iIY J. RUSSELL YOUNG.

Things have frightened up consid-
erably for the Republicans in Massa-
rhIsetts since the Presidents recent
appeal for the folks of the old home
State to return William NJ. Butler
Iepublican national committeeman
IL Tie Senate and to retain Alvin
i'uilcr as governor.
Following the publication of his let.
toy - State Chairman Prescott of
1ia@'-9c husetts, in which he gave his
Enforcement to these two candidates,
1be President is known to have watch
ed the reaction.
Virtually 3ll of the reports received
o the White House assure the Pres
III; nj that he personally has saved the
day for his party in Massachusetts
ana that the Presidents appeal has at
least brought an end to the apathy
that prevailed generally throughout
the State, especially in the so-called
l'epuhlican Strongholds, and that now
the Voters-especially the rural vot-
crS-haVe been aroused His adViceS
indicate that if the full Republican
vote is cast there will be no doubt
about the outcome on election day.
President to Give Example.
Il was just this sort Of response
the President is represented as hay
fn;, sought when he made his appeal
Il TIE electorate Of his State. 1t was
not his desire to coniine his appeal
merely to an Endorsement of Senator
Butler and Gov. Fuller by telling the
1e"pia of his State just how highly he
TcG' .Tled these Two men. He had been
e3r n@ much about the apathy that
prevailed. There is a great Indifference
nn the part of the electorate. This
situation was such as to cause the
Republican leaders to be alarmed over
th1 outcome. Their fear of the out
come was not because the leaders saw
q decided drift toward David /. Walsh
who is opposing Senator Butler, but
because it was 50 apparent that thou
sands Of Republicans were displaying
tittl". if any. interest in the campaign.
The President himself, while dis
GUESSING the matter, was represented
rs saying that the primary object of
his tourney to the voting booth in his
home town is not only to arouse the
electorate of the Bay State but to
serve as an example to the citizens
throughout the country.
Chants Prayer for President.
The President today has at the
White House as a house guest Charles
b. Warren Of Detroit Mich, former
Ambassador to Mexico. 1t is under
stood that the President asked Mr..

the Mexican situation and to offer
suggestions in relation to letter the
State Department is preparing to send
TO the Mexican government dealing
with certain matters of interna tional
law. principally involving the new oil
and land laws of that republic. Mr..
Warren, prior to being Ambassador to
Mexico. was one Of two commissioners
who negotiated with the Mexican gov
ernment preparatory to the renewal
of the diplomatic relations between
that nation and the United States.
