Party Leaders Feel That Nominee Has Found Issue That

Fight

To attack the high-handed manner in
which the bill was railroaded through
Congress az the dictation OF the
brotherhood leaders, on the other hand,
would be free from this dellcacy, but,
in the opinion of many veteran cam
paigners, would be even more effective.
Situation Without a Precedent.

gress last week, as these Republicans

American political history. Never. even

20 dictate what Congress should do.
And 20 have the brotherhood leaders
establish themselves in Offices at the
CAPITOL itself, in order to be In touch
with the Legislators, they maintain,

The Republicans have also been
stifened in their determination 10
make an issue on the strike by the
growing uneasiness and suspicion OF
the shippers. Senators Cummlns anu
Borah have already voiced their dis
satisfaction with any bargain that
looks TO an increase in freight rates.
ANY settlement that merely passes on

leans feel. will be decidedly unpopular

To meet the Republican attack the
Democrats are apparently prepared ana

elsewhere.
The advantages Of that course, how
ever. high the price might temporarily
be. they believe will weigh higher with
the public than any abstract discussion
Of "Prussianism" or arbitration"
The Democrats will point out: That
the President went into the situation
thoroughly; that the course he adopt
ed was the only one that would save
the country from disaster; that the
temporary yielding on the arbitration
issue did not mean its permanent aoan-
donment. and that the President stood,
as he always has, for humanity as
against monetary considerations. Ihey
feel also that the eight-hour day is 700

centible of attack And already forth

sation act. they are confident they can

Mr.. Hughes struck a note that was

had been reciting details OF the VIII

Canvass Indicates They'll
Help Beat Democrats in
Mondays Election.
REPUBLICANS CLAIM
VICTORY BY $4,000
Opponents Predict They
Will Elect Their Guber-
material Candidate.

from Star Correspondent OF The Tribune. J
Augusta, Me, Sept. 5.-The Bull
Moose Of Maine have returned 70 the
Republican fold, according to the re-
suits of an unofficial canvass Of Ok
ford and Franklin counties, received
here tonight. Two years ago these
counties. in which the Progressives
were strong, gave substantial plurali-
ties to the Democratic ticket.
The figures received tonight, how
ever. indicate a good sized majority
for the Republican candidates and an
oldtime Republican victory in Mon
days state election. The Democratic
plurality in oxford two years ago was
300; the figures received tonight indi-
cate Republican plurality Monday
OF 200. In Franklin two years ago
the Democrats mad plurality Of $50.
The canvass shows a Republican plu-
rality OF $50.
Reports received from other coun-
ties also indicate the Bull Moose, with
comparatively few exceptions, are
going TO support the Republican can
didates. Eighteen thousand Progress
sives voted for Halbert A Gardner
their candidate for Governor, two years
ago, and if the canvass is reliable
straw, at least 80 per cent Of them
will vote the Republican ticket Mon
day. Arostook County reports indicate
q Republican majority of more than
1000. The Republicans carried it two
years ago by $500, but Gardner re,
ceived 2,235 votes, so IT IS expected
this year to almost double the majority
of two years ago.
The Democratic leaders dispute these
figures, but not energetcally. Iney
are depending on Bull Moose votes 20
carry the Democratic ticket to victory
and they point 70 the fact that nine
OF the sixteen members of the Pro
eressiye State Committee are stumping
for the Democratic candidates. The
former Progressive candidate for Gov
ernor has also Joined the Democratic
cause. The Republicans do not seem
to be worried about this, however, for
m. leaders have increased their pre-
dictions TO a majority of $4,000 Mon
day.
The candidacy of Frederick Hale for
United States Senator is proving the
weak spot in the Republican ticket.
Republican leaders say he will win,
but that his majority Will be consid-
erablv below that Of Carl Milliken, Re
publican candidate for Governor, and
Bert Fernald, also a candidate for
United States Senator. TO NIL the va
cancy made by the death of Senator
BurleiGh.
Mr.. Hale, unlike Senator Johnson,
his opponent. seeking reelection, is not
much Of a mixer, and that counts a
good deal up here. Johnson is well
liked. even if he is a free trader, and
estimates are freely made that he will
run at least 5000 or 1000 votes ahead
Of his ticket. A Republican majority Of
10000. however, will land Mr.. maze
safe and sound, and the leaders here
expect more than that.

From TIE Tribune Bureau J

Washington, Sept. 5.-Republicans IN
Washington were particularly pleased
to-day at Charles Z. Hughes's fat
footed declaration for arbitration in
labor disputes, made al Nashville
Tenn, yesterday. The promptness with
which the Republican candidate has
seized upon the weakness Of the Ad-
ministration in the recent railway
strike crisis was a source of general
delight among party leaders at the cap
ital to-day. There was feeling that
at last the weak point of the Admins
tration may have been nit.
Equally pleasing were the reports OF
the acceptance Of Mr.. Hughes's decia-
ration by the audience Openly hostile
10 the Republican candidate, who IN the
early part Of his speech had been
beckled considerably by Wilson sympa-
thizers, the declaration that ne was
"opposed TO being dictated 10 either IN
the executive department or congress
by any power on earth before the iac'a
are known and in the absence u 'he
facts" met with tremendous applause
The fact that the demonstration iasIeu
for several minutes is looked upon heie
as being unusually Significant.
Business Men Aroused.
Senators and Representatives have
been overwhelmed during the last lie"
DAYS with letters and kilograms from
business men and commercial organlza
tons in their districts condemning Con
cress's surrender 10 the rail way orotn-
erhoods. Not a few OF them, ~ IS
known. have been made rather uneasy
bv the demonstration. They ALREADY
had bitter contests for reelection, rem
dered more difficult by the failure oil
Congress TO adjourn, and now the eight
hour law had added still another ele-
ment Of confusion.
Thus election potentiallties OF the
strike were in the foreground OF as
cussion in the Hobbies on both SIDES OF
the Capltol to-day Neither Repub'
licans nor Democrats will yet commit
themselves 10 a clear-cut expression
on the issue. Both are cautious IN
waiting for the full reaction on the
country 10 the bill so dramatically
jammed through Congress on Saturday
night. :.
So far as can be determined now, II
is believed that the Republican attack
If il is decided on, will not be on inc

the method of its passage. Not only
are many Republicans in full sympsth!
with the bill. but they fear the politi,

Mr. Wilcox was also extremely
modest concerning what he expected
