ExtraUagant Claims of
Democrats Losing Out

Washington. D. c., Nov. Zone of
the favorite Democratic items of cam
paigning is the band wagon slogan.
No statement is too extravagant. Only
two months ago the Democrats assured
the country that Maine would go for
Democracy. The country has not for
gotten the result of the Maine elec-
tion," declared Representative Simeon
d. Fess. of Ohio, chairman of the pub
licity committee of the national Re-
publican congressional committee, in a
statement given out here to-day.
I'm 1912, Democracy came into power
on minority vote of 100000. Since
then the result of every special election
held has been the population of the
Democrats. Special congressional cleo
tions in New Jersey, Maine, New York
and West Virginia resulted in over
whelming Republican victories. These
special elections indicated the current
of the American electorate Another
item that will not be overlooked is the
lesson of the various primary contests
in the States. In primaries held In In
diana, Illinois, New Jersey, Idaho
Massachusetts,, Wisconsin,. California
and Ohio, the Republican vote in each
election was vastly larger than the
Democratic vote.
There is no possibility of getting
away from the meaning of the result
In these elections No amount OF hot
air contention, or fake straw votes will
repudiate these figures.

National Treasury Will Be
Empty by Election Day at
Present Rate of Expenditure

Washington, d. c., Nov. "A prac-
tically bankrupt Treasury and more
direct taxes and more bond issues to
ernment Is the present condition and
future prospects of the country, accord
ing to a statement by the national Re-
publican congressional committee issued
in Washington.
Since Congress adjourned, the state
ment shows, expenditures have eX-
ceeded receipts by more than a $1,000
900 a day. At this rate the actual net
balance in the general fund of less than
$4,000, 900 will shortly be wiped out, and
on election day the Treasury will be
empty and the country will be facing a
daily deficit of over a million dollars
Over ss00,OO0,O00
At this rate, the statement continues
the deficit at the close of the present
fiscal year will reach the enormous sum
of over 5000, 100000. This will not be
met by the new revenue law, the high
est estimate of revenue under which
was $205, 900, 900, and in the opinion OF
experts the amount to be raised by the
additional taxes imposed by that law
will fall way short OF these figures. Sc
that the administration besides carry
ing out its ovowed purpose to issue
S125,000, 900 OF Panama Canal bonds to
supplement the additional taxes. will
have to resort either to more taxes OF
more bonds. And it is doubtful IL even
one more issue of Panama bonds car
be fioated without depreciating their

One of the vaudevillians who
opened a three-day engagement at
the Majestic Theater to-day is John
Hamilton, a native of Shippensburg
and a former resident Of Harrisburg.
Mr.. Hamilton is featured in the COM
edy sketch "Finders-Keepers."
i Mr.. Hamilton claims the distinction
of being the only native of Cumber-
land county to go on the stage, al
though Robert Hood Bowers, who
composes the music for most of the
Lasky acts, is native of Chambers
burg. Mr.. Bowers composed the
music to the new Annette Kellerman
picture "a Daughter of the Gods"
and is now leading the orchestra in
the Lyric Theater, New York. where
the picture is being shown. But that
isn't exactly being on the stage, and
land county's only representative
among the thespians. If he isn't he'd
like to hear from the others.
Mr.. Hamilton spent his boyhood in
Shippensburg and went to the State
Normal school there. Six years age
he went on the stage, and since that
time has appeared in the support OF
such stars as Richard Carle and Hat
tie Williams: Marie Cahill. Lou-Tel1e-
leading mani; Lew Fields, and sew
eral others Mr.. Hamilton also ap-
peared in several of Jesse Lasky's
vaudeville productions, and has done
some motion picture, work for the
MAtro Film Company Of New York.

