Only One National Party.

With the comprehensive political ig- norance which seems to be character istic of the American weekly press, Golfers refers to ''the South which supplies the bulk of the Democratic votc."
 It is not the South but the North which supplies the bulk of the Demo- cratic vote. In 1912 MT. Wilson's vote In New York alone was 655,475, and his vote in Alabama, Arkansas, Flor ida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia amounted to 6S2, ,1S9.
 The Democratic vote of New York practically equaled the total Demo cratic vote of nine Southern states. The Democratic vote in Pennsylvania exceeded the Democratic vote of Texas and Tennessee combined. One third of the total Democratic vote of the country came from five Northern states-New York, New Jersey, Penn sylvania, Ohio and Illinois. The en- tire South supplied only one-fifth.
 The Republican party is still a sec tiOnal party. The Democratic party alone is national party.-New York World.

 plain collar with hemstitched hem is made of the sheerest organdie. It is exactly in keeping with the style of the gown and makes the most appro- priate accessory to be worn with the V-shaped neck. Other details of the toilet should be thought out in order that they may not conflict with the character of the gown, which is sedate. Shoes and silk hose to match, and a simple and carefully dressed coiffure will carry out the quiet and admirable reserve of this pretty frock. There is place for it in every wardrobe.

TWO FORMS OF PROTECTION"
Democrats Would Hold and Extend Foreign Trade-Why Mir. Hughes
 Is Not Pleased.

You couldn't get a decent protec- tionist measure out of a Democratic congress, sectionally organized, any more than you could get a revival ser mon out of a disorderly house. You cant do It."
 On the same day in which Candidate Hughes presented this elegant simili- tude to the country the house judiciary committee of Q Democratic congress reported bill legalizing combinations to engage exclusively in the export trade.
 Any such action as this, however, probably does not come within what Mir. Hughes means by the term pro tection." It does not imply tariff taxes against foreign trade; it implies only action to hold and extend our foreign trade. It is an outward-looking form of protection to American industry, while Mir. Hughes contemplates an in. ward-looking form of protection" It proceeds on the accepted military theory that offensive action is the best kind of action in defense, while the best defense with Mir. Hughes is evil dently to cut and run.
 In this view of what constitutes "a decent protectiOnist measure" Mir. Hughes is probably right about Dem- the country's industry and foreign trade if the same could be said of any other congress.

Not to Embarrass MT. Huahes.

By calling attention to the fact that a president with even one house of congress in opposition to him political ly must be gravely handicapped" MT. Hughes furnishes an excellent req son why he should not be elected this year.
 In the present senate the Democrats have clear majority or 16, with three or four ProgreSsives who are more in- clined to affiliate with them than with Republicans. It is, of course, possible that there may be a Hughes landslide, but there are no signs of it. If Mir. Hughes should be elected by a normal vote, the Democrats might lose several seats in the senate and still be in con- trol of that body until 1919
 This is not good time to establish mixed party government. Worse than swapping horses while crossing a stream is an attempt under such con- ditions to ride horses going in differ ent directions. The reelection of Mir. Wilson is not exactly what Mir. Hughes has in mind, to relieve himself of this embarrassment, but it is the only sure remedy.

ARE WITH WILSON
Many Progressives Will Vote the
 Democratic Ticket.
Logically They Cannot Support the Republican Party, Still as Reac- tionary as When They Left
 Its Ranks.

The chairman of the Democratic na- tional committee publishes long and significant list of Progressives in the far West who have assured him of their intention to vote for. MT. Wilson. Men and women who have been influ- ential in the Progressive councils, who have been the Progressive candidates for national or state office, names of distinction and character, are on the roll. Ungrateful for MT. Hughes sud den flop to federal woman suffrage, even Progressive woman suffragists are turning to MT. Wilson.
 If principles mean anything, If the Progressive party was anything more than. an expression and vehicle of MT. Roosevelt's political hatreds and choir to hymn his worship, the mass of Progressives who believed in 1912 that the Republican party was reac- tiOnary cannot now be herded back into that party unchanged, unrepent- ant, bossed by the same old bosses, de- void of any issue save the noble one of locating Wilson" and getting the offices.
 Those Progressive men and women who were most earnest in 1912, as they still are, see the progressive and re- form legislation accomplished or ad- vocated by Mir. Wilson and the Dem- crats. They see themselves contempt uously treated as puppets by the mas ter of the show. They see the railer at bosses trying to boss the party that was all for the rule of the people, lican party. They know that Mir. Hughes name is but a cloak of the Republican bosses, the same old or ganization against which they revolted four years ago. They see, sorrowfully or bitterly, that MT. Roosevelt has no fondness for being in a minority; that to him the sole remaining use of the Progressive party Is to serve as his bridge back to Republicanism.
 The position of the distinguished Progressives who have informed Chair man Mccormick of their resolve to vote the Democratic ticket, the pro- gressive and constructive ticket, is en- couraging to Democratic prospects,. A stronger hope is to be found in the un- distinguished, silent, and sincere Pro- gresSives who, like them, resent the at- tempt to deliver the Progressives, un- consulted and unwilling, to the Re publican party. The Wilson Progress sives are strong body, and not In the far West alone.

