BAST IS REPUBLICAN
TVO MEN SHOT IN STREET BATTLE BETWEEN STRIKERS AND GrUARDS
By JOHN EDWIN NEVIN
NKW YORK, Oct J4. Muddled as never
tefore to American politic! history, the
treat national political campaign of 1916
sterol K Ut two weeks today.
, Th outcome will b Close. That la one
' the eemlntle cleaned from conversa
tlon with the men who manag tha fight
In tha two big headquarter here. Nat
urally, each claim victory. But In Private
eonveratlon the wwert that for tha first
time In tha history of tha nation tha "un
branded" voter of the country actually
held the decision In their hands.
Former Justice Charles E. Hughes, tha
Republican nominee, tonight resumes his
open campaign. Ha will be buy from now
until the curtain roll down on the eve of
tha election. Peraonally he la supremely
confident
llVailBB'B i ESTIMATE
Mr.Hughe feela certain that he will win.
Ilia argument, aa aubmltted to tha few
parsons who are In his confidence, runs
about as follows:
The country Is Republican. The fight
this year la between only two parties.
Xf there Is any popular drift toward Wll
son It wilt not be sufficient to change the
result Tha Ilepubllcan electors will be
In a majority and they will win the eo
catled plrotal Btatea by smatl possibly
extremely small plurattles. But they
will win I
At Shadow Lawn President Wilson, with
tha confidential predictions of his closust
political advisers before him, maintains a
quiet equanlmfty. He believes that the
"Wilson lucky star" still Is In the ascen
dency. He has been convinced for weeks
that the twin slogans, "He Kept Us Out
of War" and "Let Well Enough Alone,"
will be effective on the men who will de
cide; And he Is convinced that, while he
will very likely lose certain States that un
der ordinary circumstances he could count
on and one of these may be his home
State he will pull such support from the
Ilepubllcan strongholds as absolutely to as
sure his re-election.
EAST IB REPUBLICAN
Swinging down the home stretch It was
today even emphatically more apparent that
political opinion waa still far from crystal
Using. Most of the East seems certainly
Republican. The Democrats admit that
they mado a tactical error In swinging their
heavy artillery away from the old-time
Wall street strongholds." On the other
haYid. the Republicans say that they were
also In error, and that. Instead of following
out the plans conceived before the conven
tions and making a straight-out fight along
tariff lines they have been led Into a situa
tion which endangers their success In tha
sections where they should be strongest
Republican leaders at headquarters here
are chary over making Iron-clad predictions
regarding nidlvldual States. They admitted
today that tha doubtful States were the
largest In number in the history of the na
tion. And. as was natural, they Insisted,
with pad and pencil, that they coula show
how his situation must benefit them. Across
at the Democratic headquarters a similar
state of affairs was said to exist
President Wilson will have a strong sup
port from tha voters who are deciding for a
President tha first time. He will have the
advantage of the office-holding class and
this despite the fact that there Is a well-defined
opposition In most communities to his
selections, nspectally in tha East where the
majority of presidential appointees have
been far from party wheel horses.
Organized labor, probably for the first
ttma since the palmy days when tha Knights
of Labor were all-powerful, will cast many
ef Its votes for tha Democratic National
ticket
In addition, the democracy today Is mak
ing the most of the claim that abroad,
Where all Europe Is In "flames," the defeat
of tha President would be misinterpreted
and there will be a distinct change In the
attitude of the various Powers toward this
country and its diplomacy,
STILL NEDULOUS
Today both parties had brought Into ac
tion all their reserves. From every cross
road In every section of the country tha
voice of the spellbinder was being raised. It
was admitted that, "while some sudden un
explainable contingency might arise to com
plicate the outlook, the general situation
hardly would clarify before election day,
just a fortnight off. Headquarters are
crowded with paid and volunteer adver-.
Users. But the voter himself continued
undecided and the center of Interest in both
parties.
The Socialist and Prohibition vote this
year will be large. Party men who are
disgusted with their own factions' selec
tions will boost tha "third parties" and this
fact may cause a decided change In calcu
lattona In States where one or the other
party today sits in snug self-satisfaction
m to the outcome.
REPUBLICAN CLAIMS
Chairman Wilcox, of the Republican Na
tional Committee, claimed Ohio, Illinois and
New York the three big doubtful States
tor the Republican party,
' "The Democrats provoke laughter when
they make claims of those States," said
Mr. Wllloox. "EacM will roll up an over
whelming vote for Mr. Hughes. Every re
port that has corns to us shows that Mr,
Hughes, strong in these places at the start
of tha campaign, is increasing that strength
as tha campaign nears Its end."

