Thirty per cent. Of the men who fail

business and borrows money, or

and that this character is more than

Electoral Votes Outside

WASHINGTON D. c.. June 2S.-
With the chairman Of the Republican
National Committee named by Charles

Party completely eliminated. and
with Hughes and Roosevelt in COM
plete accord. Republican leaders in
Washington predicted that there
would be q landslide for the Republi-
can Party at the polls next Novem-
Der.
The Mexican situation. these lead
ers said doubtless would be the chief
issue OF the campaign. They admitted
that if the landslide did not material
ize, New York would prove the
pivotal State. Specializing upon the
claims of the Democrats, the Republi-
can leaders said that without New
York it would be almost impossible
for the Democratic Party TO be con
tinued in power.
It was stated by the leading Re
publicans that they did not under
estimate the strength that comes to a
party i'm control of the government.
They were aware that the changing
situation with Mexico might have an
effect on the election. but asserted
that the present indecision Of the ad-
ministration was causing resentment
throughout the nation.
Wilson Needs New York.

cans might develop such strength that
