BOSTON, Mass, Nov. 6.-There Is no
reason to expect anything but the GUS
tomary Republican victory. Not since
1882 have the Democrats carried the
state. and tonight the election Of W.
Murray Crane. the Republican candi-
date for governor, Is conceded beyond
the possibility of a doubt. The leglsla-
ture also win be Republican by the
usual majority, only the manufacturing
centres and this city contributing to
the minority in that body. There are
no state issues and very few local con-
tests, so that conditions are more than
ordinarily normal. Good Judges place
the Republican majority between $4,000
and 6O,00O a falling Off OF the Repub-
llcnn vote from last year Of about Is
per cent is looked for, while It seems to
be generally agreed that with the help
Of the Gold Democrats there will be lit
tie loss in the Democratic votes and
perhaps a slight gain. The Republican
state committee put forth no definite
figures, asserting only that the candl-
date for governor win poll from 10000
to 1T5,O0O votes, while the Democratic
state committee predicts n vote OF no.

LOUISVILLE. KY Nov. GA quiet
and orderly election may be predicted
for tomorrow. While the feeling be-
tween the factions is at rather high
tension, the general apprehension, 1t Is
thought, will do more to lessen the
likelihood Of an outbreak than the pre-
cautionary activity which has been
noticeable to-day, among those who
are directing the movements OF the
municipal police and the state Nation
al Guard. II a clash should occur, 1t Is
most likely to be In Louisville. AT
Bowling Green, there has been q par
ticularly bitter fight between the DEM
ocratIc factions and extra police have
been sworn IN. But Rt this and other
larger towns nothing more serious
than the usual election day casualties
is expected. In Louisville, the great
est feeling has been aroused. One
Democratic faction controls the po-
ilce. while the other has made the al

number Of reports have been current
to-day as to orders said to have been

Of preparedness the Authorities are

Beyond the anxiety which springs from
knowledge Of the feeling aroused in
the campaign and the possibility, al
ways present in a city election, Of an
outbreak of trouble with q certain class
of political workers, there is nothing to
indicate that the services of the militia
will be required.
The campaign closed tonight with
large meetings which were addressed
by the state party leaders. The DEM
