1T is interesting TO note the re-
suits from ten States in which Re
publicans were not successful in the
1914 election, these being representa-
tive States in different sections Of the
country. In the total votes cast in
these the Democrats won by a plu-
rality Of less than 100000
In 1912 the Democratic plu-
rality in these same States was more
than 100000. A very small per
centage Republican gain would have
put three Of these States into the Re
publican column. as an increase of q
little more than 5000 Republican
votes would have carried Nebraska

OPPOSE Placing TAX
ON SMALL incomes
Action of Democratic Sen
atorS StirS Fight in Their
Own Party
TO REDUCE TAX ON
COPPER PRODUCTIONS

WASHINGTON, Aug. THE Demo
Gratis of the Senate Finance Com
mittee who voted on Saturday to
lower the exemptions of the income
tax. yesterday awaited the verdict of
the country and the protests from
within their own party. The amend
ment would lower the exemption for
persons with families from $4,000 to
$4,000 and for single persons from
$4,000 to $1,000.
The decision. it is said, will not be
ratified by the Democratic caucus
without a vigorous hght Democratic
members of the committee stood five
for and four against the lower ex-
emptions. and some of the strongest
members of the committee are
against it, The party caucus will be
held early next week 10 pass upon
the committees action.
The subcommittee. of which Sena-
tor Gore is chairman. but in his alb
sence. led by Senator James, of Ken
lucky, decided not to lower the ex-
empticn from its present status of
$4,000 for single men and $4,000 for
married men. They favored taxing
the larger incomes and decided to
add a surtax of 13 per cent to in
comes in excess Of S1,000,00 making
the tax on these incomes Is per cent.
The opposing Democratic Senators
are more inclined TO political eXpedi-
ency than to recognition of such a
due need Of revenue as to require
lowering the exemption TO $4,000 for
single and $4,000 for married men.
This action of the Democratic Fin
auco Committee does not have the ap-
proval of the Democratic Bulletin, o
publication issued by the Democratic
NattDnal Committee.
The subcommittee on the munitions
section of the revenue bill, it was def

CALIFORNIANS READY
 FOR FINISH FIGHT
Republicans and Moose Bitter, Is Candidate Hughes Discovery

San Francisco, Cal, Aug. 19- While leaders of the republican and progressive parties engaged in Open combat, each side refusing to listen to talk of a reconciliation except on Its own terms, Charles F. Hughes, re- publican nominee for president strove hard yesterday to arouse the people of California and unite them behind him despite the bitter faction al strife which he found on every hand.
 The nominee received a splendid reception when he arrived in this city at 1 o'clock in the afternoon The audiences at meeting of women which he addressed at the Palace ho- tel at 3:30 o'clock, and at the Civic auditorium in the evening. were among the biggest he has faced on the tour but the evidence of friction among the leaders was always at hand. Thus far SIr. Hughes has done nothing of a Sefinite nature to straighten things out He is finding t a difficult task to determine what, if anything, to do.
 Governor Hiram Johnson, progress siVe candidate for the senate, who is also running in the republican prima- rleS for the senate nomination against Willis Booth. the "OId Guard" can- didate, is in the southern part of the state making his primary fight It is doubtful if he will see MT. Hughes at a&l" unless the nominee extends to him an invitation for a meeting, step which progressive leaders are urging.
 On the other hand the old line re- publicans, who are determined to kill off Johnson because of his atti- tude in 1912, when he left tIs repub- lican party, have warned MT. Hughes that open recognition of Johnson will dg him irreparable damage with the republicans. Their frank advice to the nominee is to keep his hands off state affairs and permit the republi- cans to conduct their affairs as they see fit. The prOgressiveS are just as outspoken in their demand that John- son shall be indOrsed by MT. Hughes and have told the nominee that such indorsement is the only sure course to victory in the state.
 All this comes on top of reports