chief address of the evening at AL
bany. Mr.. Hughes will reach Albany
at $3.50 tonight. 1t was the nominee S
last day but one of campaigning and
he was apparently in excellent trim.
Tomorrow the program calls for
speeches along the valley OF the Hud-
son ending with his arrival at New
York.
Before his departure from Terre
Haute late last night Mr.. Hughes is
sued the following statement:
I am informed that the general
chairman has advised the local chair
men of the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Firemen and Bnginemen of the
Pennsylvania lines, east, that the
Adamson act in establishing a new
basis for reckoning wages will elimi-
nate the payment of all arbitraries
which are based upon time when made
within the first eight-hour period of
service.
THE uncertainty of the law is
recognized in various particulars. 1t
is said, just what it will be decided
to mean no one can tell. as it is pos
sible to construe it in several different
way The general chairman also
adds This law does not change the
application of the hours of service
law" The company still has the right
to work you sixteen hours within any
a..
Il note that the chief of one of the
locals of the brotherhoods has ascer-
tanned the effect of the law on those
who complete their run in less than
eight hours. He says that If a man
makes one-hundred- mile run in five
hours instead of getting his full days
pay he win get only five -eighths of a
days pay when paid on the eight hour
basis. He also says that formerly the
railroad men were entitled to pay for
25 miles whenever called out, whether
they afterwards reported or not, but
the Adamson bill enacts q fiat basis
of eight hours for the purpose of pay
ing compensation while on the other
hand 1t does not establish an eight
hour work day.
II think it will be found that the
Adamson bill is a gold brick for
labor"
Mr.. Hughes closed his campaign in
the Middle West yesterday at an old
fashioned political rally, the proper
tions of which were accepted by him
as prophecy of victory in Indiana
and in the nation. For more than an
hour he reviewed a parade and then
spoke at the Wigwam, making his last
personal appeal to this part of the
country.
The parade, in which it was esti-
mated 10000 marched. wound it's way
through the streets, which were ablaze
with redf1re. There were one hun
dred or more Illuminated floats
Marching clubs came from miles
around.
There were fully $4,000 in the
crowd which lined Main street and
Mr.. Hughes received much applause
all along the line. Old-time residents
classed the demonstration as among
the biggest staged in this section OF
Indiana.
In the Wigwam, said to seat nine
thousand persons and which was
packed to the doors, Mr.. Hughes was
ltumultuously received. At the end OF
the demonstration he made thi:
declaration:
II am leaving Indiana after what

is perhaps the most wonderful recep-
ton ever given to a candidate for the
presidency. This splendid tribute was
not to me personally, but as the rep
resentative of the great reunited Re-
publican party moving forward to VIC
tory and service for the nation. The
men OF Indiana have organized a
peoples victory and l want to thank
the leaders of the reunited party for
their effective work"
In his speech Mr.. Hughes reviewed
the stand he had taken on American
rights, the tariff, the Adamson bill,
efficient government and other cam
paign issues.
Opposed to All Pork Barrel Business
OF his stand on the great issues,
Mr.. Hughes made this statement:
Il am opposed to all pork-barreI
business. l am opposed to all log
rolling appropriations. I am inter
ested in this campaign simply be-
cause l believe there is q great chance
to serve the United States in pro-
viding a businesslike administration; /;
and If they want that kind of thing,
l am their servant for that purpose.
There is no reason why the business
of the United States should not be as
well administered as any great private
business; and i propose, If elected, to
call about me the ablest men that ]
can find to establish the business of
this country on basis which will
make our civil service a place of honor
and dignity and of benefit to all our
people"
Speaking of the necessity of a pro-
tective tariff to safeguard the indus
tries of this country after the war
when he said, foreign, competition
would be renewed by an efficient and
trained Europe, Mr.. Hughes said:
You have got to have business
policies that protect the industries of
the United States. How are we going
to attain to these conditions? By
sanely building up American enter
prises, protecting American industry
in every way and making it possible
for business to succeed. / propose
that we have the principles of our
institutions maintained, and then we
can go forward and meet the competi-
ton of the twentieth century, being
| assured that those living in this
favored land will have a fair and
square opportunity"

COST OF DYES BEFORE THE WAR

The dyes used on this side of the
water cost the consumer between thir-
ty and forty millions of dollars in nor
NAL times. This sum does not meas
ure the total value of the industry, be-
cause in addition to the dyes produced
there are many drugs and chemicals
obtained as by-products of the manu-
facturer which swell the total to prob
ably fifty millions annually.
The fact that dye plants may also
be used with but little change for the

being offered on Hughes.
Traders were quick to take ad-
vantage of the decided swing in
sentiment, and prices were bid up

or the market was taken to mean
that a Republican victory would
insure still higher levels, while the
re-eiection of Wilson would have
the opposite effect.

The five big schools of the state
Kansas university, State Agricultural

60 per cent of this vote is listed for
Hughes. according to information
gathered by the organizer. The re-
naming 40 per cent will go to Wilson
with a scattering Socialist and Prohi-
bition vote. The college vote is not
nearly as heavy as in former presi-
Dental campaigns. A younger student
body is enrolled in the big schools of
the state ano a larger per cent of the
students do not vote.
And then-well there is the shy col

wage. Neither proposition was ap-
proved by the welfare commission
following a report by the laundry
board.
Members of the laundry board de-
clined to recommend minimum wage
for laundry employees. They side
stepped the proposition with the
argument that the wage problem was
now before the United States supreme
court, and that action should be de-
ferred. A 54-hour week was recon-
mended for laundry employees. Since
the proposition did not restrict laun-
dries in long employment of labor on
certain days of the week, but provided
a weekly minimum rather than a
daily minimum with restricted clos
ing hour. the state commission de-
clined to concur.
The state commission declined to
consider the action of the laundry
board in refusing a minimum wage.
