"SUFFS' Invade
MARYLAND Town
Congressional Union to Or
ganize Chapter of Women
in Rockville.

The auto campaign OF the Congression-
al Union Suffragists started in earnest
yesterday when two autos filled to capac-
ity left the union headquarters shortly
afternoon and rode out to Rockville, a
town In the Sixth Congressional district
of Maryland
The women arrived in front of the town
courthouse Just as court adjourned. All
the men OF the place soon gathered about
the place and listened to Mrs. Minnie
Brooke. Of Chevy Chase, expound the
principles of woman suffrage. Mrs. Edna
Latimer also addressed the crowd. The
auditors were permitted the privilege Of
asking questions.
Tomorrow evening the women of Rock
vile will meet with the leaders of the
Congressional Union to organize a local
chapter of the union. All the women
OF the place are said to have expressed
desire to organize.
During the next month the Congression-
al Union will make a thorough tour of
nearby places in Maryland

Hughes Says He's for War
If Duty Demands Firmness

In fast is needed for the existing condi-
ions. We accepted Mr.. Hughes on that
oasis and expected him to make a cam
paign on calm, judicial lines-a busl-
ness mans campaign. We thought Of
him as man of thoughtful judicial.
constructive tendencies who will make
statesman-like campaign Instead Of
that. he comes to us forcefully. militant.
cutting and slashing about Just as
Roosevelt himself would have done. Ma
turally, we are disappointed
All safely Republican,.
None of these men doubt that Hughes
will lose any of the States he has Wis
tied. They are all safely Republican. it
Is stated. but they are solicitous about
the situation in the East and the plant
they voice is practically the only serious
objection even the Progressives are rails
ing.
There was a little furry in Tacoma to-
day because the Republican national
committeeman. Sam Perkins, neglected
to invite United States Senator Miles
PoindeXter to participate in the recep-
tion to Hughes. Half a dozen Progress
sives sent a telegram to Hughes calling
his attention to the oversight and re-
questing him to extend an invitation to
the Senate to join the party But up to
the time Hughes left Tacoma no answer
had been sent to the request and no
member of the official Hughes party will
discuss the matter.
Seattle was reached at 6 o'clock tonight
and following a street parade Hughes
addressed big meeting in the arena
here where 5000 greeted him He left
Seattle at midnight for Portland, Ore
where he will address both afternoon
and evening meetings

hand. however. that something is wrong
in this section with the Republican cam
paign. 1t doesn't take fire. There is a
very manifest lack OF enthusiasm. There
hasn't been good, healthy Western
cheer since Mr.. Hughes left Minneapolis.
What isn't down here is the result OF
talks the correspondent has had with
officials in the leading cities visited. busi-
ness men and voters. generally. both
male and female.
The chief complaint is this:
Mr.. Hughes is wasting too much time
attacking the Wilson administration.
The attacks are generally described as
petty. but whatever their nature. the
point is being made that what the people
of the West are most anxious to hear
Is not what the present administration
has failed TO do. but what Mr.. Hughes
will do If he is elected President
SunrsRists Are Eager.
For illustration. the women want to
know if he will lay before Congress a
measure advising a Constitutional amend
ment providing for universal suffrage.
But the main thing desired Is that the
attacks on the Wilson administration
shall cease and the candidate get down
to business.
We all know what Wilson has done, u
a city official of Tacoma said today.
We are agreed that he should give us
plenty of speeches telling us what he
proposes to do
Here in Seattle a prominent business
man. a member of the committee on re-
ception, said to group of the cores
pOndents with the candidate before the
party had been in the city half an hour:
Cant you gentlemen induce Mr..
Hughes to cut out his attacks on the
administration and talk>on the issues he
represents himself? What we want out
here Is tariff talk. That and business.
We want a business administration and
if Mr.. Hughes will convince us that he
will give US that kind of administration
he will carry Washington State over
whelmingly'
In Tacoma the same story was re-
peated
All for Preparedness.
Everybody is for preparedness and
the preservation of the national honor"
said a Tacoma man. ut seems to US
like time wasted to discuss these things"
But the most novel objection to Hughes
that has developed was outlined by a
Spokane banker last night-an ardent
Progressive. who is for Hughes and
wants to win. He said:
1T was represented to US that a man
Of judicial temperament and restrained
tendencies-the antithesis Of Roosevelt

The Object In Cattle dipping.

There is a common, although
erroneous, impression that the
dipping Of catI]" is merely to get
the ticks off lI,"m; ami while this
is partly true, the chief part the
cattle play in The process is to
keep gathering ticks from the pas.
ture (tick -infested) until the ticks
have all been gathered up and de.
stroyed in the dipping vat. If the
dipping is kept up every q days,
with -out fail, that will be the
result, as the ticks develop on
the animal and fall off on an aver
age OF % days From this it is
seen that the 2l-day dipping
catches the ticks before they have
had time to drop off and prodace
more ticks. The ticks that are
found on the animal between dip.
