There will be $1,000 fewer votes cast

parties
Chairman Cyrus Leland Of the Repub-
lican state central committee and Chair
man John W. Breidenthal Of the Popu-
list state central committee both agree
that the total vote cast at next Tues
days election Will be in the neighbor
hood of zs0.O0O, while two years ago the
vote exceeded 325. 90; this means that
there will be $4,000 fewer votes cast than
two years ago.

dent and express their belief that their
party will have an overwhelming vic
tory.

Overmyer l think will get $4,000 votes
AID Pickering's vote ! do not believe will
exceed 5000. l have not figured on it,
but think the vote on the suffrage
amendment Will be very close and my
estimate is that the total vote cast viii be
in the neighbOrhoOd Of 2S0,O 600
major Morrill, viii run ahead Of his
ticket, but Blue for congressman 1t large
will run close with Morrill, We viii
elect our entire congressional ticket

have from 5000 to 3, 500 majority.
I'm the Second district Miller viii be
elected by plurality Of 5000 or 5000

rill Will get 1000 plurality ia that dis
trict
~Morrill will carry every county in the
First. Second, Fourth and all but one in
the Third district and doing that the
Populists can't come anywhere near
catching up to our procession.
"N are gong 10 elect eighty out of
the 125 members of the legislature
There are three candidates for
representative in about forty
eight districts; during the last
five or six days about half a dozen Dem
have Withdrawn. but there are still about
forty ight counties ia which there will
be a three -cornered fight. and two years
ago there we're only thirteen districts in
the entire state in which there was not
an absolute fusion. We are going to
have eighty members Of the Legislature
