The News recently received the c<

of its subscribers: "You complain ai

GRAVITATING TO WIIiSON.
As the Maine and the New York
flections recede into the distance and
heie is given more opportunity for
i study of results, more comfort
s coming to the Democrats. As a
natter of fact, both elections proved
avorable to Democratic success in
Covember. Iu these elections The
Baltimore Sun sees some things
'that cannot be explained away." It
s a safe proposition that the attiude
of the independent voter. Progressive
and Republican, will largely
letermine the result. The Sun feels
ustified in regarding as of considsrable
significance "the accumuating
evidence from every quarter

President Wilson of this type of
roter. Such evidence was furnished
jy the Progressive vote in Maine;
ind It was furnished even more
.trongly in the New York primaries
n the contest between Governor
iVhitman and Judge Seabury for
Progressive 'ndorsement. The testlnony

>f The Philadelphia Record's list of
he many influential #eople who are
oming out for Wilson, and which
las been used in the columns of The |
)bserver. and it adds a few of its
iwn to show the general trend of
mblic opinion. One interesting bit
if evidence it gives is found in a
otter from Benjamin P. Holmes of
Ipring Grove, Va., a second cousin
>f Abraham Lincoln. Mr. Holmes
las been a Republican since casting
lis first vote for the Civil War l'resllont.
He is not yet certain for
ihom he will vote, but admits that'
ie is "not wholly satisfied" with Mr.
lughes and his party, and if he
'can see daylight," will not be
verse "to speak a word favorable
o Mr. Wilson's re-election." The
iun suggests that "if Lincoln Relublicans
are gravitating toward
Vilson, what will the harvest be?"
"here is still another notable acqulition
to the Wilson following in the
lerson of Victor Murdock. who is
lescribed as "the most uncompromising
and unreconstructed Progresive
between the Atlantic and the Paific."
Murdock gives absolute eniorsement
to President Wilson's
ourse on the eight-hour law. He
rigorously proclaims the wisdom;
ind righteousness of the Presi-I

trike. He yet does not say that he
