DEMOCRATS HAVE LITTLE
 BEST OF TT IN NEW YORK

New York, October 31.-Three days be- fore the municipal election of 1903, we'll informed men on either side of the strug- gle find themselves unable to predict the result of Tuesdays election. It seems probable that the election will be very close, and that a few thousand votes will decide whether Seth Low or George B. Mcclellan will be at the head of the city's government for the next two years.
 William s. Devery, who is running in- dependently. Is not regarded seriously as a candidate. Tonight the campaign prac- tically closed with hundred or more po- litical meetings on either side
 All the leaders today issued estimates of large majorities for their tickets, Charles F. Murphy claiming the election of the democratic ticket by 100000; M. Lynn Bruce and R. Fulton Cutting de- claring that Low would be elected by about S2,000, as many as in 1901 or more.
 EvenDevery said his election is cer- tain.
 The existence of wholesale colonization in number of assembly districts in Manhattan and the Bronx was revealed today by the examination of more than 1000 witnesses, who were summoned to various police stations on subpoenas is- sued by State Superintendent of Election Morgan. From the testimony of these witnesses it appeared that the illegal
The Birmingham age-herald., 1903-11-01

registration amounted to several hun dred. No less than $50 eases were ois- covered in the fifteenth assembly dis- trict alone, in which six huhoreu WI nesses were examined by one or the SUI perintendents deputies. ,.
 The unusual step of summonlng Wit nesses for examination in several houses was taken in accordance with plan ar ranged by Superintendent Morgan anu Police Commossioner Green.
 The assembly districts concerned are almost wholly in the poorer districts Tn the east and west sides of the city, Ill which men can easily rent rooms for short time without exciting suspicion. In nearly all instances the witnesses testihed that the persons suspected did not live in the houses from which they were reg istered. Arrests will follow the attempt to vote of any of the persons accused.
 Looks Like Mcclellan.
 New York, October 31.-The Brooklyn Daily Eagles canvass of the probable vote in Greater New York in the coming election, based upon returns received from about 25,0Oo voters, indicate that Mcclellan will carry the city by about 4S, 919 plurality. In Manhattan and the Bronx, and in Queens his pluralities are foreeasted at 9,643 and 1492 respectively, while Low, it is indicated, will carry Brooklyn by plurality of 1349 and Rich mond by S61.
 Devery's vote according to the Eagles figures, will be 13T20, of which nearly all will come from Manhattan.

ROOSEVELT CALLS FOR
 GENERAL THANKSGIVING

Therefore, in thanking God for the mercies extended to us in the past, we beseech Him that He may not withhold them in the future, and that our hearts may be reused to war steadfastly for good and against all the forces of evil, public and private. We pray for strength and light so that in the coming years we may with cleanliness, fearlessness and wisdom do our allotted work on the earth in such manner as to show that we are not altogether unworthy of the blessings we have received.
 Now, therefore, I, Theodore Roosevelt president of the United States. do hereby designate as a day of general thanksgiv- ing, Thursday, the 26th day of the com ing November, and do recommend that throughout the land the people cease from their wonted occupations, and in their several places of worship render thanks unto Almighty God for his mani fold mercies.
 In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.
 Done at the city of Washington, this, 31st day of October, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and three, and of the independence of the twenty eighth.

KENTUCKY CAMPAIGN
 ALSO COMES TO A cIosE

Louisville. October a.-A flying trin rom Coyington into Louisville with numerous speeches en route brought to a close the campaign of Governor J. C. w Beckham for reelection His opponent Col Morris Belknap. who is wealthy Louisville business man, and a Spanish war veteran. wound up his seven weeks work by speech at the Auditorium to- night.
 The contest has been remarkable for It's vgor and has been characterized bv considerable bitterness.
 Colonel Belknap made his fight prin- cipally on the pardon record of Governor Beekham, while the cry of the demo- crats has been that a vote for Belknan means the pardoning of those convicted of the murder of Governor GoebeI.
 False registration in Louisville has been charged by both sides. and on yes- terday the republicans swore out one hundred and sixty warrants, which thev say they will have served on election day when those charged with illegal registra- tion appear to cast their ballots.
 It is believed that the democrats will carry Louisville by 3000 to 5000 but the re- publicans claim they will come to town with more than enough to offset this. The

Montgomery. October st.-(special.)- Sewanee had an "easy thing In Auburn today. By the one-sided score of AT to o, one of the feature football games of the south went to the mountaineers
 The once powerful and stalwart Auburn tigers were as babies in the line against their opponents. They never even car ried the ball sufficiently near to their opponents goal to make the game inter- esting. On the other hand, 1t is mooted question if sewanee could not have made the score greater had they desired.
 The wearers of the purple went into the game with the intention ot preventing score !y tltn aatago- nists and they found their game an easy one. The localssupporters of the Auburn squad had hoped for a score against Se- vance by virtue of the hard work done by the Auburn team since their unex- pected defeat by Tuscaloosa a week ago. This work did not count for anything to- day, and really the team seemed weaker than when they met the Alabamians. came into evidence.
 Sewanee Played Snappy.
 Sewanee, on the other hand, played snappy, fast ball. They practically kept control of the ball throughout the game. When they needed a gain it was secured, md xxI0t
 nents, apparently it was a weak point.
 Phillips, the big Sewanee guard, was the star of the game. He scored more gains for his team than was made by all his opponents. The Auburn boys could do nothing with him. Whenever he hit the Alabama line there was break, and only once during the game did his opponents hold him from a gain.
 Shaffer, half-back for Sewanee, also played a brilliant game, as did Colmore and the two Kirby-Smiths. Auburn had two stars, Captain Paterson and Allison. They were equal to their opponents in every play but unfortunately for Au- burn there was no others like them. The detail of the game is uninteresting.
 Details of the Game.
 Sewanee kicked off. and securing the ball on a tumble, scored a touchdown by fierce line bucklng within the first five minutes of play. Colmore failed to kick goal, the only failure of the eight op- portunities presented.
 Auburn then took a strong brace. and for fifteen minutes they played their op- ponents to standstill. Finally securing the ball, Sewanee began to send Phillips against the line, and it was rare when he failed to get fve-yard gain
 The first half ended 23 to 0, and in the second "A more points were piled up, Phil lips making seven of the touchdowns. There was fair crowd in attendance, about 11O0 Football had to combat a cir GUS and a very popular matinee. Ro- botham (Tuft's) of Memphis was referee and Tutwiler (Virginia of Birmingham umpire. Perfect satisfaction was given.
