Ticket to Have More Than 300
Votes in Electoral College
Is Claim
Washington, D. C., Sept. 22. As
serting that the Republican presiden
tial nominee will receive more than
800 votes in the electoral college, the
Republican Publicity Association, In a
statement, predicts that Hughes and
Fairbanks will be swept Into office by
a greater majority than was at first
conceded by the most optimistic party
leaders. Basing its claim on an analy
sis of the Maine vote, the statement
cays: *
"Following the forecast of the elec
toral vote which this association issued
some weeks ago and which was based
Upon the vote cast for members of
Congress in 1914, the figures from the
recent election in Maine afford con
clusive ground for claiming the elec
tion of Hughes and Fairbanks with
more than 300 votes In the electoral
college, a majority of which Is only
266.
"It makes no difference what angle
of approach is employed. The Maine
election points convincingly to Repub

of Republicanism were working to
gether as they did this year, the total
vote was 138,791. Governor Plalsted,
a Democrat, was then seeking re-elec
tion Just as Governor Curtis was this
year. He received 67,748 votes, as
against 71,043 cast for William T.
Haines, who was elected.
"The plurality of the united Repub
licans of Maine In 1912 was 3,395.
This year it is 13,607, whereas the in
crease In the total vote Is 9,506 —this
year's plurality being 706 larger than
the increase in the total vote plus the
plurality of four years &,go. In this
connection it is interesting to note that
Governor Plaisted, when seeking re
election in 1912, received 67,748 votes,
while Governor Curtis, on his second
trip to the polls, got only 67,3 95.
"In other words, the Democratic vote
of Maine is stationary, while the Re
publican vote has Increased more than
16 per cent, over that of 1912—even
though that earlier vote contained the
btrength of both elements of the party.
Forecast of 849 Votes
"Applying this percentage to the
vote of 1912 In the several States of
the Union, It means that Hughes and
Fairbanks will carry not only the
States which gave a clear Republican
plurality in the congressional vote of
two years ago, but will gain, in addi
tion, Arizona, Indiana, Kansas, Ken
tucky, Maine, Maryland, Montana, Ne
braska. Ohio and Tennessee—and -will
have 349 votes in the electoral college
to Wilson and Marshal"s 142.
"Comparing this year's vote for Gov
ernor in Maine with that of two years
ago as cast for members of Congress,
we find that the Republfcan strength
has increased 34.12 per cent., while the
Democratic strength has gained only
11.06 per cent. Two years ago there
were 60,683 votes cast for Democratic
candidates for Congress in Maine, the
Republicans having 60,318 and the
Progressives 17,958.
"This year a Republican governor
elect gets 80,902 to his Democratic op
ponent's 67,395, showing the Repub
lican strength to be 2,626 more than
the combined vote of the Republicans
and Progressives in 1914. Of the total
gain registered the Republicans have
taken 80.4 per cent.; the Democrats
have only 19.6 per cent.
"Assuming this percentage to repre
sent the division of the former Pro
gressive vote between the two parties,
and applying it to the vote of the other
States as cast either two or four years
ago, our Democratic friends are again
confronted with the loss of the elec
toral college by a wide margin.
"The issues upon which the Presi
dent has chosen to go to the country
were vigorously presented in Maine by
five members of his Cabinet and by
senators, congressmen, Federal officials
of all grades and spellbinders of every
degree. The 'peace' and the 'pros
perity' -which we are told are ours and
which, we are assured, comes from
Mr. Wilson's benevolent hand, were
eloquently depicted In every city, every
\illage, every crossroads, even, in
Maine—and Maine has registered her
opinion of that. 'peace' and of that
'prosperity.' Her opinion is also that
of the country—and a few weeks more
of 'watchful waiting' will demon
strate it."

