(From HarriMburg (Pa.;  Teletrraiih.
Last month there was a etate election in Micbigan, tbe political significance of whicb appears to have
escaped the people generally. From
official reports the Republican yore
was 50fi,342 and the Democratic. 221,-
831. Last year the vote for governor
2156,73s1 for the Republican candidate
and l.">8,142 for the Democratic aspirant.
Tbe startling increase in tbe tota
vote of the ataoejie accounted for in
large measure by tba fact tbat it was
tbe first time tbe women of Michigan
had voted. But while the number ot
voters increased by over Tl per cent,
tre gain in Republican strength was
ever ^7 per cent, more than twice
the increase of only 40 per cent shown
by the Democrats,
The Republicans added 2*19,604
votes to tbeir strength, and the Democrats only 6:i,t'i89, representing a net
gain by the Republicans of 175 9to.
This remarkable increase in Republican sentiment occurred during
time wben the League of Nations
and other Wilsonisms were most
prominent in the public eye.
be prevented from running for a third
term is for the Republican Senate to
ratify tbe League of Nations covenant,
so inspired dispatches from Paris in
tormtt us. He doesn't went to be
President again, so bis press agents
tell us. He wouldn't ordinarly think
of running for a third term. He feels,
however, tbat be bas a great task to
perform and it will be incomplete i
tbe Senate doesn't accept tbe League
of Nations. Therefore be will have
to run again for tbe Presidency, distasteful as it wil) be to bim to  do  so.
The President bas been fair about
it. He gives tbe Republicans due
warning as to wbat they may expect.
Either ratify the League of Nations
covenant, just as it bas been determined upon by the President, or take
him for President for four years more
Mr. Wilson will make tbis sacrifice
for the good of humanity and to render the world safe for democracy.
Of conree tbe President may be
mistaken about wbat will happen if
he does run for tbe Pre»iueney a
third time. He may bave roisci.fcu-
lated as to tbe chance of bis being
re elected. In 19i6, he was re elected
but surely he can't have forgotten
tbat it was a close thing The change
of a few votes in California, for instance would have deprived tbe
world cf hie great assistance and
abilities in making war and after
wards in making peace, Perbapg
California may not vote in 1920 tbe
way it did in Hit; President Wilson
was "keeping ns out of war" then, if
you remember about it. In 1920 California may think be is trying to keep
ne in war by attempting to have, this
country becoiT_*t_ a part of the League
of Nations. Folks look upon thesa
things in a funny way sometimes.

Honorable Jobn A. Damon,

My dear Mr Damon:
This will acknowledge yonr telegram, reading ae follows:
"A very large congregation at tbe
M. E. Chnrch voted to urge tbat you
sustain war time prohibition. Let us
take no backward step Cut have a
dry nation."
To which I replied:
'You may assure my friends tbat
the President will never influence me

I   am   first,   iast  and    always    opposed to the liquor traffic   and   there
is uot the least possibility   of anyone
ever influencing me to tbe contrary.
Very sincerely yours,
Gilbert A. Currie.
