The Socialist vote is apparently
about 100,000 greater than In 1913, but
this does not necessarily mean a gain In
goebUlst strength. It Is probable that
many voters who could not bring them
selves' to support either Hughes or Wll'
on oast their ballot for the Socialist elec
tors rather than not vote at all. Tho
party hoped to elect seVen Congressmen
but It probably holds only the seat It
, won two yeans ago. The country Is likely
to get as much socialism as, it cares for
-from the Democrats and Republicans
without trying to complicate matters by
t-rsuff itself up to a third party.

the returns thus far received show that
all the New Mexico counties, on the bor

Mr Hughes. Even Columbus, N M., the
eon of the Villa raid, preferred Mr.
Wilson. This Is Just; one curious angle
st am teettoR that Is replete with re
MjslHaliln features.
TO BUSINESS JUEN
rTUIIB apparent re-election of Mr. Wilson,
on the face of the returns, following
the belief that his utter repudiation by
nearly all the great Industrial States
meant his defeat. Is naturally a cause for
depression among the business men of
this community. If a recount resulted
In favor of Mr. Hughes, there would
still be little hope for a completely sat
isfactory adjustment of the tariff in a
Democratic Senate and a House in which
at the best the Republicans will not have
a working majority,
But the situation should be facod In
a hopeful spirit The present prosperity,
however precarious Its continuance be
yond the next year or- two, will in Itself
prevent any stampede toward tl)o atti
tude of extreme retrenchment. It must
be remembered there has been no loss of
confidence among Industrial leadors. In
spite of the fact that the growth of Wil
son sentiment in the last month made
the capture of the Senate by tho Repub
llcans seem hardly possible. Even a Re
publican landslide would not have given
the country a substitute for the Under
wood act for many months.
In fact, what tho most responsible and
far-seeing men have desired Is no prompt
change mode In a mens partisan spirit.
They have demanded rather a prompt
beginning of a constructive Investigation
to proceed stride by-otrlde with the trade
development among the belligerent and
neutral nations, this study to be made by
legislators of all parties and In as close
an approximation tg the nonpartisan
spirit as la possible.
There Is already on the statute books
the plan for the Tariff Board. Mr. Wil
son will appoint the members.. His
utterances on this subject have boon re
ceived as to a great extent reassuring,
though how far he would be willing to
encourage a tolerant spirit in Congress
is questionable. The President has
nicely discriminated between "biparti
sanship" and "nonpartisanshlp" In his
analysis of the requirements of the board.
He has declared against an attempt
merely to balance Republican against
'Democratic members to offsot each
others' prejudices, and In favor of select
ing such Investigators without regard to
their parjj 'affiliations men who will
honestly report the facts.
The Republican have notntng to lose
and everything to gain If Mr. Wilson can
really assure a nonpartisan Investigation.
They can go before the country In 1918
on the findings of the Tariff Board and
the discrepancies between those findings
and the action of the Congress upon
them. The Democratic party is in no
mood to let tlioso discrepancies bs very
great, after Its heavy loss of prestige In
the great industrial centers.

HUGHES FAR BEHIND NORMAL
REPUBLICAN STRENGTH
APOLITICAL, revolution occurred lost
Tuesday, It demonstrated that tho
voters liijOll parts of the country havo
begun to think for themselves.
The State leaders have usually counted
on the strength of tho presidential candi
date to pull the local ticket through. In
the States that have gone Republican
the local ticket has been stronger than
the national ticket. Governor Whitman
was re-elected Governor of New York by
132.000 plurality, but Hughes had a plu
rality of only 101,000, and Governor Mc
Call carried Massachusetts by 23,000 moro
votes than were polled for Hughes. In
Ohio, where the electlqn of the wfiole
Republican ticket has been certain every
presidential year, a Domocrat Is elected
as Governor by 12,000, while Mr. Wilson
carries the State by 70,000. Kansas, Re
publican on State Issues by 100,000, gives
Mr. Wilson at least 9000. California has
elected a Republican-Progressive Senator
by 100,000 and divides almost evonly on
the presidential ticket. Benator Polndox
ter is re-elected In Washington by 60,000,
while the Wilson voto Is 13,000 greater
than the Hughes vote.
If, the States which have gone Repub
lican on local Issues hid given their ma
jorities to Mr. Hughes, the Republican
nominee would have had about 300 elec
toral votes.
The significance of this peculiar and
unprecedented situation cannot bo under
stood unless we consider along with the
voto for the presidency the vote for mem
bers of Congress. The Republicans have
made" suh considerable gains as to wipe
out the working majority of the Demo
orata. ThW means that the nation has
not indorsed the economic policies of the
Democratic parjy. It foreshadows the
election In 1918 of a Republican House,
and a "Republican JSenato unless the De-

