MCCORMICK PREDICTS
A WILSON LANDSLIDE
Chairman Says the West is "On Fire.
for the President, But Has No
Edge on the East.

CHICAGO, Oct 3l-The West is ION
tire for President Wilson, and 1T looks
like a landslide for the Democratic candi-
date, said Vance G. Mccormick, chairman
Of the National Democratic committee
yesterday, after comforting with Senator
thomas j Walsh, manager of Western
Democratic headquarters. Latest reports
from leaders in all states were discussed
at the conference
The West has no edge on the East in
this matter of loyalty to the President"
Mr.. Mccormick said. 1.-The East is mighty
warm in its support of Wilson and Demo
Gratis generally 1t has improved daily for
the last two weeks, and states that were
doubtful may be counted safely for the
President now
New York state, for instance, is for
the President, and for him big Leaders
of local organizations in Greater New
York confidently believe that the greater
city will roll up one of the heaviest Demo
cratic pluralities in many years.
Il see that Frank H. Hitchcock claims
the election of Mr.. Hughes and gives list
of states that he processes to believe the
Republicans will carry. OF the % states
he claims for Hughes, | do not regard six
of them as certainly for the Republican
party.
FThe Wilson sentiment in Ohio that
makes Mr. Hitchcock concede the state to
the Democrats does not stop at imaginary
state lines 1t extends all over this see
ton, and by this token, not to mention
overconfdential reports and first hand ad
vices, we know that Illinois and Indiana
also are for the President This same
sentiment is sweeping the Pacific coast.

tor Lodge in the course of a speech
here last night read a letter from John

tributed to Mr.. Brec kinridge by DIR.

corning the alleged elimination by

OMAHA, Neb., Oct. 31.-William j.
Bryan, former secretary of state, de
MED here last night that there was any
truth in the story that postscript had
been written to the Lusitana note adj.
vising the German government the
strong language of the note should
not be taken seriously and that later
the postscript was withdrawn.
- take it for granted Mr.. Bryan
said, '.that the President will deal
with the matter as he deems wise, if
indeed any attention need be paid il
after Mr.. Brec kinridge's denial
Mr.. Bryan would make no further
comment except to cali attention to
the fact that his resignation was not
rendered at the time the first Lusitania
note, to which the alleged postscript
was attached, was written but at the
time the second note was written
which was nearly a month later.

MILITIA
PLAN IS
FAILURE?
BY ellison Gardner.

WASHINGTON Dec. IA
third of the militia-40,000 men
have declined to take the fed
eral oath. This is the report of
the militia division of the war de-
partment.
Two reasons are given by the
men for declining.
The six-year term Is too long
they say, and the liability to be
called out for long and tedious
service like that on the Mexican
border involves a financial sacri-
flee which most of the men are
unable to make.
Moreover, the men feel that
the occasion is not an emergency
in the sense in which they thought
Of active service when they en-
listed.
Most of the militiamen who
have taken the oath, confess now
that they did so in the excitement
of the mobilization and under the
impression that they were to see
real war.
All of which makes more clear
the fact that the INTERCHANGEABLE
law has failed, and that congress
must devise some new plan for
first line of defense on land.

With the Fingers!
Says COrns Lift Out
Without Any Pain

Sore corns. hard corns, soft
corns or any kind of a corn can
shortly be lifted right out with
the fingers II you will apply d.
rectly upon the corn few drops
of freezone, says a Cincinnati au-
thority.
Ii is claimed that at small cost
one can get quarter of an ounce
of freezone at any drug store,
which is sufficient to rid ones
feet OF every corn or callus with
out pain or soreness or the dan
ger of infection.
This new drug is an ether COM
pound, and while sticky, dries
the moment 1t is applied and does
not inflame OF even irritate the
surrounding tissue.
This announcement will interest
many women here, for II is said
that the present high-heel foot
wear is putting corns on practi-
cally every woman's feet.

BETTER LIVERPOOL CABLES
IMPROVE PRICES OF COTTON
Low Condition Report Also Cause for
Additional Strength

NEW YORK. Sept. 25.-Better Liverpool
cables than expected and a low condition
report by the Memphis Commercial Appeal
caused strength in the cotton market at
the opening this morning First prices
showed advances Of IL to 16 points. october
started only points higher, but later moved
up points additional and was in line with
the other positions.
There was moderate selling for hedge
account and also some liquidation of
October at the start in advance of notice
day tomorrow. New Orleans houses sold,
but commission houses were buyers and
some Wall Street interests also purchased.
Liverpool took fairly large amounts of
various months After the call the room
crowd made the usual attacks. but did not
make any impression. as a steady demand
was encountered apparently for trade in
terests.
The advance during the morning carried
prices about 20 to 26 points higher, with
January selling at 1884, or 3s points above
the low level Of Saturday and within IA
points of the high record for the season.
Realizing causing reactions of 10 to IL
points from the best later, but otherwise
offerings were limited and the market
firmed up again early in the noon hour.
The early advance to 1894 for January
carried the market nearly 81 per bale above
the low level of Saturday morning and
this evidently attracted profit-taking.

GREAT COPPER ORDER MAKES
FIRMS WITHHOLD QUOTATIONS
Probably First Time in History Prices
Cannot Be Obtained

NEW YORK, Sept 25.-Probably for the
first time in the history of the copper In
dustry in this country there are no firm
quotations available. The abnormal situ-
alton brought about by the placing OF the
big 44S, 900 ,000-pound contract for the AL
lies has created such condition that the
dealers are at a loss to name prices except
in a nominal way.
For a very limited amount of November
copper one or two interests are quoting
from 29A to 2shc compared with 2s to
29Ac heretofore. while December has been
advanced about Ac to 2S15c.
Transactions for these deliveries can only
be for small quantities, as the dealers are
sold up.
Nominal levels for shipments next year
show sharp upturns from the quotations
made on Saturday, after the large foreign
order had been announced.
There are reports in the trade that the
order of the Allies included an option on an
additional 10000, 900 pounds of the metal at
virtually the same price that was paid on
the original

NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-Some of the
stocks traded in on the Broad Street Curb
today responded to the activity and
strength on the Exchange. with a display
of heavy dealing and pronounced strength.
but the activity was confined to few
issues. and. while some stocks made gains,
others sought buyers at concessions.
Mldvale Steel was naturally Influenced by
the record-brealing movement in United
States Steel common, and advanced over
one point to above rs, making a new high
record on this movement.
Part of this buying was due to the fact
that many hoped for dividend distribution
q week from Wednesday.
Aetna Explosives had a special reason
for the display Of strength in the new ar
rangements made by which the company
win be able 10 handle new large orders
lbout which some uncertainty prevailed a
week ago, and that stock made a gain of
more than three points from its low price
of 9% this morning.
