Republicans Win Illinois.
CHICAGO, Nov. 1T is admitted by the
leaders of both parties that the chief fight
will be in Chicago and Cook county. Both
parties are claiming the county by plurali-
ties ranging from 20, 900 to 80. 900. The re-
publican managers say they are absolutely
certain of victory, while the democrats as
sert that the strong labor representation on
the county ticket, coupled with the pledge
to support public ownership of public utili-
ties, will bring them a stronger labor vote
than they have ever had before and as
sure them a victory. The most important
fight OF the election is on the congress-
men. Both parties predict victory in the
Sixth district, but the republicans are
conceded the First. Second, Third and Ninth
districts and democratic victory is con-
coded in the Fourth, Fifth and Eighth. The
state delegation in congress consists Of
eleven republicans and eleven democrats.
The republicans claim they will gain eight
congressman throughout the state. The
democrats do not claim a majority in the
next state delegation.
In the light for the state legislature.
which will elect a United States senator,
the republicans claim. including doubtful
candidates. they will have 121 members OF
the legislature, while the democrats assert
they will have 1O7. There seems TO be
every probability that the republicans will
control the legislature.
SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Nov. 1.-The cam
paign in South Dakota practically closed
with the meetings held in nearly all the
principal towns of the state last night. The
republicans are claiming the state by ma
j~orities of from 20, 900 to 0.OOO. In some
counties the democrats and populists have
not even made nominations for the prin-
cipal Offices. In other counties, where the
democrats and populists have fused, they
are hopeful of some measure OF success.
CONCORD, n. H., Nov. 1.-senator Gal
linger, for the republicans. says he expects
a plurality Of 5000 for governor. He con-
cedes slight gains for the democrats in the
legislature and county Offices. Both re-
publican congressman will be reelected.
The democrats decline TO give figures, but
say the party will make astonishingly large
gains.
Both Claim to win.
SALT LAKE, Utah, Nov. THE demo-
cratic and republican state chairmen claim
the election both of the congressional and
supreme court candidates and of a ma
jority Of the executive candidates. The
legislature will elect a United States sem
ator to succeed Senator Rawlins.
DOVER, Del, Nov. 1.-The campaign for
the election OF a congressman and mem
bers of the legislature, which will elect
two United States senator's, closed tonight.
The republicans are divided into two fac
tions, the Addicks and anti-Addicks. and
1t is believed the democrats will elect their
congressional candidate and possibly enough
legislative candidate to elect two demo-
cratic United States senator's.
INDIANAPOLIS. Nov. 1.-The campaign
in Indiana will close tonight, and both the
republican and democratic committees are
claiming the state. The democrats say
the republicans wi. lose one or two mem
bers of congress.
Both sides CONFIDENT.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. Both sides
here claim a victory, the republicans as
sorting that Judge P~ennypacker will de-
feat R. E. Pattison, the democratic candi-
date for governor, by at least 100, 900 ma
jority. The democratic leaders, on the
other hand, are confident of success. They
have made a strong effort to change the
complexion of the legislature in the hope
of defeating Senator Penrose next March.
CHEYENNE, Wyo.. Nov. Little inter-
est has been felt in the campaign this fall.
The indications are that the republicans
will control the elections, though the demo-
Gratis expect to reduce the majority Of two
years ago and hope to increase their rep
resentation in the Legislature.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 1.-The political
campaign in California closed tonight with
big demonstrations by all political parties.
California this years elects a complete set
OF state officials, a legislature and eight
congressman. AS usual. both republicans
and democrats claim they will make a com
plete sweep. The situation in San Fran
cisco is interesting. The union labor party,
which elected Eugene Schmitz mayor last
year, has nominated a candidate for con
gress in the Fourth and Fifth districts, and
the same men have also been nominated by
the democrats. There is some doubt
whether the republicans can win against
this combination, but it is very probable
they will elect the other six congressman
