 "Dr. Gladden. says:
 With Mr. Wilson's conception Cf political duty and responsibility in a democracy am in cordial agree. ment The moderation and rational ity exhibited by him in the conduct of our national affairs were almost universally recognized by our peo- pie during the first year of the war.

which is emphasized by the fact that both political parties are send ing their big guns there.
 In other words. the drift to Will son, so noticeable in Washington state and in several of the states of the inter-mountain region, coutin- ues in the Middle West. and in the East. It is at flood tide, and with the election just two weeks away the Republicans must check it promptly if they are to have any chance of winning. The fact that this drift is so widespread merely adds to Republican difficulties.
 Women for Wilson.
 The woman question in Illinois IS most interesting. according to re- liable reports now at hand.
 A couple of weeks ago everybody in Illinois. including the Democrats. thought the state safely Republican. It was only a question of by how much. and the Republicans admit ted that Wilson was strong, thus re- ducing the normal Republican ma jority. But suddenly a marked change has come over the situation.
 The registration figures are re- sponsible for it. In Chicago alone enough women have registered so that if 60 per cent. Of them should vote for Wilson he will carry the state. There has been an unusually large registration of women in all the registration areas. and the Re publican leaders are badly fussed up about it. They don't quite know

not allow their workingmen to drink Intoxicating liquors on or off duty.
 "For example, the Cambria Steel Company and the Hershey Choco- late Company have recently gone extra dry and decreed absolute pro- hibition for their employees.
 "The outrages inflicted by these fanatics are of the most fragrant character. In February, 1914, the following notice was posted in the Berwick (Pa) plant of the American Car and Foundry Company: Work men freQuenting drinking places coming to or going from their work will be replaced by non-drlnking men as rapidly as possible. Anoth- CT blow to liberty!
 "The Philadelphia Quartz Com pany has served notice that total abstainers will receive ten per cent. more wages than those who contln- ne to exercise their personal iber- ty in patronizing the rum shop.
 philadelphia is the headquarters of one of the most dangerous pro- hibition fanatics. He is known all over the country as Connie Mack, the manager of the Athletic base ball team Of the American League.
 "He says: All the umpires to- gether haven't put as many ball players out of the game as has old Man Booze
 "Time would fail us to point out the real prohibition fanatics. They are to be found in such unexpected places
 "The trainers of prize fighters are among the worst. They will not allow any indulgence to the poor fellows they are training for the ring. They declare that total abe stinence is necessary to physical con dition and great endurance.
 "The trainers of football squads have the same perverted notion Re- gently employers in this very city have discharged men who patron ize the institution which they say must be preserved in the interest of business.

In a telegraphic letter to the Seattle Times. written at New York week ago yesterday W. W. ter mane. explaining che change in the betting odds on the Presidential election, said:
 Late in the summer the odds were 2 to on Hughes, but since then the swing has been toward Wilson. The betting odds are be- ing influenced by reports reaching this city from certain Middle West States. The upstate Republican counties of New York are also showing strong Wilson sentiment, according to nonpartisan polls now going on.
 The chief trouble Of the Middle West is iu Ohio and Illinois. These two states may be pivotal Will son has much che better chance in ohio. and if there Is not rever- sal Of form. he will carry it. IT, linois is bothered about the woman vote. which it is feared in Republi- can circles is likely to go to Wilson in undue proportions. If it should do SO. he will carry that state.

what it means, but some of them are fearful that 1t means Wilson.
 Where it has been possible in H. linois to get '1ine" on what the women are thinking, it has been dis covered that they are being moved on sentimental grounds They are saving out there that Wilson has had a hard time of 1t, that he has kept their sons and husbands out of war. and deserves another four years.
 In Colorado Also.
 The women think that way in Colorado also. which explains why the Republicans have no hope Of carrying that state. The question that naturally arises is this: Is such line Of thought confined to nnqois and Colorado? Does it not operate with equal force in other suffrage states? And if it does what becomes of the Hughes candi- dacy?
 For some time the break in Illin- ois has been with Wilson, who has been making heavy inroads into the normal majority. But the Republi- cans have thought up to this time that those inroads would stop short of giving him the state We'll maybe they will; but when disin- terested observers begin to talk about Hughes carrying Illinois by 5000 to 10000, it ought to be clear to everybody that the state is so close as to make estimates value less.
