PREDICTS HUGHES
WILL WIN EASILY
Ticket to Have More Than 800
Votes in Electoral College
Is Claim

Washington, D. c.. Sept. %. - AS
serting that the Republican presiden-
tial nominee will receive more than
500 votes in the electoral college. the
Republican Publicity Association, in a
statement, predicts that Hughes and
Fairbanks will be swept into Office by
q greater majority than was at first
conceded by the most optimistic party
leaders. Basing it's claim on an analy-
sis of the Maine vote. the statement
says:
Following the forecast of the cleo
toral vote which this association issued
some weeks ago and which was based
upon the vote cast for members of
Congress in 1914. the figures from the
recent election in Maine afford con-
elusive ground for claiming the cleo
ton of Hughes and Fairbanks with
more than 500 votes in the electoral
college, a majority of which is only
266.
''It makes no difference what angle
of approach is employed. The Maine
election points convincingly to Repub-
lican victory in November.
Heavy Vote This Year
THE total vote of Maine (Repub-
1ican and Democratic) this year is
14s,297, for Governor. In 1912 for the
same office, when there was no Pro-
gressive candidate and both elements

'The President called for a confer
ence OF Mexican factions to establish
de facto government, but said he
would not recognize the leader of any
faction that failed to attend. Carran-
"a was the only leader that refused
to>pay attention to the conference and
President Wilson recognized him.
THE President has reiterated and
his mouthpieces have asserted so often
that he is entitled to the credit of
keeping us out Of the European war
that many persons accept the state
ments as true. Nothing. can involve us

SO called" said Mr.. Fess. lis misnamed
and its title is totally misleading. This
law is not statute fixing the hours of
labor, but 1t is an increased wage grab.
This measure was born in fright, faith
cred by fear, Graded in partisan poll
tics and carried through the final ac-
uon under duress. l do not believe the
history of legislation furnishes a du-
plicate of such action. This in my
judgment was the high-water mark of
national humiliation. if not degrada-
tion, as one member put it, as we'll as
the low-water mark of national honor
and dignity. The increase of wages
may be warranted, do not know;
neither did any of us know.
This Congress is not different from
the Sixty-third Congress, which took
the first step of a series of which this
panicky act is but the third step. The
first was when Congress obeyed the
demands of certain leaders to exempt
labor unions from the operation of
the Sherman antitrust law. Then
came the second step, the Clayton bill,
Which wrote into statute law the legal
exemption of certain classes of citi-
zens-to be specific, labor unions
from the operation of antitrust laws.
Here by law we declare that certain
classes are free to do acts which if
done by others would be criminal. In
a panic in the face of threat to stop
all transportation unless certain con-
ditions are met by certain time this
Congress, the legislative body of 100,-
100000 American freemen, legislates
upon doubtful constitutional ques-
tion, offers remedy to. avert threat
ened danger that may prove worse
than the disease.
The abandonment of arbitration
when taken by the head of our govern
ment in an official command to the
Congress sets a precedent against the
best possible method of settling labor
disputes from which we will not re-
cover soon.
1.-TWO Acts of War; on Mexico
Claims that President Wilson has
kept us out of war are so untrue that
it is amusing to those who know the
facts, decalred Representative Charles
f. Curry, of California, to-day.
President Wilson committed two
acts of war against Mexico. One pun
itive expedition far for the avowed
purpose of compelling Huerta to fire
a salute of twenty-one guns to our flag.

Mexicans were killed at Vera Cruz, the
supply of note paper at the White
House was exhausted, but the salute
was not fired. The second punitive

1894 Calder's Majority
With AZ Districts Out

New York, Sept. 22.-If any doubt
existed whether or not William M.
Calder was chosen the Republican
nominee for the United States Senate,
it was eliminated yesterday by the late
primary returns. According to the
figures from all but forty-seven cleo
ton districts in the state. Mr.. Calder's
majority was 1894. AS theTreturns
yesterday swelled Mr.. Calder's ma
jority. it is considered likely that the
total of his vote over that for Robert
Bacon will be just about 10. 900.
The total vote, with the forty-seven
districts missing, was: Calder, ,379;
Bacon, 142,445. In most counties from
which full returns have not been OBJ
taincd Calder led.
Mr.. Bacon yesterday visited Repub-
lican national headquarters and ex-
pressed to Chairman Wilcox his will
ingness to do anything possible to aid
the campaign work. Mr.. Wilcox said
he most certainly would take advan-
tage of Mr.. Bacon's offer.

of Republicanism were working to-
gether as they did this year. the total
vote was 138.791. Governor Plaisted,
a Democrat, was then seeking re-elec-
ton just as Governor Curtis was this
year. He received 67.74S votes, as
against 71.043 cast for William T..
Haines. who was elected.
The plurality of the united Repub-
licans of Maine in 1912 was 1895.
This year 1t is 13,607 whereas the In
crease in the total vote is 9.506--this
years plurality being 706 larger than
the increase in the total vote plus the
plurality of four years ago. In this
connection it is interesting to note that
Governor Plaisted, when seeking re-
election in 1912, received 67,74S votes,
Trip to the polls, got only 67,395.
I'm other words. the Democratic vote
of Maine is stationary, while the Re-
publican vote has increased more than
16 per cent. over that of 1912-even
though that earlier vote contained the
strength of both elements of the party.
Forecast of $40 Votes
Applying this percentage to the
vote of 1912 in the several States of
the Union. it means that Hughes and
FAIRBANKS will carry not only the
states which gave a clear Republican
plurality in the congressional vote of
two years ago. but will gain, in addi-
ton, Arizona. Indiana, Kansas, Ken
lucky. Maine. Maryland. Montana. Ne
braska, Ohio and Tennessee-and will
have 349 votes in the electoral college
to Wilson and MarshaP's 142.
Comparing this years vote for Gov
ernor in Maine with that of two years
ago as cast for members of Congress,
We find that the Republican strength
has increased 34.12 per cent. while the
Democratic strength has gained only
11.06 per cent. Two years ago there
were 60,6SS votes cast for Democratic
candidates for Congress in Maine, the
Republicans having 60.31S and the
Progressives 1883.
This year a Republican governor
elect gets S0,902 to his Democratic op-
ponent's 67,395, showing the Repub-
lican strength to be 2,626 more than
the combined vote of the Republicans
and Progressives in 1914. OF the total
gain registered the Republicans have
taken S0.4 per cent: the Democrats
have only 1875 per cent.
Assuming this percentage to repre-
sent the division of the former Pro-
eressive vote between the two parties,
and applying it to the vote of the other
states as cast either two or four years
ago. our Democratic friends are again
confronted with the loss of the cleo
toral college by wide margin.
THE issues upon which the Presi-
dent has chosen to go to the country
were vigorously presented in Maine by
five members of his Cabinet and by
senator's, congressman, Federal officials
of all grades and spellbinders of every
degree. The peace and the pros
perity' which we are told are ours and
which, we are assured. comes from
Mr.. Wilson's benevolent hand, were
eloquently depicted in every city, every
village, every crossroads even, in
Maine-and Maine has registered her
opinion of that peace and of that
prosperity Her opinion is also that
of 'watchful waiting will demon
strate it,"
