"President Wilson will carry New York State with its forty-five electoral votes by more than 100,000." This is the state merit of National Democratic Chair man Vunce McCormick. According to McCormick, never at this stage of a national campaign have indications of Democratic success in New York been so positive. ft, -MJSk A Mary Pickforcl In Hulda from Holland int 'aramoi Special Production Hulda from Holland has been classed by critics as Mary Picford's best characteri zation. ,' It is one of the choicest blendings of humor and tender pathos that has been shown on the screen for some time.

BY GEORGE HILL. (Written for the Republican Na tional Committee.) New York, Oct. 12. Has not President Wilson won the solid support of organized labor by his handling of the railway contro versy and 8-hour bill ? When the Re publican managers contend that Mr. Wilson has not won the support of la bor do they not imply that organized labor is ungrateful ? These questions are asked so frequently that a reply is pertinent. President Wilson has not won the solid support of organized labor by his course regarding the railway in crease bill because: (1) There is no solid labor vote. Men who labor differ just as widely in their political opinions as any other class of men, so there is no solid la bor vote. (2) 1 In the railway affair Mr. Wil son did nothing whatever to shorten, the working day of railway employes, even the small percentage in the Rail way Brotherhoods. He merely se cured for the Brotherhood men an increase of pay, estimated at from 20 to 25 per cent. For the great mass of railway employes ha secured noth ing whatever. (8) By surrendering the principle or arbitration, Mr. Wilson estab lished a precedent which is more than likely to work great injury to hun dreds of thousands of union men whose organizations are not suf ciently powerful to win. simply by strikes, although they have in the past and would have continued to win jus tice, or a measure of justice, by ar bitration. Every labor man knows that most of that which has been won, both as to better pay and improved conditions, has been won by enlist ing the support of public opinion and then procuring an arbitration which resulted in an award which, if it did not them full justice, at least made progress in that direction. When Mr. Wilson discarded the ar bitration method of . determining whether the Bortherhood men were entitled to more pay, he paved the way for employers all over the coun try to discard it, and hany able labor men believe that, regardless of the immediate benefit to the Brother hoods, organized labor will suffer in the long run from the President's course. Finally, by leading Congress to fix a specific wage increase for the Brotherhood men,, Mr. Wilson has paved the way for" Congress to fix by law the wages of all workers for com mon carriers with the inevitable ac companiment of compulsory service. Teh answer to the second is that there is grave question whether or ganized labor as a whole has anything to be grateful to Mr. Wilson for. Y. M. C. A. Campaign for $2,650. Baker, Oct. 12.

BY GEORGE CREEL. -(Written for the Democratic National Committee.) New York, Oct. 12. Woodrow Wil son stands for courage and achieve ment; Charles E. Hughes stands for evasion and criticism. No citizen is in doubt ,as to the President's position on all the great questions of the day. What he has done is a matter of record; what he intends to do is set forth in simple, understandable English. What citi zen is able to say what Mr .Hughes would have done or what he will do? He quarrels meanly and persistent ly with every one of the great laws that Woodrow Wilson has driven through. Currency and tariff legis lation, income and inheritance taxes, workmen's , compensation, shipping bill, rural credits, trade commission, and even the child labor law .have been made the targets of his peevish ness, but not once has ho dared to say: "I will repeal them." He attacks Wilson's Mexican policy, but when pressed for his own atti tude, takes refuge in the coy state ment: "I will bo firm."' He docs not scruple to make political capital out of the Lusitania's dead, but will not say what he himself would have done. Belgium figures in his speeches, but he declines to state whether or not he would have had the United States pro test. The Navy bill, indorsed by Ad miral Dewey as the "best ever passed," and the Army bill alike re ceive his censure, but no human power is able to drag a word from him with regard to what he considers "ade quate" preparedness. His lips were sealed during the days when the Eight Hour bill was before Congress. As leader of his party he sent no word to Republican senators and representa tives asking them to vote against the measure, though a filibuster could have defeated it. But before the ink was dry on the President's signature he burst out in noisy denunciation. Even so, he does not say: "I will re peal it Never was the issue so clear cut between courage and cowardice, between honesty and hypocrisy, be tween performance and protestation. On the one hand stands a President who has given peace with honor, pre paredness without militarism and prosperity with justice. On the other stands a Candidate without an issue, without a principle, without a policy. The Dream. I dreamed a strange dream. Flowers bloomed all about. And there were butterflies upon the breeze. . And laughing brooks that gurgled to 'bright seas, And lakes that bass leaped in, and sil ver trout. But while I watched, the sun went slowly out; And there came distant sound of fall ing trees; And men and women sank upon their knees. And everything was swallowed up in doubt. Then, to the martial roll of fife and drum, Corps upon corps I saw vast armies come. Endless a thousand men in every line; And at the front a iboy marched on ahead, Bearing a banner with the awful sign: We are the avenging Armies of the Dead! H.
