PROSPECTS FOR MR. HUGHES.
; Mr, Hughes and his supporters are reported to be in ve-
high spirits over the enthusiastic endorsements of so
iy leaders of the Bull Moose party. They point to the
that in 1912 President Wilson receivrd 6 303,000 votes,
lel Roosevelt 4,168,000 and President Taft received
19,000. They estimate that- Mr. Hughes will get 80
cent and perhaps 90 per cent of the Bull Moose votes
1912. If this calculation should prove accurate Mr.
ighes will receive more than 300 dectorial votes, when he
ly needs 266 to land him in the White House. However
ire seems to be quite a difference between the Bull Moos-
's on the Atlantic Coast and those a little further west.
DIFFERENCES IN OPINIONS.
For instancerone of the progressive leaders from Ohio
gives it-as his opinion that “Mr, Wilson will get fully one-
half of the vote which was cast for Colonel Roosevelt in
1912. He figures it out this way. There were more than
),000 democratic voters in Ohio in 1912; of this number
Wilson only received 423,000 votes, so that at least 80
democrats in Ohio voted for Mr. Roosevelt because
iy. knew that he was a deadly enemy to the political boss-
and Mr. Wilson at that time was as unknhwn as a pol
leader as Mr. Hughes is today. So Mr. Wilson will
tainly get these 80,000 votes which went to Col. Roose-
in 1912, and in addition thereto he will get one-third
the 150,000 Republican votes which were cast for Mr.
svelt, so that of the 229,000 votes that were cast for
ol. Roosevelt in Ohioin 1912, Mr. Wilson is likely to get
>; not only half but more than half.
ATTITUDE OF THE PROGRESSIVES
“While many of the Progressives are satisfied with Mr.
;bes personally, they claim that the country could hope
nothing in the way of progressive legislation even under
and able man as Mr. Hughes, with the Republican
and grafters undisputably in the saddle and astride
republican elephant as they are at the present
They further point out that Bill Taft and Brother
larley have been silent but all powerful financial backers
and promoters of the Hughes ante convention boom, and
reactionaries which used poor old Bill Taft anyway
they chose when he was in the White House, are all tickel-
l to death because they knocked Teddy out of the Repub-
bcan nomination, and thus revenged Taft’s defeat by Ted-
1912.”
HUGHES AND THE BOSSES
“The experience of Governor Hughes in dealing with re j
>lican bosses also throws light on his qualifications for
sident of the United States. When he was Governor
New York he endeavored to have a primary law passed
as to put the republican bosses out of business. But
I 1he fight shows that the bosses were more powerful than
renior Hughes, because the bosses put through a pri-
law that gave them more power than they had be-
f, so Governor Hughes was forced to veto his own pet
ire. This fact shows that Charles E. Hughes is not
lasterful leader when it comes to controlling bosses as
[row Wilson is, who has made every democratic boss
party obey his wishes. So for these reasons, thous-
of bullmoosers are going to vote for that effective pro-
live Woodrow Wilson, and not vote to turn out a
it and sucsessful man, and endeavor to turn in one
chief claim for support is the fact that he is the
imitation to Mr. Wilson, that the Republican par-
find.

"So you refuse to tell me whether or
not you Intend to go to that plebeian
public masque ball?” Gerald shifted Douglas,
his hat and stick, which he held in
readiness for departure.
“I refuse to be bullied. So I refuse
to answer your question because you
flung it at me as a demand to account
to you in advance for my movements.”
“Now, Dot, you can’t think that; it
is all from my desire to exercise the
right and the privilege which our en-
gagement gives me to protect you.”
"Protection actuated by jealousy and
intolerance isn't what I want or ex-
pect. As for our engagement, why—”
She began to fumble with her ring.
"Please, Dot,” said Gerald quickly,
“don’t ?ay anything about that now,
and please think seriously before you
join those feather-brained Gilbert girls
and Charley Mason In a lark at that
public masque.”
“Good afternoon” was Dorothy’s
only reply, but as the front door closed
behind him she crumpled up on the
big davenport and sobbed.
Gerald's pleading failed to keep Dor-
othy away from the public masque
ball, although she did decide to wear
a black domino instead of the fan-
tastic costumer5she first had in mind.
The Gilbert girls, Charley Mason and
the two other young men In her party
dressed as a band of gypsies, and they
were surprised and disappointed when
Dorothy appeared in her domino. Once
In the gay crowd, though, all entered
heartily into the merriment. Here
and there through the hilarious crowd
other domino-clad figures were scat-
tered, giving a needed touch of black
to the kaleidoscopic whirl of color.
Some energetic domino-clad man un-
dertook to gather all the dominoes
together and line them up in mock
protest at some of the gayeties going
on about them. Dorothy was drawn
into his group, and she gayly, though
silently, tried to induce a tall, broad-
shouldered fellow-domino to become
also a fellow participant in making
things gay. Reluctantly, at first, but
gradually more willingly, the tall fig-
ure began to move about with some
show of life.
As the crowd grew more mirthful
Dorothy became less and less gay. Her
tall companion could see that she
was vainly searching for someone. He
squeezed her hand reassuringly and
broke the long silence between them.
"I see that you have lost your
friends,’* he said simply. “Will you
allow me to help you find them or to
take you home if you can’t find them?”
A few moments later, thfey were en-
tering a taxi, to whose driver Dor-
othy gave the half of a visiting card
containing her residence number, hav-
ing nodded a vigorous negative when
her escort asked her destination. As
they were whirled along in the taxi,
the man softly asked her to speak to
him, as he was sure her voice must
be as charming as were her grace and
ease in dancing. He even squeezed her
hand lightly, and although she was
unresisting she still shook her head
and remained silent. This seemed to
add to the young man’s determina-
tion, for he began to plead eloquently,
but was astounded to be roughly
pushed away with two tiny but deter-
mined hands. c
As the taxi turned a corner, Dor-
othy realized that she was nearing
her home, and she quickly sprang up
and covered the eyes of her escort
with her hands.
Swear you won’t look,” she whisr
pered hoarsely, and with those soft
hands pressing his eyelids, the man
willingly promised. A few moments
later, the taxi came to a full stop, and
Dorothy electrified her companion by
kissing him full on the mouth and
springing from the door the instant the
driver opened it.
Quite forgetting his promise, he
sprang after her, but took in his sur-
roundings with a dumfounded glance.
About six strides took him the distance
that Dorothy had covered in sixty rap-
id steps, and he overtook her just as
she reached the marble-lined vestibule
to her home.
Dorothy, dear,” he pleaded, “why-
dldn’t you let me know it was you?”
Just because I wanted to see how
far you'd go in doing the very things
you tried to forbid me doing wh*n I
hinted I was going to this ball,” she
eyed him defiantly, like a plucky 'fight-
er at bay. “Your tender pleading; for
the sound of my voice and your gen-
tle squeezing of my hand when you
thought I was somebody you didn't
even know convince me, that you are
1 at least human enough to be Incon-
sistent and also that you’re not to be
trusted.”
“Which ought also to convince you
that it’s time to treat me like a human,
and take me far better .or worse.,”
Then, very softly, he added: "Don’t
you know. dear, that it was only be-
cause I wanted to look after you that
I went:to that old ball?" -
