WILSON LANDSLIDE NOW IN
DICATED BY ". Y. HERALD

New York, Oct. l5.-President Viii
sons reelection by a large majority
is again foreshadowed by lat weeks
results in the New York Herald's poll.
With l07,403 straw votes as n basi-
the states which the Herald puts in
the Wilson column have 312 electoral
votes, Of which 266 will elect. The
Herald says that the republicans seem
to be at a standstill, while the demo-
Gratis are forging ahead.
The Herald declares that New York
Illinois, Ohio and Indiana will decide
the election and admits that Hughes
possible plurslity in Ohio is under lO,-
900, while Wilson is leading in New
York. A special dispatch from Boston
in the Herald today says Wilson sem
timent is growing alarmingly."

of the Herald, probably the most rah-
id anti-Wilson organ in New York.
says today under the heading, Cam
paign slump worries leaders Of repub-
licans," that fear of the loss of the
labor vote has added to other cause
of apprehension among the republ-
cans and that with the presidential
election less than four weeks off re-
publican managers admit that the cam
paign so far as the republican party
is concerned, "has struck a slump"

What the French Maid Told Marjorie
BY JANE LOWELL.

"A knocker shaped like a Gothic
window. with a gargoyle from a IA
nous cathedral 10 raise when You
knock. is a suitable ornament-and
a useful one-for a clergyman's study
door. A knocker with a bust of
Shakespeare or a figure of Chaucer
is good library knocker. A cherub
is the right thing, isn't it, for the
nursery door? And so on they 90.
Another point in favor of the
knocker is its economy. An electric
bell sometimes gets out of order.
The tightening Of a screw and the
application of polish occasionally
keep the door knocker in perfect
condition. As for door porters. they
are as useful as knockers in the
house
"Our attics have been pretty thor
oughly ransacked for furniture and
mirror frames, candlesticks and
snuffers. knockers and por-ers. But
1t is still possible TO find some really
good knockers in good old country
houses, and some of the dealers in
antiques have some good models,
too"
