But to offset this "awakening of
the moral conicience of America," as
it is described by President Wilson
and Prqsdential Candidate Cox, sur
face conditions revealed by obvious
conditions easilyr to interpret and re
cent developments point unyastak
ingly to Republican success after 7
muh closer fight than the Republican
managers* were yilling to concede
a month ago.
Three weeks ago the Republicans
were inclined to claim almost every
Northern and Western State. with one
or two unimpprtant exceptions, a
well an the sb-called "border" States.
They even aserted they had a chance
of winning at least one (Tennessee)
and possibly two (North Caroline.) of
the Commonwealth in the solil South.
Revised Republican figures do not
assert anything like those extrava
gant claims. Further than this, in
formation given me by men who have
canvassed the situation pretty thor
oughly concede Missouri. Kentucky,
Indiana and West Virginia to the
Democrats "by small pluralities" fur
nished by later support.
NEW "DOUTSFUL" STATES.
Montana. Idahe, Colorado. Nebraska.
South Dakota and Utah have become
"doubtful" In Republican calculations.
Ohio In designated as "uncertain" by
the Democrats, but in 4aimed by the
opposition by 100,000, which means
half that figure. The reason for Re
publican confidence in Ohio in that the
150,000 colored votes (more than one
third of which will be east by the
women of that race) are certain to be
cast for Harding.
Confidence of the Republican man
agers of other States is also predi
cated on the knowledge that this vote
will go ti the Republican candidate.
This is not wholly true of Kentucky.
Indiana, Missouri, West Virginia, Ok
lahoma and, to some extent, Tennes
see..
During the visit of Governor Cox to
these States, on which I accompanied
him, I gained the impression that the
Nineteenth Amendment, which he
sought to promote, would provide the
greatest obstacle to his chances for
success in several States.
NEGRO VOTE TM AID G. 0. P.
The meetings he addressed in the
States named were almost exclusively
attended by white men and women;
"hose which Harding has been ad
dressing in the name territory the
last few days by crowds quite am
large but with a preponderance of
hegro attendance. The recruiting of
the negro vote by the Republican
ananagers has been both systematic
and methodical, capably organised
and adequately fipanced. In some of
the typically industrial States con
taining a large percentage of negro
vote the alignment of it to Republi
ean advantage has had the effect of
driving independent and even radi
eal voters to the support of Governor
Co.
But In the agr cultural regions,
wSaere the negro 'vote is compara
tifely negligible in a political sense,
events have favored the Republican.
The refusal of Secretary of the Treas
ury Houston to ~sent to the revival
of the War Fialnce Corporation to
help farmers maintain prices for their
products is hailed with delight by the
Republican. and consternation by the
Democrats, though the former con
cede the soundness of .his decision.
The Republican managers assert
that the act of the Democratic Sec
retary of the Treasury will "win us
millions of votes." It will undoubt
,idly cause a substantial loss to the
Democrats. Democratic confidence
that the prejudice against their party
et various nationalist groups, not
nbiy those of Irish, German, Italian
and other alien origin, is abating
was not confirmed by the develop
mnents of Governor Cox's tour
through the doubtful States.
IRven in Ohio he encountered com
munities largely populated by aliens
that reflected a distinctly hostile at
mosphere. His charge here at Colum
bus last night that the Republican
managers have organised these groups
by appealing to race prefudice in
therefore fully justified.

when she described her first visit to
Dr. Tetlow's apartments during an
illness from which he suffered five
years ago.
For the first time he then called
her his sweetheart, she testified, d6
claring he hd found her again only
to lose her he was too old and was
about to die.
Following this illness the doctor
became a frequent visitor to the
Kenyon home, with the result that
Mrs. Kenyon protested and her hus
band complained that the neighbors
would "talk."
CALLED IER IS WIFE.
A short time later, while standing
in her garden on a certain night, the
witness said she looked up and beheld
Dr. Tetlow.
"He held elt his hands to me," She
testified, "and aids 'You were my
swetheart-ye are my wife. You
don't belong to Kenyon and I will
have yen,"W "
After marrying her present husbar.d.
