STOKES GIVES NJ. J. TO
HARDING BY 100000
Tide So Strong He Breaks
Precedents by Predicting.

TRENTON. Oct 30.-Harding and Coo
lidge will carry New Jersey by from 1907
600 to 125, 900, according 10 former Gov.
Stokes.
II do not often MAKE predictions" said
Mr. Stokes, but the tide seems to be
strong this year that an advance state
ment can scarcely be called prophecy.
1.-The league issue has greatly helped
the Republicans. While the people are
in favor Of brotherhood of nations for
world peace and for world peace alone,
they are emphatically opposed to a
League of Nations for land grabbing and
for spoils People also are tired of ex-
ces sive tax burdens and extravagant
government, both of which have con-
tributed to the high cost OF living, and
are generally disappointed in the inef-
ficiency and wa ;tefulness Of the Demo-
cratic management of the last seven and
half years"

PATROLMEN DENY USING
ANTI-SMITH PAMPHLET
Distributed at Meeting, but
Members Not Responsible.

Chief Inspector WilliamJ. Lahey yes
terday began an investigation at Police
Headquarters to determine whether the
Patrolmens Benevolent Association had
anything to do with the pamphlet assail-
ing Gov. Smith which was distributed
at meeting of the patrolmen and fire.

Lahey questioned Joseph +. Moran.
president of the patrolmen's organiza-

1t is the outgrowth of insiders and I'M
scrupulous propaganda carried on by
self-seeking politicians. both In public
life and in the ranks of the Legion it,
self, who have throttled the Legion at
the very threshold OF the promise of a
stainless and splendid future.
THE Legion was properly expected
to exert a leading influence In the de-
velopment of the best patriotic thought
and patriotic action. BY one wild plunge
il has deserted amazing possibilities for
in the largest sense TO en-
brace about equal possibilities for harm.
The bonus politicians have stamped
upon 1t indelibly the stigma OF mercen-
airy sins and practices.
Calls Demand unprecedented.
'TJnconsciously or designedly this
campaign organization of ex-service men
is being built UP TO extort service PEN
sions.' Will the American people
acknowledge the principle that the decent
performance of the duty OF citizen
gives TO a special class the right to tax
all other classes for its own dement,!
Where is the limit? The present demand
Is unprecedented.
"The appetite for pensions grows by
what n feeds on. That has been the
experience in Canada. Those who had
served in the Canadian army received
bonuses in substantial sums, especially
those who had served for three or -FOUR
wears. vet few months iater-last
winter-they were demanding an addi-
tional bonus of s1,500-or S2,Ooo--per
man. What has been the result! Ineir
demands became so unreasonable tila'
instead of gaining money they nave lost
both sympathy and respect They nave
to n pitlable extent robbed their oe-
scendants of a priceless heritage OF
ps triotlc gratitude.
"The American public has been passing
through a period of ingratitude ana IN
difference. but the pendulum Will swing
back If the organizations that are re-
garded as speaking for ex-service men
will hermit II to do so. Otherwise the
same hostile sentiment may be expected
to develop here that has developed IN

Judge Miller wouldn't be talking about

In beginning his speech Gov. Smith

Won't bet on Sure Thing.

The same agent of the commissioner
who places most of the bets In Wall
street, who four years ago hung exult-
antly over the bar. yesterday gathered
the reporters around him in a -oft drink
emporium. Its all wrong, boys; it's
all wrong. They simply won't bet on
a sure thing. Those who favor Harding
don't like the idea of having to put up
$500 or $500 cold bucks to win 500, and
those who favor Cox are afraid to put
up to 500. So there you are. We have
stakes for bets OF less than half a mil
lion dollars, compared with four millions
four years ago. But, anyhow. have an
other sunde.
All of which goes to prove that, how
ever the election goes, there is not a
great amount of money on 1t. The odds
In recent days have become so prohibit
tive that even the nerviest of gamblers
do not like to lay them, and are con-
tent with putting few dollars on the
pluralities or the Gubernatorial race,
just to keep their hands In.
Wall Street odds, of course, are not
infallible. They went awry In 1888,
when the odds on Cleveland to beat Har-
rison were 10 to 8. They went wrong
in 1892, when the odds on Harrison %
beat Cleveland were 10 to o. and they
went wrong in 1916. when the closing
odds were 10 to that Hughes would de-
feat Wilson.

