AGGRESSIVE Campaign Promised.

Contrary to reports, the Democratic
organization will make an aggressive
campaign in a number of Republican
States. Plans are under way for
vigorous campaign in Maine, under the
direction of Homer S. Cummings, ma
tional committeeman for Connecticut,
who is vice chairman of the commit
tee Vance Mccormick, the new chair
man of the national committee, de-
clared that any reports that the Demo-
Gratis were going to avoid Republican
States were unauthorized. He said
emphatically that the Democrats were
going to carry the fight into all states
that might be classed as in any way
doubtful, and the Democratic chieftain
looks upon Maine-once regarded as
rock-ribbed Republican state-as eX-
ceeding doubtful territory for the
Republicans.

SHOW HUGHES UNFIT
Democrats Uncover Records OF
His Public Career.
Figures as Shrewd, Able Defender Of
Big Financial nterests-Dec!ared
Ideal Candidate Of the
Money Barons.

Charles Evans Hughes will be
shown. in the campaign as the shrewd
and able defender of the financial in
terests, corporation-minded man who
is able TO disguise in high-sounding
phrases his lack of sympathy for the
plight of the average citizen who has
insufficient wealth to defend his rights
against big business, according to
dispatch from New York.
His record as governor of New York
and his other acts in public life are
being examined by eastern Democrats
who are close to the sources of infor-
nation, and it is declared that facts
will be brought into the campaign
showing him the ideal candidate of
the money barons, sincere in his sup
port of protection for the financial In
terests. but out of sympathy with the
great mass of the American people.
charge that he stirred up an &C
ademic conflict over race-track gam
bling while governor of New York In
order to distract attention from the af-
fairs of his administration will be
raised Edwin s. Harris, chairman of
the New York Democratic state com
mittee, disclosed the line of attack
that Is to be made upon the Repub-
lican nominee at a meeting Of the new
Informed Young Democratic club of
Brooklyn.
In his discussion Chairman Harris
declared that Hughes was not nomi-
mated at the Chicago convention, but
Mt meeting last winter Of the lead
ing powers In the business world,
whose profits were taken away by
the Underwood tariff law and who look
upon the enactment of federal trade
and commerce laws as personal at
tack upon themselves"
"Man, the human being, has no place
in the thoughts of Mr.. Hughes" de-
clared Mr.. Harris. "He is defender
of property rights, as his veto of the
lower gas rate bill and his disapproval
of the income tax show. The Repub-
licans hope to win by dividing the
country and deceving the rank and
file. Hughes is an adroit. shrewd re-
sourceful politician and campaigner
of unusual ability who can put more
feeling and force into sentence that
doesn't mean anything than any other
man in public life. But he was
lamentable failure as governor"
at was the Hughes administration
that made the blunder of putting $780,
100000 in the sinking fund" Chair
man Harris continued. "It was the
Hughes administration that was re-
sponsible for the unavoidable plans for
the barge canal; for the expenditure
of huge surplus in the state treas
ury, and for increasing the state pay
roll $S,0O0,000."

Republican "Patriotism."

Great grief is expressed in Repub-
iican circles over the treachery of the
Democratic house in including in the
new revenue bill! protective duties on
dyestuffs. This is n tariff principle to
which the Republicans are sworn, and
they would rather see the rising dye
industry sacrificed and be able to
make political capital of the Demo-
Gratis failure to save 1t from destruc-
ton after the war. Any pretext is
good enough for partisan fault-fnding.
The Democrats are to be damned if
they do something and damned If they
do not.

west and Undine in the northwest,
and to the Austrian cities of Trieste
In the southeast and Klagenfurt in
the north. The situation of Goritz is
a picturesque one, greatly enhanced
by the rare pleasure gardens that
have been called into being by the
winter guests. 1t is built on the left
bank of the Isonzo river. The worn
rocks of the old castle ruins of the
counts of Goritz dominate the city
from the hillside. The castle is now
used partly as barracks and partly
as an arsenal. The cathedral, built
In the fourteenth century, is another
interesting monument to the city's
past.
Where Theodoric Defeated Odoacer.
The fighting which is now occurring
on the Isonzo recalls the great battle
Of the Isontius Usonzo) in the fifth
century, where the Roman emperor
Odoacer met signal defeat at the
hands Of Theodore, the Ostrogoth.
The vanquished lender was driven
back to Ravenna, where, after a pro-
tracted siege a truce was agreed upon.
During the parley Odoacer fell before
the treacherous Ostrogoth, who Glove
his enemy from shoulder to flank with
broadsword.
One Of the most interesting natural
phenomena of the Isonzo district is
the. short Timavus river, which emp
ties into the Gulf of Trieste FIVE miles
from the mouth Of the larger water
course. The Timavus gushes from
mountainside, Uniformed, in three
streams of sufficient volume to float
small vessels Mt the very source. In
Virgil's day. according to the descrip-
ton in the Aeneid, the Timavus
rushed from the rocks In nine streams.

Pacific coast, reported to have been
the scene of an unprovoked attack
upon officers and men from the Amer
lean gunboat Annapolis, Is thus de-
scribed in the National Geographic so

marked by lighthouse perched on the
crest of an eminence called Cerro del
Crest0n, making 1t one of the Hottest
guides to navigation in the world, Ma

the richest mining sections of the
southern republic. 1t not only exports
the gold and silver from its own inn
mensely wealthy state of Sinaloa (esti-
mated by some experts to have the
most valuable mineral deposits in
Mexico) but 1t also handles the ore
shipments by sea of Zacatecas and
Durango.
The city, which has population of
10000, is situated on small peninsula
opposite the Bay of Olas Atlas (High
Waves), and is surrounded by coco
nut groves. 1t is six days voyage
by steamship from here to San Fran
cisco, the Mexican port being 225
miles east of the southern tip of Low
er California. The distance from Ell
Paso, due south, to Mazatlan Is about
the same as from st. Louis to New
Orleans.
The aspect of the territory adjacent
to MaZatlan is little affected by the
prosperity of the report. The Indians
live in the same type of huts which
they have occupied since the Spanish
conquest and perhaps for centuries be-
fore that. The strip Of lowland along
the shore has tropical climate with
an abundance of rain. Beyond this
verdant margin to the East rises the
towering, thickly wooded Sierra Madre
range, extending for hundreds of
miles to the north and south.

riven hills which find their way to the

gateway are rubber, gums, dyewoods,
silver, copper, gold, lead pearls, tor
toiseshell, sailed fish, and cabinet
woods. The city's manufacturing ac-
tivities include saw mills, cotton fac
tories and rope works.
Fourteen years ago Mazatlan was
almost depopulated by a frightful cpl
demic of bubonic plague which sur
passed in severity some of the most
terrible ravages of the "black death"
in Europe during the middle ages.
According to one authority only 1000
people out of a total of $4,000 were
spared, and more than thousand
houses were burned in an effort to
stay the march of the disease. Dur
ing the last decade sanitary condi.
tons have been improved greatly.

from the bottom the horse caught his foot in a rock

head. She flew through the air head first landing
in clump of mesquite bushes more than ten yards
away.
Spectators rushed to her side, expecting to find
her either dead seriously injured but aside from
the shock and number of scratches she escaped
unhurt. The dumb actor in the scene was less for
tunate, suffering two broken legs and had to be
shot.
This untoward incident in making the scene
caused complete revision of the scenario.

herself in every branch of athletics, besides being
a skilful driver of motor car. Miss Mccoy drives
her own machine and has used it to advantage In
many of the pictures in which she is starred. Her
