county, Henry l., Hertz estimates that
a plurality Of $4,000 will be given for
Mckinley, which would make a gross
plurality of 17S.oo0 in the state. Ex-
trsvagant az these claims may seem,
Illinois politicians would not be sur
prised if the majorities were found to
be even greater when the votes are
counted.
In Indiana the second poll has beer
completed, although the figures have not
been announced. This poll is a careful
house-to- house canvass, made in each
precinct under the direction of the local
committee and computed by the state
COMMITTEES. Such polls have always
been accurate forecasts of the result Of
elections. This year private informa.
ton Is that the poll of the state reveals
that Mckinley will receive 125. 900 ma :
jority, and on that basis the Republi-
cans feel warranted In claiming 100, 900.
National Committeeman Durben be-
lieves that will be about the figure, and
he said yesterday that he did not see
how the majority for Mckinley could
possibly be under $4,000. making all pos
sible allowances, He believes that IL
will be nearer 100000.
National Committeeman Cummins Of
Iowa is equally confident that McKin-
ley's plurality In Iowa will,be a record
breaker. Iowa politicians are figuring
on plurality In the neighborhood OF
10o,000 brakes plurality In the guber-
material election last year was 60 900, and
reports received from every county in
dioate that McKipley's plurality will be
In excess of that.
Wisconsin Is regarded as even more
certain than any. of the other states. al
though no such large majority can be
given as by Illinois, because the state
contains fewer voters. Committeeman
Payne claims that Wisconsin Will give
Mckinley q larger percentage of her
vote than any other state. The Germans
who have been In the past the chief
factor OF Democratic success are almost
unanimously for Mckinley, this having
been largely due to the speeches Of Carl
Schurz and Postmaster Hesing.
E. v. Smalley believes that Minnesota
Is certain to give Mckinley over 80, ,00t
plurality. Advices received at national
headquarters indicate that the tide is
growing stronger and stronger toward
Mckinley. especially since Archbishop D
lreland's letter.
