SEE HUGHES VICTORY
WITHOUT EVEN BREAK
IN DOUBTFUL STATES
New Tork, Oct. 28.-—Wilson has the
Troth; Hughes has tho votes.
The apathy of the present campaign
exists largely In ths minds of the poli
ticians.
These conclusions are Inevitable after
the most casual discussion among busi
nessmen and workinguien In New York.
Only the politicians are apathetic.
The businessmen on the contrary are
"worked up to a high pitch of Interest
In the forthcoming election. So are the
■workingmen. The latW are not all for
Wilson by a jugful. Nor are the busi
nessmen unanimous for Hughes, al
though eight out of ten are going to
vote for him on the ground that he
"would make u better president.
Confusion comes only from talking to
the politicians and campaign managers.
Both Chairman McCormlck, of the
Democratic National Committee, and
Chairman Willco.x, of the Republican
National Committee, are confident.
Each side make large claims. Which
side deserves the greater credence can
be judged from the fact that Mr. Will
cox claims no Southern State for Mr.
Hughes, while McCormlck claims Penn
sylvania for Mr. Wilson.
Party Lines I.oosening;
Reports have been received at both
headquarters Indicating a loosening of
party lines. Tho Republican reports
show some defection frorti the Republi
can ranks for Wilson: the Democratic
reports show some defection from the
Democratic, ranks for Hughes.
Getting down to cases the Democrats
re relying almost entirely upon the
labor vote to re-elect Wilson. This lias
been the one soft spot In the Republican
campaign. President Wilson and the
Democratic Congress surrendered to the
railway brotherhoods and gave them the
■wage Increase they demanded.
In tha last few days however, there
have been evidences that even organ
ized labor, of which there are about
3.000,000, In comparison with about 18,-
000,000 not organized, is resisting pres
sure from its own leaders.
But laboring men are able to think
out problems for themselves. There has
never been a time in the history of the
country when the labor vote has been
delivered en bloc to any political party.
There are Republican laborlngmen and
Democratic laboring men. There is a
growing conviction that they will stick
to their parties.
l.abor Turns to I.argrr Issues
Senator Boies Penrose, of Pennsyl
vania, and Senator Weeks, of Massa
chusetts. two of the seasoned leaders
on the Republican side, lately have
been devoting considerable attention to
the labor situation and they find that
NO PEACE UNTIL U.S.
IS PREPARED—HUGHES
Newark. N. J., Oct. 28. Charles
E. Hughes told an audience of farm
ers here late to-day that America
tould have neither peace nor security
vintil she was prepared to maintain
unflinchingly the known rights of her
citizens on land and sea.
"Our opponents have told us in very
explicit terms," he said, "that the
constitutional rights of American
citizens should follow them through
out the world and that wherever they
were lawfully following their business
they should have full protection for
their lives and property. That prin
ciple I believe in, but performance
ias not matched promises.
"We shall have no peace, no secur
ity, unless we maintain our self re
epect, unless we have the esteem and
friendship of all nations, unless the
American flag means justice, cour
teous treatment, but firm and un
flinching insistence upon American
rights with respect to lives, property
and commerce, on land and sea
throughout the world."
Mr. Hughes spoke in the little opera
house. Scores of farmers arrived too
late to find room in the building.
The candidate assailed the Demo
cratic party as one "of broken prom
ises," citing among other things, the

Loss of Constanza Is
Hard Blow to Rumania;
Cut Off From Russia
Berlin, Oct. 25 (by wireless). —Com-
menting on the victory of Field Mar
el-.al von Mackensen's armies in the
Rumanian province of Dobrudja. the
military critic of the Overseas News
Agency writes:
"The capture of Constanza by Bul
parian, German and Turkish troops
under command of yield Marshall von
Mackensen is the hardest blow Ru- '
i .anians have received during the en
tire campaign. Through it the Ru
manians have lost their largest sea
port. a port noted in international
trade for its shipments of grain and
petroleum. Simultaneously the Ru
manians lost their main line of com
munication with Russia byway of the
Black Sea, a loss which is bound to
have a far-reaching consequence for
Rumania in carrying on her military
operations.
"Russia has been able to send to her
ally byway of Constanza in large

