TELL OF TROUBLES
First Convention Hears Many
Speeches on Angles Of
the Business.

Representatives Of $50 trade journals
assembled yesterday In tho Hotel Aston
TO listen to papers on problems con-
fronting the editor and publisher. II
was the first annual convention OF the
Associated Business Papers. Inc.
The editors and publishers also dis
cussed freely their difficulties and traded
solutions. Among the topics considered
was the cost Of white paper, John Clyde
Oswald Of the American Printer, in "A
paper on THE Editorial Function Of
Types" said tia 1t was a great mistake
for publishers to meet the increasing
cost OF paper by reducing the size Of
type used.
1.-THE amount Of reading matter in the
journal does not matter as much as the
amount that registers In the readers
lead. and that Is decreased by the use
OF small type" he said.
James II. McGraw. head OF the Me-
Graw Publishing Company. publishers Of
the Electrical World, said that unless
Industrial leaders offer n quick solution
70 the labor question labor itself will
| solve Il in a manner unsatisfactory TO
business. Others delivering addresses

BARNES SURE STATE
WILL PICK HUGHES
Canvass Of Albany County
Shows Record Plurality
There, Says Leader.

william Barnes. credited even by His
enemies with having uncommon political
sagacity, announced last evening that
Albany county would give Mr.. Hughes
the largest plurality ever given a Presi-
Dental candidate. He also aid that
while he could speak with defniteness
only about his own county he believed
that the state would go for MIR. Huehes
by at lesst $4,000.
Mr.. Barnes made his forecast last
evening on his return from Albany. where
he has been for a week c~anvaeing the
situation with his i%ieutenants. A week
from tonight he Ia TO preside at the big
meeting IN Albany 10 be addressed by
Mr.. Hughes. To reporters. he said:
There Is a rather wide mieapprehen-
sion regarding the pluralitiee in Albany
county. owing TO the fact that In local
elections the Republican pluralities are
very ,arec. In 1898. We gave McKin-
lev $500 IN 1900. 5000: in 1904. we
gave Roosevelt 5000, In 1908. We gave
Taft 5000 and In 1912, $500. our can
vsss In Albany county. usually pretty
accurate. IL now practically completed.
II shows about $500 for Hughes. The
| state and local ticket. would he some-
what higher han this II the election were
to-day.
81 have no doubt. however. that the
work still to be done In the next ten
days will convince many that the inter
ests Of their country as well as them-
selves demand Mr.. Hughes's election.
Consequently Mr.. Hushes's plurality may
/ exceed $500. but ! am confident II VIII
not fall below Il.
Furthermore, ! see no reason TO DE-
iieve that conditions In Albany ounty
are different from those elsewhere in the
| State"
When asked to account for the In
ased plurality indicated by the Albany
poll Mr.. Barnes called attention to the
rapid increase In the Republican enrol
ment ever since the election OF Wilson
amounting In Albany county TO at leas'
/ 10. 900. Most OF this jump. he pointed
out, occurred In 1914 and was due to thu
injury done to industry by the Demo
cratic tartR law.
In the view OF Mr.. Barne the present
situation closely parallels the Hughes
Hears campaign OF 1906. II Is his opin'
ion that the upstate counties are e
record about the same pluralit!es tina
they did In that election. But the Re
publican plurality above the Bronx wa.
lao, 600. while Mr.. Hearsts plurality IL
this city was only $4,000.
81 would suggest" said Mr.. Barnes
that you watch the vote on election
night and compare 1t with the vote II
1906"
Mr.. Barnes also called attention e
1 the fact that Mr.. Gerard when he raI
for United States Senator got 1890
votes In New York city and yet wa
beaten In the State by $4,000.
On the basis OF the vote in 1912 Mr.
Wilson must win over 10000 votes q
break even. which would mean that h,
must win one vote in every seven cas-
that year for Taft and Roosevelt. TIL!
Mr.. Barnes does not believe he Cal
possibly accomplish. Though taking ~
part in the national campaign and un
able therefore. he said, TO speak Will
authority. Mr.. Barnes said he REGARDED
Mr.. Hughes's election on November I al
almost a certainty.
