Republican victory in Connecticut by 10000 or better plurality. with the national and state tickets running close together was the prediction made Saturday by J.

Mclean and the five republican congressman.
 One after aonther, according to MT. Roraback, the Issues" that have bob bed up during the campaign have dis appeared and left Connecticut voters considering the real issue that has made Connecticut a republican state the nee< of a great industrial com monwealth such as this for pro- tective tariff.
 First came the Adamson bill, with it's uncertain terms and its gold brick provisions" said MT. Rora- back. For a time. it took a strong hold in Connecticut. but since three or what it is-undesirable legislation for every man who works for wages, in- cluding even those whom it Is suppos- ed to benefit.
 After the democrats began to chant,
 He kept us out of war; the voters
 
 refused to take up the chant, for their thoughts brought mental pie lures of Vera Cruz. of Carrizal, of Co., lupabuss New Mexico, ,esandepef Persh- ing's expedition into Mexico, of the Lusitania and Sussex and the others. They thought of more Americans kill | ed in Mexico than the total losses of l our troops during the Spanish warf They realized the more or less open and notorious dealings on the part of l the Wilson administration with Villa and the other bandits, and the CO., operation with Villa admitted by Will son to Senator Borah. Connecticut voters were quick to realize that the | backbone. in the White House would | have given us peace-with honor-in- l stead of a peace that has lost to us l the respect of the world. They know | that the reason we have kept out of war has been that no nation wanted to fight with us, and that, had it not been for this fact, we would have been | dragged into war by the foreign poli- min;stration. The president could not have gone to war without a vote of congress and at no time did more than twenty members of congress want 10 fight.

They knew that Senator Oscar Underwood and Presi- dent Wilson intend that there shall be no protective feature in a tariff | written by the commission they pro- pose, that the South will make the tariff and New England will have to make the best of 1t. Connecticut will | not stand for a party that does not promise her workingmen protection. There will be about 10000 new vot- es in this election, and a total of close to BIO, 900. In 1912, the vote for pres | ident was: Wilson, 74,561; Taft, 6S,- ! 324; Roosevelt 34.129. In 1914, Gov ernor Holcomb boiled 91.262 votes and Lyman T. Tingier, the democratic can- didate, received 73.sss votes,g making | Holcomb's plurality over Tingier IT, l s74 votes. Willard c. Fisher, pro- lgresive candidate for governor boiled ,O3D votes. A study of these figures shows that at least 75 per cent. of the