found their way into interior Rumania (

the laborlngmen are giving more con
sideration to the larger Issues than to
class Issues. There Is a growing re
alisation among tiiem that Charles E.
Hughes said something when he re
marked that the best friend of labor
was tho friend of justice. They have
grasped the fact that national pros
perity is essential to Individual pros
perity: that the present low tarllT law
Invited and brought n flood of Imports
before the war and that It will leave
Industry and wages unprotected ufter
the war.
"He kept us out of the war" makes
,no social appeal to the workingnian.
The latter knows that no president in
] the history of the country ever wanted
. to go to war; that Charles E. Hughes
is more likely to preserve peace with
the firm foreign policy he favors than
is President Wilson with his ever
changing policy.
There Is no Issue between peace and
war; there is an Issue between a policy
that will protect American lives and
property abroad and policy that boldly
declares that protection ends at the
v. ater's edge.
There Is an Issue between an Ameri
can market at the mercy of the highly
j organised nations of Europe after the
war and and American market amply
| protected and safeguarded by a tariff
J that will equal the cost of production
J at home and abroad.
Questions Kr the Voters
It has lately been made plain to the
laborlngmen of the country as well as
the businessmen that the choice now Is
between an inefficient administration
and an efficient administration: between
a tariff for revenue only which produces
insufficient revenue and a tariff which
will protect Industry and wages; be
t.veen heavy taxation antf freedom from
taxation; between national weakness
and vaccilation and national strength
and resolute honor.
Senator Penrose said to-day that as
matters now stand the only way Wilson
could be re-elected would be by captur
ing New Tork.
And not even the Democrats expect
to do this..
Right here where all the political
prophets assemble it Is curious to note
that while the Democrats claim every
thing- else they admit that it looks
pretty bad for them in New York. If
they were to assemble in any other
State they probably would And the same
condition, because while Wilson has
the froth—while the greatest noise is
made on the Democratic side In this
campaign—Hughes, as shown In the
registration and primaries, has the
votes.
alleged failures to observe the merit
system in making appointments and
to reduce the high cost of living.
"Our opponents told us they were
sOing to reduce the high cost of liv
ing," he said. "We now have the
higher cost of living. They have had
a certain policy to which for gener
ations they have adhered. I do not
regard it as American policy. It is
very obviously unsuited to the econ
omic needs at this time.
"We have now a temporary pros
i perity due to the abnormal conditions
! brought about by European war. But
[what are the conditions we have had?
lls it possible that we can now forget
the conditions that existed In this
I country before the war? Consider tlie
business depression before the war.
, consider the serious condition with
j respect to many enterprises through
out this country. Plants were closed,
others were on reduced time, thou
i sands of men were walking the streets
i of our large cities looking for work.
( It was a day of soup houses."
Mr. Hughes declared that to pre
j vent a "repetition" of business depres

| Republican doctrine of protection to
American industries."
loss of Constanza is of decisive impor
tance as regards the military situation
in Dobrudja. The railroad line from
Corstanza to Tchernavoda is already
partly in the hands of the allied Ger
mans. Turks and Bulgarians. East of
Murfatlar this line has already been
crossed by the attacking armies and
\on Mackensen's left wing is ap
proaching the Tchernavoda. For these
reasons the section of the railroad be
tween Murfatlar and Tchernavoda is
also apparently without value to the
Rumanians. Thus the quick transport
of troops and artillery to especially
threatened points of the Dobrudja
front is rendered impossible. Further
more, an excellent base of operations
lias been taken from the Rumanians
and Russians.
"The encircling movement by Teu
tonic forces at Hermannstadt changed
the Transylvania adventure of the Ru
manians into a speedy and complete
defeat. In the same way ther capture
of Constanza and the interruption of
railroad, communication of the Ru
irisnians constitutes a decisive blow to
ihetn in the Dobrudja theater. The
advance planned by the Rumanians
and Russians through Dobrudja against
the Bulgarians and the line of com
munication between Sofia and Con
stantinople has thus been frust/ated."