Mrs. Kenyon said she moyed to West
erly nine years ago. Dr. Tetlow called
at her house. He recalled their earlier
meeting, she said, but remained only
a short time. The next time she saw
him was on the street five or six
months later.
From that time,6n there were occa
sional meetings between the coup'M
up to the spring of 1915, when he was
ill. He came to her house. but she
sent him home and did not hear from
him fob' several weeks.
"1 had grown very Interested in
hinjg" she testified "He was well
bred, intellectual, and had charming
manners. I asked Mr. Kenyon if he
objected to my inquiring about the
doctor. He said no, and to send one
of the children to find out what was
wrong.
"I did this, and also requested one
of the women who lived in the same
apartment house as Dr. Tetlow to
look after him during his illness."
A short time later a woman told
Mrs. Kenyon the doctor wished to see
her.
WENT TO Eis ROOK.
"I went to his room," said the wit
ness. "and on entering saw him .lying
on the bed, wrapped in a bathrobe and
with a comforter over him. He said:
'I wanted you so, but I didn't think
you would come.' He motioned me to
a seat beside the bed and said:
u'Yeu are my omly sweetheart.
Nw I am old ad ready te die I have
rousg you again.' E took my hand
and placed It against his cheek. He
then told me how on the erst day I
met him on the croquet lawn I crossed
the grass and asked: 'Are you to be
my partner?'
"He said he had never forgotten
that and the picture of me at that
time. He did not want me to go, but
after an hour I went home. I called
once again with some dessert I had
prepared and we conversed for about
an hour.
"He recovered from his illness and
then began to call at my home, his
visits growing more and more fre
quent. He called th~ree tinmes a week
or oftener. By 1316 these visits had
become so frequent that I protested
to the doctor, and my husband com
plained that the neighbors would talk.
HAD KEY TO DIS ROME.
"At this time I had a key to the
front door of the apartment house in
which Dr. Tetlow lived.
"A short time later, I was standing
in my garden one night when 1 saw
Dr. Tetlow quite near me. He held
out his hands to me and said: 'You
wer my sweetheart. You are my
wife. You don't belong to Kenyon.'
"Ny only expianatlen is that I was
a lonely woman and we failed to live
up to the standard whleh we set f
earselves. This relationship contin
ued up to a year and a holf ago,
ceasing before the birth of my last
child in October of 1913."
Continuing her testimony under di
'ct examination, Mrs. Kenyon testi
fed that for some time before the
shooting she endeavored to persuade
the doctor to stop visiting her and
that he refused.
"Onm Jun. 9. t wo days before the
shooting." 'he said. "he came to my

"War with ussiae, or evet block
ad, or ees aid to General Wrangel,
will maw a natios-wide toe up," was
labor's ultimatum to Whitehall, and
while Premier Lloyd Gegee came
back with a defiant "never will we
allow labor to dictate our policy." the
upshot of the crisiswas that neither
war, mor blockade. nor aid to
Wreagel was decided upon.
'"That was the greatest proof'of its
power British organised labor has
had in the empire's history, and since
then the leaders have been stead
fastly forging ahead with their plans
to assert the same power in the re
adjustment of their own' living and
working conditions.
As part of its pre-strike measures,
the government has reimposed the
complete system of rationflng of coal
an4 lighting. Sugar rations have
been cut in half. and the public has
beep given to understand that it must
be ready for more sacrifices.
LADOR MAY DEPEAT SELF.
The DaiIy Express, more optimistic
than most of the leading Longop
journals. predicts that before the
strike has lasted a week there will
be mediatory negotiations. The pa
per bses this theory on "family
quarrels" in the councils of labor.
The powerful Trades Union Cou
gress, which created the 'Council of
Action" in the recent Russian crisis.
will meet Wednesday to discuss the
situalpn. The transport workers ex
ecutives are scheduled to meet Mon
day, but their action is believed to
depend on the decision of the railway
men.
No meeting of the executive) of the
triple alliance as such has yet been
oalled.
