Voters to Approve or DlsapprOva
Of Wilson and Administration.
TWO MEN ARE ON TRIAL.
Politicians Seize Every Straw Upon
Which TO Build an Argument, but In
the End These Statements and Die
cussions Will Amount 20 Little.
Sherman Talks of Bull Moose.

Washington. Aug. 24-lSpecial. -
Every little thing as well as every big
thing is seized upon as a political issue
this year. Both parties are trying 10
make political capital out of every
thing that can be made an Issue.
In a political contest where the cleo
ton may be determined by a narrow
margin the political managers use
every incident which may influence
votes in their favor In the hope that
votes so obtained will mean the cleo
tion of their candidate.
But after all that Is said and lone
about the minor questions Ii Is the
bigger questions which must determine
the result. The political parties and
the men who are candidates are on
trial. The people are going to judge
between Wilson and Hughes and be
tween the Democratic and Republican
parties.
One Issue at a Time.
A group OF men were discussing the
various questions which might iniu-
ence voters I'm the coming election.
Mention was made of the impending
railroad strike. woman suffrage and
various bills that have passed and are
pending I'm congress.
1.-The American people settle but one
issue at n time" remarked Senator
Swanson of Virginia. This campaign
is going to be decided ON whether OF
not the people approve of Wilson and
his administration and not on any OF
the minor or side issues which have
been brought forward"
And quite n number of men who
heard that remark thought he had stat
ed the situation In terse language.
Parties Are Bidding.
In n rather rambling disquisition
Senator Sherman of Illinois made quite
interesting political speech. He said:
Just ut this writing both parties
want all the votes they a get. They
have been bidding for woman suffrage.

think somebody Is liable TO obtain a
bad bargain-that there may be a ques-
ton OF furnishing goods under false
pretenses. Most of the voters OF that
defunct organization will return to the
parties with which they formerly af-
fliated."
Left to Senator Lewis.
Senator Smoot was calling attention
to a change of the presidents mind In
regard to commissions. The senator
quoted from a 1912 speech In which
Wilson said that he would not have
any commissions playing Providence
to me-"
Playing what?" asked Gallinger.
Playing Providence II me- again
quoted Smoot.
What did he mean by that?' asked
the New Hampshire senator.
II will leave that to the senator
from Illinois to explain" replied Smoot.
"He hes recently taken upon himself
to explain the real meaning of state
menus hiduc w the picslucHt anu what
was In the presidents mind while max
ing them"
Thus does James Hamilton Lewis
get credit for being a presidential
mouthpiece.

war SUMMARY
PROGRESS OF CONDITIONS AS
COMPILED By THE ASSO-
GATED PRESS.

New York, Aug. Especial: The
great offensive opened by the allies
Sunday on the Saloniki front is de
veloping, but no decisive action has
been fought. The British and French
advancing on the right. have crossed
the Struma, pushing northeastward
toward the Bulgarian frontier. AT
the same time the Serbians who have
opened a drive for Monastir. report
the capture of Bulgarian first line
trenches. On the extreme left, how
ever, Immediately south of Monastir,
they have suffered a reverse and
have evacuated the Greek town of
Banica.
In the center, at the mouth of the
great valley of the Vardar, the main
highway through Serbia, violent ar
tillery action is in progress. II was
down this valley that the Teuton-
Bulgarian forces made their victori-
Gus advance and, according TO mill
tary experts, its possession is vital
to whoever holds Serbia.
Reports from Saloniki say that
Italian troops have landed there aud
will join in the general offensive.
This, If corroborated, means that
Italy has decided formally to declare
war on Germany, as the Germans are
admittedly directing the Bulgarian
campaign. AT certain points on the
front, Berlin reports the Bulgarians
on tho offensive, but London and
Paris interpret this move as a move
for political purposes and not as a
serious attack against Saloniki. A
desire to affect public opinion in lsn-
mania and to influence the approach
ing Greek elections is the motive be-
hind Bulgaria's aggressive action. in
the opinion Of the allied capitals.
Fierce fighting continues in the re-
gion of the Stokhod on the eastern
front, where the Russian advance
menace Kovel and the German sail
ent at Pinsk. The battle on the
crest of the Carpathians also RACES,
both sides claiming minor successes.
