"It must also be considered that Wil on bad many thousands of ardent upporters in 191- who will not vote for him today. And it must also be remembered that in the party disaf fection a great mass of republicans did not vote at all. Changet Two Years Ago. "Turning to the election of Novem ber, 114, three important political facts are evident : "1. The republicans carried upon national issues states that would give a clear majority in the electoral col lege and elect a republican president. "2. The democratic majority in the present house is only the result of the progressive vote in certain districts of the country, and the democrats are really a minority party in the house of representatives. V Two-thirds of the progressive vote of has not only ceased to support third party candidates, but has returned to the support of repub lican principles and candidates. "Twenty-three states were carried by republicans with a total of 88 elec toral votes. This is a majority of twenty-two over the 60 necessary for a choice. In three states there was a division on :iatuv:.il isues. 1'htis. in ; Oregon, South !.ikota and Nevada democratic senators were elected , while lepuhlicati congressional dele gations were chosen. At this election .MO democratic members, of (he lower house of congress were chosen. In t hut v -nine of the congressional dis tnetv however, the progressive vote was laici than the democratic plural- n o that, had it not been for the .progressive vote, the democratic mem bership in the present bouse would be . onlv ll'I, with -MS necessary for a ma loulv. In tout states, California. i olorado, Indiana and Oregon, the 'progressive vote elected four demo j antic senators. I Moosers Lose Two Millions. "I think it is clearly evident what become o! the progressive vote f Vi2. The approximate figures showed a republican gam of J.489..S8S, over the republican presidential vole of I'MJ. -The progressive loss was J.507.811. "In the twenty-three states tamed by the republicans the republican plurality over the democratic vote was ,more than 1 .000,000. In I'MJ the Wtl- ; sou vote in the same states was larger than the Tatt vote by about as much. 'Of the total votes cast by the three parlies in these states in l'M4, the re publicans cast 4".n per cent, the demo- iCtats per cent and the progres sives 11.5 per cent. In 11J the presi dential vote was: Republicans. JH.4 per cent; democrats. .10.7 per cent; progressives, M.) per cent. Fight for Ten States, "It is interesting to note the results i from ten states in which republicans were not successful in the 1V14 elec tion, these being representative states in different sections of the country. In j the total votes cast in these ten the 1 democrats won bv a plurality of less than 21X1,000. In 1012 the democratic plurality in these same states was over 1,000.000. A very small percentage ! republican gain would have put three of thrse states into the republican col- titnn, as an increase of a little over i 5.100 republican votes would have carried Nebraska, Colorado and Maine with their twenty votes in the elec ' toral college. Following is the de railed vote of these states for 1"I4: 1 m the republicans ate fighting this year: California, Montana, Nevada, Arizona, Nebraska, South Dakota, Oregon, Missouri, Kentucky and Indiana. The total elector. 1 vote in these ten states is eighty-seven. '1 he republicans are pretty sure to carry practically all of these stales, but if you add only a third of this vote to tin- JKS Inun the states earned in 114. it makes the electoral vote for Mr. Hughes in the neighborhood of ,i!7. although I think it will go higher."

LABOR HEADS GIVEN VOTE OF CONFIDENCE Central Union Withdraws En dorsement from Publication Making Graft Charges. PUBLISHERS ARE SCORED The Central Labor union at its bi monthly meeting last evening passed a vote of confidence in the officers charged with grafting at the meeting two weeks ago. when David Coutts and William Castteman, publishers of the Unionist, accused Tom Reynolds, Jonas Wangberg and C. L. Shamp of making a profit from the contract for the Labor day program and other union activities. The endorsement of the Central La bor union was withdrawn from the Unionist, and a motion passed asking the two unions sending Coutts and Castleman to the centra! body to sub stitute acceptable delegates. Coutts and Castleman were in the hall and were bitterly assailed by Wangberg and Shamp, who dared them to press the charges they made two weeks ago, but provoked no response. A communication from the city clerk transmitting the reply of Com missioner Jardi;ie to the complaint of the labor unionists against the use of prisoners in contract work was read and bitterly condemned by the meet ing. Commissioner Jardine defended the practice on the grounds that men confined in the jail for a period of three months would be so deteriorated in a physical sense that they would he unable to do a hard day's work and would soon be forced hack to jail. He explained that the prisoners were not used on competitive work and that the ".-age scale was $2.2$ per day, of which the city received $1.25 and the prisoner the remainder. Al though the men were compelled to do the work, Commissioner Jardine said that they welcomed the chance to earn the money. He promised that if the labor unions would supply men to take the places of the prisoners that they would be withdrawn frum the work. The call for the meeting of the state federation was read and Robert ' Dunlap was elected to represent the Central Labor union as a delegate I Fremont on September 12. Tom Reynolds, the president of the body announced the members of the standing committee for the coming ) ear as follows: . 1.hw Committer A. C. Witxel, 11. Htlmer. M N .;riffli)i.
