Chicago, October 5-"New York will
cast its electoral vote for Hughes, it
will elect a Republican United States
Senator to succeed O'Gorman, will re-
elect Governor Whitman and will in
crease its Republican representation
in the House by at least four men,
bers,' said United States Senator
James w. Wadsworth, when he stop
ped at Western headquarters of the
Republican National Committee in
Chicago the other day. New York"
added the Senator, has lost conf
donce in President Wilson; it is con-
WINGED the Democratic party can not
efficiently and economically admins
ter the sovement of the United States,
and that it cannot properly protect
the business and commercial interests
OF the United States against foreign
invasion after the war is over.
New York Is Safe
There has never been any doubt
about New York going Republican this
year." the Senator went on to say,
land Mr. Hughes, always popular in
the State, is stronger today than when
the campaign opened. He is daily
gaining support among the laboring
men, by his frank and fearless analy-
sis and exposure of the Adamson law.
When that law was passed, the labor
ing men were disposed to regard it as
what it purported to bean eight-hour
law-but as Mr. Hughes has shown it
to be not a law affecting in any way
the hours of labor, shown that it is
purely law to raise the wages of
limited number of railroad employees
totally ignoring the great bulk of
them, and has shown that it does not
affect labor in general in any way
whatsoever, the laboring men of New
iOih, anu may ody vi OlHtI Slhtco'
have awakened to the fact that they
have been buncoed, and that the Adam
son law. in fact, was nothing more
than a bit of political trickery design
ed to capture labor votes. 1t needed
Just such man as Mr.. Hughes to
show up that law in its true light
The people understand what he says
and have confidence in his words.
A Reunited Republican Party
Speaking of the New York situation
generally, we have there a reunited
Republican party; the progressives
Joined the Republicans two years ago,
and in that off year we rolled up a
record vote. Our people are intensely
interested in what is to be done by
the government to meet the situation
we must face after the war is over.
They know there must be an effective
barrier against the flood of cheap
products that will come from Europe,
and they know that only Republican
protective tariff will afford them ade-
quate protection against this threaten
ed invasion. On that issue along. Mr..
Hughes is very strong in our State.
New Workers DeplOre Humiliation
But New Workers, aside from all
this, are Disguised with the Wilson
administration; they deplore and they
resent the humiliation that has been
heaped upon this country by reason of
the yacillatlon and webbing OF Presi-
dent Wilson; they want an end TO I'M
businesslike administration of govern
ment affairs. and they want compe-
tent men placed in charge of the gov
eminent, They are. In a word. tired of
the Wilson administration and know
that under Mr.. Hughes they can have
business-like and economical admin
