Republican undoubtedly bad It up to 10 days ago. but things are looking better for Governor Cox. It's nip and tuck. Blnca Maryland la normally a Democratlo Mate and Clings to the prejudice which have kept the solid South from voting; the Republican ticket, there an enpeclal significance In the fact that the race la even. It means that the Republican tide has invaded Maryland. BOTH SIDES CONFIDENT The Democrats are desperately trying to stem the tide and turn It In the other direction. Confidence that they will do . so and win the state for Oovernor Cox Is a the moment baaed entirely on the efficiency of the Democratic organization In the city of Baltimore, where the battleground is this year. It seems to be', conceaed that the counties outaide of Baltimore will not go heavily for either candidate and that the real majority will be furnished in this city. The state went for Bryan as against Taft, and even Parker car ' rled it in 1904 against Roosevelt. When th entire East waa swept by Hughes. Maryland stood firm for Wilson, with the unprecedented majority of tO.OOO. It would take a political earthquake to shift the state to the Republican ticket. The Republicans think the resentment agatrst the Wilson administration is rufflcienly strong to produce such an upheaval. DEMOCRATS AROUSED The Democrats have been aroused by the prospect of losing the state. Again and again when things have peemed hopeless the Democratic leaders have managed to capture the state, in the last few weeks of the campaign. Thy are starting out to do the same thing now. ; The desire for a rhange of administra tion and the consistent opposition of ' sjrh large newspapers as the Baltimore News to the League of Nations have ' had their effect on the situation. On the other, hand, tile Baltimore Sun, which has remained friendly to the ' league throughout, has managed also to retain for Wilson, relatively speak ing, more friends in Maryland than supporting newspapers have been able to keep In other states. O. O. P. WORKS QUIETLY Also, many of the prominent independ- ents or Republicans who espoused the League of Nation before it became a i political Issue have come out openly for Oovernor Cox as a greater friend of the league than Harding iPflaetpally among these are Dr. William K. Welch of Johns Hopkins. '.who 1 revered aa one of the Intellectuals of the state, and Theodora Marburg, who waa Taft'i mln later to Belgium and cannot be suspected of championing things Democratic. The sort of campaign the Republicans have been making waa calculated to win the state. They 'quietly nursed alang the anti-administration sentiment and did not stir up party feeling. But the registration figure in the first of the seven days showing the extraordinary situation of a Republican majority, even though light, acted as an alarm clock for the Democrats. They promptly got busy and it is thelractlvlty which makes many an observer think that after all the state will go Democratic by a re duced majority over four years ago. CROWD CHEKRS WILSON The growth of the Republicans -fcn-not be discounted, for Oovernor Ritchie, Democrat, who made his campaign al most entirely on national Issue two years ago, won by only a few hundred. Governor Cox himself will be here soon' and help along the eleventh Hour drive being nade by the Democrats. There have been, factional disturbances inside the Democratic party locally, which the presence of the presidential nominee will help smooth out. Senator Harding got a Rood reception In Baltimore, but it seems the consensus of opinion here that he didn't get many more votes than he had already. The mixup over the arrest of the man who was invited by Senator Harding to come to the platform to debate, but who was unfortunately arretted, didn't help the, Republican candidate. Senator Bherwood. on the other hand, had a very big meeting the' other night, and the Democratic leaders were sur prised by the spontaneous demonstration which greeted a casual mention of the r.ame of Wood row Wilson, FIXD COX TOO DRY Fundamentally there has always been a strong wet element In the Demo cratic party. Karly in the campaign this Ktate was looked upon -as certain for Cox on that -account alone, but his friendliness to prohibition exhibited in western speeches has diminished hi strength somewhat with the voters. Large numbers of women are register ing, something that Is considered par tlcularly significant by Republicans, who point to Maine and who also re-! -I, . K - "KM - 1 . M .4 ...Alk..

The difference between Maryland and many other states is the existence of an effective Democratic organization which is getting busy. It haa won elections before. Nobody has a tight hold on Maryland today, neither Cox nor Harding, but the chances are that the state will go Democratic by less than half the majority President Wilson obtained four year ago.

(WASHINGTON BUREAU OF THE JOURNAL) The federal trade commission has cited the Federal Press, incorporated, at Portland, of -which C. W. Parker is president, for alleged unfair competition in publishing and selling "Who's Who In the North west" and 'Who's Who and Why." These books are said to closely resemble an other book published by a competitor and baVe deceived publishers, also that misleading statements were issued to induce the sal of these publications. Parker has 0 days to file an answer before the matter is set for a hearing. Federal officials described the books aa loose-leaf biographies and photo graphs of business men ot the North west, the sal Of Which netted their pro ducer handsome profits.