LONDON. Oct 24. VtThat does Europe
think of America? The answer Is that
Europe doesn't think of the United States.
There Is no occasion for surprise or dis
appointment at that answer. Moat of
Europe Is engaged In an affair which we
have decided Is not necessarily our affair.
Tho Entente knows that In all chance Ger
many will not make another break. The
United States Is not coming In. Why worry
about the United States?
About a week before the TJ-53 appeared
oft Nantucket Lighthouse I asked the man
ager of a. dally paper In London why there
was so little American" news. In the press.
It happens that that -manager Is an Ameri
can himself, and his answer was not preju
diced, but it waa sharp.
"My dear sir," he said, "we are Inter
ested In Greece and Sweden. We are riot
Interested In the United States." ,
I asked him If that wasn't rather a
pity.. He? thought it was. "But you see,
we are at war. We Interest ourselves In
,eerythlng that may help In'tbe war. We
do not think America may help."
So I went elsewhere and "asked If the
United States had a friend anywhere In
the world. For nearly a year and a half
I had been persuaded that the answer was
no. And I find that the answer Is yes and
no, which Is considerable Imfirovement. The
Uptted States as a nation Is being criti
cized In Europe far more today than It was
a year agowhen Europeans stop to think
or talk nbout the country at all. But It
has not forfeited the respect of the world
by any means. While a presidential cam
paign Is going on this Is a political ques
tion, but Englishmen and Frenchmen to
whom 'I have1 spoken of this aspect of tha
matter have been quite frank in saying
that U Is absurd.
"To re-elect a President or to elect a new
President on the strength of the passions
of a continent at war," they have said. In
so many words. "Is folly. Of course. It
the United States Is going to trade with
and live with the nations of the world
after the war, she ought to care what they
think. But she oughtn't to care enough to
Interfere with what she herself thinks'
Pro-Wilson or antl-Wllsont the Investi
gator of popular opinion and of Intelligent
opinion In England and Franca Is certain
to be disappointed.
Wilson and Belgium
The first fact Is Belgium. "The civilized
world will never forgive President Wilson,"
said a sober and thoughtful business man,
"for having betrayed the United States
when he did not protest sgatnst the viola
tion of Belgian neutrality." And this opin
ion Is perhaps the most widespread, bar
one. In both England and France and In the
whole British empire. In England par
ticularly the Impression still holds that tho
J7nted States pledged herself to protest
against the violation of treaty rights In
Europe.
"I never knew that' the United States
didn't sign The Hague conventions In the
same way as the other countries did." I
have been told by more than one of those
.who feel bitterly about the United States.
But apart from that, many Englishmen and
Frenchmen feel that, traditions or no tra
dition, the President did the United States
an"evll Service" In August. 1814., Until
lxamonth ago every one felt that way.
The change has come In a peculiar way.
Great Britain Is now thoroughly con
vinced, as far as Its thoughtful men and
women are concerned, that the Presluent
did' not mlarepreient the United States,
ny a very slow process, and one' which
was not cheerfully accepted, it has become
(he fixed Impression here that the country,
as a whole. Is less Interested In the cause of
the pledged allies than the Administration.
For proof of that one needs to go back
only to the fatal phrase. For the first
time since the war began the newspaper
placards of London, on a certain day, all
bore the saras words, For a whole flay
and well Into the night the same werds'
were hurled at the people of London; end
those words were "Too Proud to Fiiriitl"
Those words do not mean today what .they i
I SaB hi .fjiana waaai iwjr were

roughly, that the country Is too. oroud.
Aa usual, It Implies tori cowardly.
But the people who think are even more
generous. Last week Cecil Chesterton ad
dressed an qpen letter to.the President. In
It he said, plainly, that America was more
Interested In her on arfalrs than In Euro
pean, and he professed to believe that even
"too proud to fight" was spoken not In re
gard to Germany, but In regard to Mexico.
That Is raid here again and again. But
when I aaked a newspaper writer, whose
business It Is to know what oeotle think.
-and who knows his business, to tell me his
impression, he said, "The people. of Eng
land, and particularly of London, are not
beyond the too-proud state yet. They think
It's your national motto or something."
At a certain music hall In London they
used to show. In the Intermission', slides
of the rulers 'of the Entente countries and
of neutral nations. One alone was without
cheers, was even hissed here and there
each night. That slide Is no longer being
shown. It waa President Wilson.
"Your Greatest President"
But once you pass above tha muslo hall
audience you will find such mad enthusi
asts for the President as you will not And
In the United States, not even In the edi
torial offices of tha Democratic papers. It
Is astonishing In Its prevalence and In Its
extent Comparisons with Lincoln have
been flouted as Insignificant
"He is so near being a great man, bo
sure of being called the greatest statesman
of the war," I was told.
"He Is so far superior to any President
before him. I wonder that he was ever
elected. Tou don't deserve such a man," was
another estimate.
There Is a positive affection for his note
writing and unbounded admiration for his
domestla policies.
"If the President would only not maka
speeches." This time It -was not the Phila
delphia Bpeech, but the, Chicago speech
which gave the world the Impression that
the United States was superior to Europe
and to the madness of Europe. That hurt
Europe and hurt the President mightily.
The more reoent address in the West, when
the President said that it America goes
to war she wants to know why she goes
to war was also taken aa a slap In the
face of Europe And the faint touch of
self-assertion In some of the notes to Great
Britain. In, which the United States pro
tests that she has always been the first
to stand for this right or that. Is not pre
cisely tne imng to promote reipect or
friendship.
Probably the black list did President
Wilson, personally, mora good In Great
Britain than any .other single thing. Pub',
llclits hod alwaya Insisted on the good will
of the great majority of Americans toward
England, and It was with this good will
hi mind that the President was condemned
for being unfriendly. But the roars of pro
test which were heard, though faintly, on
this side, made Britain think. She suddenly
realized that she could not bank on that
good will. And naturally she revised her
opinion of the comparative attitudes of
President and people. The Oore and MoLe
more resolutions also helped him, but their
significance 'was not generally understood,
and they are virtually forgotten.
And one further thing: what Is deplored
moot here la the activity of those Amert
oans who are more violent than Britons
themselves in the causa of England. Their
shoutings and their clamoring win no re
sponse here, and it Is quite well understood
that their efforts In the market place of
America have alienated sympathies which