SHORT JACKET FOR SPORTS
Garment Promises to Prove Most Pop
uar for Outdoor Wear; Wool
Jersey Favored.

Every season offers its best in sport
toys and especially coats. One season
it was the blazer jacket, Haunting it's
striped surface to an admiring world !;
then the advent of the black velvet
coat, and last year the sleeveless coat
reigned supreme as the queen Of the
sport coat.
But this season there is something
different and even more practical and
If we are to judge by the enthusiasm
discriminating women are showing the
short jacket will prove to be the most
popular for outdoor wear.
Wool jersey of a heavy, close weave
is the favored fabric in gay and dull
shades and cut into jaunty, attractive
models. For tennis, golf, motoring or
.tramping, there is a fetching jacket of
pool table green jersey that is I'M
usually attractive. 1t falls considerably
oyer the hips and is cut not too full.
The top is finished in a mannishly
tailored style, with notched collar and
turn back revers. There is a belt Of
the material which divides the pockets,
TWO at the breast and two below the
belt. 1t is the pockets so well-made
that gives the air of finished smart
ness to the garment, for they show an
inverted plat through the middle and
a clever turn-back flap at the top.
For rough and ready wear this jacket
is ideal, worn with a short skirt of
green and tan plaid and topped by
tam 'of bright green velours. But for
more dressy occasions, it would go well
with a white satin skirt, white low ties
and fetching sport hat of green and
white taffeta, nicely tailored.
Closely knitted jackets are making
their appearance and in all the most
wanted colors. Some are deeply
flOunced and frilled at the sleeves,
while others choose the tailored way
to smartness.

included in the early fall line of
millinery manufacturers are unusually
attractive models made of duvetyn

duyetyn is used for the crown and

the entire crown and brim Of beaver,
with velvet used as facing on the I'M

hats in this line are described this
way In the current bulletin of the

lea:
"A line Of sailors made of hatter's
plush is especially featured. The hats
extremely smart-are made Just
like a mans high hat with a
Agossamer body, and duvetyn is used
as facing for some Of the models
"Hatter's plush is ugnd also to make
a swagger veil hat. The high crown
gives it somewhat the appearance of
a small high hat, and the brlm is
straight and narrow. Two Jet orna-
ments festOOn the front of the gown,
and a veil bangles from the narrow
brim. For a rolling sailor Of green
duvetyn, black hatter's plush is used
to face the brim. Trim hats designed
for riding or strictly tailored wear,
made entirely Of the hatters plush,
also are shown.
Orange duvetyn is combined with
white beaver to make striking hat.
The high crown is somewhat bell
shaped and slopes slightly on one side.
The broad brim of the vivid-hued
duvetyn is festooned with flowers of
beaver appliqued with Angora. A
narrow black and orange ribbon
bands the crown and ties in bow
in back. Facing the under side of
the brim is the white beaver.

KAAR LACE, NET AND RIBBON
characterization for Froeks Never
More Pronounced Than for the
Present Season.

Lace and net are most popular for
summer frocks this year, and on the
same wave that carried them into
popularity ribbon has been swept into
popular favor. Consequently, ribbons
have never been more beautifully col
Ored or more interesting in design,
and, from the narrOwest widths of
wash ribbons to those wide enough
for a girdle, they are really notable.
One of the most attractive uses of
ribbon in connection with lace is
an underskirt. One very pretty frock
of wide filet lace was made with a
skirt straight in front-only slightly
gathered to the belt-and flying loose
at the sides, the extra length being
managed by being caught up in a
loose drapery, held by knots of mar
row ribbon of two colors, silver on
one side and lavender on the other.
The underskirt of this dress was
made of very wide ribbon in lavender
and pale rose tones, the ribbon being
catstitched together with lavender
silk thread. This underskirt was per
fectly straight, and about half an inch
shorter than the lace skirt.
