Upstate Vote Makes
Republican Victory
Sure, Says Glynn
100000 More Persons Are
Registered North Than
South of the Harlem
Majority for Whitman
Big INCREASES in Districts That
Roll Up Large Anti-Tam-
many Pluralities

outside of greater New York,
the territory in which Governor Whit
nam and the Republican managers
look for a margin that will overwhelm
the Democratic plurality expect in
the metropolis, there is a total regis
t,stion of more than 100000 voters in
excess of that registered in greater
New York.
Chairman George A. Glynn of the
Republican State Committee said yes
tcrday that this upstate registration
settled beyond question the election
Of Governor Whitman and the Rcpub-
Lean state ticket.
The number Of persons registering
for voting on Election Day said
Chairman Glynn, lis approximately
e.9l6,974. Of this number the greater
New York registration is 1,01a,305, and
that outside greater New York 1902
500.
Our canvass books, which arc be-
ginning to come in, show a great in
crease in percentage OF Republican
vote due to the registration of women.
For example: Madison County gave
Governor Whitman Approximately
1000 majority in 1916. The canvass
indicates more than 1000 majority in
ihat county this year.
"Advices | have received show that
the women registration runs from 40
TO 80 per cent Of the totals in the
different counties. i know that women
generally have responded to the regis
tration in fine style and that they
VIII vote on Election Day. And am
further convinced that at least 70 per
cent of the women will support Gov
ernor Whitman and the Republican
late ticket, as against the Democratic
tate ticket nominated by Tammany
Hall
The whole number of votes cast for
II the candidates for Governor in 1916
vas 1,715,16S, of which there were
1l3,30S in greater New York. and
.o02, 460 outside of greater New York.
"The result of the state registration
is gratifying to the Republican can.
didates and the committee. 1t shows
fnat the people are alive to what the
state election means in 191S--contin-
uance of good government at Albany,
or the return of a Tammanyizcd Dem

ingratitude Laid to Wilson
We are thus brought squarely face
TO face with an issue which this coun-
try has never before been called to
face. 1t is this: Is the country to be
governed solely by the will of the Ex
ecutive or by free and responsible leg
islative delibcration?
ut is an issue which energies at. o
most unfortunate moment 1t was
clearly coming, but no patriot would

IL IS an ungrateful return for Repub-
llcan loyalty to raise it now. There is
one, and only one, fitting answer-an
overwhelming vote for every loyal Re-
publican candidate at the coming cleo,
ton and defeat for every shuffler, no
matter to what party he belongs.
Inc evident anxiety over the results
or the coming election on the part Of
the Democratic party is not caused by
any concern over loyalty in the war.
Inc Constitution authorizes all meas
ures necessary for the prosecution OF
the war. but the choice of CONGRESS- by
che President is not one of them. This
is virtually what is demanded. 1t is
the proposal of political revolution

Mr.. Sears when asked to comment on
the Presidents appeal said that the
Whitman While Book Committee as
serted its unqualified support of the
Administration in all matters having
to do with the vigorous prosecution Of
the war toward a peace which would
involve an unconditional surrender.
The Rev. s. Edward Young pastor Of
the Bedford Presbyterian Church, Of
Brooklyn, said that the Presidents ap-
peal for Democratic Congress will in
evitably bring partisan politics to the
fore from this on.
"'To make out that one-half Of the
nation is against the complete prosecu-
