Hitchcock Optimistic.-Frank H.
Hitchcock, member Of the Republican
advisory committee, has brought back
from the West rosy view OF Repub-
lican prospects He has reported to
Chairman Wilcox his confidence that
Mr.. Hughes win carry Illinois. Indi-
ana, Wisconsin and Ohio by large
majorities. Mr.. Hitchcock says that
the great fighting ground consists OF
New York, New Jersey, Missouri and
Nebraska. The first two he is conf
dent will cast their electoral votes
for Hughes. The two second he re-
CARDS as possibly doubtful, but he
is very hopeful of both Mr.. Hitch.
cock tells Chairman Wilcox that the
Republicans will gain two senators
in Indiana and that 1t is highly inn
portant TO concentrate the Republi.
can efforts on Nebraska. Montana,
Nevada. Arizona and New Mexico,
each Of which has a senator to elect.
Speaking of the campaign In general.
Mr.. Hitchcock reports that 1t is going
with a great swing, that Mr.. Hughes
is putting the punch into his speeches
and that he is obviously carrying ev-
erything before him.

Cummins AIisled. IF Senator
Cummins is correctly quoted regard
ing the child labor bill and Governor
Hughes's comments thereon, the SEN
ator from Iowa has been seriously
mlsled. Governor Hughes has point
ed out that II was only with the aid
Of Republican senators that this bill
was passed and that he had himself
been an active supporter Of child la
Dor before the Wilson administration
was ever heard Of. Regarding the
broad principle Of prohibiting child
labor, Mr.. Hughes has further point
ed out that Mr.. Wilson and his Demo-
cratic friends have nothing oboast
Of. for the further reason that 1t is
in states entirely controlled by Dem
ocrats that the evil is greatest. and
that 1t is generally an evil which the
federal statute cannot reach and
which must be dealt with by state
legislation.

eminent the next two years.
The president has been the author
OF many admirable professions OF neu-
trality and has flttingly phrased all
true Americans' concept Of America
first At one time his campaign for
Reelection had for its central theme
"hyphenated Atnaricanism," that spec
les Of disloyalty which he was always
careful to state was Of insignificant
proportions.
The Anericanism issue now has been
relegated TO the background by the ad-
mintstration. The Democratic leaders
were opposed to antagonizing further

Moreover, the administration found
itself finally placed on the defensive on
the very issue 1t had raised. 1t was
commended that if the president had
been sincerely actuated by the spirit OF
traditional American!sm the most pow
crful neutral nation in the world would
have been able to prevent Germany
from killing $50 Of its citizens on the
high seas and to stop the continuous
depreciation upon its foreign trade and
its mail and telegraph by Great Britain.
The federation Of British domination
by the president has caused him 10 be
charged widely with harboring British
sympathies.
The administration, compelled to
meet these charges. did so in various
ways. One cabinet member explained
that the president is not disposed TO
take drastic measures against Great
Britain because he believes English
friendship a valuable asset Of the Uni
