M
R. HUGHES will carry every
State north of the Mason and

in other States in the South and
Southwest.
Under the diplomacy of the Wil
son Administration we aro disliked,
if not hated, by the people of every
civilized nation of the world. When
the Industrial and commercial war
begins we will receive scant sym
pathy. Democratic statesmanship utterly
hna failed to make adequate pro
visions for the crisis which will con
front us.
Mr. Hughes is the man of the
hour. Ho has inspired the Amer
ican people with entire confidence
in his aballty.

COLLEGEVILLE, Pa, Sept. 1. The
prediction that Charles Evans Hughes will
carry every State north of tho Mason and
Dixon line was made by United States
Senator Boles Penrose In a stirring address
today before more than 1000 Republicans
from Montgomery and adjaoent counties
in an enthusiastic rally at Collegeville. The
Senator's forecast of a Hughes sweep was
greeted with a storm of applause.
Amid almost continuous applause, Pen
rose dealt blow after blow at the Demo
cratic administration, characterising It as
Incompetent and extravagant He said that
the Wilson policies had brought down tha
hatred of all civilised nations of, tha world
upon tha United States. Because ot these
policies, he asserted that America would
receive scant sympathy and consideration
in the fierce commercial war which he said
was bound to come at the close of the strife
In Europe. lie said he was certain that the
American people were thoroughly awake to
these facta and would get rid of the Wilson
administration.
PENROSE PREDICTS HUOIIBS SWEEP
The Senator said in parti
"It la dally becoming more and more evi
dent that the "American people have made
up their minds to get rid of the Wilson
Administration. It may be Jhat there is
not aa mueh publio Intereat aroused openly
in tho present presidential campaign as

Thomaa Martlndale, widely known Phila
delphia sportsman, merchant, lecturer and
author, died Wednesday night In tho wilds
of northern British Columbia, according
to word received here today. The body
Is being brought over the trail to Skagway
for shipment to his home In this city.
The cause of Mr. Martlndale's death
was not mentioned In the meager dis
patch which reached this city. The veteran
hunter was seventy years old, however, and
although for years he had been accustomed
to braving hardships and tests of weather
that would have daunted the courage of
youth, it is. supposed by some of his friends
that tho strain of his last hunting trip may
have been too great.
Mr. Martlndale, senior member ot the
Thomas Martlndale Company, Tenth and
Market streets, was o'ne of the organlxera
of the Poor Richard Club and of the Trades
League. He left for Alaska on July 11
wih Dr. W. Wayne Babcock, surgeon-ln-chiet
of the Samaritan Hospital, to hunt
bears.
The first Intimation of Mr. Martlndale's
Illness waa received at his 9fflce yesterday.
It came in the form of a telegram from Dr.
Babcock, and stated that Mr- Martlndale,
was suffering from a carbuncle and facial
erysipelas. The seriousness ot his condition
was not mentioned In the dispatch.
Word wis also received that Mr. Martln
dale's son, James, had left Detroit yester
day upon receipt of the news of bis father's
Illness.
It was said at Mr, Martlndale's office that

placed the veteran Steve Terkes at second
base.
Tnker has played tn only two games this
season, both being after regulars had been
put out of the game, and the contests hnd

by both the Cubs and Prates earlier In the
season.
Terkes reported to the Cubs In poor con
dition and weighing closely to 200 pounds,
no Tinker passed him along to the Pirates,
who released him to Atlantic.
The Southern climate agreed with
Terkes and he played such sensational ball
that Tinker purchased him. He joined the
team today and was Immediately sent Into
the game.
Tinker also sent a youngster to right field,
M. Merwln Jacobson, who was turned over
to the Cubs along with Larry Doyle and
Hunter for Heine Zimmerman
The Cubs had been In a badly crippled
condition and they had further misfortune
today when Rowdy Elliott, the only
catcher tn shape to play, had his hand
split with a foul tip from Paskert's bat in
the first Inning. A youngster named O'Con
nor, picked up on the lots from Boston,
was sent behind the bat, while Arthur Wil
son, whose knee was badly Injured by a
foul tip in poston, Jumped from a box be
hind the Cuba' bench and went to the club
house to don his untforrn.
