WOMEN PREDICT
WILSON'S DEFEAT
Conference Decision Fore
shadows Loss of West
ern Vote.
[Frcm q star corrrspndsns Of ms Tribunal

lFrcm q star C0rrespondnt OF lhs ArlO"'''
Washington, Aug. 13.-That the ma
tional political situation would be
greatly affected by the decision OF the
Woman's party at Colorado Springs TO
oppose President Wilson in every way
possible was the contention Of officials
here to-day at the headquarters OF the
Congressional Union and the Woman's
party.
"The decision Of the conference at
Colorado Springs TO defeat the Demo-
cratic party will receive the moral and
financial support Of women throughout
the entire country" said Miss Lucy
Burns, vice-chairman of the national
organization.
1t was pointed out that without win
ming the votes of the women in the
West Mr. Wilson'S defeat Seemed in
evitable," and that the campaign tour
he is planning through the West
showed his own acceptance Of that fact.
To counterfeit the loss OF Ohio, for
instance, which, to judge from indlca-
tons at the primaries, will go with
its twenty-four electoral votes to the
Republicans, the Democrats would have
to win California, with its thirteen
electoral votes; Nevada, with three;
Colorado. with six, and Arizona, with
three. Representatives Of the Wom-
ans party declare that this they can
never do.
1.-TWO Of the twelve suffrage states,
Illinois and Kansas, are almost sure
to go Republican" said Miss Burns.
an Arizona the Democratic party is
split. Both Republicans and Democrats
are claiming California, with the
stronger claim on the side of the Re-
publicans. In Colorado the Progressive
party seems TO be thing of the past;
in Idaho it is dissolved. In Kansas,
also, the Progressives and Republicans
are practically one again.
"In Montana there is great dissatis-
faction over the proposed Democratic
tax on copper. There has been heavy
Republican registration in Nevada, ow-
ing TO the dissatisfaction over the Ad-
ministration's attitude on Federal suf-
frage Oregon and Washington are
expected to go Republican, since the
Democratic tariff has been seriously
felt by the lumber industry there.
Utah 3 considered safe for the Re-
publicans. In Wyoming the Progress
sives and Republicans have joined
hands"

ton when brought TO the hospital,
but showed immediate improvement
after the use of the serum. DR..
Bennett has also treated Dorothy Holk

from the veins Of their parents. These
children also have shown improvement.

THE CANDIDATES..

The present condition in Iowa as to
the policies of the two candidates for
governor is queer one. Harding the
republican nominee, is recognized as
a wet, while Meredith, the democratic
candidate, is a staunch prohibitionist.
This makes a situation that is ex-
tremely distasteful to many repub-
licans. Always in the past the repub-
lican party has stood for prohibition
and the democrats have been on the
other side. Now we have the spec
tacle of party that has been fighting
for prohibition being headed by a
man who is not in sympathy with
that cause. On the other hand the
democrats are being led by man
who has the former republican prin-
ciples at heart, so far as the liquor
question goes. 1t is peculiar situa-
ton and one that will mean many
thousands of scratched ballots on
both sides.

LAST RITES FOR THE BULL
MOOSE.

It is semi-otticially announced at
OYSTER Bay that Mr.. Roosevelt's for
NAL address to the national progress
siye committee, which meets next
Monday. will urge the disarmament
of the party.
For man who usually is up-to-
date or a little ahead OF date, this
must be regarded as a strange pro-
ceeding. The progressive party dis
banded in Chicago on the 10th of
June last when at the close of its
convention it found itself without a
loyal leadership, without a candidate
and without distinctive principle.
The fate which thus overlook it
was not accidental. Everything had
been prearranged Unless Mr.. Roose-
Welt could gain the regular nomina-
ton he had no stomach for the fight,
and, what is quite as important, Mr..
Perkins and others had no cash for
the fight. There was much that was
heroic in The membership of the pro-
gressive convention, but it's leader
ship was the most equivOcal ever seen
in politics.
Whatever forms and ceremonies OF
disarmament may be engaged in next
Monday will be as empty as the par
tvs campaign chest, as dubious as it's
blue-pencilled platform, and as blank
as it's presidential ticket. There will
be a CHASTITY pretense of denvering
the remnants of once militant par
ty into the hands of Crane, Smoot,
Penrose and Cannon, but host scat
tered and in flight after betrayal will
hardly respond.-New York world.

BELITTLING MEREDITH.

AS friend of Mr.. Meredith's, but
not yet as supporter, the Record re-
iterates it's regret that the Cedar Rap
ids Republican should endeavOr to
belittle Mr.. Meredith by stating that
he was politician who could change
position rapidly to catch few votes.
Such a statement was made in an is
sue of the Republican published in
the latter part of the week before
last.
The fact is Mr.. Meredith is boos-
ter of the Billy Haskell type. He is a
boosterwho has spent large amount
of money and much time boosting
Iowa in ways that could bring him no
returns not brought to all other
Iowans. He has also spent large
sums of money in boosting his own
business in such way that many 9TH
er business men were benefited. AS
two years ago he ran special train
from New York City to Des Moines
and return. The train brought large
manufacturers and advertising men
from the east. They were brought to
show them the greatness of Iowa.
They were shown Iowa farms, Iowa
crops, the state college at Ames, and
the plant of Successful Farming. The
primary purpose of this train was to
interest them in Successful Farming
by showing them the greatness of the
territory it covered. The train was
estimated to have cost 100000, and
it has probably paid for itself already
in increased profits of Mr.. Meredith's
farm paper. But the fact remains
that it gave eastern men of promi-
nence an altogether new idea of Iowa
and it's resources. The writer knows
this because he has talked with some
of the men who made the trip, about
it. They expressed themselves as
having been simply astounded at
what they learned And this other
fact remains: every publication of
Importance in Iowa, including the Re-
publican, received direct financial re-
turns from Mr.. Meredith's work Ind
money by reason of increased ADJ er-t
The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1916-06-29

The Grundy Democrat says: when
Meredith announced at the time he
consented to become candidate for
governor that he would run as dry
candidate or not at all, he knew that
he was driving the votes of the wet
democrats from him. If Meredith
hadn't got on an out-and-out dry
platform before the primary, Harding
would not have received as big a
majority. If the democratic candidate
for governor had been neutral with
wet leanings the vets would not have
been organized so strongly in favor OF
Hardings nomination. Harding was
the only candidate among the entire
lot who suited them.
The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1916-06-29

Using campaigns covering Iowa.
Such a man deserves nothing but
the very best treatment. Men may
not agree with him on principles,
and may not vote for him, but that
is not sufficient reason for any man
belittling him unfairly.
And lastly, as the preacher says, ii
the Republican objects to Mr.. Mere
dith because he is a politician why
should it not object more to .lr. Har-
ding, who mas been politician at
least ten times as long as Mr.. Mere
dith.-Mt. Vernon Record.
