What Hays Claims.

NEW YORK, Oct. 29-Will ii.
Hays. Republican national commits

ment in which he said an official Re-
publican survey of the county indi.
Gated that Harding and Coolidge
would receive the largest popular
majority ever cast In a presidential
election.
I'VE now are approaching the con-
clusion of this campaign" said Mr..
Hays. "On the part of the Republi.
can party 1t has been predicted upon
the necessity of the revival of pat
riotism In this country" 1t has had
for main purpose the reestablish-
ment of an economic and efficient
administration of the country's gov-
ernment.
THE Democratic strategy in this
campaign has desperately sought to
escape just and due responsibility for
Democratic extravagances, autocracy
and failure to solve any domestic
problems. The Democratic manage
ment had attempted to hide behind
peace smoke screen which is as
counterfeit as the 1916 pledge that
Wilson would keep us out of war;

the depths to which opposition is de-
scending in the concluding days Of
the campaign.
"Thirty-two states are surely Re-
publicans, seven additional most
probably Republican and only nino
safely Democratic. The minimum
number of safe Republican electoral
votes is 36S. There is very much
better than an even chance for twen-
ty-four more. making the almost
certain Republican electoral vote

twenty-five"
Mr.. Hays added that the Republi.
can majority would exceed the un-
precedented Roosevelt electoral ma

WOMEN
CAST FIRST VOTE
Property Owner Qualification Is
Taken Advantage Of At
Tuesdays Election
FIRST FEMALE VOTERS

That the right of franchise is ap-
preciated by women of the village of
Eastport. across the Spa, was evil
denced yesterday at the election on
the annexation question, at which
more than half OF the women who had
the right to vote went to the polls and
cast their ballot
II was a great day in the history of
Eastport suffragists, who voted for the
first time. The property owner quail
fleation gave women the right to cast
their ballot and say whether or not
they wished to be annexed to Anna
polls.
1t is believed that every woman who
did vote opposed annexation. There
were six white and one colored wo-
man who went to the polls and voted
for the first time as follows: Mrs
Dorothea Reid, Mrs Charlesetta Stew
art, Mrs. Louise Williems. Mrs. Mag
gle Russell, Mrs. Marie Bembe and
Mrs. George Heller The colored wo-
man who voted was Delhi Snowden
1t is claimed there were probably
five or six other Eastport women who
could have voted, being owners OF
Eastport property, but who did not
present themselves at the polls to ex-
ercidse their right of franchise.
The total poll at Eastport was 329
votes, "a of which were for city ex-
tension and 295 against.

Both. Eastport and German
town. the most thickly settled
suburban sections of Annapolis,
registered stout opposition to
present annexation to the city, at
1 special election held in the two
sections yesterday, i'll accordance
with the provisions of a law pass
ed at the last session of the Leg
islature.
Incidentally, it was the first
time that women have been per-
mitted to cast ballot in the re-
spective sections, as the voting
was extended to taxpayers, male
or female, whether or not they
lived within the respective bord-
ers, in addition to all qualified
male voters.
Decided apathy existed on the is
sue, although a fairly big vote was
polled at Eastport. 1t was realized
some time ago that annexation" was
doomed to defeat, and there had been
little or no active campaigning. The
voters, it appeared, had simply made
up their minds that they could not see
any benefits that would accrue. In a
way the matter was left to take care
of itself, "Hb'
The greatest interest centered in
Eastport, the most populous OF the
two sections. 1t has a registered vote

annexation to the city has been a
much-mooted question.
The present law embracing the pro-
visions for annexation or city exten-
sion had it's origin with Mayor Levy's
Charter Commission" last fall. But
the interest in it seems to have died
with its adoption, instead of stirring
the advocates of annexation to greater
effort in the fight at the polls Tuesday.
The result shows that only the voters
opposed to the annexation plan got
busy, end there is no question as to
