Slight Lead Maintained by Hughes Is Being Cut

 STATE WHICH HOLDS
 HASTILY TO c. o. F.
With This Vote Deducted in Straw Count President Is Stronger Than Republican Candidate Through
 out Naton--Contest Close
Copyright. 1sls. by the New York Her.

Copyright, 1s1s, by the New York Her ald Company, all rights reserved) New York. October 21.--tspecinI.D
 The fifth instsIIment of the New York
 HeraId's political poll shows that the
 drift Is toward President Wilson in .
 practically tied race. Mir. Hughes pIur-
 aIity Is 3727 ont of grand total of
 14s,0e4 straw votes taken by the New
 York Herald in 36 stater. The HeraId's introduction foIlowss With election day just 15 days off
 the presidential tide is drifting to-
 ward President Wilson. Mir. Hughes has made slight gains in states which sre normally repub-
 Iican but which are this year in doubt.
 states which are ordinarily repubiicsn but which this year are not only in doubt but are likely to decide the clec- l ton.
 The states in which Mfr. Hughes. in the Herald's straw votes. has made gains are New York (upstate), Connec- ticut, Idaho. Massachusetts. Montana, South Dakota and New Jersey. The states where the President has
 made gains are Illinois. Indiana, Nary land, Michigan, Minnesota Nebraska, Ohio, Washington, West Virginia and Wisconsin.
 NECK -AND-NECK RACE As was first noted in the Herald on September 24, 1t is neck and 1 neck race for the presidency. MT. l Hughes has had the lead because of the normal strength of the re- | publican party and the amalgama-e-s l tion of the progressives with the l republicans. Dut he has been los l ing. He Is much weaker than his party. President Wilson has been gaining. He Is much stronger than l his party. The two are now prac- | ticaIIy tied for the lead. | Using as basis the old-times strength of the republican party and | the comparative vote of Taft and Roosevelt with that of Mir Wilson. it was necessary at the outset of the canvass for the democrats to make huge gains to give them what would | approximate an even start with their political rivals. But they have, from l all that appears in the straw vote, made these gains and are now on what amounts to an even footing with the republicans.
 HUGHES LEAD DWINDLES Out of a total of 146,064 straw votes 1 taken in S6 states MT. Hughes has a plurality of 3727. Last week. out of total of 1o7.403, he had a plurality of 4926. In this grand total, however, there are incorporated 18,S96 votes from California. This is out of proportion to the rest of the country. California is, from all indications now discern ible. the one republican stronghold which is holding true to it's standards. Therefore it would be hardly a fair computation to include so large group | of votes from there any more than | it would to include the same number 1 from state like Tennessee or North Carolina. which are just al strongly democratic.

SECRECY REGARDING PLANS

As to the ideas formulated by mem bers of the board in respect to dis tricts in which the country will be divided and to cities in which the 12 farm loan or rural credit banks will be located, the greatest reticence Is observed. As a matter of fact, 1t is stated that nothing tangible has as yet been constructed; and it is added that before the completion of the en- tire tour. before the members have carefully investigated all data which will have been obtained through per sona1 contact with the people or the United States. no attempt will be made to prepare programme for the oper- alton of the new fiscal system.
 And yet there can be no doubt but that the individual members have given thought to the situation. Two reasons make these deductions plaus- ible. The first Is the fact that the entire tour cannot be completed be- fore December and the system, ac- cording to the expectation of Secre- tary McAdoo, will be in operation Jan uary 1. The second IS the fact that irrespective of argument and availa- bi1ity, certain concessions mdst be made fo axnedfepcv

FLETCHER's INFLUENCE

As stated above, in this case as in all others, something must be yielded for the sake of expediency. In this case, as in all others. personal or political influence must play part.
 Senator Fletcher, who is a strong man, and a likable man, is working night and day for Jacksonville. He is an adminis- tration man--always. He has the distinc- ton of having been the first seriously to promote rural credits. He organized the rural credits commission and put himself at it's head. This commission, in study ing the question. toured Europe Since then the senator was made by Secretary McAdoo member of the joint high commissionE of the Pan-American union, and las such member made the South Ameriean trip with the Secretary and other notables.
 As result of the foregoing. it would obviously be the part of folly to over

Washington, october 21.-tSpecial.) The farm loan board will leave this city tomorrow on It's Itinerary into the south. The revised programme follows:
 Richmond. October 2S; Raleigh, Oc- tober 24; Columbia, October 25; Jack sonville. October 20; Macon, October 27 Birmingham, october 2s; Montgom- cry, October 2S (night); New Orleans. October 30; Jackson. october 31; Mem phis, November i.

