Hert, In charge of the "Western headquarters of the Republican party, today asserted that Charles E. Hughes will carry, all of the normally Republican states within the Jurisdiction of the Chicago headquarters and will . breals into the column of normally Democratic states, with Missouri and Kentucky. "There is no doubt whatever about the outcome in the West," said Mr. iiert. "Mr. Hughes will carry every Republican state beyond all question. lie has made a wonderful campaign in that section, he Is being ably supported all along the line and the state or ganizations are doing splendid work in every state. Among the rank and file the enthusiasm is unbounded for the head of the ticket. I have no reservation in my mind when I say there is no doubt about the West being for Hughes. Wisconsin Certain for Hnghea. Speaking of the situation in specific states. Mr. Hert added: "There has been a good deal of talk about this or that state being doubt ful. I am certain that, 'however doubt- I f ul any state may be at this moment, whether doubtful in fact or for pub licity purposes on the part of the op position, there will be no doubt on election day. Wisconsin is one of the states that has had a lot of publicity o f tii Is kind. Wisconsin will be car ried by Mr. Hughes, Senator LaFol lette will be re-elected and so will Gov ernor Philipp In other words, tie en tire Republican ticket from top to bot tom will be euccessful in Wisconsin. "Indiana is as certainly Republican today as any state could be. Illinois and other big Western states have also had considerable advertising of late as doubtful states, but they are not doubt ful now and never have been and never will be. Furthermore, and I speak ad visedly. Missouri is going Republican this Fall and will have another mys terious stranger alongside of her Kentucky. Keep your eye on those two states w.ien the votes are counted. Hnfhn Enrollment Higrn In South. The high enrollment in the Hughes j alliance of Democrats from the South ern states is strongly significant of the great vote which Mr. Hughes will get from Democratic ranks all over the country. Every day the Hughes al liance receives a large number of en rollment cards signed by men who re port themselves as life-long Democrats. The enrollment from Southern states is I naturally almost wholly Democratic J and it has been large enough to war rant the establishment of Hughes al-1 liance branches in nine states south of I the Mason and Dixon line. The ninth Ftate is Florida, headquarters having just been opened In Jacksonville.. Charles F. Goldstrohm writes from Duquesne, Tenn.:. "You can enroll me. a Democrat for 40 years, as a sup porter of Charles E. Hughes." John C. Carroll, of the Third National Bank, St. Louis, writes: "I have been a Democrat all my life ana assure you that I can be even oener KepuDiican alter the present Administration. LIMITED AID IS URGED WILI4 R. KIXG OUTLLVES FLAX OF RECLAMATION. Oregron Delesate Would Htra Govern ment Control Project Until It la j On It Financial Feet." Klj fAfiO, Tex., Oct. 17. Will R. King, chief counsel for the United btates reclamation service, 'presented late today a plan for limited control by the Federal Government of irrisra tion projects in the West to the In ternational Irrigation CongTess. speaking as a delegate from Ore gon and not as an official of the reclamation service, Mr. King urged nis plan to nave the Government ap prove the engineering soundness of a project, guarantee the bonds which would be issued by the irrigation dls trict, and then, have the water-users composing the district organization consent to Government control of the project until a major part of the cost or the project has been collected. The project could then be turned over to the district organization, he said. This, Judge King said, would permit each district to build its own canals with out funds being advanced by the United States, the-' Government acting in a protective capacity only. Dr. W. M. Jardine, dean of the agri cultural department of the Kansas Ag ricultural College, made a plea forre- taintng the farmer boys and young men on the larms. He recommended that farm values be fixed on a pro ductive and non-speculative basis and said a credit system based on charac ter should be established, as the present credit institutions, including the land bank, were inadequate. He closed with an appeal for legislation permitting the Government to buy lands and sell them to the yung men. MILLMEN ARE FOR HUGHES Employes at Springfield Plant Fa vor Republican Nominee. .

HETIIER the next President of the United States be Charles Evans Hughes or Woodrow Wil son, moving picture men feel certain that there will be no Federal censor ship of films. Not content with assurances of friendship from this quarter and that. all unofficial, a special committee representing the National Association of the Motion Picture Industry called upon both candidates President Wil son and Mr. Hughes to secure first hand Information of their attitude toward Federal censorship. A bill calling for this method of regulation Is to be introduced in congress at the next session. From their sessions with the candl- ( dates, the motion picture men, in the words of W. Stephen Bush, gathered this Idea: To both men the very idea of censorship is abhorrent as a deadly menace to free Institutions. A statement of the conference auth orized by the private secretary of the President includes' the following: The attitude and utterances of Pres ident Wilson plainly indicated that to his way of thinking the presumption was against the principle 01 censor ship and that an overwhelming strong case would have to tie maae out in favor of censorship before his support could be enlisted for It. It was also manifest that the Presi dent fully recognized the danger of serious abuses consequent upon the arbitrary exercise of private Judgment, where public judgment alone ought to sway the matter. The President's words Indicated that he believed If you have a friend whom vou think is a foil, you should hire a hall and permit the public to b the ludare. . . . He could not see how censorship could be considered safe, since it is so largely a matter or taste, environment and prejudice. ne intimated that he found himself fre auently shocked by things which others were able to digest with ease and vIcr versa. In brief, that it is all a matter of personal equation." Mr. Huiehes. In vigorous language, exDressed himself on the question or Federal control of the subject, qualify ing everything he said with the em nhatle declaration that he was only stating his opinion as a lawyer and that he was not speaking in a formal or final manner. H described the pursuit of the Idea of Federal control, where there is no Federal exitrencv. as a "will- o-tne- ist." The gathering which listened to Mr. Hughes was impressed by his wide-vlsioned aDDreclation of the mo tion picture as an Intellectual, moral and educational force and character ized the future of the motion picture as one that aeriea propnecy in 11s wonderful and ultimate development. He drew a very sharp and clear dis I tinction between regulation of the mo tion picture and censorship of the motion picture. Regulation founded on responsibility he believed in, but censorship he viewed with the great est misgivings. He did not for a mo ment suppose that there was any mo tion picture man who wanted license to produce indecent and harmful pic tures, for such pictures would never be tolerated by the American public.

