Alleged Basis of Charge.

The charge of the democratic ma
tiona1 committee contained what pur-
ported to be report made by Mr..
OLeary. at a session of the conference
in Chicago of what occurred at a meet
ing between Mr.. Hughes and the COM
mittee headed by O'Leary. The latter
was quoted in the report as having
said:
Mr.. Hughes promised that his future
conduct in the speech making line
would be entirely satisfactory to the
interests of the committee"
Mr.. Wilcox today characterized the
democratic committees report as a
''fiasco" attempt to prove "hyphenate
alliance" on Mr.. Hughes part There
is not shred of evidence that Mr..
Hughes had knowledge that O'Leary
would make a statement to the Ameri-
can Independent conference of prom
ises to frame his speech to please the
hyphenates," declared Mr. Wilcox.
No Part in Arranging Conference.
Mr.. Wilcox said he had no part in
arranging for the OLeary committee
to meet Mr.. Hughes, but that if it had
been called to his attention he would
not have objected. The chairman said
he makes no effort to keep ANY COM
mittee of legitimate citizens away
from Mr.. Hughes.

DEMOCRATS CLAIM
WASHINGTON STATE
Say Wilson Sentiment Is Grow
ing Steadily and Pre-
dict 5000 Plurality.
CHANGE. IN PUBLIC OPINION

Special Dispatch to The Star.
SEATTLE, October 23.-One OF the
most significant developments of the
national campaign in the state OF
Washington has been the crystalllza-
tion of the sentiment for Woodrow
Wilson. Democrats. with the result OF
numerous straw ballots known to them,
are confidently claiming the state. for
the President by pfura1ities varying
all the way from 5000 to 10000.
One Indication of the falling or OF
republican hope has been the steadily
decreasing pluralities claimed by party
leaders Two months ago republican
orators announced with perfect con-
viction that Washington would go re-
publican by $4,000. Some of the more
enthusiastic placed the estimate at
rs, 900. Since then they have gradually
tapered off their estimate until 1T has
well night reached the vanishing point
Some of the best informed of the party
leaders already concede the state to
Wilson.
1t has been known for months that
the Hughes candidacy has made little
impression on the minds of the wom-
an voters of Washington. Just how
far this sentiment had spread was un-
known to party leaders, even to the
Democrats. Within the last few days
straw ballots have been taken in va
rious communities under conditions
which seem to preclude the possibility
of fraud or error and the result has
been a body. blow to republican hopes.

OF PRESIDENT WILSON
Senator Hoke Smith Gives Result of
His Observations in the
Middle West.

Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia. dem
ocrat. who has been campaigning in the
middle west. today predicted the re-
election of President Wilson. He
reached Washington today and will
leave here for Georgia tonight. He
said:
My observations have been in Mis-
souri,. Illinois, Indiana and Ohio. 1 have
talked with many men not actively in
politics from Wisconsin, Michigan, Min
nesota and Kansas.
IF the election were to be held to-
day | believe Wisconsin and Ohio would
go for the President. The tide in both
of these states is strongly TO him.
1.-The electoral vote of Ohio and Wis
consin equals that of New York.
Hears of Republican Detection
I'm the rural sections of Indiana and
Missouri wherever / went, / heard of
men who had voted before the repub-
lican and the progressive tickets who
would vote for the President and most
of the democratic ticket.

Joined by sufficient republicanss and
porgressives to give counties to the
democratic ticket which have been
heretofore always republican.
The information ! received in south
ern Illinois indicated that the large
ma jority of the woman voters were for
President Wilson. and many OF the men
not heretofore voting the democratic
ticket were fer him.
Il believe the President has the best

Ohio and Wisconsin, with the vote

The recent declaration of Mr.. Hughes
with reference to the Lusitania, which
practically puts him in the same posi-
tion occupied by ex-President Roose-
welt, that his action on the sinking of
that vessel would have been such as to
take this country into war with Ger
many. has injured Mr.. Hughes and
helped President Wilson greatly.
Says Voters Fear Hughes.
The voters realize that the war may
nor be half over; that in the midst of
the terrible struggle between the con-
tending European powers Injuries to
Americans cannot be escaped, although
not intended, and they fear that Mr..
Hughes would unnecessarily carry the
country into war under circumstances
where President Wilson by. calmness
and diplomacy would secure American
rights and yet preserve peace.
When the republicans attribute our
present prosperity 10 the war. find the
average man ready to reply:
Yes, but II was also because our
country was not plunged by the Presi-
Gent into the war.
backed by Col. Roosevelt, will not con-
tiuue the wise policies of President
Wilson. II Is the opposition to war
more than anything else which is in

publicans to break the tide now run

The Austrian premier started his po-

William L. Dunlop. lifelong resident

lcgislated out of existence to be re-

Among his ancestors was Robert Pc

Women's Tour Disappointing.

The woman campaign special, which
toured the country in the interests of
the Hughes candidacy, was a disap-
pointment. The woman voters here, in
stead of rallying to the republican
cause, were inclined to receive the dis
tinguished visitors coolly In Oregon
the women heckled the campaigners.
and in various ways sought to dis
credit the visitors. Taken as a whole,
the trip to the Pacific coast fell far
moters.
The republican state committee is far
from satisfied with the campaign
which Senator Miles Poindexter, the
party nominee for United States sena-
tor, and former Gov. Henry Mcbride.
nominee for governor, are making
These gentlemen are looking after
their own interests almost exclusively.
and not saying word for Hughes
Both Senator PoindeXter and Gov Nc
Bride have announced that they are
fer Hughes, but apparently they have
considered that their duty has been
performed with that statement. The
republican committee would be better
pleased if they made Hughes speeehe S
instead of looking too closely after
their private interests in the cam
paign.
Some of the more hopeful of the re-
publican leaders aver that the situa-
uon is satisfactory. and have warned
their colleagues not to be stampeded
by the apparent rising Wilson senti-
ment. They say that the normal re-
publican majority in Washington is
tco large to be overcome. 1t is also
pointed out that the present campaign
has it's parallel in that of 1896, when
William Jennings Bryan, shortly be-
fore election day, looked like sure
winner. They contend that history will
repeat itself
However, viewing the situation i'm
partially. II is certain that the outlook
for the Wilson party is better than 1t
was week ago. and the republicans
are fully awake to the possibility Of
losing the state.

Trend Toward Woodrow Wilson.

Allowing literally for the disinciina-
tion of the staid and dignified group Of
republicans to participate in informal
bal1oting, there is still a comfortable
margin of safety for the democrats.
Either these informal ballots must be
disregarded altogether or they point
plainly the trend of public opinion in
this state.
The causes for the republican debacle
are various. In the first place none
of the republican orators, save Albert
J. Beveridge. struck a sympathetic note
here. The Hughes tour came too early
in the campaign and might well have
been dispensed with entirely. The peo-
pie here had clothed Hughes with a
fictitious personality and were disap-
pointed when they had the opportu-
nifty to rub elbows with him. Charles
Warren Fairbanks did not make much
impression 1t appeared to many who
knew him personally that he was not
at his best and at any rate his COM
ing and going changed no votes.
With Albert J. Beveridge the situa-
tion was different. His address in
Seattle was mastery and was just the
sort to make an impressive appeal to
the voting public of Seattle He was
heard by a few thousand voters and
while the reports of his speech were
given wide publicity, the speech itself
lost much in the telling 1t needed
the personality of Beveridge to put il
over.