DOCTOR MAYO'S CHARGE
Blame for failure to prevent disease "was
placed squarely upon the shoulders of the
medical profession by Dr. Charles H. Mayo,
the famous surgeon, before the opening
meeting of tho surgeons at the Bellevue
Stratford last night Physicians should
teach the public preventives, ha declared.
Th'e 1100 delegates from all parts of the
continent began the!) second day ot clinical
observation in twenty-thrvt hospitals today,
where Philadelphia, surgeons operated for
a variety of diseases. Many new methods
of treating disease with the knife were
demonstrated.
In Doctor Mayo'A arraignment ot tha
medical profession for Its laxity, he saldt
We have lived to see the time when
all the great diseases of the world are
under control to the extent that their
etiology Is known. Where the world
was once decimated by plagues, all
these conditions we now understand,
and as medical men we quite fall to
do our duty In not causing the publlo
to take the proper available prevent
ives. In this country more than 800,000
died last year of preventable diseases.
The causa goes n many Cases to tha

they ocourred. It, is our fault. There
Is no reason why the laity should be

NEW YORK, Oct 24. Four million
women's votes aren't to be sneezed at this
presidential year.
The two big parties admitted this frankly
today and said they're turning every pos
sible attention to wooing the suffragists'
ballots.
Each side claimed the majority ot the
women would be for them, but each was
just as franlc In admitting that It's hard
to tag women voters and that there'll be
much Independent voting.
As the Republican women's branch put It
"The women will not 'Note as their hus
bands, brother and sweethearts do."
The Democratlo camp said, "Suffrage will
not bo a determining factor. Women will
reason for themselves and vote as they see
fit, though wo believe they will see that
Wilson Is their best hope."
Thoy are very earnest folk these women
campaigners. A few around headquarters
of both parties looked as though this hunt
for tho elusive vote might be a fad, but for
the most part they had their coats oft and
were hustling.
Both sides are making a big drive on
strictly economlo questions, arguing that
what affect men alsp affects women.
Worker at Hughe headquarter were
busily engaged mailing out a list of ques
tions for women to ponder. Involving large
ly matters of higher living costs, tariff

HYPHEN ALLEGATIONS
May Reply in Queens Tonight to
Charges of Collusion Will

Upon Opponents
BETS 10-9 ON G. O. P. MAN
NEW YORK, Oct 84. Charles C
Hughes, speaking In Queens borough to
night probably will have something to say
about the hyphen charge. The candidate
himself wa silent today, but those close
to him suggested he might reply to tha
Democratic allegation.
The Democratlo National Committee con
tinued It hyphen drive against the Republi
can nominee. The '. Int"ment"!!j?
series concerning the admitted conference
between Hughes and the American Inde
pendence Conference linked the name of
Supreme Court Justice Cohalan, of this
city, as with the hyphen organization. It
named him a a speaker to the "conferees"
and said he had urged getting In touch
with Republican leaders more closely.
The Democratic contention Is that
ttiirhu nttered antl-Ally Attacks subse
quent to his conference with tha Independ
ence group. At ono point the Democratic
document says, his .nttatk on Wilson's
"surrender to force" In the eight-hour law
was regarded as strong, but not wholly
satisfactory.
Answering this, Chairman Wlllcox, of the
Republican National Committee, reiterated
his statement that Hughes had made the
organization no pledges and had entered
Into no agreement or deal.
Wlllcox charged that the Democrat were
seeking hyphen favor. Tho Hughes talk
with the Independence organization and the
American rights committee was at the
solicitation of the organization, he said,
while ho asserted the Democrats had sought
council with hyphens. The Republican
chairman charged the Democrats hnd
franked out a speech translated Into Ger
man, as made by Representative Lleb, of
Indiana.

