terests of the Hughes men but against any democrat who may be in the run ming.
 Hardly two months intervene until the battle of ballots takes place and it must be seen, according to the best in formation to be had, and as every good business man knows, running Il rOliti cal campaign is an expensive propOsi- ton.
 To show how many sections of the country are responding to the call for financial aid, not only from a demo- cratic but republican standpoint, it became known here today that the re- publicans are about to spend a tOnsid- erable amount of money in the rock ribbed democratic state of Florida in the interests, they say, of the general cause.' In other words, they know that unless they have money they can no more conduct a successful cam paign than an engine may run from New York to Chicago without steam.
 The G. o. P. leaders do not really hope or expect to do much in Florida with the money they are going to spend there, but it is for a stimulating purpose, it is supposed, that this far southern state is to see a portion of

New York city received something like $15, 900 in contributions and not one of these contributions was for an amount more than $10O. This is very significant and shows that it is not the big financial interests, the money kings and big business which are putting up the coin and meeting the expenses of the present campaign but the ordinary every day worker. The statement was also made that every cent that is sent in to headQua rters just lightens the burdens of the iran- agcrS to that extent. It is recognized, and none denies it, that possibly nev- CT before in the history of the demo- cratic party, is the party being so bit terly fought as in the present cam paign. The straightout republican forces are pulling with might and main for Candidate Hughes while Col
 Roosevelt is urging every progressive voter in the country to vote for one of the men opposing the dencratic candidate, but to be sure he votes against @ democrat.

 Inasmuch as there are eight coun- ties in the state, and seven presiden- tial electors are to be selected, this matter, having by a vote of the con- vention Tuesday been left with the state committee, this latter body de- cided to eliminate representation of Fairfield county in the selection of these electors, because it had secured representation on the state and na- tional tickets, and give each of the other seven counties representation in the electors The name of Simeon F. Baldwin of New Haven will be the first selection. Other names mentioned were James F. Connery of Middletown, and Raymond Jodoin of Putnam. It was voted to appoint the chairman, secretary and two members to be chosen by the chairman to comprise a subcommittee to suggest names to the next meeting of the committee, which will be held Tuesday. The committee decided to hold weekly meeting every Tuesday chiefly in this city but probably occasionally else where, until the conclusion of the campaign.

THE PRESIDENTS VICTORY.

The AdamSon measure, which
has lust passed both houses of
congress and been signed by the
president. is the elimination of
one of The most brilliant sue.
ccsscs that the president has
achieved since he has occupied
the chair. Faced with a threat
cncd strike of the railroad men,
which would tie up all the rail
roads of the country, and so stag
nate business that il would cause
the loss Of hundreds of millions
Of dollars worth of property in
even short time. the presi-
dent set 10 work with all the en-
crgv ana talent of which he was
capable to influence the union
and EMPLOYERS 10 come to terms.
Failing in this, he secured the
passage Of this measure, ana the
crisis is at least postponed, and
with it to be postponed means a
fair chance Of settlement on some
permanent basis without the
losses that strike causes.
While we give to Mr.. Adamson
and the other members of con.
grcss who were instrumental in
securing the passage of the bill
all due credit, it was the guild
ing hand Of the president that
brought about ultimate success.
Whether the measure is uncon.
stitutional or not will he decid-
ed 10y the courts, as we under
stand the railroads will contest
its validity before them; but even
if it should he held uncOnstitu.
tional, the important thing is it
prevents the strike now and will
allow time for intelligent inveS'
tigation which must be made he.
fore the question can be settled
on a permanent basis.
The longer the president serves
the more he demonstrates his
ability to handle even the most
difficult problems of the nation
in a way that few men could.
Verify, if any president ever dc.
served reelection because of mis-
service to his country, President
Wilson does.

very thing if he could. He then
proceeds to tell of the proposition
made by Editor Andrew Garter

THE STRIKE SITUATION

The strike situation seems bet.
ter now than at any time for the
last few weeks. The belief now
is in all quarters that the strike
will be avrrtcd for the time be
ing. at least, and all recognize
that with temporary relief will
come gravcr consideration and n
final settlement on lines that eco
monte conditions will justify.
The brothcrhoods agree to ac-
ccpt the Adamson measure.
which is before congress, and MP.
on its passage the strike will be
called off.
It is contended by some, how
ever, that the Adamson measure
really has the effect to fix wages,
and in the face of two recent de-
cisions Of the supreme court Of
the United States TO the effect
that congress has not the power
to fix wages, it would seem that
there is some merit in this con-
tention.
BE il constitutional or uncOu.
stitutional, the passage of the
Adamson measure will postpone
Il nation wide strike that would
be disastrous to business. and
with its postponcment will come
the increased chance Of a final
settlement Of the dispute with
out a strike.
The successful termination of
the negotiations i'm this way will
be due in the main part to the
efforts Of President Wilson. He
proves each day his ability as a
leader and his wOrthiness Of re.
election to the office he now
holds.

Miami is serious, while the con.
Guiding paragraph is sensible;
"The following are the popula-

Some have thought that the
Deutschland's cargo of dye stuffs
would relieve the dye stuff famine
here. Conservative estimates now
place the amount brought over at
100 tons, and since the annual
consumption in this country is
between 10000 and $4,000 tons.
it will therefore be seen that the

Recorder tells the following sto.
ry as illustrative of this fact:

igal son. He described in detail
the foolish boys extravaganza
and dissipation; his penury and
his husk eating with the swine
he told of his return, his fathers
loving welcome, and the prepare.
ton of the fatted calf.
The preacher in his discourse
noticed a COW hoy staring at him
very hard. He thought he had
made a convert, and addressing
the COW boy personally he sad
from the pulpit "My dear friend,
what would YOU have done if YOU
had had a son returning home
like that?'
