DAVENPORT, Iowa, November Al. j.
Richardson, the Iowa member of the
National Democratic Committee, was
asked this evening by an Associated
Press representative for his views on the
outcome of tomorrow's election in this
State. Mr.. Richardson said that during
the past week he had received advices
from all parts Of Iowa of the most as
suring kind, enough changes being noted 4,
il his correspondents were not miein-
formed, to overcome the majority given
Governor Larrabee two years ago. In
this part of the State, Mr.. Richardson
said, many Republicans declare they
will vote for the Democratic nominee,
Boies, on account of his pledged opposi-
tion to prohibitory legislation. Mr..
Richardson is confident of the defeat of
the Republican ticket, and particularly
its head, Senator Hutchison.
REPUBLICAN oPrIMIsT.
Sioux Cry, Iowa, November A.
George D. Perkins, editor of the Sioux City
Journal, in an interview today said he
has no doubt of Republican success to-
morrow. He does not believe that the
effort to impair confence in Senator
Hutchinson among the friends Of the pres
ent railroad law, has succeeded. Hutch
ison has been outspoken in support of
prohibition, and thus invited whatever
antagonism the opponents of this policy
can muster. Mr.. Perkins expects the
Republican majority on joint ballot in
the Legislature will be increased, rem
dering certain the reelection of Senator
Allison. As matter of fact, Mr.. Per-
kins' says, the only fight is over the
saloon question.
MOST DOUBTFUL RESULT.
DUBUQUE, Iowa, November An. M.
Ham, formerly q member of the Demo-
cratic National Committee for Iowa, in
an interview this evening said the COM
ing election is the most doubtful of any
held in Iowa for thirty.five years. Most
of the Democrats expect to elect Boies,
and the Republicans as rule are more
frightened than they have ever been be-
fore. While prohibition is the great
stand Of the druggists, the Farmers ALI
ance and workingmen are all encourag-
ing the Democrats. Hopeful reports are
received from all parts of the State.
Great dissatisfaction has been
shown among the Republicans while
the Democrats are solid.
THE estate REGISTERS" VIEW OF IT.
DEs MONIES, Iowa, November 4.-The
State Register (Republican) says: Iowa
votes tomorrow for Governor and other
State officers and for members of the
Legislature who are to elect a United
States Senator to succeed Mr.. Allison.
This last fact has given the campaign
some national features, both parties hsv-
ing discussed the tariff issue to greater
or less extent. Aside from this the main
fight has turned upon prohibition, the
Democrats claiming it was failure and
the Republicans claiming that it is to be
regarded as the settled policy of the State
until the majority of the people demand
q change. The campaign, however, has
been of much less interest on both sides
than usual, and rather Light vote is ex-
pected tomorrow. Besides the Re-
publican and Democratic tickets,
the Union Labor party has
q ticket out which may receive five or
six Thousand votes. A few struggling
votes will probably be cast for the Pro-
hibition ticket, but the third party, as it
is called, is not popular in Iowa. The
Chairman of the Republican State Gen.
trail Committee is confident of the cleo.
ton of Hutchison by the big plurality Of
$1,000. The Chairman Of the Demo-
cratic Committee left for home today and
could not be seen.
