Big Bet On Hughes Untaken..

Washington, Oct. 24.—Wilson supporters have failed to cover a single dollar of the $25,000 offered on Hughes ago by E. B. Johns, correspondent of the Army and Navy Journal, w<ho is understood to be acting for a group of army officers. Mr. Johns declared yesterday, although he was ready to place the money at prevailing odds, he had not received even an offer from democratic bettors. The bet has been posted in Washington and was published in a New York paper last week and widely commented upon. Mr. Johns is convinced that Wilson money this year is mostly of the stage variety.

Court Decides Voter Who Did Not Register Gets Ballot On Nov. 7.

Huntington, Ind., Oct. 25.—W. D. Hamer, special judge, decided this afternoon that the name of Heber Harter should be entered on the registration records of precinct 3, Huntington township, and ordered County Auditor Ovid Eviston, defendant in Harter’s mandamus action, to make the entry. Eviston had refused because Harter did not register in person or by affidavit. Harter was out of the city. Hamer’s decision nullifies the interpretation of the registration law under which the political parties have proceeded. Claude Cline, county attorney, was granted an appeal and an effort will be made to file briefs at once and obtain a ruling from the supreme court before the election.

Not Too Proud to Get Kicked—T. R.

North. Platte, Neib., Oct. 25. —A large crowd greeted Theodore Roosevelt here tonight when he made a ten-minute talk between trains. He declared that a man who is too proud to fight is not too proud to get kicked and that the same is true of nations. Three hundred Americans, he said, lost their lives in Mexico and those on the Lusitania because foreign nations concluded that the United States was too proud to fight. “I was president of the United States seven and one-half years,” declared Col. Roosevelt, in making a platform speech at Kearney, Neb., “and during that time no representative of a foreign power ever harmed a citizen of the United States because all knew that while I never picked a quarrel I was not too proud to fight.” In passing through Grand Island, Col. Roosevelt responded to calls for a speAffi, confining his remarks to the Mexican situation, ti

Democracy on Thin Ice.

Republicans do not have to rely on -’claims,” but can poirrt to facts in answer to the effort the democrats are making to create the impression that the “trend is toward Wilson.” The democrats talk about a “drift” in California, in that state voters have registered themselves as republicans compared with 77,830 democrats. The figures in some other states “claimed” <by the democrats are*: Washington, 214,600 registered as republicans and 34,970 as democrats: Michigan 284,640 republicans and 29,935 democrats; New York 298,097 republicans and 158,718 democrats; Illinois 420,959 republicans and 189,343 as democrats; New Jersey 187,414 republicans anff 119,513 democrats. The states in that list cast 123 electoral votes, and there is not one in the lot that : is not expected to go republican by those who are posting bets on the election. The democrats are conceding New England’s fortyfour votes to Hughes. No democratic politician who would have his judgment respected will contend that Hughes can not count on Pennsylvania, lowa, Minnesota, North and South Dakota, Kansas, Utah, Oregon and Delaware. Those twenty-one states practically insure Hughes 262 electoral votes —within four of enough to elect. -t- Wilson is certain of 136 votes m, the twelve states of the solid south. He must get 130 from the remaining fifteen states,, a majority of which are normally republican, without permitting Hughes to get so many as four votes. The list includes Orizona, Colorado, Idaho, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico', Ohio, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming. A slip in any one, excepting Arizona or Wyoming, which have only three votes each, would be fatal to Wilson’s chances.

RESPECTED NATION IS DEMANDED

Hughes Makes Appeal to Young Americans to Cast Vote For Efficiency. New York, Oct. 25.—Charles E. Hughes tonight told an audience in the Academy of Music, Brooklyn, why, in his opinion, the young men of the nation should support the republican Licket at the .next election. Five chief reasons were cited' In answer o the question: “What sort of a county does Young America, vibrant with patriotism, desire?” Mr. Hughes answered tho question in paH as follows: “First, he wants a country respected throughout the world. He wants a country which respects the dignity of its citizenship.

- “Second, Young America must desire a country that is prepared for every emergency. “Third, Young America, looking nb«ad. must dpsirp that wfopn peace is once more restored we shall contribute to its maintenance by doing our proper share to secure a practicable and effective international organization in the interests of peace. “Fourth, Young America wants government in the open by visible constitutional instruments, not by unofficial spokesmen or invisible authority. He also wants a government not sectional, but truly national. “Fifth, Young America wants industrial preparedness.” In citing his second reason, Mr. Hughes assailed the administration for lack of preparedness, referred to “manifest defects” in the army reorganization bill, declared that the navy department had “incapable leadership,” and touched on a recommendation by Secretary Garrison in June, 1914, that the regular .rmy be filled to its “full strength,” a recommendation, Mr. said, that had been ignored. “I am informed upon competent authority,” Mr. Hughes said, “that had there been the addition to the regular army then desired by Secretary Garrison, it would not have been necessary to send our national guard to the border.” “Secretary Gdrrison recommended

in his report for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1914, ‘the existing organization,’ which composed the aggregate mobile fotces of the regular army, should be filled up ‘to their full strength.’ This, he said, would require 25,00 Q men. He also recommended that with this increase there should be authority to obtain 1,000 more officers. I understand that his recommendation was ignored.”

Five Thousand Border Soldiers Went On Riot Last Week.

Knox Republican. Five thousand soldiers stationed at Llano Grande Went on a riot one night last week. Among the rioters were two Indiana regiments and troops from Minnesota and Nebraska. The men are dead tired of being kept on the bonier. They marched in a body to the headquarters of. General Lewis and demanded to be send home. They do not know what they are there for, but most of them believe it ~ purely a matter of politics. One m who tried to quell the riot was told to get out of the way or stand the consequences. The First Indiana infantry, to which our boys are attached, did not participate in the disturbance. Letters have been received here telling of the affair. Our boys expected to be ordered out with loaded guns to quell the riot. TJie daily nowspapers have said nothing about the row and nothing would be known of it outside the camp had not our boys told o£ it in their letters. Some of the married men who have returned from Llano Grande say they are not surprised at the uprising. They expressed fear that more would follow mdess -StHneUwng" -done ro sat; st v the troops as to why they are being held there. The government ought to have Captain Schricker go down and make these men a patriotic speech.
