HUGHES VICTORY
LEADERS PREDICT
Democrats Must Get 140 Elec
toral Votes Outside of Solid
South to Win
Washington, D. C., June 28.—With
the chairman of the Republican Na
tional committee named by Charles E.
Hughes, with the Progressive party
completely eliminated, and with
Hughes and Roosevelt In complete ac
cord, Republican leaders in Washing
ton predicted that there would be a
landslide for the Republican party at
the polls next November.
The Mexican situation, these leaders
said, doubtless would be the chief is
sue of the campaign. They admitted
that if the landslide did not material
ize, New York would prove the pivotal
State. Speculating upon the claims of
the Democrats, the Republican leaders
said that without New York it would
be almost Impossible for the Demo
cratic party to be continued in power.
It. was stated by leading Republicans
that they did not underestimate the
strength that comes to a party in con
trol of the government. They were
aware that the changing situation with
Mexico might have an effect on the
election, but asserted that the present
indecision of the administration was
causing resentment throughout the
Nation.
Wilson Needs New York
It is inconceivable that the Repub
licans might develop such strength
that New York would not be neces
sary to them in order to win. On the
other hand, the indications now are
that President Wilson cannot be elect
ed again unless he wins New York, the
Empire State, with its phalanx of
4 5 electoral votes. Here again, land
slides are not taken into account.
Politicians assert that, with Roose
velt and a large share of the Bull
Moose supporting Hughes, Wilson will
not have any such walk-away, as in
1912, even though he should be des
tined once more to win.
The Democratic campaign manage
ment is not going to scatter its am
munition so far as the national cam
paign is concerned.
It will center on New York, New
Jersey, Ohio, Indiana and a small
number of other States.
Building on the foundation of the
solid South, the Democrats will try to
capture enough electoral votes outside
that domain to win.
The Electoral Vote

lows:
Alabama 12

Virginia 12

West Virginia 8
Wisconsin 13
Wyoming 3
Total 531
Necessary to elect. 266.
The Democratic Task
In the States of the solid South, that
Is, in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida,
Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North
Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee,
Texas and Virginia, there are 126 elec
toral votes.
This means the Democrats, to elect |
Wilson again, must get 140 electoral
votes outside the South.
It is admitted by the political wise
men that they may win the election if
they can carry New York. Here, for
Instance, is a group of electoral votes
which would elect:
Solid South 126
New York 45
New Jersey 14
Indiana 15
Missouri IS
Kentucky 13
Oklahoma 10
Maryland . 8
California 13
Colorado 6
Total 268
This give the Democrats the benefit
of the doubt in the border States of
Maryland, Kentucky, Missouri and Ok
lahoma. Nearly all, if not all, are
fairly doubtful.
If New York be eliminated from the
Democratic list, then the prophets de
clare the Democratic chances are ex
tremely slim.
On paper, one can figure out where
they might make UP for the deficien
cy. For instance, they might capture
the twenty-four electoral votes of
Ohio, get the rest of the States enum
erated in the list just given, and sev
eral small States, having enough elec
toral votes with Ohio to overcome the
loss of the Empire State.
It is a fair assumption, however,
that if the Republicans sweep New
York they will carry New Jersey,
whose fourteen votes in the electoral
college are not to be despised.
Republicans believe they will carry
New York "hands down." The word
borne here from New York is that the
leaders there are highly confident of
winning.
If their calculations should prove to
be well founded, Mr. Hughes should
sit in the White House afternoon of
March 4.
REPAIR CARS OX DECREASE
A statement covering the number of
freight cars on the lines of the Penn
sylvania Railroad east and west of
Pittsburgh stored and awaiting re
pairs on June 24, 1916, shows that
there were 7,604 bad-order cars on
the lines east and 6,533 on the lines
west, a total of 14,137 cars awaiting
repairs as of that date; a decrease of
20,119 cars, or 58 per cent., as com
pared with those of April 1, 1915.
There are less than 7,700 bad-order
freight cars on the lines east of Pitts
burgh, which represents only 4% per
cent, of the total freight car equip
ment, an unusually low figure con
sidering that all of the freight cars
tare In active service.

PEXNSY DECLARES DIVIDEND
Directors of the Pennsylvania Rail
road yesterday declared the usual
quarterly dividend of 1 % per cent,
payable August 31. Directors of the
Pennsylvania Company declared a
semiannual dividend of 4 per cent,
as compared with a dividend of 2 per
cent, declared this time last year. In
1915 a total of 6 per cent, was patd,
in 1914 a total of 4 per cent, was paid
and prior to that time, for a number
of years, 7 per cent, was paid, 4 per
cent, being declared In December and
3 per cent. In June. By their action
yesterday the directors have appar
ently placed the stock upon an 8 per
cent. basis and as all of the Pennsyl
vania Company stock is owned by the
Pennsylvania Railroad the latter com
pany will receive in dividends from
this source $6,400,000 for the current
year as against $4,800,000 in 1915.
STRAW RAINCOATS OF JAPAN
There is just one raincoat that lives
up to its rainproof claims, and, in fact,
has lived up to them for a thousand
years and more, and that Is the rice
straw combination worn by the Nip
pon, says the Popular Science Month
ly for July.
In addition to being light, porous
and warm in cold, wet weather it
serves as a "blind" for the wary fish
which can discern no danger lurking
in a fishing-pole protruding from
what appears to be a mere sheath of
grass. A Nippon angler seated on a
river bank wearing his rice-straw
cloak resembles so closely a tuft of
rank grass or a growing scrub that
the most preyed-tipon animals fail to
detect danger.
From the score of waterproof ma
terials and impervious clothing there
is a new Paris product which is said
to be very effective, providing one
doesn't approach too close to the fire.
It is highly inflammable on chance
ignition, since its inner lining is
composed of guncotton sheeting.
There is also an English raincoat
which weighs but nine pounds when
dry, but which, when worn through
rain, will absorb water 'as readily as a
sponge. In an hour it has been known
to absorb six pounds of water, add
ing greatly to Its weight and acceler
ating physical exhaustion. Yes, It's
waterproof.

Operator's Sandwich
Cost Firm $89,698.76
Kansas City, Mo.—A jury in the
Federal Court charged the Missouri
District Telegraph Company $89,698.76
for one sandwich. That is what the
company must pay Morris & Co., pack
ers because ail operator for the tele
graph company was out eating a sand
wich when a fire alarm came in from
the packing plant, July 7, 1912.
The alarm did not reach the fire de
partment immediately, the packing
company charged, and because of the
delay, the fire was disastrous. The
packing company sued for $140,000.
The Jury awarded the verdict on a
basis of the actual loss. '
