"Of course" chimed Dubuc, a little
indignant at the imputatlon that ne

Hughie Jennings.
In campaigning for Wilson the Geor-

Republican Committeeman
Sees Safe Margin in
California.

Anew York is safe for Hughes was
the word brought yesterday by Harold
G. Aron, secretary Of the New York
States Hughes Alliance. who returned
from a tour Of twelve counties, where
he had been forming auxiliaries Of the
alliance.
The last two weeks have shown a
marked increase OF enthusiasm for the
Hughes candidacy" he said The
alliance is bringing together Republi-
cans and men who left the party four
years ago TO follow Roosevelt and the
Progressives."
Herbert Parsons, Republican ma
tionag committeeman from New York.
said yesterday that il Vance McCor-
mick, chairman Of the Democratic Ma
tional committee, finds 50 much comfort
for the Democrats in the victory Of
Governor Johnson in the California pri-
mares and does all his political fgur-
ing on the same basis, he is in for a
series Of shocking disappointments in
November.
Mccormick Due for Shock.
"Ths assumption that the 27l,seo Re-
publicans who voted against Johnson
in the election two years ago, or the
1882 who voted against him in the
primaries this year. are going TO carry
their opposition 70 the polls next No
vember is preposterous nonsense" he
said, There is undoubtedly some
feeling in California, and small por-
ton of the vote may decline 20 go 10
the polls. but the very great part OF it
is the strict party vote that opposed the
Governor two years ago, because he
was on another ticket and that will
support him this year because he IS on
the Republican ticket.
NO matter how you read the Cali
forna figures they forete.l the victory
Of Mr.. Hughes and Governor Johnson.
II you take the Senatorial vote two
years ago instead Of the Gubernatorial
vote the result is the same Mr. Phelan.
the Democrat who was elected, p0lled
279,s96. His nearest opponent was Mr..
Heney, who was then running on the
Progressive ticket. Heney polled 255,-
232. Mr. Knowland. on the Republican
ticket, polled 254,l59. Governor John
son beat Mr. Phelan BY ls0,599.
