ri-mnin u* fighting territory until the
vot<*M ure counted. The progressives,
aided it in naid l>y democratic fund», are
maintaining an organization in that
•date; I,at competent observers believe
that from K5 to 1*0 per cent o f the tiuli
moose will vote for Hughe* and that
the number who will support Wilson
are negligible. I ' |> oti thin liunin Indiana
diould go for Hughes nnd Fairbanks
by nearly 30,INK).
The 70 30 division applied to Kansas
would give that state to the republicans
by the following figures: republicans,
210,21»; democrats, 21*4,162.
In Maine the result would be: repub
lican», 77.HKM; democrats, 00,071.
In Nebraska the figures should show:
republicans, 114,37(1; democrats, 113,820.
This is another hnirline of demarcation,
but there is no bull moose ticket in N e
braska this year, and while the contest
will be a hard one, the indentions are
that Hughes will curry the state.
The same division of the progressive
vote in Ohio would produce figures for
11)10 in this wise: republicans, 511,03k;
democrats, 41**1,053.
It is, therefore, u fair assumption
that, in addition to retaining the states
which disclosed a clear republiean plu
rality in 11*14, nnd whirh assume a ma
jority o f the electoral college, the re
publican ticket will this year gain Kan
sas, Maine and Ohio without <|Ucstion
and secure for Hughes nnd Fairbanks
i total of 320 out o f the 531 votes In
the electoral college, with more than a
fighting chance to odd the 23 votes o f
Inilinnn nnd Nebraska to that number,
making 341», or n majority o f 107.
[N o te— Hince the above figures were
compiled, the Maine state election hns
I... . held, nnd it is interesting to note
that tin- Pine Tree state went republi
can by almost the figures used above.
It is reasonable to believe that the re
publican vote will increase nt the na
tional election.]

Cottage drove, Ore., Sept. 11.— (To
the Kditor.)— I have been much inter
ested in the several letters that have
been printed in The Sentinel in regard
to the Cottage Grove cannery. Will
you allow' me to add n wordf 1 think
I cun hit the nail right on the head.
1 think the principal reason that
there has been so much trouble in sell
ing sufficient stock to put the ennnery
on its feet is because each fellow is
afraid he is going to do just n little
more than someone else. One man did
not wish to put in over $5 because he
was afraid that was all his neighbors
would put in. Another would not go
over $15 because someone else in like
circumstances had said that was his
limit.
Nothing will ever he accomplished in
this world by those who measure their
stent by what the other fellow is doing.
The men who have made a success in
the world ure those who have taken
little note o f what the other fellow Is
doing, nnd no cooperntive concern can
be successful until every fellow who will
benefit does his full shnre regardless
of what the other fellow will do. Here
we are now with a good building nnd n
good plant and nil of us are going to
lose more by letting the ennnery lie
idle than it would cost us to put it on
its feet.
I nm willing to be one to do my
shnre.
A STOCKHOLDER.
Let your friend*- in other states
know o f tho country you live in, nnd
they mny want to come here too. Extra
copies of The Sentinel for that purpose,
two for 5 cents.

London.—The British and French,
striking simultaneously north and
south of the Homme, have further won
Important successes.
Haigs troops
took another giant step forward In
their drive against Bapaume, while
Foeh extended his positions between
Chaulnes and Peronne, greatly In- J
creasing the menace to both these1
strongholds.
In their advanee north of the Somme '
the British took an important step in
their movement toward the encircle
ment of Thlepval, obliterating the sal- '
tent that protruded into their lines be- j
tween that place and Courcelette, and !
brought their front to within less than ;
a mile of Urandcourt and the Albert-
Bapaume road. By capturing Mouquet
farm work and the Danube trench,
Haig has eliminated the greatest ob-
Staelea toward a direct northeast ad
vance on Bapaume by the British.
The British guns are now bombard
ing Grandcourt, while Bapaume itself
is almost in range of the heavy artil
lery.
1 he success of the French south of
the Somme likewise wipes out a dan
gerous salient and brings their right
wing nearer the point of the south
from which the flank move on Per
onne must be begun.
Swiftly the
French are clearing the whole sector
south and southwest of Peronne and
bringing nearer the isolation of that
stronghold.
The allied attack in Picardy is daily
growing in momentum. The Britit.h

It is no longer necessitating constant

Berlin.— Russian and
Roumanian
troops are being driven back upon the
river Danube in southeastern Rouma
nia in the most disastrous debat suf
fered by an allied army since the Ser-
b'ans were crushed a year ago.
The Roumanian army is hastily fall

through Cxernavoda and Midzidiah to
Oonstanzia on the Black Sea, a re

been driven back more than 30 miles,

British Front in France.—The main
theme of talk In the British army is
the wonderful work of the new ar
mored cars, used for the first time
when the British smashed the Ger
man’s third line of defense.
Evidently their building was a close
secret, the first the Germans knowing
of their existence being when dawn
came and they trundled across craters,
trenches and tree stumps on to the
German's second and third line de
fences. Many battalions, following in
their wake had nothing more to do
than harvesters gathering sheaves as
they follow the reaper and binder.