forces in the campaign for the inva
sion of Rumania. The men went at
their work in almost a holiday spirit,
for it Is with a sense of deep relief that
the Germans and Hungarians here,
officers and men alike, have left be
hind them the trench warfare of other
regions and thrown themselves into
open field maneuvers against the Ru
manians.
It was scarcely believable that after
1 two years of strenuous life at the front
infantrymen should rush to the as
| sault with songs, yet it is a fact, to
j which the universal feeling here of
' dealing with a foe who has yet to learn
every trick of modern warfare contri
butes much. German and
Hungarian infantrymen were about to
j rush into th fire of Rumanian rifles
| and machine guns they viewed the
: situation complacently saying the
j worst of open Held work was prefer-
I able to trench drudgery. Officers ex
| plained that the change virtually
j would make the troops fresh forces,
owing to the novelty and the face that
j the central powers troops are best
suited for maneuvering because of
their training along that line.
Followed By Fire
The Predeal battle is one of the few
open field actions witnessed in this
j war by correspondents who were able
Ito approach within less than 3,000
i yards of the skirmishing line. At 11
■ a. m. German artillery opened a desul
tory fire on the Rumanian trenches on
' Susaiul mountain. 6.000 feet high,
which an hour later reached its max
\ imum fury. The fire was then directed
1 mainly against the trenches some 500
: feet below the summit. For a quarter
of an hour the Rumanians stuck to
j their trenches. Word coming from
the artillery spotters that the Ru
i manians thus far seemingly had not
I oeen impressed, the artillery increased
j its lire. The Rumanian infantry still
[held on for a time, but finally broke
TVcross the slope like a swarm of ants
as the German and Hungarian infan
i try came ill view. General artillery
| followed up the fleeing Rumanians
with shrapnel and the manner in
which the fire pursued the Rumanians
appeared almost uncanny,
j On a ridge leading from Susaiul
• mountain the Rumanians finally reach
iod their second position. A lull en
: sued. A few minutes before 2 to. m.
;it was decided to resume operations.
German artillery ably supported by
i the work of the morning and the. in
j fantry then rushed forward. In a
I comparatively short time the objective
was gained.
I The ground being extremely difficult
j the Rumanians endeavored to forward
I infantry reinforcements through the
i town of Predeal. with the result that
| heavy German and Hungarian guns
i inside of fifteen minutes blew up half
!of the town. The Russian forces were
; obliged to seek shelter in the forest
■above the town, passing through Ger
man infantry fire at long range.
The Predeal battle was not remark
able for severity or artillery fire or
i other action; but great interest centers
| in it because German and Hungarian
; infantry, unaccustomed to mountain
j fighting was able to cope with the dif-
I Acuities of the terrain.
I ack .Military Knowledge
The Rumanians on the other hand
! showed lack of military knowledge.
; The efficiency of tlieir troops suffered
I because much of the artillery had been
j taken out of range for fear of being
[ cut off. The Rumanian artillery
i therefore made an unusually poor
showing. The Rumanian infantry d'd
relatively better but it was at the mer
cy of the murderous German And
Hungarian shells. ~

