Mr.. Wilson has thrown the Hughes
party into fits by intimating that vic
tory for them would mean war with
Mexico and European powers.
Mr.. Wilson is perfectly justified in
drawing such conclusion, for these
reasons:
Neither Mr.. Hughes nor one Of his
hackers tells how pence would be pre-
served by any other policy than that
maintained by Wilson, which has sue
ceeded in preserving peace. Indeed Mr..
Hughes chief aide. Roosevelt rageth
with the war spirit.
Secondly, every interest in this coun-
try that would make huge profit from
war is for Hughes.
Thirdly, victory for Hughes would
be taken by Germany as Reputation OF
Wilson for putting down the subma-
rine crusades against ships OF peace,
and such crusades would be resumed.

or youth OF soldier age be fooled A

election, Wilson money being offered
in very large amounts at to 10. All
OF the Hughes money that was offered
at better than even money was really
taken by the Wilson supporters.
Brokers predicted that the situation
changed to such an extent that 1t
would only be a short time until the
odds would favor the election Of Will

Some bets were reported to-day at
even money, compared with 10 to in
favor OF Hughes, the odds ruling most
OF last week. Bets were reported at
the close OF last week both here and in
the West at 10 to 9 on Hughes,
