Basis for Their Claims.

The figures on which they base their
claims have fine appearance from
republican angle. For instance. in Cali
fornia the primaries showed 3o7.7sS
and only 1880 democrats. The Maine
election, in which 1902 republicans
voted against 66,647 democrats, after
the administration had sent up nearly
every leader in its army, Is still being
used by the republican forecasters as
an indication of the trend OF the ma
ton.
The democrats made the support OF
the President the prime ISSUE, said
Chairman Wilcox.
The results of primaries in Massa-
chusetts and New Jersey are being
used by the republican managers as
indications Of Hughes success In
each of these states there was a ngnt
in the democratic party. and IN each
fight one side was supported by the
administration. In each fight the
administration candidate was defeat
ed and the total democratic ngures
claim New Jersey, the Presldents own
state, without a struggle.
Senator MARITIME was opposed by the
administration candidate, Judge West
colt, who delivered the nominating
speech for President Wilson at Doth
conventions Judge Westcott had the
support Of the administration, but lost
by 10000 votes in a fight which at.
tracted the attention of politicians all
over the country. Each of the repuo-
lican candidates polled more votes than
MARITIME and Westcott combined. In
Massachusetts,, in the gubernatorial
primary, the republican vote was 1l5.-
242 for Mccall, who was unopposed'
and 81. .o52 between the democratic can
didates.

Claims for Western States.

In spite of sweeping claims for the
western states made by the democrats,
the republican headquarters in New
York offers more primary figures to
claim the west for Hughes. Democrats
who are chortling over the claim that
Washington will go democratic are
confronted with figures showing 1S6,0oo
republicans in the primaries and only
29,s00 in the democratic.
"Wisconsin. Michigan, Illinois, Kan
sas and Ohio have all given the same
kind of indication" said Mr.. WILCOX
Democrats have only recently begun TO
claim Kansas, but in vague way. The
republicans claim it by virtue of pri-
mary votes on the ground that nearly
10000 republican votes were cast IN
the primaries to less than 10000 demo-
cratic votes.
In Michigan 2s4.64o votes were cast
in the republican primaries and only
1885 in the democratic. In Illinois
420,959 republicans voted in the pri-
maries, against 238,509 democrats. In
Ohio 2S2,470 republicans voted in the
primaries, against 1s9.343 democrats.
In Wisconsin s3,072 republicans voted
in the primaries, and only 39,601 demo-
Gratis.
Republican managers claim that Will
son cannot win without New York. but
that Hughes can, and say that New
York is surely republican. The prima-
ries indicated republican majority, as
the G. O. P. brought out 29S,000 voters
and the democrats $4,000.

A statement concerning other states.
made by Mr.. Wilcox, says:
Down in Maryland a similar indi-
cation has been given at the registra-
ton, where intending voters express
their party Affiliations for the ensuin <
year. In this registration the demo-
Gratis have lost more than 1000 and
the republicans have gained more than
= 900, making net change Of more
than 5000. or considerably more than
enough to overcome the democratic
majority at the last election.
THE democrats hzsc been entertain

about the possibility Of their carrying
Pennsylvania. We are just in receipt of
the fiea Of the enrolment in Phila-
delpE1a, which shows 242543 voters en-
rolled as republicans and only 35,679 as
democrats.
These figures are incontestable.
They show beyond possibility of ques-
ton how utterly preposterous has been
the rainbow chasing of the democratic
managers. Their claims that President
Wilson is going to carry half of the
northern states, including Pennsyl-
vania, Michigan. Wisconsin and several
more, are not entitled to any considera-
ton. They are nothing but the vapor-
ings Of a lot Of anxious politicians who
don't know where they are at

Republicans Say So-CaIled
Hughes Slump Does Not
Actually Exist.
WILL GET OUT THE VOTERS

In the midst Of what all political
sharps are now calling the Hughes
slump" the managers of the republican
campaign have compiled figures from
the registrations in various states
which form the basis of predictions Of
victory. The Hughes slump" is prob
ably the most interesting psychological
feature of the present campaign. for
the reason that it may not actually ex-
ist 1t is being used, however. by the
republican campaign managers to stir
their workers to redoubled efforts to
bring out votes and campaign contrtbu-
tions.
There is clear evidence that Hughes
will win," said Chairman Wilcox of the
republican national committee. when
the compilation of registration figures
had been given to him.
IN none of the states outside OF the
solid south where a primary election
has been held this year has the demo-
cratic vote come within hailing dis
tance Of the republican vote.
Republican managers. with the hs-
ures from the registrations before them,
are therefore heartily cheered and pay
little attention in public. at least to
the Hughes slump.

of the play is laid in the South, and Miss
Clark and her supporting company, un-
der the direction of Searle Dawley,
were sent to Savannah, Ga, where a
camera man cannot take a picture in any
direction without hitting a typically
Southern scene.

A Sad Experience.
My own experiences of lending
have been as bitter. l believe it is as
much of mistake to give too freely
as not to give at all. One little Incl

l. loaned some money to one of the
girls in our company whose finances
had ebbed through many misfortunes.
We were always very close and /
called her my best friend. When her
hour of trial came, / was only too
happy to offer my paltry dollars to
help her over. Soon after she left the
city, and from her letters nothing
dawned any brighter for her. She al
ways hurt me by referring to my loan,
expressing at length her desire to be
able to repay me, and after a while
the letters ceased.
She has never been in a position
to return the loan, which means so
little to me, but it is a wound to a
loving heart to feel this could sepa-
rate and destroy our friendship. l
have tried often to find her, but she
avoids me, ashamed to face me, when