I Intrigue Against Hucria
j As a climax to charges that Presl
[ dent Wilson meddled in the internal
affairs of Mexico to overthrow Gen
j oral I-luerta and thereby plunged that
| country into a state of anarchy, which
resulted In the indescribable atrocities
I J? 6 ,' oss °' man y American TTves,
Mr. Hughes told large audiences yes
| tcrday 41iat he had obtained definite
I proof to back up what he said. Re
ferring to the early stages of the
troubles in Mexico during the present
I at > 7 , ' nist ''atlon, he exclaimed:
j I have only recently received this
I authentic information of the actual in-
I ructions that were given with respect
to the government of Mexico, such as
Mexico then had. John Und was au
thorized by the Executive to state this
I proposition to a minister of another
| government, and this is the authorized
I statement:
" 'Huerta will be put out if he does
i "i? Ff*' ou *' "' s preferred that it
snould be accomplished by domestic
, meanti if possible, but if it cannot be
done by domestic means other means
1 | adequate for the purpose will be re
sorted to'."
Mr. Lind at that time was the per
| Eonal representative of President Wil
i f,1 n wns sen t into Mexico on con
lidential business. Mr. Hughes did not
give the source of his information nor
aid he Identify the "minister of an
other government."
After repeating that recognition or
nonrecognition of Huerta was not the
point at Issue, he said:
"But the one thing which was not
proper and which had no basis for it
in international law or in proper usages
between nations was to conduct a per
sonal war on Huerta for his extermi
nation from Mexican politics. Yet that
was what was done. The great duty of
protecting American lives and prop
erty was left unperformed while an
unofficial spokesman was sent to
Huerta to inform him not simply that
he would not be recognized, but that
i he must eliminate himself from Mexi
can politics. He was told by this un
official spokesman that he could not
even be a candidate at a Mexican
election.
"We have been told in recent days
that small States should have the re
spect that, great States enjoy. We were
told by the administration only a few
days ago that qur influence upon this
hemisphere really depended upon our
demonstrating to our that
we had no desire offici 0 -ilv to inter
meddle with their affairs or to control
their internal administration. It was
said that we must have a demon
stration of our absolute good faith in
dealing with those neighboring nations.
Yet the truth is that we did inter
meddle with these affairs in a way
which forfeited to us the esteem that
we should have enjoyed, and finally re
sulted in leaving Mexico to the rav
ages of revolution without protection
of our citizens or the citizens of any
other country. We left them to an
anarchy which was indescribable and
to atrocities which will not bear repe
tition in polite society."
"Departed from American Policy"
Referring to the Instructions he said
were given Lind by the President. Mr.
Hughes said that there was no basis
for such instructions in the recognition
of small States. He continued:
"There is no basis for that in the
recognition of the sovereignty of our
neighbor. There is no basis "for that
in true and correct American policies.
We departed from American policy
and left our citizens to suffer from the
barbarity which resulted when all gov
ernment was destroyed and when an
archy was supreme in Mexico. It is a
deplorable recital."
Mr. Hughes coupled this charge with
the added one that American inter
national prestige had been dealt a seri
ous blow by the Mexican policy and
that such proceedings resulted in en
mities which it takes generations to
dispel. He said:
"America Four Smiaro to the World"
"Our flag lias been subject to in
dignities because of the contempt that
we aroused. There is one way, and
one clear way, to secure the respect of
Mexico and of every other nation, and
to maintain our prestige and our in
fluence, one way to be really helpful,
and that is for America, erect in her
self-respect, to recognize the just de
mands of American citizenship and
protect American lives and propertv
throughout the world. And I stand
hero to say that, so far as I am con
cerned. if entrusted with executive re
sponsibility, I shall, to the utmost of
my powers, maintain American rights
on land and sea throughout the world
with respect to all nations as to Ameri
can lives, American property and
American commerce. We have no se
cret understandings, we have no in
trigues, we have no ulterior purposes.
We are net for this side or that side,
for this nation or that nation. I stand
here for the right of America four
square to the world."

8,934 Calder's Majority
With 47 Districts Out
New York, Sept. 22.—1f any doubt
existed whether or not William M.
