Democracy expect the labor vote to be
oddly lined up for Wilson and Democratlo
policies mainly because of President Wil
ton's solution, through the Adamson law,
of the threatened railroad strike.
On the other hand. Republican leader
are confident Hughes's assault on the
Adamson bill aa a "surrender to force" and
an abandonment of the collective principle
of bargaining for which labor has so Ions
fought, will mate labor votes for the Re
publican principles.
Republican managers also think a power,
ful Impression has been made In the "false
prosperity" revelations which Republican
orators have so vigorously pounded home.
Aa to the "hyphen" vote, Democratlo
leaders have nought to make campaign ma

have steadfastly1 maintained complete Ig

VERDICT OF MIDDLE WEST
IS ANXIOUSLY AWAITED
Kl
t
j
Rival Campaign Managers Make Final
Predictions
CHICAGO, Nov. . The mld-West has
been the greatest forensic forum In the cam
paign cloning today, and the verdict of
the Middle West will be most anxiously
awaited tomorrow by campaign managers
of both big parties.
Western headquartere of both Democrats
and Republicans were claiming everything
In sight today, but a careful checking to
gether of claims on both aides showed the
main battlegrounds to be In Illinois, Indi
ana, Ohio and Wisconsin a neat little
bunch of States representing eighty-one
electoral votes.
In Illinois women will vole for the first
time for President. Their Injection Into
politics places a brand-new aspect on the
vote outlook. Nearly 800,000 feminine
voters registered for this first casting of
their ballot.
Jn Ohio and Indiana It Is conceded the
vota wilt be close. rrobably never before
in the history of the two states has there
been such vigorous effort on the part of
leaders of both s'des to cement the State
organisations together.
Westward Into Iowa, Kan 'as, Nebraska
and South Dakota Is reached what politi
cal bystanders here have termed the
"pacifist belt." To these voters Candidate
Hughes, has preached his. dire warning of
"false prosperity" and urged return of the
Republicans to power that the a. O. I, pro
tective tariff might be enacted to safeguard
American 'prosperity when the close of the
European war should find all the great
nations of the earth In a llfe-and-death
struggle for commercial supremacy. Against
these arguments, Democratlo orators have
spread the "let-well-enough-alone" slogan,
talked the full dinner pall and the "he-kept-us-out-of-war"
plea.
Republican campaign managers here think
there Is a flrst-rate fighting chance to break
the solid South In Kentucky and Missouri.
In both places Hughes made a vigorous
stumping tour, being well received. In
Missouri as In Wisconsin the German
American vote may loom big In the ballot
ing tomorrow.

Under the old law with respect to the

names wore submitted to tho people for a
preferential vote. Whllo this allowed the
voter tn expre-w a choice, the nctloti ai
not binding on tho Assembly, which could
elect the defeated candidate If it desired.
Senator James U Martlne defeated ex
SVnator James Smith. Jr.. In this prefer
ential vote In 1910, nnd was elected by the
Assembly, being Inducted Into office March
4, 1911.
This year a direct voto of the people
nominated the candidates, and tho vote to

Interesting feature la that both candidates

If the act providing for the division of

is approved by the citizens of Camden It

COMPANY B ENGINEERS
WIN BATTLE FOR VOTE
BY COMMISSION ORDER
Registration Board Finds Law
and Attorney General's Opin
ion Sustain Newspaper's
Contention for Soldiers
HUGHES TO GET BENEFIT
The men of Company B, Pennsylvania
Engineers, who Just returned from the reor
der will bo permitted to vote at tomorrow a
election.
Things looked decidedly blue so far as the
right to exercise their franchise was con
cerned when the patriotic engineers went to
the headquarters of the Registration Com
mission today, Frrd J. Shoyer explained
the law requiring they should be on the
registration list two weeks before election.
While he regretted that their late return
from the bonier prevented them from com
plying with tho letter of the law, he said
there was no provision which would per
mit their voting tomorrow.
Following the contention of the Rvenino
Ixoacn that the disfranchising of the men
who went to the front seemed to be con
trary to tho spirit of the law, the Regis
tration Commissioners met and threshed the
matter out.
Tho Board reviewed an opinion filed by
Attorney General Brown August J. 191S.
holding that the personal registration law
did not apply to soldiers In active military
service. The only part of the 1916 law
which would appear to be against this was
tho requirement that all petltlona for reg
istrations be filed two weeks before election.
The opinion was expressed by the Board
that the right of franchise could not be
forfeited where a soldier otherwise qualified
was In actual service, especially in view of
the Attorney General's opinion that the per
Fonal registration act did not apply to sol
diers In actual service.
In a statement Issued at the conclusion of
tho conference, the Board said it waif of
the opinion that It would be In accord with
the spirit ot the Constitution and laws of
Pennsylvania for the soldiers to file peti
tions to register and dato them bock two
weeks.
All members of Company B, therefore,
who have tax receipts nnd are otherwise
qualified will be permitted to vote. The
commissioners will hold a special session
tomorrow from 9 to 1! at City Hall. The
men of Company B will appear before them
and after their names are placed on the
list they will be sent Immediately to the
divisions In which tho men vote.
A poll of the engineers. It Is said, showed
that 80 per cent were for Hughes. Between
October 11 and November 2 the commis
sioners have added 1729 names to the reg
istration lists. Of this number there were
1G09 Republicans, 14S Democrats, CG non
partisan, 3 Prohibitionists, S Socialists and
3 Washington Party men.