Iy assume the obligation resulting tional event.
 "The time has arrived when high, way conventions should have more of an official character. There should be a good-roads meeting in every town ship in the United States at least once a year, held under the charge of the chief highway official of the township There should be at least one county meeting held every year in each cOun' ty, under the charge of the county en gineer or the chief highway official There should be one state meeting in each state each year, under the charge of the state highway commis- sion. Then the local automobile clubs the good roads associations and others could cooperate in these conventions as their interest and location war ranted. The township, county and state meetings should be held before the national meeting, so that at each of the smaller gatherings delegates could be named to go to the national convention, which in reality would be q great good roads school, lasting for one week or two weeks, in the city of Washington, under the charge of the most important highway official of the country, namely, the federal authority in charge of governmental expenditure"

Sees Massachusetts Democratic.

"With absolute harmony among the Democrats and bitter factional differ ences dividing the Republicans, we have more than a first-class chance to carry the state for the president this year." declares Dr. John w. Coughlin of Fall River, Democratic national committeeman for MasSa chusetts.
 "The Democrats have not settled upon a candidate for governor. Form CT Governor Walsh, who is in the far East, doubtless could have the nomina- ton if he wanted it, but he is not in the country. l do not know who may be chosen, but you may be sure that there will be no factional controversy. Former Representative O'Connell has been talked of as a candidate for the United States senate.
 "1 am more than pleased with the situation in Massa chusetts. Even the Republicans must admit that their party Is split, and that the differences must have an influence on the vote. To help the Democrats the industrial conditions will undoubtedly contribute largely. Workfngmen everywhere are employed at good wages, prosperity abounds, money Is plentiful and the country Is at peace. And when that Is considered, the chances of Demo- cratic success are certainly very great. Throughout the nation parents are thankful that the president has kept the country out of war, and this slo- gan you may be sure will be emblaz- oned on many transparency in the campaign this fall. He kept us out of war; And he did it with honor to our own nation. Our people do not want war. The little taste the miIi- tiamen have had of 1t is quite enough to demonstrate what war would mean"

GOOD ROADS
FOR PROMOTING GOOD ROADS
Suggestion Made by. Chairman DiehI for Great National Congress to
 Be Held in Washington.

''Unquestionably the time has ar rived for a great national road ccn- gress to be held once a year in the national capital under federal govern ment direction" asserts George C.. Diehl, chairman of the American Au- tomobile association good roads board.
 "This gathering in Washington would be under the auspices of the United States office of public roads and rural engineering of the depart ment of agriculture" continues Mr. Diehl, land the event could be made most comprehensive in its scope; there could be a complete exhibit of road machinery and road materials; there could be sample construction of vari- ous kinds of highways; road schools could be conducted for state, county and town engineers, and various tech nical phases of the work could be set forth by trained experts who would gladly attend such a great good-roads event.
 ''Then there would come the interre- lated phases of road travel, and road transportation. Undoubtedly the de partment of the interior, because of it's national parks, would set forth the scenic attractions which are under government supervision. Various states would be given opportunity of adver- Using their attractions.
 'The good-roads board believes in state highway conventions which are generally called for a specific purpose in the endeavor to concentrate the eff forts of road enthusiasts for definite ends. These state meetings are of in- calculable value, for tile state is the political subdivision which must carry on by far the greatest burden of future road construction and maintenance.
 With the vast amount of funds be- ing expended throughout the country, the government of the highway depart ments is becoming largely a question of scientific management, and it is be- lieved that if the county were the smallest unit of administration greater efficiency would result. The numerous state gOod-rOads meetings converged into a great national congress once a year, held in the national capital, it is believed would be the best way of handling the changed highway sltua. ton, and the government could proper

Progressives' Proper Course

The natural and proper course for the insurgent Progressives this year is to vote for Mir. Wilson. All of them, and as well those who now favor the indorsement of Hughes, preferred the election of Democrat to the election of a Republican in 1912. The Roose- welt candidacy, whatever else it meant, certainly meant that. Like conditions confront them this year, for in their view the Republican party is unre- generate, belief for which, we are grieved to say, there Is only too much supporting evidence.

Graceful Hats for Fall

Bidding for your favor and very sure to get it, are the graceful and beautifully made hats for fall. They are no sooner displayed than bought by women who seem to tire of summer millinery before the summer is done. The between-seasOn's hat of felt or velvet makes its appearance in July along with hats of white satin or crepe or other all-white materials. Gradu- ally it supplants the midsummer hat and leads up to the millinery that is ready to greet the winter.
 Simplicity of trimming and beauty of line are emphasized in the early fall hats. group of three of them, shown here includes a wide-brimmed sailor, a small mushroom shape and a brimmed hat of velvet with flowing brim lines that lift over the brow, droop, lift again at the sides, and droop again at the back. Ribbon, chenille and beads make themselves conspicuous as appropriate trimmings for these street hats.
 The hat at the renter is of felt, hay ing the crown covered with grosgrain ribbon in white. A narrow band of velvet ribbon is laid over another band hot quite Sc narrow, of ribbon like that in the crown. A tailored bow of he grosgrain finishes the. model, and the same ribbon binds the edge of the brim.
