HUGHES ELECTOR CARDINAL STATES 1
IN WEST VIRGINIA "CATHOLIC CHURCH
NEW YOltK, Oct. 25. The nation
wide prosidt'iitiiil postal card poll
undertaken by the New York Ameri
can and associated newspapers
already has readied proportions far
in excess of the expectations of the
many readers who have written to ex
press the appreciation of so compre
hensive a straw vote.
Kach mail briiiKs hundreds of pos
tal cards that have been malied to
registered voters throughout the
eastern states, while the ballots col
lected by associated newspapers from
coast to coast are being wired to New
York city hourly. Already these votes
are nearing the 150,000 mark and
they aro growing hourly.
So far .Mr. Wilson has a clear lead
over Mr. Hughes, the figures being
based on the 2- states wliero the pos
tal poll is being conducted. The most
surprising showing the democratic
candidate has made is in Otiio, where
he has a clear lead over his republi
can rival.
The shift from Taft to Hughes Is
about as might have been expected,
but many more Roosevelt votes are
finding their way Into the Wilson
column than the most canguine demo
crat might have expected.
The postal poll up to the present
time gives Wilson 71,99! and Hughes
5 4 . :t D 9 , the largest ballot being polled
in Ohio, which shows 17,093 Tor Wil
son and 3-1,337 for Hughes.
I'llAULESTON. W. Va., Oct. 25.
J. W. Hanson of Charleston, coal
operator, tonight. In n letter to State
Chairman Joseph 11. dailies of the
Republican Slate Committee, asked
that his name as a Hughes elector at
largo he withdrawn from the republi
can ticket.
"I have been a great admirer of
.lndge Huglius sini'o the insurance in
vestigation in New York years past,''
says Mr. Dawson ill his letter. "I
was for him originally when Mr. Taft
was nomiuuted and elected president,
and at that time hoped to some day
:see Judiifl Hughes president of this
country. But I was at Chicago dur
ing the republican convention in
June; 1 have been a student of public
questions since that time; I have read
.Mr. Hughes' public addresses with a
great deal of anxl-'ty; 1 do not find
in them any seed reason why . we
should change administrations at
Washington at this crilieal period.
"And when summing up the entire
situation I am convinced that a vote
for Judge Hughes would. In fact,
be assisting to turn over tho United
States and the destines of those 100.
000.000 people to the corrupt Old
(jtiard, dominated, controlled abso
lutely by such men as Barnes, Pen
rose. Crane and Snioot, and I will
never be a party to such treachery to
our country. '

Colonel Cody is a ut-eat admirer of
Hint oilier eminent colonel and rough
rider, but he cannot unite with Theo
dore Roosevelt in indorsing- Mr.
llutrlics.
"iiiilTulo Hill'' hud always been n
republican until a few years ago,
when he lined up with the progres
sives. How he slands this year is
shown by a characteristic' telegram
sent by him from Kingston, X. ('., to
Frank I.. Iloux, secrelary of stale of
Wyoming. Colonel Cody's aunounee
menl reads;
"Hughes ciiu'l ride Woodrou'. He

Colonel Cody has never been n

special dispatch from Baltimore:
"1 novt'r have heard until this mo
ment that any Hotnnn Catholic propa
ganda existed In Indiana or elsewhere
In opposition to tho re-election of
President Wilson. I do not believe
there is my truth in it. Far myself.
I am not in politics and I never have
naihorizcd any one to quote ino as
favoiing either candidate for the
I residency. Every Catholic voter has
an lnheiant right to vote according to
his own individual conscience, and I
am sure that tho Roman Catholic
hierarchy of the United States would
never interfere with that right."
