N
w f.. Hughes has embarked on
Jews presented in his speech of ac-
1 transcontinental trip which VIII
determine largely his chances for
the presidency Not only will he
make addresses in expansion of the
ceptance, but he will seek to iron
out differences in the Republican
organization and to weld into that
organization the Progressives who
lre hanging in the balance.
That Mr., Hughes will have his
work cut out for him is recognized
even by the Republican leaders in
Washington. He will speak in De-
troit on Monday in Chicago on
Tuesday, in Minnesota on Wednes-
day and in North Dakota on Thurs
day.
There are some knotty problems
in Michigan in connection with the
attitude of small number of Pro-
gressives, but confidence is expressed
that this state will continue in the
Republican column. Michigan also
will elect United States senator,
and Senator Townsend's friends are
confident that he will be returned.
Good Feeling in Illinois.
In Illinois, as result of the direct
interference of Mr.. Hughes, a better
feeling prevails as between the old
guard Republicans and the Progress
sives. This state is receiving the
especial attention of both parties.
The Republican leaders count it
surely for Hughes. but the Demo-
Gratis believe they have good fight
ing chance, and they propose to ex-
haust every effort to carry il for
Wilson. The president, during the
campaign. will make speeches in
Chicago and other Illinois cities.
There is little doubt Minnesota
will go Republican. The Progress
sives virtually have amalgamated
with the Republicans, and the Dem
ocrats do not intend to spend much
time or money on this state. Min
nesota will elect a Republican SEN
ator and the chances are described
as two to one in favor of Frank b.
Kellogg the Republican primary
candidate, who has the support Of
Mr.. Hughes and fromer Presidents
Roosevelt and Taft.
VIII Speak in North Dakota.
SO certain were Mr. Hughes man
ayers of carrying North Dakota that
they contemplated having their can
didate jump from Minneapolis to
Spokane, Wash. This was represented
to be inadvisable and Mr.. Hughes will
speak at Grand Forks and Fargo and
also at three points in Montana
There are two tickets only in each
of these states. In North Dakota the
NOnpartisan Farmers league indorsed
the state ticket selected by primary
and the candidates on that ticket as
sembled and agreed unanimously to
support the Republican ticket from
top to bottom. President Wilson got
the electoral vote of North Dakota
in 1912, but il is declared he cannot
possibly do so in November, because
the Progressive party has been elmi-
mated.
There is a possibility of trouble
with the Nonpartisan league, several
of the managers of which are in
clined to support Mr.. Wilson. But if
they should come out for the presi
dent, IL is asserted most OF the mem
bers of the organization would stand
by the Republican candidates. The
Republicans are confident Senator
McCumber will be reelected 2 to 1.
Dixon Out for Senate.
In Montana, Joseph NJ. Dixon. who
was the campaign manager for
Colonel Roosevelt in 1912. will be the
Republican candidate for United
States senator. Mr.. Hughes will
speak. of course. in support of the
by Colonel Roosevelt, this state,
which is strongly pro- Roosevelt, is
counted as safe by the Republicans
IL would seem the Pacific slope
states would be certain to vote for
Mr. Hughes. The Democratic tariff
struck at the industries of those
states and they have other causes
for i'll feeling against the administra-
tion.
Reports of dssension between the
Progressives and Republicans have
reached Mr.. Hughes and unless har-
mony should be established it Is ad-
mitted that Washington, Oregon and
California may go Democratic. In
Washington and oregon some former
Progressive leaders have established
indeI3ndent leagues, which are in
confidence with the Democrats.
California Is Dangerous.
Senator Poindexter Is a candidate
for re- election from Washington. He
has performed able service in the up
per house of congress-: has been true
10 the Interests of his state and the
nation. and always has voted right
But Mr. Poindcxter joined the Pro-
gressive ranks in 1912. and now has
returned to the Republican party.
There is an exceedingly dangerous
condition for the Republicans In Cali
fornia. and Mr.. Hughes must display
exceeding tact and judgment in order
to assure the electoral vote Of the
state for his candidacy. Under nor
NAL conditions the Republicans would
carry the state by one hundred thous-
and majority. but the conduct of the