40,000 POWDER WORKMEN
FOR HUGHES, SAYS LEADER
Du Pont Men Against Wilson for Tax,
Declares New Jersey Man
Nnw YORK, Oct 24. The Times today
prints the following special dispatch from
Its correspondent at Haskell, N. J.:
There are 40,000 voters engaged in pow
der making In New Jersey who will vote
almost solidly for Hughes, according to
James Lynch, manager ot tho du Pont
factory here, who Is directing the Hughes
campaign among the 3500 employes under
him.
To Indicate how solidly the powder
makers are behind the Republican candi
date, Mr. Lynch said that of tho 3000 voters
In the Haskell factory, only Bevcnty-flve
had voted in the Democratic primary. That
proportion, Mr. Lynch believed, had been
cut down considerably by the Hughes cam
paign now being conducted vigorously by
the du Pont ofllclals among their employes.
The employes of this factory are per
fectly free to be for President Wilson, If
they want to," said Mr. Lynch. "None of
them will be punished for being Democrats,
If they want to be. As a matter ot fact, a
few of them are Democrats now and have
not been disturbed. When the meeting was
called at the clubhouso last Tuesday I an
nounced that the purpose was to launch the
Hughes campaign, and about fifteen em
ployes expressed their disapproval by leav
ing the room. We have nothing against
them on thnt account
"We have got Into the campaign thls
tlme, principally because the firm has been
hard hit and many of us hae been hit per
sonally by the retroactive tax which the
Wilson Administration has placed on the
munition business. For the last eleven
years the du Pont Company has mado a'
practice of giving bonus stock to Its em
ployes for exceptional service and for val
uable suggestions. At present about twenty-nine
per cent ot the stock Is held by em
ployes of the company. In 1915 there wero
112J employes, a large proportion of them
laborers, holding bonus stock, and that num
ber has been considerably Increased since.
Before the great expansion of the du Pont
factories following the war, about one em
ploye In six held bonus stock, and every
man had then and still has a chance to
earn It
"These men are hit In the pocketbook
by anything that Injures the company.
Consequently there Is no necessity for using
pressure to get a strong Hughes movement
started In this factory, and I have reason
to believe that the same Is true of all tho
other du Pont factories In this State, In
Delaware and In New York, which employ
a total ot 70,000 men. The total of em
ployes ha jumped since the war from 6000
to 70,000, and tho 64,000 new employes,
who are, well paid and have good jobs, know
that their Interests ore the same aa those
tt the company,
"Furthermore, this Hughes movement Is
a movement of the du Pont employes, and
has not been fostered or encouraged by the
directors of the company, somb of whom are
Wilson, men. Statements that we have
threatened to take away the jobs of Wilson
aupporters or refused to permit employes to
wear Wilson buttons are totally false."
There are two other economlo argument
which are circulated among du Pont em
ploye a reason why they should vote for
Hughes, although officials of tho plant deny
personally using such appeals. The first I
that If Wilson Is elected, the du Pont m.
ployes will lose the twenty per cent war
bonus which was added to all salaries
Bhortly after tho war. Tho second Is that
If Hughes Is. elected, all of the 84,000 new
employes will be retained after the war
to work on "Infant Industries," wh'ch will
be substituted for powder-making, whereas
they will all be out of jobs if Wilson is elect
ed, for the reason that these Industrie
could not it 1 said, ba reared under a Dem
ocrats tariff.
