Kentucky Safely Democratic.

Hughes campaign chairman, Will liam Wilcox, started out by listing the Democratic states of North Carolina, Tennessee and Kentucky in the doubt full column. He soon gave up the first two, and he might as well give up Ken lucky, for the Blue Grass state was never more surely Democratic than it is this year.
 If Wilson can carry most of the de batable states having a Democratic leaning he will have enough electoral votes and a few to spare.-Birming- ham (Ala.) Age-Herald.
 The laboring people are convinced that in President Wilson they have a man who will see that they get what he believes to be their rights, and they are for him. Hughes, on the other hand, has a record as governor of New York which Is not especially pleasing to the workingmen of the country Then, he is not in the class with the president in the matter of public speak ing and writing. It is becoming more and more certain that the president will be reelected.

FASHIONABLE COAT FOR LITTLE MAID.

They have added cultures with loops of hair to other high and stately styles, and are showing others with small puffs and several short curls pinned at the crown of the head in the back, for those who like lower hairdress.
 Among high cultures there is one design in which a band of waved hair Is wound about the head like a wide band of ribbon, near the forehead. It allows a few orderly waves and ring lets to escape about the face, and the back hair is arranged in puffs at the top of the crown. This Is an unusual and very finished-looking hairdress.
 A similar coiffure is shown in the picture. In this design all the hail is waved and the front hair is combed , back over a foundation which raises ii at the top of the head. At the back cluster of curls is pinned below the crown and a band of waved hair is brought across above the nape of the neck. It will be seen that ornamental pins are an essential part of this coif fure-they finish and support it.

After reviewing coats made for the small girl it seems that they range through as great a variety of mate rials, and almost as great variety of styles, as coats for grown-ups. All the soft, woolly goods, several fur fabrics and plushes. velvet in various colors, and all-fur coats promise a season of rich and comfortable out door wear for the little miss.
 It is a fad of the season to have a hat or bonnet and tiny huff made of the same material as the coat. From top to toe almost everything small ladies wear is of one kind of cloth. For trimming, narrow bandings of the shorthaired and least costly furs are used. Shocking and shirring play important roles in making coats of wool velours, Bolivia and similar cloths, and they are at their best CD velvet.

Republican Sheet Pessimistie.

The Terre Haute Und.) Star (Re- publican) warns the party of Hughes that it twill have to get busy" in these words: "The most foolish thing the Republicans can do in the present cam paign will be to underestimate the magnitude of the job they have on hand. Their hopes for November may be realized, but not unless ways and means are wisely considered and sa- gaciously applied. Their cOntemptu- ous attitude toward Wilson is as yet long way from wide popular ac- ceptance.
 "Vast numbers continue to look upon the president as a brave and sincere man, humanly imperfect, perhaps, but in full sympathy with the progressive reforms of the hour, passionately de voted to the causes of democracy and liberty, jealous for peace, firmly set against greed and oppression in high | places. Some of these numbers must be won over or the battle is lost"

Democratic Leaders Confident ot

Splendid Record of the President Has Won the Confidence of the People of Three Important West
 ern States.

President Wilson's western campaign managers gave him an agreeable sur prise upon his arrival in Chicago on his way to Omaha when they in formed him that landslide awaits him in the West in the election. They told him that the Democrats will gain notable victories in the states Of Juan, Washington and Oregon.
 At the close of days fatiguing jour- ney on his first visit to the middle West since his renomination, the presl- dent listened for an hour to the gratl- flying reports of Senators Thomas J. Walsh, western campaign manager Senators Salisbury and Husting, Con- gressman Ferris and Mrs. George Bass head of the woman's bureau of the Democratic National committee. They reported that "big Democratic drive is being made in every state west o1 the Allegheny mountains.
 As the presidents train backed into the station, Mir. Wilson hurried to the rear platform of his car to greet the railway ttrainmen, whose enthusiastic cheering and noisy footing of locomo | tive whistles greeted his arrival We're with you, Woody" yelled tht | fireman of a passing switch engine A man in the signal tower called fol three cheers for Wilson, and they were given with lusty will. The presiden waved his acknowledgements.
 From the platform of his car MT Wilson greeted the workers wh' crowded about, and for more than quarter of an hour he grasped warml, the grimy hands that were held alof to seize his.
 If one-half of the reports comin to the western headquarters are true, said Senator Walsh, "a tremendou Democratic landslide is ahead of us We are making enormous gains in tn West and middle West" Utah, one o the two states carried by Taft fou years ago, and Oregon and Washing ton were placed in the Democratic co umn in the report made to the pres dent.

DOES NATION DESIRE WARP
President Wilson's Solemn Warning of What a Republican Victory
 Would Mean.

President Wilson, speaking before the Young Mems League of Democrat ic Clubs at Shadow Lawn, Long Branch, N. J., September 30, told the American people that the nation faces the parting of the ways at the election, November z. The choice is: Elect Wilson and continue the policy Of -peace-or, elect Hughes and plunge America into war.
 "There is only one choice as against peace, and that is war;" said the presi- dent. Some of the supporters of that Ohe Republican, party, a very great body of supporters of that party, outspokenly declare that they want war, so that the certain prospects of the success of the Republican party is that we shall be drawn, in one form or another, into the embroilments of the European war, and that to the south of us the forces of the United States will be used to produce in Mex ico the kind of law and order which some of the investors in Mexico con- sider most to their advantage.
 '1 do not find that anybody else's counsel is taken in respect of the pol icy that this country should pursue with regard to Mexico, except those who have hitherto acted as the coun- selOrs for the vested interests in Mex ico. The whole country is acquainted with the gentlemen who have been con- suited. There is no concealment, even by themselves, whose attorneys they are. They have talked to me. know exactly what they want. l have de clined to give it to them and now they are going where they think they can get it. And there is every indication on the surface, at any rate, that their calculation is well founded.
 'The conference which is being held with regard to Mexican affairs is em barrassed every day by the apparent evidence which is being produced that hostility to Mexico is being traded upon by one of the great political par ties. These gentlemen may reconcile these influences with patriotic pur pose, but it is difficult for all of us tt do so, and the one thing I want to la! emphasis upon in this connection 1! this: That a great, fundamental, fina
 choice with regard to our foreign re lationships is to be made on the 7tl of November"
