This vote is expected to go heavily

however. Members of both houses from
all parts Of the state, gathered for
one day. reported a decided improve
ment in the situation as to Hughes
during the last week or SO. Members
are running for reelection on nom
partisan tickets. and therefore are NOT
speaking as party boosters.
The democrats brought their cam
paign to an early climax with a meet
ing in the Minneapolis auditorium DC
tober ~. addressed by Judge Albert
Nortoni OF st. Louis, former progress
sive: Ole Hansen of Washington. and
local speakers. 1t was a big meeting
and enthusiasm was marked. The re-
publicans are coming back tonight with
wind-up rally to be addressed by
Raymond Robins of Chicago, Gov Burn
quist and Frank B. Kellogg. Robins.
like Nortoni, was a democrat before he
became progressive. but now is said to
be one of the most effective speakers on
the stump for Hughes. Republicans
have covered the state with speakers
during the Anal week, with an old
fashioned wind-up drive.
Announcement that Hugh T. Halbert
former progressive state chairman of
Minnesota, had Joined with other pro-
gressives in an Endorsement of Wilson,
did not stir up much interest here. Hal
bert met with business reverses two
years ago and left the state. He has
not been back for year or more and
his friends generally had lost track of
him. His brother. Clarence w. Halbert,

Special Correspondence Of The Star.
ALEXANDRIA, Va, November A.
The political campaign in Alexandra
has been throughout characterized by
apathy. When the citizens of this
place go to the polls Tuesday to cast
their ballot it will be the first time
within the recollection of some of the
Oldest inhabitants that they have done
so without having heard a political
speech during the campaign.
Only one meeting was held In Alex
andr.a, and that was a few nights ago.
when the plate printers of Washington
held a meeting ratifying the candidacy
of Representative Charles c. Carhn 1or
Congress from this district.
Despite the fact that little or no poll
tics has been talked here, 1t IS gener-
ally believed that good sized vote
will be polled Tuesday. There are aP-
this city and it is believed that about
/ 500 votes will be cast. The polls VIII
open at sunrise and close at sunset.
The voting places in the different Warus
will be as follows: First, Armory nan
second, 100 North Royal street: third,
SIS Queen street and fourth. Friend

Election Board Complete.
The city electoral board has complet-
ed plans for the election and the 'vari-
Gus election officials by wards Will De

Interest here centers principally IN
the congressional race between Repre-

incumbent: Joseph L. Crupper. repub-
Iican nominee. and William H Hamil-

Favoring Republicans.
HUGHES LEADS IN BETTING

Special Dispatch to The Star
MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi. November A.
On the very eve of election. both. par
ties are claiming Minnesota's electoral
vote with equal show of confidence
Betting odds favor Hughes to carry
the state. but no one expects him to get
over $4,000. and bedrock predictions of
some republican managers are under
that figure. Chester A congdon, re-
publican national committeeman, claims
the state for Hughes by 10000. Chair
man Fred E. Wheaton of the democrats
is claiming $4,000 plurality for Wilson.
Surface indications for most of the
campaign indicated a possible land
slide for Wilson in this state, but the
republicans have done their best fight
ing in Minnesota in the last two weeks.
They have been putting up vigorous
speaking campaign and precinct work
ers have been busy, with the result
that many Indifferent republicans have
been walked up to take a hand, and in
the last fortnight Hughes stock has
been rising. The state must still be
kept in the doubtful column, as the
extent of the Wilson sentiment is hard
to estimate. and conditions are decid-
eddy mixed. Much depends on the city
OF Minneapolis, which in past elections
has been break from the straight and
narrow path.
Record Vote Expected.
This year Minneapolis probably will
cast record vote. Nearly $4,000 reg
istrations were made on October 2s,
the final day for adding names to the
register or recording removals. This
brought the total to 1926, which prob
ably will be cut to about 10000 when
Implications due to removal certificates
are cut out. But the registration four
years ago was only 54,4S1. The in
crease is all over the city, but is heav-
lest In the strong republican wards.
Iense interest in the mayoralty cam
paign is the reason for the abnormally
heavy registration.
In the so-called non-partisan pri-
mary the fight was narrowed to two
candidates, Sheriff Otto S. Langum, re-
publican. and Thomas Van Lear. an
avowed socialist. Van Lear has big
organized labor committee and is max
ing his campaign mainly on the street
car franchise issue. Business men have
become alarmed at the danger of his
election, and the town is aroused over
the prospect of a socialist city admin
istration. For this reason many voters
have registered who habitually stay
away from elections This registra-
tion. republicans believe, is much in
their favor.
Some local democratic leaders have
been cultivating the socialists, as
there is no democratic candidate for
mayor. by talking a combination of
Wilson and Van Lear" This talk has
been encouraged by the organization.

DICTATED BY GREED
Shameful Policies Formulated by
Manufacturers.
Summed Up, II Would Appear That the
Cotton Manufacturer Association
stands for ExtortIon, Cruelty,
Tyranny, and Monopoly.

The American Cotton Manufactur-
ers' association, in session at Atlanta,
enthusiastically adopted resolutions
demanding a high protective tariff, the
defeat Of the child-labor bill in con
gress, the denial of Philippine indie
pendence and the legalization Of com
binations to control foreign trade.
Why nothing was said in favor Of bur-
glary and abduction is not explained.
We do not believe that our business
men are as vicious as the policies Of
the lackeys supported by their organ
lzation often make them appear. In
MS declaration an important element
or producers subscribed to %extortion.
cruelty, tyranny and monopoly. Prac
tlcally all the social and political ad-
Vancement made by humanity since
the days OF John Hampton was belied

only n excuse was made for such
a platform of abomination, and that
was fear. There is fear that the pres.
ent prosperity will not last; that Eu.
ropean competition after the war will
DE deadly; that humanity toward
ildho will shorten the supply Of
cheap labor. and that freedom in the
philippines may restrict a market.
Fear Is one Of the basest of passions,
ecause it Is made a cover for VIC.
lence and injustice.
Many people are inclined to marvel
at the desperation to which war has
brought the highly-civilized nations Of
Europe. Here under conditions of pro
found peace we have a spirit no less

PITY THE POOR STEEL TRUST
Report Of Business Conditions Shows
How Badly "Infant Industry" Is
In Need Of Protection,

The National Bank of the Republic
OF this city has published the follow.
ing analysis of the steel business in
general and that of the steel trust
in particular:
The unified orders of this one pro-
ducer on February 20 reached the
largest total ever reported. g.
Incoming business was so per cent in
excess of shipments, although the or
ders already on the books would be
sumcient to maintain the present huge
output for more than six months with
u the acquisition of a single add.
tional order. The existing demand for
steel products is estimated to be Just
double the productive capacity. The
rising prices are met without hest
fancy. . Pig iron production is
now at a yearly rate of nearly 10000
900 tons, and the greater part of this
output is contracted for six months in
advance"
Consider further that the demand
for steel products will not decline at
the close of the war, owing to the
reconstruction necessary.
Under such circumstances, isn't it pos.
itively pitiful that the poor steel trust
must face the future without any
mortgage on the White House and
without being able to bar all foreign
metal goods from the United States
by an Aldrich tariff ?--Chicago Jour

Where n hasrnever made the ex-

Drinking Postum is a pleasant way
out of coffee troubles. A Penn. man

trouble but could not find anything to
take its place until we tried Postum.
Within two weeks after she quit coffee
and began using Postum almost all OF
her troubles had disappeared as If by

nervousness was gone, stomach trou.
Bile relieved, appetite improved and,
above all, a nights rest was complete
