ARE CERTAIN OF II
Republicans Sure of a Sweep
of Everything Today.
ARE SURE OF EVERYBODY
And That Each Will be Elected
by a Big Majority.

The Eagle wiz display bulletins tonight
Of the election news from all sections Of
the country by sterioptcon in front Of
the Eagle building.
At this hour it may be said without the
usual enervesence Of campaign excite
ment that the Republican county cen
tral committee expect to see elected by
the people every man on the county
ticket that Governor Stanley viii carry
sedgwlek county by a large majority
that Long VIII carry the county by a
LARGE majority and that Mckinley and
Roosevelt VIII carry the county by
large majority, maiorities not equaied
in recent years
The Republicans are not looking for
anyone on the whole ticket to lose the
county The tenor Of all predictions
made on the Republican side last even
ing was for a clean sweep Of everything
The usual ante-electlon night apprehen-
son was marked for its entire absence
among the Mckinley men and the voters
who go to the polls for prosperity today
were never surer Of anything than they
are that the majority in this county is
to be phenomenal There is no element
of boastfulness in this but simply
quiet undoubtng confidence.
What was true as early as two weeks
ago was true last evening, that the ef-
forts of the controlling Democrats is
concentrated on the saving of Mr.. James
comfy. of Anidon & Comfy, for county
attorney. The chief work at the polls
on the part Of the controlling Democrats
today win be with this object Mr. Eek
stein. the Republican candidate, In spite
Of the most concentrated fight ever put
up against man in Sedgwick county,
viii win.
There is no dispute on any side about
large Republican gains in the country
These gains are accepted as fact and
some Of the Republican politicians are

SO far as the city Of Wichita IS con-
cerned the controlling Democrats here
acknowledge that there are tremenduous
Republican gains The Republicans be

largest Republican majority I'm its his
tory. so great in fact that It was fore
casted last evening that upon the whole
sedgwick county would show the larg-
est Mckinley gain, IN proportion to pop
ulation. of all the counties in the Unit
ed States
The Republican central committee does
not expect the candidates on the Mckin-
ley ticket to win by narrow majorities
but by big ones and every man on it is
considered safe.
DR.. Rose Of the Socialists, insists that
the Socialist ticket viii poll 500 votes in
the county. The Democrats and Repub-
lican politicians do not agree with him,
but DR.. Rose is positive that big sur
prise is in store for the hgurers. The
Democratic managers say the Socialist
vote wiz amount practically to nothing.
There is every indication that the local
election news wiz be late The vote VIII
he a heavy one and the ballot IS large
and it IS going TO be after midnight be-
fore the first precinct in the city reports.
The campaign grew in Intensity yester-
day afternoon. The warm sun admitted
OF street discussions and they could be
found on every corner. The candidates
were still making their final canvass, /
and the day closed with a single topic
