ocratfc State Chairman Guffey has quit
claiming the State for Wilson and has
been caught wiring postmasters to get
out and hustle. The Hughes Alliance,
made up of progressives. says Penn
sylvania is strong for Hughes. Prohi-
bition State Chairman Prugh expects
big vote for Hanly.
State Chairman Crow is the only
one to give figures and the confidence
he displays is in marked contrast to
the Dragging of the Democrats the last
three months. The Republican State
ticket will win by big majorities and
Justice Wallng will be reelected.
The enrolment of voters of Penn
sylvania as compiled by w. Harry
Baker, secretary of the Republican
publican, 962,443; Democratic, 416,-
Ill; Prohibition, 17,55S; Washington,
2o,744: Socialist. 26,O6S; not enrolled,
201,257.
State Chairman Crow made this
statement on the State:
Pennsylvania will go Republican
by not less than 100000 plurality and
If weather conditions are such as to
make possible a heavy vote, the lead
OF Mr. Hughes over President Wilson
may reach even over the 800,
mark.
philadelphia will stand by the Re-
manner. 1 expect the returns from
that city will show at least 100. 600 ma
Jority. The situation in Allegheny is
such as to justify the claim of not less
than 10000 Republican majority, while
other Republican counties will main
tain the high standard for majorities
they set in past elections. SOur State
candidates will win by overwhelming
majorities, which will not fall far be-
low that given Mr. Hughes, the candi-
date for President. PENNSYLVANIA will
surely send to the next Congress g.
republican members, possibly 33, with
fighting chance for one additional.
or the 25 vacancies In the State Senate
to be filled at the coming election, the
Republicans will surely elect %, with
two doubtful and one conceded to the
Democrats. The next House at Har-
publican party by an overwhelming
majority. I base my prediction upon
estimates sent to Republican State
committee headquarters from every
county in the State. There is a pro-
nounced Hughes wave sweeping Penn
sylvania, and hourly it seems to be
gathering momentum and strength"
Governor Brumbaugh spoke at
the closing rally of the Republican
city campaign in Philadelphia on Sat-
urday night and received an ovation.
The meeting was one of the largest
held in Philadelphia in years. In ad-
dition to the Governor. Ex-Governor
Edwin s. Stuart. Governor Vessey. of
South Dakota: Mayor Smith and Con-
gressmen Ware and Graham were
speakers.
-Philander c. Knox arraigned Will
son for his failure to keep pledges and
to stand for American honor In inter-
national affairs at big closing meet
ing in Pittsburgh. Allegheny county
will give Hughes fine majority, claim
men in that section.
The Hughes Alliance of Pennsyl-
vania has issued the closing state
ment: Tomorrow thousands sof
Pennsylvania Democrats will vote for
Governor Hughes We might cite as
examples such influential Democrats
as Edwin o. Lewis. o. Hopkinson
Baird, Walter George Smith. r. Loper
Baird. Francis Ralston Welsh. William
A. Law and many others. Moreover.
the Progressives of Pennsylvania, led
by such men as Clifford Pinchot. Will
liam Draper Lewis, Richard r. Quay,
II. d. w. English and others, are
solidly with Hughes. In addition the
rank and file of so-called independ-
ents,' including such leaders as J. Ben
iamin Dimmick. Lewis Emory, Jr., and
others. are working hard for Hughes.
Having conducted an aggressive cam
paign in every county of the State, the
Hughes Alliance in this State rests it's
case in the most sanguine expectation
of Republican vote that will place
solid delegation of thirty-seven men,
hers from Pennsylvania in the next
electoral college,"

forth by Democratic congressman from
the South, and that they have been
moro amused than concerned with
Democratic efforts to win their sup
port. He asserted Pennsylvania work

States.

publican majority in this usually
Democratic region next Tuesday" said
r. Clinton Kline. who is candidate
for Congress on the Republican ticket,
as he arrived at his home in Sunbury
from g strenuous campaign In various
portions of the Sixteenth district. "In
fact" continued Mr.. Kline. "the entire
G.. o. P. ticket will win out. 1 have
been assured of the fact after q most
careful canvass. The change in senti-
ment for the success of Hughes in Co.
lumbia, Sullivan, Montour and North
umberland counties is most gratifying,
and the Republican majority will be
large"
John Wanamaker's denunciation
of the orders of State Chairman Cuff
fey to postmasters to work for Wilson
does not get much notice in Demo-
cratic newspapers. Suppose the shoe
had been on the other foot.
George d. Herbert. candidate of
the Democratic voters but not of the
bosses for senator, is again running
neck and neck with the candidate of
the Democratic bosses but not OF the
Democratic voters for publicity in the
Democratic national chairman's news
paper.
