careful and unbiased review of the
situation throughout Maryland indicates
that the result will be very close, with
the chances in favor of Mr.. Warfields
election as governor.
Chairman John 3. Hanna of the republic
can state central committee this morning
made the following statement:
I'm my opinion the republicans will win.
We anticipate that fully 10 per cent of the
independent voters will support Mr.. Will
Hams We will carry a majority of the
counties and Baltimore city. The legisla-
ture will be close. but we will have ma
jority of six on joint ballot. We will carry
at least two democratic counties and re-
duce the democratic majorities in Others
Chairman Murray Vandiver of the demo-
cratic state central committee said:
My prediction is that Mr.. Warfield will
be elected governor by from 1900 to To-,
600 majority; he will carry Baltimore city
by about 5000 We will have ninety votes
joint ballot in the legislature and will
elect democratic senator to succeed Louis
Z. McComas."
Mr.. Williams the republican candidate.
said: From what l hear and what l have
seen, the outlook is, l believe, most en-
couraging. This is all l care to say about
the election"
Mr.. Warfeld, the democratic candidate,
confidently claims a landslide. He said
his majority in the state may go as high
% 200.
Thus, while the democratic leaders seem
to be confident and while they have had
an abundance of cash, the fact remains
that under the present election law the
party will win that suffers the smaller
loss through the rejection of ballots.
Well-Known Politicians Prediction.
well-known democratic politician, who
makes close study of the situation on
the eve of each state election, made the
following forecast of the result in the
counties:
Carroll, 100; Charles, 500; Dorchester, 100;
Frederick, 200; Garrett, 800; Kent 100;
Prince Georges. $50; Washington, 300 To-
tai, 1850.
Warfield-Anne Arundel, 300 Baltimore.
1000; Cecil, 200; Hartford, 800; Howard, 800;
Montgomery, 400; Queen Annes, 400; Som
erset, 100; Talbot, 100: Wicomico 500; Wor-
cester, 500 Total, 400.
Thus it will be seen that neither candi-
date will come to the city with anything
approaching a decisive majority. Just how
the city will go no one at this time ac-
curately forecast. 1t must not be lost
sight of, however. that the democrats have
all the advantage. They are in control of
the election machinery. the police and 9TH
agencies that have proven useful in
times past. There are 100000 voters on the
registration books of this city, and about
90 600 will present themselves at the polls.
If 10000 ballots are thrown out as faulty,
then $4,000 will elect 1t is reasonably GER
tain that that number will suffice anyhow
If the prohibition and socialist votes
amount to anything.
The democrats claim they will carry the
city by about 5000 majority and the re-
publicans claim it by $500 Neither of the
city chairmen has furnished figures in
support of these claims, however. AS a