Calder was chosen the Republican
nominee for the United States Senate,
It was eliminated yesterday by the late
primary returns. According to tha
figures from all but forty-seven elec
tion districts in the state, Mr. Calder's
majority was 8,93 4. As the/returns
yesterday swelled Mr. Calder's ma
jority, it is considered likely that the
total of his vote over that for Robert
Bacon will be just about 10,000.
The total vote, with the forty-seven
districts missing, was: Calder, 151,379;
Bacon, 142,445. In most counties from
which full returns have not been ob
tained Calder led.
Mr. Bacon yesterday visited Repub
lican national headquarters and ex
pressed to Chairman Willcox his will
ingness to do anything possible to aid
the campaign work. Mr. Willcox said
he most certainly would take advan
tage of Mr. Bacon's offer.

i so called," said Mr. Fess, "is misnamed
1 and its title is totally misleading. This
■ law is not a statute fixing the hours of
; labor, but it is an increased wage grab.
; This measure was born in fright, fath
ered by fear, cradled in partisan poll
| tics and carried through the final ac
tion under duress. Ido not believe the
, history of legislation furnishes a du
plicate of such action. This in my
judgment was the high-water mark of
( national humiliation, if not degrada-
I tion, as one member put It, as well as
. the low-water mark of naUonal honor
• and dignity. The Increase of wages
, may be warranted, I do not know;
, neither did any of us know.
, "This Congress is not different from
; the Sixty-third Congress, which took
the first step of a series of which this
panicky act is but the third step. The
first was when Congress obeyed the
demands of certain leaders to exempt
l labor unions from the operation of
• the Sherman anti-trust law. Then
came the second step, the Clayton bill,
which wrote into statute law the legal
exemption of certain classes of citi
zens—to be specific, labor unions—
from the operation of anti-trust laws.
Here by law we declare that certain
classes are free to do acts which if
i done by others would be criminal. In
a panic in the face of a threat to stop
all transportation unless certain con
ditions are met by a certain time this
Congress, the legislative body of 100,-
000,000 American freemen, legislates
upon a doubtful constitutional ques
tion, offers a remedy avert a threat
ened danger that may prove worse
than the disease.
"The abandonment of arbitration
when taken by the head of our govern
ment in an official command to the
Congress sets a precedent against the
best possible method of settling labor
disputes from which we will not re
cover soon.
"Two Acts of War" on Mexico
Claims that President Wilson has
"kept us out of war" are so untrue that
it is amusing to those who know the
facts, decalred Representative Charles
F. Curry, of California, to-day.
"President Wilson committed two
acts of war against Mexico. One pun
itive expedition far for the avowed
purpose of compelling Huerta to fire
a salute of twenty-one guns to our flag,
a number of American marines and
Mexicans were killed at Vera Cruz, the
supply of note paper at the White
House was exhausted, but the salute
was not fired. The second punitive
expedition wns after the raid on Col
umbus and was to 'get Villa dead or
I alive.' Villa still lives and is at lib
erty.
"The President called for a confer
ence of Mexican factions to establish
a de facto government, but said ho
would not recognize the leader of any
faction that failed to attend. Carran
za was the only leader that refused
topay attention to the conference and
President Wilsoh recognized him.
"The President has reiterated and
his mouthpieces have asserted so often
that he is entitled to the credit of
'keeping us out of the European war'
that many persons accept the state
ments as true. Nothing;.involve us
in that conflict unless vfe deliberately
cease to maintain strict neutrality and
blunder into it. The United States U
3,000 miles away from the European
conflict. Denmark, Holland, Sweden,
Norway and Switzerland are right at
the doors of the warring nations, and
yet these little countries are not in
volved. It is absurd for the Presi
dent's partisans to say that "he haa
kept us out of war.'
"The people have not forgotten that
after a conference with the President
on diplomatic complications of an
acute nature between our government
and one of the European belligerents
distinguished members of the Senate
Foreign Relations committee told Sen
ators and Representatives and even
stated to newspaper men that the
President had become very much ex
cited during the conference and in a
vehement manner had said, in effect,
'it might not be a bad thing for civili
zation and would hasten the end if the
United Stat"s would enter the war on
the side of the Allies.' "
