HUGHES BOUND
 ID PULL VOTES

| WASHINGTON, Sept. 1--The Re publican Publicity Association through its President, Hon. Jona- than Bourne, Jr., today gave out the following statement ut it's Wash lugton neadQual ters:
 If the country votes at the presi- dental election this year as 1t Vot- cd at the congressional election of 1914, Hughes will carry California, Colorado, connecticut Delaware, Idaho, IIlinois, Iowa, M lssAchusetts' Michigan. Minnesota, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jelsey, New MeNl- co, New York, North Dakota, Ore gou. Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South DaKota, Utah, Vermont, l Washington, West Virginia, Wiscon- sin and Wyoming.
 "These states have 2S6 votes in the electoral college, a majority of which is only 266.
 "Iu each of these states, two years ago, the Republican congress sloual tIeKet received a clear plur- al:ty of votes. In these states combined the Republican, candidates for congress received 4,O75,l51 votes, while the Democratic candi- dates for congress received only S,lS2,56S votes-the total Republi- can plurality being 942,5S9.
 In each of these states, in 1914. there was all organized pro gresive campaign-except in Ne vada. North Dakota, Utah and Wis consiu, although in Utah there was Fusion ticket running in Opposi tion to rle Republicans. The to- tal progressive vote in these states was f46.34I; and the combined Re publican-ProgI essiye plurality over he Democrats was l,6SS,93O.
 Two years ago there were five states--ludiana, Kansas, Maine, Ne braska, and Ohio-which, are fairly to be classed as normally Republi- can but where the Democratic con gressiOnal ticket received plur- ality of votes ranging from a beg garly 365 in Maine to an impressive 42.T52 in Indiana. But the Pro gressiye vcte in each of these five states was far in excess Of the difference between the Repuo- lican and Democratic totals, and ranged from S,11l ill Nebraska to 9U,u4o in Indiana. In Kansas the | Progressive vote in 191 amounted to 74,44l: in Ohio it was A. sSl; and in Maine it was 17,9S5.
 "These five states will cast 63 vo,es .n the electoral college. How will they vote this year?
 Hopeful Democratic statisttcians estimate the division of the former PrcgressNe vote upon different pro portiou--in each instance, how ever, giving the long end of it to rhe Republicans and in no instance claiming that more than 30 per cent of the Bull Moose will sup port Wilson. Upon this extreme ny polhesis, let us examine the vote of the live states where a Demo cratic plurality was found in the congressional elections of 1914.
 The Republican vote of Indiana in 1914 as 233,l4O, the Progress ives casting 9O,O49 and the Demo- crats 275,S92. Dividing the Bull Moose strength on the basis of seventy aLd thirty per cent, re- spectively. to the Republicans and the Democrats, he vote of Indiana this year should be: Republican, 25C162; Democratic, SO2,9O4. The margin IS too small for comfort on

that it had enjoyed the excite