Public anxiety eentered upon the
question whether the strike will de
velop into a rolid strike of the "triple
alliance." the powerful combination
of miners, railwaymen, and transport
worke .
Thivernment, fully "set" forethe
mina tie-up, is bending all Itd energies
to prevent a triple alliance walkout.
which it is admitted even by the
most sanguine officials would bring
not only the United Kingdom but the
British empire as a whole to the
brink of a social and political up,
heaval, the consequences of which no
one dares to speculate upon.
EAR R. 3. INSURGINTU.
All eyes are fixed upon the national
union of raliwaymen. for on the de
cision of that powerful organisation
doppads the question whether the
strike can be confined to the miners.
An influential group of the more
radical heads of the rail men's union
is working tooth and nail for a strike
in sympathy with the miners, but J.
IL Thospas. the organization's leader,
Who Is against it. may be able to
check the "insurgents."
Downing street sighed relief. there
fore, when Thomas returned from the
continent this morning, after hopes
for his coming had been given up
when he was reported to have missed
his boat. Thomas returned from a
tour of Bohemia in the nick of time.
He will confer with Premier Lloyd
George ton'ght. Immediately upon
his arrival here he went into confer
enee with the other rail union execu
tives and started his effort% to calm
the belligerent elements and avert a
rail strike.
Foremost among the pro-strike lead
ers of the railway men's union is W.
J. Cramp, member of the executive
copnmittee. He announced early today
that he was circulating the megnbers
of the union regarding "the serious
position in which labor will find it
self if the miners are defeated."
Cramp, in Thomas' absence, called
a meeting of the N. U. R. delegates
for Wednesday. The eleventh-hour
arrival of Thomas gave rise to the
hope that between now and that date
he will be able to check the pro-strike
tnovement of the railmen.
Alarming reports are coming in
from South Wales, however, where
the railway men, closely allied with
the miners, with whom they work
hand in hand, are said to be deter
mined to walk out regardless of the'
decision of the union's executive body
or the membership as a whole.

ute Admiral to Refute Usyd
George's Charge Of Sub.
marine Bpe en Coast.
The following statement is issued
by the Friends of Irish Freedbm Na
nal Bureau of Information in re
gard to the published announcement
by the Irish Office in London con
cerning submarine bases on the Irish
coast:
"Tbe official statement issued by the
Irish Office in London and published
in the American press today, reiterat
INg the charges that German subma
rine bases were discovered off the
Irish coast during the late war has
no more evidence to back it up than
the previous unproved charges made
by Lloyd George and other English
ministers. It is admitted that the an
nouncement of the discovery of such
a base shortly before the armistice
was a verbal one and that there is no
exact record qf the language used.
The Irish Office is now simply re
peating unsubstantiated charges in an
effort to give added force to the
weak accusations made by Lloyd
George in his Carnarvon speech on
October 9.
"Rear Admiral William Sowden
Sims, who, during the war, was in a
position which makes his utterances
on such a subject worth consideration,
mad'e the emphatic statement that
there were no German U-boat bases
on the Irish coast. From such a
source there is no doubt that every
benefit would be given to the English
point of view; yet, in his article on
"The Victory at Sea" in the World's
Work for September, 1919, phge 501,
Admiral Sims says:
"'And here let me correct one un
vernal misapprehension. These U
boats did not have bases off the Irish
and. Spanish coasts, as most people
believe * * * The cruising period
of a submaAne did not depend, as
ihost people think, upon its supply of
fuel oil and food, for a! ost any un
derwater boat could carry enough of
these essential materials for a practi
cally indefinite period, and the aver
age U-boat could easily make the voy
age across the Atlantic and back. The
cruising period depended upon .its
supply of torpedoes. * * * Bases
on the Irish coast would have been
useful only in case they could replen
ish the torpedoes, and thiS was ob
viously an impossibility. No, there
was not the slightest mystery con
cerning the bases, of the U-boats.
When the Germans captured the citf
of Bruges in Belgium they trans
formed it into a submarine base: here
many of the U-boats were built, and
here facilities were provided for
doeking, repairing and supplying
them.'"
