Democratic Vote

Democratic Vote.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
BALTIMORE, Nd, Nov 3.-The election ma
chinery is working smoothly and quietly all
over the city. Up to this time there has been
no disturbance, and the day promises to be an
uneyentfui one. The indications are that the
full democratic vote is being polied and that
there will be the usual democratic majorities
all along the line.
headquarters say they have no doubt whatever
of the election of the entire state and municipal
tickets, the former by an increased majority
The republicans do not appear to be bringing
out their fnll vote and in n grent many wards
they are voting the democratic ticket In the
sixth ward the negro vote is being largely cast
for Latrobe, the democratic candidate for
mayor.
The independents are putting forth tremen-
dous efforts today to fortify themselves in
several directions. They have enlisted in
their cause some Of the shrewdest practical
politicians in the city. and while the demo-
Gratis evidently believe that they will be able to
elect their whole ticket, they feel that they
must have every vote that belongs to them in
order to receive such majorities as will make
that election valuable in its effects on next
year.
Congressman Harry Wells Rusk, chairman Of
the democratic city executive committee said
today that he was confident that the entire
democratic ticket will he elected by 5000 ma
jority and that for the city council the demo-
crets will carry every ward with the possible
exception of one.
WAKEFIELD CONFIDENT.
g. Davies Warfeld, the independent and re-
publican candidate for mayor, claims from
$500 to $500 majority for himself and Marbury
for state i attorney. Other independent lead
srs claim that not only will Wariield and Mar
bury be successful, but that the in
dependents will carry the second legis-
lative district and have fighting
chance in the first district. At the republican
headquarters the main interest is conferred in
the third legislative district and the eleventh
and sixteenth wards for city council, all OF
which they expect to carry. There seems to be 10
DOUBT whatever that the democratic leaders
honestly expect Latrobe to have at least 4, 600
majority and that they will Lot be surprised at
any larger majority. He may get up to 5000.
II it goes above this figure it Will indicate an
unexpectedly great division Of the republican
votes. The democratic leaders also feel pretty
although at one time the as
saults made upon him rendered some
of the more timid of them doubtful. A
great reaction has undoubtedly set in,
and the tenders Of support received
by him from leading republicans and
votes. The independents have been making
strong efforts within the last few days to cap
ture the large Bohemian vote in East Baltimore,
the democratic stronghold. but the democratic
managers had them all out and in line early
this morning
The democrats have made house-to-houss
canvass in some of the wards. they claim with
very gratifying results Some of the leading
Grand Army men are openly advocating the
! election of Latrobe and Kerr, the democratic
candidates for mayor and states attorney.
Some sanguine democrats are now claiming
that Kerr will run ahead Of his ticket. bu: this
is not probable.
The polls are open from q. m. to 6 p. m,
and with the blanket ballot the counting will
be a very tedious process and will not be com.
pleted until late here tonight. In some Of the
remote counties, particularly southern Mary
land, it will be impossible to get any accurate
information today.
