexican sf-
fairs, with the firm attitude OF the gov

and suggested that it would have been
well for the present administration in
dealing with the outrages committed upon
American lives and property in Mexico,
TO have profted by the cablegram sent
the Mexican Minister, as quoted above.

unaccustomed to think for herself,
Ihe Girl accepted the explanation
OF the stupendous sacrifice, and went
her way to acquire more expensive
tastes and more snobbish friends
along with her degree of scholar
ship.
And through the years of her edu-
cation The Woman spent what there
was left OF her money and what
there was left of her fading strength
going her work-a-day way with
yet a smile on her lips, believing in
The Girl and looking ahead to the
years after her homecoming when
the younger hands should steer the
wheel, and she should rest from her
labors in the sweet and gentle COM
panionship of her daughter
Happiness of seeing The Girls
graduation was denied The Woman
When the day came The Mother
lay In hospital cot too exhausted BY
work to- care very much about get
ting we'll. Until she saw The Girl.
The radiant young presence gave
her courage to care-that IS, until
The Woman heard her talking in
low tones to The Man Person
who had accompanied her from COL
lege, and shadowed her footsteps
thereafter.
Il am troubled about mother" p"
said The Girl to him in a low voice.
She's been a brick, of course, but
can't just see what we shall do
with her. To give her a home with
US wouldn't be fair either to her or
to ourselves-she wouldn't BE-
LONG in our set, and we would all
be horribly uncomfortable"
"Of course" sympatized The Man
Person, "she would be a bit of a
drag. but never you worry. Well fix
her up somewhere else-er-er-a
bit out of the way, you know"
And The Woman, lying i'll,
HEARD.
She turned the eyes that had
grown dim with too many tears full
upon The Girl; saw the troubled
young face turned toward her fance;
pictured herself as she had plodded
through all the years stamping out
her own youth for the sake OF the
little one she had so loved; saw
those ahead-bitter, desolate years,
ostracized from The Girl and the
life she planned for herself, and sud
denly the will to get we'll went out
of the heart of The Woman and she
turned her face to the wall of the
hospital ward.
And when, few days later, the
doctor watched the discouraged spir-
it slip out of its hampering shell he
could do nothing.
For" he told the nurse beside
him, The Woman lacks the wish to
get we'll"
The Washington herald., 1916-09-30

Blinded to the real thing beneath
by the brilliance of his veneer The
Woman married The Man while she
was too young to know much Of
life or the men who walk its way
And when The Girl was yet a tiny
tot clinging to her frock The Man
betook his worthless self to other
regions and The Woman heard of
him no more.
At first she was heartbroken, for
despite his neglect and improvident
nature, he possessed a charm that
had prevented the love she bore him
from quite dying out. But after a
little, when the days of her youth
had gone, and she realized how de-
spicable had been his conduct to-
ward her and the baby he had left
in her keeping, The Woman set
herself to forget him. So it came
about that in place of the love of
her youth a great bitterness grew
in her heart toward The Man.
And all the love of her nature re-
verted to The Girl. The Woman
loved her better than her own life,
and she made up her mind that she
should be shielded from all the
rough places in life; guided around
a too early marriage through an
equipment for life that would ht
her to do splendid things for her
self without the aid Of any man.
So The Woman watched the little
flower in her keeping grow and un-
fold and become sweeter day by
day, and the heart of her was so
proud that it was as nothing to
her that she toiled through all the
long day and half the night that
The Girl might be spared contact
with hardship of any sort whatso-
ever.
When The Girl was ready for COL
lege The Woman, although yet far
from middle age, was gray, and
stopped, and weary. But no one
knew of the WEAKNESS because hers
was a courageous heart and never
complaint rose to her lips of the
unceasing work.
But when The Woman saw that
even her greatest effort was made
Quate to the demand of The Girls
higher education it seemed to her
that the whole of her sacrifice
through all the years was a futile
thing if now she must fail in the
further development of the young
life.
So she held counsel with herself
ard no word of her reason escaped
her when she decided to sell the one
thing of value she possessed-the
little home that had been her IA
theirs wedding gift to her.
To The Girl she said it would be
too lonely for her in the house after
she had gone away to college, and,
