WILL CARRY STATE
BY BIG MAJORITY.

ans Believes Figures Will
Exceed 10000.
REPUBLICANS HAVE HOPES.
Their Usual Day-Before Election
Prophesies Are Made With
the Same Old Familiar
Sound.

Missouri will be Democratic next Tues
day by from 5000 TO 1900 majority" said
State Chairman w. N. Evans just before
leaving for his home in West Plains. so
far as / can learn Republicans will make
no gain IN the number Of their Congress
man. Mr.. Folk will undoubtedly run ahead
OF his ticket, owing to the great Repub-
lican support which he will receive"
The statement Of Judge Evans was
made after receiving reports from over the
entire State. In only one or two counties
is any trouble anticipated with fractional
fights, with the exception OF the Fifteenth
District, where Benton is being fought. It
Is thought hat he will receive enough
Republican support to secure his election
by u majority of about 1y5oo.
Harry b. Halves said Yesterday that the
Democratic city ticket would be elected
AT our meeting Of the Ward organiza-
ton Committee this afternoon the most
conservative reports place the majorities
for every man on the ticket at above 5000.
IF there is no treacherv. the majority
will be greater. Only the basest party be-
trayal can beat the ticket. We are count
ing upon the good citizens of st. Louis
to do their part in the effort which We
have made to give them a clean ticket,
and n they keep their many personal
promises no doubt regarding the result can
be felt. In South st. Louis. especially, is
this effort appreciated"
