SAY wilson
CAN'T CARRY
HOME STATE
Republican Leaders Base Their
Calculations on Jersey
Vote in 1912.

NEW YORK. August l-Republican
politicians in New Jersey say they are
confident President Wilson cannot
carry his home state this fall They
base their calculations on the fact that
Mr.. wilson's popular vote in New Jer-
sey in 1912 was 55,956 less than the
combined vote OF the Republican and
Progressive candidates for president
and the belief that he is not as strong
with Jerseymen now as he WAS then
because Of his handling Of the Mexican
situation and other administration
problems
Mr.. Wilson's vote in 1912 was 49,
2Sg. Col. Roosevelt received l45,4lO
and William II. Taft, Republican, got
total Of $685.
In 1910 when Mr. Wilson was elect
ed governor Of New Jersey he re-
ceived 233.GS2 votes, or 500 less than
Roosevelt and Taft together got in
1912. The figures prove conclusiyely,
Republican and Democratic politicians
say, that the Progressive vote was cast
almost solidly for Mr. Wilson in 1910.
In order to carry New Jersey this
year. the Republicans point out, Mr..
Wilson must have large Progressive
support. and they profess TO believe
that everything indicates that this sup
port will be reduced to minimum
before the November election.
The New Jersey Progressive state
committee by vote Of seven to five
decided on July 10 not to be bound by
the action Of the national Progressive
committee in endorsing Charles Evans
Hughes's candidacy, but this action, it
is believed. will not have any far
reaching effect for the reason that
committeeman OF only twelve Of the
twenty-one counties in the state voted
on the proposition.
The Republican leaders, who are
now devoting all their attention to the
various gubcrnatorial and senatorial
contests and have not started to cam
paign for Hughes. say Progressiyes are
fast returning to the party. and that
the Republicans are preparing TO pre-
sent an almost united front They
contend that the state elections since
Mr.. Wilson turned New Jersey upside
down when he was elected governor
have shown the faith Of the people in
the Republican party. At the last cleo
tion fall of 1879 the Republicans had
n plurality Of 3l,505 on the average
vote for asscmblymen az a time when
there wasn't much to get excited about
1t is a forcgone conclusion that II
Otto Wittpen, naval officer at the port
of New York and eX-mayor Of Jersey
CITY. will be the Democratic candidate
for Governor. He was a candidate for
the nomination in three cornered
fight in 1913, but President Wilson
caused him TO retire from the race in
the interest Of party harmony. 1t is
known that Mr.. Wilson went on the
theory that Wlttpen wasn't as strong
as Fielder. who was Subsequently elect

Careless Use of
Soap Spells the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully,
if you want to keep your hair looking
it's best. Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much alkaI.
This dries the scalp, makes the hair
brittle. and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is just
ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil (Which
is pure and greaseless), and is better
than themost expensive soap or any
thing else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply
moisten the hair with water and rub it
in. 1t makes an abundance of rich
creamy lather. which rinses out cas-
ily removing every particle of dust,
dirt. dandruff and excessive oil. The
hair dries quickly and evenly, and it
leaves the scalp soft, and the hair fine
than the most expensive soap or any
easy to manage
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at any pharmacy. it's very cheap. and
a few ounces will supply every mem
Der of the family for months.-Adver-
