REPUBLICANS SEE
NATIONAL VICTORY
Members of G. O. P. in Con-
gress Gratified Over Re-
turn of Progressives.
EXPECT TO CARRY
THE PIVOTAL STATES
Figures of 1912 Are Used as Basis
for Predictions as to
November.

Republicans in Congress are
profoundly gratihed over the
whole-hearted support offered
Candidate Hughes by Col. Roose-
welt and the action of the national
committee of the progressive
party joining in the colonel's in
dorsement of the republican
ticket. The feeling is general
among them that this virtually
assures a republican victory at
the polls in November, since it
promises the return to the repub-
lican column of the rank and file
of the progressives and personal
followers of the colonel who Sc
ceded in 1912.
The fact that reunion was resisted
by a few of the Committeeman Is re-
garded as a on-essential 1t is noted
that the objectors represented Louisi-
ana, Wisconsin and other states whose
adherence to the republican party is
either impossible or of negligible i'm
portance. The big fact is that states
which voted for backing the republican
ticket included those whose electoral
vote will be decisive in the choice of a
President-namely. New York, Ohio,
California, Indiana, Illinois, Kansas,
Minnesota, Nebraska, etc.
Means Support at Polls.
Aside from the sentimental effect of
Col Roosevelt's acceptance Of the re-
publican candidate and ticket, which Is
by no means underestimated by the re-
publican leaders. is the practical assur-
ance OF support at the polls which

lican ticket in 1912 elected President
Wilson and swept the democrats into
control of the House and Senate at the
same time. Two years later. in the
congressional elections. those progress
sixe votes began to return, cutting
down the democratic majority in the
House from 161 TO 81
Since then there have been steadily
increasing indications of the home
coming Of the progressives. as wit
messed in West Virginia and in other
Instances. and as shown in the pri-
| maries last spring.

Would Swing States.

But that is not all; these figures re-
late to the popular vote and are
prophetic of the vote for the House
and for United States senators. The
President and Vice President are chosen
by the electoral college. and it falls out
that the aggregate republican and pro-
gressive votes. if cast in 1916 in the
same proportion. would swing into the
republican column the states which
have the largest representation in the
electoral college. New York. Pennsyl-
vania Massachusetts,, Minnesota, New
Jersey, Indiana, Ohio. Illinois. Michigan,
Iowa are depended upon to give the re-
publicans tremendous lead, to be fol-
lowed up by the adherence of the west
ern states with fewer electoral votes.
OF course. the republican hopes are
qualified by the fact that in order to
win the progressives in those states
must come back. but they say that the
figures show that the states were re-
publican prior to 1912, and they ask
what the democratic administration
has done to cause the progressive and
republican voters to, change their
politics and become democrats. They
say that all the world knows what
caused the split in 1912. and they insist
that no such reason for dissenSion now
exists.

SAN ANTONIO, June 27.-
Gen. Funston and his staff
searched every report from all
border stations today for sign OF
hostility on the part of Carranza' S
army that is pouring into north
ern Mexico, but the real work at
department headquarters was the
supervision of the multitudinous
details incident to preparing the
American force for efficient in
vasion.
Overnight and early morning
reports from El Paso, Eagle Pass,
Brownsville and other headquar-
tiers points indicated no aggres-
sion by Mexicans.
Units Stationed to Advantage.
Units of the American army have
been stationed in such manner that al
most instant action could be obtained
by the commanding officer. No re-
taxation of efforts to guard the border
been displayed. but far more attention
has been paid to marshaling the thou
sands of men along the border.

will not be made public here, and in
most cases those commanding the
guardsmen have not been informed of
their final destinations.
Some impatience was displayed at
Gen. Funston's headquarters today
that SO much publicity already had
been given to the movement of troops.
tain that a censorship that would be
far reaching in its operation soon
would be instituted.
To strengthen the garrison at Eagle
Pass a battalion Of the 3rd Field Artil-
lery was ordered there today. The re-
mainder of the Bird Field Artillery is
stationed at Eagle Pass and Laredo.
More Artillery Is Ordered.
Orders were issued for two more bat
teries of the 5th Field Artillery at Fort
Sill, Okla. to go to Ell Paso. and two
to Brownsville.
Gen. Pershing reported to Gen Fun
ston that the two squadrons Of the
11th Cavalry that had been sent to-
ward Carrizal in search of the dis
persed members of the two troops that
were engaged there by Carranza's
forces have fallen back on the main

by the entente allies on the va
rious fronts is in preparation, if
not in actual process of execu-
ton.
At Verdun the situation has not
materially changed overnight.
Paris reports further progress for
the French in regaining ground
in the region of the Thiaumont
work, north of the citadel. Rather
spirited fighting also has been in
progress in the region of Fleury,
with no alterations in position.
Marked activity continued in
evidence along the Franco-Bel-
gian front held by the British and
the northern wing of the French
line, according to today's Berlin
statement. Numerous gas clouds
are being employed by the entente
forces in the operations, the Berlin
war Office announced. The artil-
lerv fire on the German lines was
intense in the vicinity
of the Somme.
The Russians continue advances
along a greater portion of the
eastern front, while Franco-Brit-

ported to have engaged the
enemy. Italians continue to
claim material gains against the
Austrians in the Tyrolean regions.
Russians also are attacking in

Both these artists are young, but
both have had grand opera expert
ence and innumerable appearances in
the concert field. They will be re-
remembered here, as their perform
ance last year was considered the
best of the entire lyceum course,
They are particularly attractive as a
combination because of the diversity
of their voices and respective styles.
Madame Scotney has a high and
brilliant soprano and excels in the
coloratura arais and in the dainty,
exquisite type of songs, while Mr.
Whites voice is round, full basso

to the dramatic and virile, or to the
emotional sentimental numbers. Their
