WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. l6.
The administration is ready TO
start an aggressive fight IN behalf
of the Adamson law, now object
of concerted attack by most of
the big railroads of the country.
1t was made clear today.
Belief was expressed by high
officials the efforts to enjoin he
operation of the law would fail.
II the railroads tie up the en-
forcement of the act, the workers
are expected to strike.
1t is the view of some of the
presidents advisers that the
courts would hold the railroads
responsible for the interference
with interstate commerce in such
cases and would compel them to
abide by the provisions of the act.
This belief is strengthened by
the administrations claim that
the Adamson law primarily is a
measure designed to obtain a
thorough and scientific investiga-
ton of facts on which to base
final legislation.
BY reason of the very nature
of the act, administration men are
convinced, efforts to enjoin its OPP
GRAFTON will fail.
On the other hand, 1t is
thought, 1t may be possible to en-
join interference" by the rail-
roads with interstate traffic, as
labor leaders were enioined in the
famous Pullman strike OF 20
years ago.

Hughes and California

Early in the campaign there were few out
IL spoken Republicans who admitted that, a
candidate, Mr.. Hughes a distinct disaPpon-
ment. 1t takes no great courage now for even the
most loyal parizan to agree with them. What losing
nominee ever anything else but disappointment?
The country is normally Republican. To Mr..
Hughes assigned the task of bringing back into
the party the Republicans who had boted in 1912.
under the leadership of Theodore Roosevelt. He
failed He did not even satisfy many Republicans
who though they had remained regular still held
aloha for Roosevelt American and heartily
applaudcd his. foreign policies.
AS it fell out California became the pivotal State
the only time the result of national election has
hinged on the decision of State west of the MSsis
Hughes must commit his worst ofense against Pro-
gressive sympathes
Acting it is charitable to suppose on the advice
of his national councillors, Hughes held no converse
while in California with the leaders of the Repub-
can-Progrcssive coalition He slept under the same
roof with Hiram Johnson Governor of the State and
candidate for the United States senate on both the
Republican and Progressive tickets but he never net
him, never spoke to him. never shook hands with
him.
AS result, Hiram Johnson, who is one OF the
three most effective political speakers in the country
and by many held second to none did not once aI-
pear on the platform for Hughes. That the slight
was not forgiven appeared at the polls.
Hiram Johnson could not have asked more ene,-
tacular revenge He himself was elected United
States senator by vote of more than two to one and
the same ballots that sent him to the senate excluded
Hughes from the White House

President Wilson'S
Majority Vote

TNHE supporters of the President taking
= JUNCTION unto their souls that their candidate
has received, in round numbers. mi lion more
votes than his opponent. this being hailed as a
great victory and vndcation
Well let's analyzc the figures bit.
Hughes has received seven million some hundred
thousand votes and Wilson has received eight
million some hundred thousand, the total number
Of votes cast for the two being between fifteen and
sixteen million
That is to say, Wilson has beaten Hughes by
one out of sixteen, six and quarter per cent.
This does not seem to amount to enough Of a
"vindication" to get vOcferous about even though
it were the free and untrammeed verdict Of the
whole country.
Still less is the "vindicaton" decisive in view
OF the fact that the vote of the "SOlid South" is
not verdict OF anything whatever, except that
the voters in that section know whom the Demo
cratic Convention nominated for President.
The Solid South does not approve dSappr"ve
OF principles by its votes. 1t votes foT anything
with two legs, which is tagged with the regular
Democratic nomination.
The exact number Of votes cast by the South
in 1916 is not at hand but in natural course it is
somewhat larger than in 1912, and then the Wilson
vote Just a million. Without this vote
Wilson's popular majority disappears entirely and
without the electoral vote of the South he would
not have look in" for the presidency.
