CONNERS PRESENTS
STATE TO WILSON
Mccormick Accepts 1t. but
Fails to Give Size Of
Majority.

Acting OF a straight tip from Will
liam J, Corners of Buffalo. who back in
1906 nominated Hearst for Governor and
was state chairman for a while there
after. Chairman Mccormick. the Demo-
cratic national chairman. carried New
York State for Wilson yesterday AMI
stirred up the hearts OF some Of mis- fol-
there was somthing in all this ;alk about
Tammany ~tomahawking the ticket.
w are going to carry New York"
said Mccormick after he had talked
with the Buffalo statesman. Our re-
ports from UP State are particularly en-
c~ouraging,'
How about Tammany?" Mccormick
was asked.
1.-The organization is working with US"
replied the chairman. '-rhe repor we
get from all OF them is that we are GO
ingl to carry this state by "A tremendous
vote"
Corners told Mccormick Erie county
would give the Wilson tickle anywhere
from 10000 to 10. 900 majority. although
six weeks ago II had looked like Hughes
by 10000. The eight hour railroad legis-
lation and the Presidents speech of ac-
ceptance. according to Corners. had
turned Buffalo to Wilson. Conners's re-
port was So optimistic that 1t was rushed
to the publicity department for imme-
diatc publication.
James a. Nugcnt. New Jersey leader,
who last saturday got around to the
point Of shaking hands publicly with
the President after some years Of cool
ucss, was another Of McCormick's
callers. Nothing that Nugent said. how
ever. was given out for publication. MI
gent Is said TO have been told the Fresi-
dent would like to see Wescott win the
Democratic nomination for Senator over
Senator MARITIME. Judge Wcscott being
one who, as the President is said to have
expressed It recently, could play on the
team"
Another caller n. Democratic head
quarters was Secretary Of the Navy
Daniels speeding back from Maine. where
he with a big battery of Democratic
speakers has been engaged for two
weeks.
The Secretary's carefully prepared In
terview on the Maine situation was not
cheerful. the pith of il being as follows:
1T Is apparent that the President Is
tremendously strong all over Maine n
with all classes of people. ! have not
the slightest doubt hut that the Demo-
Gratis would win II the State and Presi-
Dental elections were held simultane-
ously."
Chairman Mccormick discussed with
Secretary Daniels and other callers the
attack made by Mr.. Hughes on the rail-
road legislation,
I, was said that II the Republicans
continued to fire away at this the Demo-
cratic strategy would be to demand Of
Mr.. Hughes whether or not he would
repeal the law. Until Mr.. Hughes
opened up the Democratic plan was to
disassociate the recent legislation from
the campaign In every way.
Mrs. Anto!nette Funk, an Illinois suf-
fragist, turned up in the Democratic
camp yesterday. According to Mrs.
Futk she had been undecided, though
slightly inclined toward Hughes. but the
Presidents stand in the railroad crisis
had won her over on the Wilson side.

I'VE have the battle won beyond ques-
ton" the State chairman said. but we
intend TO keep working harder n
harder. We want big results"
The II doubtful element in the situa-
ton for the Republicans Is the weather.
Maine is for the most art rural. There
are no great cities, but hundreds OF small
towns and villages scattered over a ter
rltory larger than all the rest OF New
England. \ wet day ncXt Monday
would mean difficulty IN getting the Re
publican farmers to the polls.
Ham and his associates in the state
committee have their plans so made as
to minimize this danger. In every dis
'rict the local campaign managers have
instructions in case OF rain on election
day to comb the farming sections with
automobiles. leaving no excuse for the
apaihetic voter who might not care to
hitch up and drive to the polls under
disagrecable conditions.
In view oS.ttn'se precautionary meas
ures the Republican managers believe
a storm on election day would prevent
the Republican vote from reaching its
minimum. there still, would be no hope
for the Democrats.
The Wilson leaders on their mar, arc
putting forth tremendous efforts TO make
a good showing in the State. II they
cannot carry the State, at least they wish
&C. keep the Republicans down to a nor
nal plurality or somewhat below normal.

81 admit the situation has me guess
Ing" he said "the Republicans are very
confident. but they may be mistaken. I
feel pretty sure they will not make the
big sweep they talk about. My best
guess at this moment is that tho election
will he close. with the chances favoring
the Republicans. A great deal depends
on tho kind % y hit hughes will make"
The Democratic prognosticator said the
democratic campaign had been an un-
usually vigorous one. That statement Is
H. agreement with the view expressed BY
i;orubiican leaders. who say they have
been amazed by the efforts tho Presi-
dents friends have made to carry Maine.
II is estimated that the Democratic ma
tional campaign committee has spent not
less than s1oo,o 600 in the Maine cam
raign, and that is in addition to the
funds at the disposal OF the State De-
mo"racy.
To appreciate what such an cxpendi-
,ure means in Maine IL must be remem-
bered the population OF the state is about
700 ,o0o, onc-eighth. say. OF the popula-
tion of New York city. and that the vote
polled on Monday probably will not ex-
coed 100000.
Whether the Wilson image have
thrown 500, 900 or II greater amount
into the state. the fact has been clear
from the first tina their campaign has
not been hampeIed in any single re-
sp"ot by u lack Of money. They have
spent l~avislly wherever n chance Of

Hope to Convince Wilson,

When Mrs. Frank NJ. Roessing, first
rvice-president and Congressional chair
. read the report of her committees
work in Washington she tool occasion to
inject this sentence:
THE Republican party ha not done
Hpne bit more for suffrage than has the
Democratic party. The personal indorse-
.fnent Of Il candidate for the Presidency
can do nothing for the Federal amend
fnent. a suffrage paper said the other
Hay that the Republican party had in
Aorsed the amendment. Alas, nothing Of
the sort.
"President Wilson IL n fair and omen
minded man. and our committee has not
given up hope Of convincing him of, the
Justice Of the amendment"
Such being the trend it was a surprise
when Mrs. Gait Introduced her rcsoIu-
don putting Federal work first, Her
supporters assured Miss Clay that "the
language was unfortunate. that was all"
hut the assurance didn't prevent the hot
head Southern wOnicn from gathering in
anRry groups from which protests popped
out like bullets from = gun.
