Fight on Cancer Gains
New Victories i'm Year
Increasing Number of Surgeons
Specializing in Pathology
to COnuuer Disease

Satisfactory progress in treatment
Of cancer has been made in the last
year, according to. the sixth annual re-
port Of DR.. Francis Carter Wood, di-
rector of the George Crocker Special
Research Fund Of Columbia University,
who observes that an increasing num-
ber of surgeons are making a special
study of path ology.
"Time was when the surgeon cor
sidered anatomy as of far more i'm
portance in his intellectual armament
tarium than pathology" the report
says. "but Of recent years, with the
codiication of operative procedures an
extensive knowledge, of anatomical de-
tails is becoming less important, and
it is being realized that especially in
tumor surgery an accurate knowledge
of pathology is extremely necessary
for the best results.
Both lay and professional opinion
has changed greatly in the last few
years as regards the fundamental ne
cessity Of accurate laboratory diagno-
sis for surgical material, and the Amer
lean College of Surgeons has recently
laid especial stress on this point

II Will BE in Convention, He
Will Not" Says Jersey
Governor

Governor Edward I. Edwards, of New
Jersey, gave out statement yestcr.
day expressing fear that William J
Bryan did not read the newspapers any
more. The fear was based on Mr.
Bryan's reiteration Of his statement
that Governor Edwards had withdrawn
from the Presidential contest, state
ment which Governor Edwards had de.
MED in Fridays newspapers.
In repeating his denial, he said that
ne withdrew his name from the
Nebraska primaries because otherwise
the "moist" votes Of that state might
be divided between himself and Sena-
tor Hitchcock, a division of which
might enable Mr.. Aryan "to slip in as
ernor Edwards said:
will run as delegate In my
state. will assuredly be elected, and
the colonel will therefore be confronted
with this situation; will be physically
present in the convention to urge the
rights Of the people; he will undoubt-
edly not be able to get into the convcn-
tion, but will be allowed to write let
ters to the newspapers, which is the
best he can do for the Anti-Saloon
League and the very reasonable stipend
which am informed they give him.
Unless, therefore, he is insistcnt that
the people do not read the newspapers,
he will stop reiterating this false as
sertion that I have withdrawn from
the contest"

Divided Labor
Vote Expected
By Republicans
Survey Indicates the Masses
Are Not Organized for
One Party; Likely to
Turn Against Democrats
Gains in South Foreseen
Hoover Found to Have
Strength Among Women
Voters ALI Over Nation

Recently there was completed for the
Republican National Committee an in
formal survey of the political situa-
tion, with particular reference to the
attitude Of labor toward the Repub-
lican and Democratic organizations, the
effect Of prohibition among the toilers
and the likelihood of success for Re-
publicans in Missouri, Kentucky, Ten
nessee, Virginia, North Carolina and
Texas.
While for obvious reasons no one in
a position Of authority in the national
committee would take it upon himself
to outline the situation, lest he might
come to grief afterward as a poor dag
nostician, the information obtained
from the survey, which is in circula-
tion among the members Of the COM
nittee as a result Of the work, is sub
stantially as follows:
There is little probability of an or
ganized labor vote of the country or Of
iaboring men in the steel, coal and coke
industries voting as mass for any
candidate or party. The high wages

comforts and near luxuries, enabled and
inspired him to get his mind off his own

things with q broader view than previ-
ously.
Workers to Vote Republican
The survey indicates that large per-
centage of wage workers who in the
last two Presidential elections voted
the Democratic ticket this year will
vote the Republican ticket. The fun
damental reasons impelling the changed
view are % the old-fashioned notion
Of the layman that it Is not good for a
political party to control the Federal
government too long; (2) that the Will
son Administration, judged by its rec
ord. is incompetent.
The survey indicates that the great
bulk of the wage earners are satisfied

they would vote dry" as the greater
percentage did before. There is feel
ing that it might be we'll to have
greater elasticity in the law with ref
erence to light wines and beer, but this
feeling does not go deep enough to
warrant the assumption that the labor
ing masses would welcome back the
saloons and distilleries. The survey
indicates that the agitation for the
speedy repeal Of the Eighteenth Amend
ment is paid for by the liquor interests.
and that the wage workers are con-
scious that it is paid propaganda.
Hoover in the Picture"
The survey further indicates that the
members of labor organizations are

Bedford Dis1nissals Denied
Reformatory Managers Confer
With Governor Smith

Members of the board of managers of
the State Reformatory for Women con-
fetred with Governor Smith yesterday,
at the Hotel Biltmore, concerning the
report made by John S. Kennedy, of
the State Prison Commission, in which
he recommended the dismissal of Helen
Cobb, superintendent of the reforma-
tory, and Julia Minogue, assistant su-
perintendent. One member predicted
that neither would be dismissed.
"The Governor said nothing about
dismissing Miss Cobb" he said. eve
talked about financial needs of the in
stitution and other matters. Miss Cobb
is not under charges. The report that
she has been ousted is nonsense. The
managers are the only ones who can
dismiss a superintendent"

Colonel Thomas w. Miller, associate
eastern manager Of the Wood campaign
who returned yesterday from con-
ference with Rhode Island leaders, said
there was good reason for the predic-
tion that Rhode Islands ten delegates

Abbott Phillips, chairman Of the Rhode
Island Wood League, presided at the
conference called by Colonel Miller.
and Frederick Peck, the National Com
mitteeman, also was present. Governor

The Wood managers are expecting q
big week, on account Of the primaries
this week. On Tuesday and Wednes-
day, at the Connecticut State conven-
tion, it is expected by the Wood men
that, while Connecticut's delegates will
be unpledged, four or six Of them are
known to be Wood men. Ultimately
the Wood men expect to have the sup
port at Chicago Of the entire delega-
tion of fourteen.
South Dakota will hold its preferen-
tial primary on Tuesday. General Wood
has been campaigning there during the
last week. The Wood men claim the
entire delegation Of ten.
Maine on Thursday will hold it's
state convention at Bangor and choose
twelve delegates. Although it is ex-
pected they will go uninstructed, Gov

cation will vote for him in the conven-
tion in June.