Belie; Tribune and a comedy are also on the programme. A King: Raggot Company. King Baggot. who. for a number of years, was Carl Laemmle's leading male star on the Universal programme, broke his contract with that concern rather than consent to go to Universal City when the Eastern forces, were moved, bag and baggage, to the West ern film-making city. King has amassed quite a little fortune of his own in the past few years, and there is a well-founded rumor that he will shortly start a producing company of his own. in which he will be the star and director. Mary Fuller, who left the Uni versal at the same time as King Bag got, is undecided as to her future. Mary had a contract -calling for $500 per week for the past two years and as she has always been careful with her money, it is estimated that today Mary is worth J100.000. welt invested and bringing her such a satisfying In come that she need not work aarain.

PY CAROLYN WILSON. (War Correspondent of the ClUcafto Tribune. Published by arrangement,) PARIS. Sept. 24. The only topic of conversation during the past week has been the new English "tank." which among the Tommies goes under every sort of 'name. The most popular per haps Is "creme de men the" heaven knows why, and besides that there Is "the damned thing" and "gentle Liz zie." No official description of it has been given out and the few attempted para graphs in the papers have been so cen sored that blank columns are the re sult. Sunday in the sone des armees an English chauffeur dropped Into the house where I was staying for some water for his car and, staying on for a bit of tea, gossiped discreetly about the "tanks." He said he had driven one In the last attack and says lt is the most eliciting experience of the war. "I remember when I was a kid I al ways wanted to drive a road roller on the route from Reading to Oxford And I used to ride with the engineer often. But that was child's play to this giant. Sometimes you can make "em go fast as eight kilometers -am ' hour, and they make so much noise and commo tion that you'd think you were doing the yearly race from London to Edin burgh at 110 an hour. Skin Is Touch as Whale's, "I was down snug in her waist, the old dear, and Charley up in her head looking out of her one eye, 'With Hap pen tending to her munitions, 'cause she certainly aan spit, the pretty cat. when she wants to. And with a skin as tough as a whale's. Tou know she's a sort of cross-breed between one of those antediluvian monsters what you-call-'ems and a whale." If we had been able to pronounce dinosaurus us confidently as we write it ve would have thrown it into the conversation. "-We charged on toward the lines. coming out back of an old house what onco was a house, I mean. The first knowledge we had f their seeing us was the most awful Inferno on Creme de Menthe's hide. It was the shrapnel, but nary a bit came through. - "We wont over ditches and trenches and even when we came to a 20-foot crater my old camel Just crawled down lumberingly and crawled up again. And then we were in plain enemy country There was the continued cracking of a company of machine guns to the right of us, and they were holding up a lot of our men who were trying to advance. So right about face, for ward march. My little old pet ambled toward the blockhouse, raised herself on her hind legs and calmly .sat down on the house. I still have a memory of a terrified Boche, his mouth wide open, his hands raised in a natural but laughable effort to keep her from sit ting down on him. . DilCger Ones Coming. On the other side was a 'gultou' marked Kommandant and we made a urn-, climbed a wall and mashed that to powder. O, yes, they are wonderful little animals, all right. And there are more coming. Bigger, they say, There Is one which, without the muni tions to carry, weighs SB tons. They call It will-a'-the-wisp. Because it doesn't flutter, I fancy." Another man, who talked less and more seriously, said that the new ma chines were an outcome, as one might suppose, of the 'caterpillar tractor.' but that lt Is really more like a ship than an automobile. It Is a sort of huge monitor which rolls on wheels Instead of ploughing through the waves, formidable enough to pass pitching over ditches and throuarh woods, which It opens up as If lt were a sword. It Is like a face and yet lt has no sockets, no eyes. On either side of the nose the cheeks rise round toward the forehead; no mouth, only above the antennae a cycloplan eye. noie wnere one realises that in mo ments of anger a yellow and red fire plays and shoots which no one can look at and Jive. , Everybody- Talks About It. There Is something in this superma chine which teases the Imagination. It Is one of Wells' wild Martian machines come true. It Is Just enough hidden from the public to make it the onlv thing worth talking about and spec ulating upon. Tou see men in cafes taking out a piece of paper and pencil and saying. "Now I have a friend whose cousin is chauffeur for the Minister of Munitions, and he says that lt looks like this, and a curious crowd hovers over his shoulder while he draws some thing never seen on land or sea and the more roving his imagination the less critical the crowd. The French connected with the in ventors' bureau say It has brought out a new and overwhelming crop of lm- possiDie mecnanical devices on the part of inventors who have ideas of being greeted as saviors of their country and drawing royalties of millions of francs.