EVERYBODY CONFIDENT

The members of the board have so cleverly maintained vssilence, or so shrewdly thrown hint here and there that everybody in Washington is con- fident that his particular section will be favored. The Louisiana contingent announced yesterday that it had been given tentative assurance that New Orleans was slated for a bank. Mem phis correspondents, after an investi- gation. are likewise cocksure. Balti-
 more, working within striking dis tance of the seat of government, knows
 that its disappointment when the fed eral reserve banks were dispensed.
 cannot be repeated. Georgia, as greed
 fly pursuing this pork" as it has pur-
 sued other pork" is relying in con-
 fidence on the "getability' of Senator Smith. The Florida delegation, appre-
 ciating the fact that Senator Fetch CT Is, more than any other man, the
 father of rural credits" cannot be
 convinced that Jacksonville will be sighted.
 Texas. on account of the fact that 1t Is dominion to itself. and the pro- ~SA 0A AACaiiy Hdll lue southern cot ton crop, must have a bank. accord ing to it's argument. Alabama, the heart of the agricultural section, states
 it's case and declares that 1t must be favorably considered
 ALABAMA'S OBSTACLE As prime feature. the best posted
 men in Washington do not believe that Georgia and Louisiana will be given more than conventional consideration l Atlanta has federal reserve bank and
 New Orleans a federal reserve branch with independent directors.
 It Is obvious, therefore, that Jackson-
 vile is Birminghams chief obstacle: in
 other words. if the board passes Jack sonville without bestowing a plum there.
 Birmingham can scarcely be overlooked. There are various reasons why Jackson vile is not a desirable place for a bank. The chief reason is its inaccessibility to other states of the south. In recognition of this fact, Senator Fletcher is endeavor-
 ing to secure for the south-a territory which in this calculation extends from
 Maryland to Oklahoma-four banks. His figures tend to prove his contention. If
 the south is awarded four banks, Jack sonville, in all robability. will win.
 And with the south allotted only three banks. Jacksonville Is not entirely elim- mated, it Is believed.

ORIGIN of Satin.

The discovery of the principle of the
manufacture of satin was a pure acct
dent The discovery was made by a
SILK weaver named Octavio Mai. Dur
ing a dull period of business one day
he was pacing before his loom, not
knowing how to give a new impulse to
his trade. AS he passed the machine
each time he pulled short threads from
the warp and, following an old habit.
put them into his mouth and rolled
them about. soon after splitting them
upon the floor. Later he discovered a
little ball of silk upon the floor of his
shop and was astonished at the bril-
liancy of the threads. He repeated the
experiment and eventually employed
various mucilaginous preparations and
succeeded in making satin.

GAME IN THE ANTARCTIC.
Seal Steak is Good, and So Are the
Breasts and Esss of Penguins.

Breasts and Esss of Penguins.
In the antarctic there is o the i'm
mense variety of game which is to be
found in north polar regions; but. or the
other hand. it is very abundant and
can be turned into food with the small
est exertion. The Weddell seal, which
sometimes weighs as much rs half 4;
ton. allows itself to be killed and cut
up with placid calm. Its natural NJ
emies are in the water, and for long
generations it has been accustomed to
bask in the sun undisturbed.
Seal steak is ain acquired taste. but
when acquired explorers prefer it to-
timed provisions. 1t is n common
assumption that sea flesh tastes of
train oil. That is a mistake; the flesh
itself contains no fat, but it is extreme.
ly rich in blood. and in taste suggests
the Scottish delicacy known as black
pudding.
P%enguins. too, make n very desirable
addition to the antarctic harder. Epi
cures eat only the breast, which is
rather like hare, but of n more delicate
favor, The eggs, which are very
abundant in the spring, suggest ducks
eggs, but are about four times as big
They are excellent eating If you hap
pen to pick Il new laid one. but this is
naturally something of q lottery. and a
penguin egg can be very bad indeed

OVER THE EQUATOR.
The Coolest Air Blows High Up Above
This Torrid Renion-

This Torrid Region.
Winds blow MOI merely along the
surface of the earth. but upward and
downward throughout the atmosphere
They whirl about in all directions. So
IL is impossible TO construct o weather
chart that will really show the direc-
tons of the winds, for such a chart
would have to be III three Dimensions.
Professor Alexander McAdie of Har.
yard in an article in the Geographical
Review describes some of the recent
experiments in the upper air performed
by sounding balloons. The atmosphere
has, roughly. two layers, the lower
called the troposphere and the upper
the stratosphere. The strongest winds
are found just below the stratospbere,
and 1t would seem that pressure
changes originate IN this region.
The stratosphere is highest over the
equator and lowest over the poles. but
its height varies With the season. AT
the equator says Professor McAdic,
as we rise in the air the temperature
continues to fail to a much greater
height than in temperate attitudes. In.
deed, the lowest temperature is found
above the equator"

Deaf as an Adder.

The expression deaf us an adder is
from the Psalms of David, where it
appears in the following form: Their
poison is like the poison of serpents
They are like the deaf adder that stop
peth her ear, which will not hearken
to the voice Of charmers, charming ever
so wisely" East Indian travellers tell
us that there is a widely prevailing su-
perstition in the east to the effect that
both the viper and the asp stop their
ears when the charmer is uttering his
incantations or playing his music by
turning one a to the ground and
twisting the point OF the tail into the
