can State Chairman Elkin and Democratic
State Chairman Garman this morning make
strong claims for their respective guber
natorial candidates ElkiE gives estimates
by counties to support his prediction that
StCne will have I31, 900 plurality. while Car
man figures out plurality of 5000 for

falling off in the following of Swallow. the
preacher candidate of the prohibition and

pendent voters of the two leading parties
aad largely favored during the earlier part
of the campaign.
This change of sentiment from Swallow
Is principally due to the evidences of har-
mony among the democratic leaders and
the favorable indications now prevalent for
the election of jerks. Many of those op-
posed TO the leadership of Quay have con-
cluded that vote for Swallow will be
wasted. whereas Stones defeat would be
made possible by centralizng the indie
pendent vote on jerks. OF the million
votes expected to be polled, the republican
chairman claims H5,GOU for Stone and con-
cedes Swallow 100000. The democratic
chairman claims 40. .0nO for jerks and con-
cedes Swallow 10000.