USE CARE BUYING
CHILDREN'S SHOES
Should Never Be Purchased by
Arbitrary Standard
Sizes
"Children's shoes should never be
: bought by the arbitrary size standard
j set by the makers, that all children
i of so many years have feet of such
1 a size," says Mrs. Jean Kane Foulke,
j farm adviser on home economics for
the State Department of Agriculture
| in a bulletin for farmers' families just
issued at the State Capitol. "The size
: of a child's foot may vary quite as
! much in prooprtion to the child, as
j one child may vary in size from an-
I other of the same age.
! "The number of years a child has
! lived has nothing to do with the size
\of its feet and it is no uncommon
thing to find growing children with
| feet grown out of all proportion to
' the rest of their bodies. Fortunately
in most cases this corrects itself and
I in a few years the children will de-
I velop and grow in comparison with
j their overgrown 'pedal extremities."
! "If children's shoes are bought
■ without being 'trted on' or no measure
is taken of the foot that is to wear
them, the results are bound to be
disastrous. From inuncy many
i children suffer from having to wear
too narrow or too short shoes in
| consequence! It is a great temptation
when baby is 'first shortened' to put
i on little white or light colored shoes.
| 'The first size' of course are right and
on they go: At first baby does not
j mind for the little shoes are soft kid
| with flexible soles and no weight is
put on the tiny feet, but presently the
little fellow wants to stand and walk
and what then'.' The little feet have
grown, the pressure of weight forces
1 them down and out and the dainty
little shoes—the first size, have begun
their deadly work. Baby's toes are
1 cranjped and jammed until the shoe
tip gives way. Baby is cross and
irritable and nobody knows why! (Did
you ever wear a tight or narrow
shoe?) Father comes home some eve
j nlng with a new pair of shoes again,
i 'Just baby's stze," of course, because
the man said that was the size an
eighteen months' old baby ought to
! wear.
"Mistreatment continues year after
I year until when the school years ar
: rive heavy strong shoes are bought
i; that will 'stand wear.' shoes with
boxed toes and stiff unbending soles
but still the 'right size" (by age) for
John or Mary lo wear—result, crook
-1 ed toes, corns and bunions, ingrowing
toe nails, big toe joints and last, but
not least, a heavy, ungraceful walk
1 and step, in nine cases out of ten. All
. this and to say nothing of the results
of the nervous tension and strain the
child has been under, often uncon
i sciously to itself but there neverthe
less, because of the crowding and
actual twisting of its feet.
"When circumstances are such that
a child cannot be taken to the store
and fitted then it should be made to
: stand with its weight solidly on Its
' feet in stockings or barefooted on a
i sheet of paper and an outline of the
; foot should be drawn in lead pencil,
' care being taken to hold the pencil
|at right angles to the foot and not
allow it to slip under the curve of the
| side. This will give the exact size,
i J length and breadth of the child's foot
and should be taken to the store and
[ the size taken from it by which the
shoes are bought.

governor Speaks
For Hughes in N. Y.
Governor Brumbaugh in a speech
j at New York City last night declared
that the election of Charles E. Hughes
to the presidency was essential if
America was to have a dignilled place
in the counsel of the nations. The
speech was heard by a large audience.
In part the Governor said/
| "We have a perfect right to demand
such a consistent, steadfast and digni
| tied foreign policy as will make for
i permanent peace throughout the civ
ilized world. We have never been in
any danger of war, and the fallacy of
the remark that President Wilson has
kept us out of war is so obvious that
It ought not to catch even the most
I stupid. What we want is not a vacfl- 4
lating and uncertain truckling to the
changing conditions of other countries
but a policy so clearly cut and defU"*
nitely announced and of world interest
as to make us loved at home and rev
ered abroad. This attitude of the ad
ministration is the only permanent and
potential safeguard of our permanent
peace and progress.
"We are a great industrial country.
Our varied industries are the source
of much of our activity and prosperity.
Our millions of v>eople, are essential
believers in Republican principles.
Our vast development is founded upon
Republican policies. Let us see to it
I that, under wise leadership, by a
union of protective forces, she is as
suredly and splendidly Republican in
November next.
"We have nominated in open con
vention for the presidency a man who
in character, capacity, loyalty and
achievement exemplifies tho best in
our American life. I ask ail true lie
publicans to give their hearty and
lively support to Charles K. Hughes
for President of the United
States. Let us use our utmost en
deavor to elect with him a Republican
Congress and then we can sit with dig
nity in the counsels of nations and
legislate with equity for our whole
people."
