procession reached the armory. where more
than 1.500 people listened TO Mr.. Hanly,

His arguments were convincing and elo-

speech for the closing of the campaign.
John II. Barker. who is the owner or car
works in this city. presided, having just
returned from business trip in the East.
During his absence the Democrats circu-
lated the story among his LOO employees
that he intended TO vote for Bryan. Be-
fore introducing Mr.. Hanly he denounced
these stories as false, and said that the
greatest calamity that could befall the
American people would be in the defeat of
William Mckinley. He gave the laborlng
people something to think of. He said

Rival Demonstrations.

OMAHA, Nov. 4.-To-morrow will be
lively day in Nebraska and for an ante
election day will probably eclipse anything
of the kind i'm the States history. Both
Republicans and Democrats are preparing
for great demonstrations in Omaha in the
evening.
Mr. Bryan will speak at a dozen halls
after a days tour in the State, and the
Democrats plan to make il an eye-opener
for this Republican district. The Repub-
licanS will nave a monster parade and
barbecue, with a shotgun regiment and
lots of red fire.

registration has been exceptionally heavy
and the campaign has been thorough. the
vote in city and country is likely to be a
record breaker. The Republicans claim
gains among the farmers while the Demo-
Gratis expect an increase in the cities and

NO CHANGE IN IOWA,


DIES MONIES, Ia, Nov. 4.-No new de-
velopments have occurred to-day to change
the political situation in this State. If the
full Republican vote is cast the State COM
mittee claims the State will go $1,000 plur-
atty for Mckinley and Roosevelt electors.
But there is probability that the full
vote will not be cast because of apathy on
account of overconfidence. In some of the
larger cities and towns there is also dam
ger of the Acknowledgement of a consider
able number of the voters because of the
change in the election law which compels
the polls to close at z p. m. instead of hold
ing open until s or o'clock as heretofore.
The Republicans also claim they will re-
turn a solid delegation TO Congress. The
Democrats say they will materially reduce
the Republican plurality d four years ago,
but give no figures. They also say they
will elect at least two representatives and
possibly four.

BOSTON, Nov. 4.-The work of arousing
interest in the presidential election among
the voters of Massachusetts which has
been prosecuted with considerable vigor
by the party leaders and orators is nearly
finished. That fifteen presidential electors
pledged to Mckinley and Roosevelt will be
elected is claimed by the Republicans and
conceded By the Democrats, but there is
rot quite such an agreement to the Re-
publican plurality or political complexion OF
the Massachusetts delegation to the lower
house of Congress. The Republicans do not
hope for any such plurality as in 1896. when
Mckinley had nearly 10000 votes more than

BY INCREASED PLURALITY.
Mr.. Hunt Says the State Will BE Car
ried by Mckinley.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WINCHESTER, Ind, Nov. 4.-Secretary
OF State Union b. Hunt returned to his
home here yesterday from northern In
diana, where he has just been campaign
ing. For seven weeks he has been going
UP and down the State and during that
time has not only been doing an immense
amount of speaking but has likewise made
it his business to carefully ascertain the
situation, and especially to investigate the
dark side of the political battle viewed
from Republican standpoint. He unhesi-
tatingly affirms that the Republican party
will not only be successful, but that il will
carry the State by an increased majority
over four years ago If public and private
expression is to be relied on. Mr.. Hunt
has spoken in every county of the First
and Third districts and has made speeches
III every district save the Seventh and Thir-
teenth. He believes there will be some in
crease in the Prohibition vote of the State,
and that this will be more largely drawn
perhaps from the Republican than from the
Democratic party, although he is sure tnere
will be a surprising number of Democrats
who will vote the Prohibition ticket.
He has visited no agricultural community
where he has not found from five to twelve
Democrats who voted for Bryan In 1896
who win vote for Mckinley this year. He
met and talked with these people and is
satisfied their action proceeds from the
fact that they are satisfied with present
conditions on the one hand, and on the
other that they are unwilling to trust
Bryan, with his anarchistic views, assoc
ciated with and advised as he is by such
men as Tillman, Altgeld. Croker and others
OF that class. He also is of opinion that
the party will hold its own in the manu-
featuring districts or the State.
Mr.. Hunt made il a special point TO visit
those sections of the State containing large
numbers of German voters, and in view
of the Democratic claim that the Germans
were going to leave the party because of
the issue of imperialism took especial pains
tc ascertain their views upon this question.
He unqualifiedly asserts that the German
vote will be cast as it was four years ago.
Furthermore, he finds that German voters
resent the efforts of the Democratic party
to put them in a class by themselves. They
want it to be understood first. last and all
the time that they are Americans and de-
voted to American interests.

During the campaign various modes OF
iocomoti0n have been employed. For the
most part, of course, railway trains have
been utilized, but upon one occasion
freight cab00se was used In place or
passenger coach. Several carnage rides
were taken across stretches OF country,
ranging from i've miles 10 forty. and one
night was spent on a boat on Chesapeake
bay. Automobiles have also been used on
one occasion. There have been no acct
dents 10 either Mr. Bryan or members OF
his party. Mr. Bryan's health has inn
proved from the beginning of his tour
and he has never been under the necessity
or resorting to a physician for advice on
assistance. For the most part the weather
has been excellent.
