remaining twenty-six states gave their electoral votes to Wilson, but in each case by q minority vote. in each case against the expressed preference of the majority of those who voted.
 "The electoral vote of these twenty six states aggregated PSI, or more than a majority of the electoral college. These states alone. all of which voted against Wilson four years ago, can elect his successor These states are Colorado. Connecticut, Delaware, Ida ho Illinois. Indiana Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Mis- souri. Montana. Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Dakota, Ohio. oregon, Rhode Island West Vir- ginia. Wisconsin and Wyoming. Tn eighteen of these states the majority adverse to Mir. Wilson was substantial | ly running in some cases up into the hundreds of thousands In the other eight cases it was not so large, but that group of eight includes four states which even MT. Mccormick would not think of putting into the Wilson col umn-Maine. New Hampshire. Rhode Island and North Dakota. The other four of them. Maryland, Missouri, Ne vada and New Mexico. are all close and doubtful.
 "Mr Mccormick has been amusing himself by claiming Connecticut. where the majority adverse to Wilson in 1912 was 27 S92. Illinois where it was 245.0l4, Massachusetts where 1t was l34.76S. Michigan where 1t was 2l6.077 and Minnesota where 1t was S3,764. The democratic adverse vote of lS9,974 that t gave four years ago. and despite the fact that twice since 1912 il has gone republican by more than 100,0 0,0C0.

Mccormick and his rainbow chasers as doubtful. gave 93. 305 and 5l. .392 against Wilson in 1912 And so it goes through the whole list

 WASHINGTON, Oct. 3O-Eliseo Ar redondo, Mexican ambassador -desig- {. nate, arranged today to see Secretary Lansing tomorrow for the purpose of repudiating the statement attributed to Luis Cabrera assailing the administra- tion of American neutrality and immi- grafton laws. The ambassador eX pected to make the call today but postponed it because of illness. His eN- planation. which will include Mir Ca breras disclaimer of responsibility Tor the statement probably will close the incident.
 MT. Arredondo also will take up with Secretary Lansing published criticism of the American administrations deal ings with Mexico attributed to Gen erals Carranza. Obregon, Gonzales, and other high officials of the de facto government. It has been stated at the embassy that MT. Arredondo has been instructed 10 deny the authenticity of the alleged quotations.

NEW YORK. Oct. 30.-"The cam paign IS practically ended. and there is nothing to it but the election of Hughes" said William k. Wilcox, chairman of the republican national committee at republican national head quarters here today When the votes are counted on the night of November 7th 1t will be found that at least 3l4 Hughes and Fairbanks electors have been chosen and it may be a .consid- erable number more. I look for an old time republican victory. Every thing points that way.
 Remember that this is q republican country There are more republicans in it than there are democrats. The republicans outnumber the democrats in normal times by more than a mil lion. They outnumber the democrats in many states and the aggregate of the electoral votes of the sure republi- can states IS much greater than aggre- gate of the electoral votes of the sure democratic states.
 "It is only when the republican party is suffering from some untoward cir cumstances such as operated against it four years ago. that the democrats have any chance to win a national election in this country. The trouble with tut GeUetfallC fNdHaEtTH III lNe4i extravagant claims for victory this year Is that they are still thinking and talking in terms of 1912 whereas this , is 1916 The republicans are acting together this year and they very much outnumber the other fellows
 Tt is perfectly obvious that Mir. Me Cormick and his colleagues in putting out their extraordinary claims figure |, the states which gave their electoral vote to Wilson in 1912 as democratic i But the fact is that there were no more ! democratic states in 1912 than usual ! Mir. Wilson carried only fourteen states , four years ago-Arizona. Arkansas Florida. Georgia. Kentucky. Louisiana
 Mississippi North Carolina, Oklahoma South Carolina, Tennessee. Texas anC Virginia These are the only states II
 which MT. Wilson secured the major ] ity of the popular vote. and il is onll
 those states which he can be said |, i have carried. Every other state in thu 1 Union voted against him.
 Mir. Roosevelt secured the electora
 vote of six states-California, Michi | gan. Minnesota. Pennsylvania, Soul [ Dakota and Washington. and Mir. Taf

sued by the joint commission con- erning improvement in conditions in Mexico:
 The American commission in the course of it's proceedings today called upon the members of the Mexican commission for their reasons for be- lieving that the Carranza govern mont is growing in strength. Their answer touched a large variety of in ternal matters. They said that out rages against the church had totally ce1sed as the Carranza goverrmen had grown in power and that mo, than % per cent of the clergy were in their regular churches carrying on their holy offices.
 In all the states a large numbe' of grammar schools have been created md in some states five times as many such schools are in existence today as there were a year ago
 "ln the state of Yucatan alone over 2000 public schools have been established
 Throughout Mexico number Of pub li.- works are heinz constructed ;w lines of railroads man wh1rvc roed7 nine H~es river and Ea-bo improvements.
 And most important of all radica change has been going on from the military system of government. to a civil basis excepting where there is @ state of quasi-war.
 These statements were. in part supported by official and other naper, which also showed an increasing acti. vtv in mining.

GIla strong Tor Nlbbey
 That Gila county will give Governor Kibhey majority over his opponent is the opinion of many men who are familiar with political conditions in this county. AriZona's best loved governor has a tremendous following here and in view of this. several of the most conservative republican lead CTS are claiming the county for him by safe majority. And surely, tonight's S meeting proved the opinions of those who believe he will carry Gila. The reception accorded him was wildly enthusiastic and most sincere.
 The big laboring element in the dis trict feel particularly friendly toward him as a result of his fair treatment of them when he was territorial gOv- ernor His constant readiness to be- friend them and his honest manner ing advantage of them, even in small things.
 Tomorrow night another big rally will be held in Miami at which all of the candidates in the first campaign party who spoke tonight, will be pres ent Miami is the home of Joe V Prochaska, the popular candidate for secretary of state, who is claimed by three counties. His many friends are planning a tremendous reception for him. which will be followed by a ban ouet to be held in his honor. Surely Joe Prochaska is the most popular man in Gila county which is mani fested by the manner in which he is being royalty received in all sections.

loudly claiming that Mir Wilson's ob- vious courting of the labor vote will be reflected in the returns. l do not believe it. The labor vote of this county is not class vote and cannot be delivered in bulk and for every vote that MT. Wilson wins by such methods. I repeat, this country is re- alienated at least one other vote from the laboring men who were not caught by his schemes, to say nothing of the independent voters he has lost by these methods. l repeat this county is re-
 publican and 1t is going to elect re- publican administration and congress next week. Every test that has been made and every count that has been had shows the result. Charles Evans Hughes will succeed Woodrow Wilson a. president on next inauguration day"

For Wilson e51 This is the result of a par tisan poll of Princeton Alumni taken by a committee of graduates from that university under the au- spices of the Hughes National Col lege League The poll reveals that 492 Princeton Alumni who voted for Wilson in 1912 are going to vote for Hughes this year; whereas, 57 is the total Taft and Roosevelt vote which is going to Wilson. Equally significant is the fact that 360 men who voted for Roosevelt in 1912 are going to vote for Hughes and only 37 for Wilson. In other words, over 90 per cent of the progressive vote is going 10 Hughes.
