POINTS TO REPUBLICAN SUCCESS
Much Depends Upon the Outcome in
New York and Both Republicans and
Democrats Claim the statc--General
Opinion is Toward a Great Victory
for the Administration.

New 1OTk, NOV. a. - IOlt nttTlles
entered upon the last day of the cam
paign with expressions of confidence In
the success Of their respective candi-
dates.
Members Of the democratic commit
tee were at headquarters quite early
today and Vice Chairman Delaney
Ncoll expressed the opinion, which has
heretofore been given, that the demo-
Gratis would have sufficient number
OF electoral votes to elect Parker. Gov
ernor Odell, chairman OF the republican
state committee, before leaving for his
home in Newburch expressed absolute
confidence republicans would carry
New York state. Asked as to how
far Higgins would run behind Roose-
welt, he said thirty or forty thousand.
He said the democrats will have to
carry greater New York by more than
100000 In order to win.
At democratic state headquarters 1t
1t stated reports from all sections of
Missouri estimated the democratic
victory at $4,000 to $4,000 majority and
similar reports received at republican
headquarters show the republicans
have hope that the state as never be-
fore will show a republican victory.
Democratic leaders In Arkansas am
nounce they are satisfied with condi-
tions and assert the state will give the
usual majority for the national and
state candidates. The republicans
claim the democratic majority will be
somewhat reduced. M
The political campaign thruout Wis
consin being wound UP today with
speechmnking by adherents of all par
ties interested. La Toilette republicans
and democrats are both confident as to
the result. In the state the republicans
are practically sure of electing six con-
gressmen and the democrats one. with
four others In the doubtful column.
The opinion is general that the legis-
lature, which will elect a United States
senator, will be q deadlock.
Indiana republican managers are
confidently claiming the state by from
10000 to $4,000, while democratic man
ayers are making claims, but giving no
figures.
Additional bitterness was injected
into the campaign In Utah today by
the American party managers who
claim in many Mormon districts church
leaders gave voting instructions to the
congregations. The charges are strong
ly denied by Mormons.
Both parties claim Montana today.
Betting odds favor the success of the
republican electors and the democratic
state ticket.
Chicago, Nov. with activities of
the presidential campaign practically
closed, in nearly every state today was
devoted by party leaders to revision
of the forecasts from latest reports,
and holding Of conferences In reference
to the details of tomorroW's election.
With few exception the campaign man
ayers have had little cause to change
their estimates and predictions OF
Saturday and Sunday. With fair
weather promises for tomorrow in New
York, an extremely large vote is look
ed for in both city and state, and all
preparations for getting out the party
vote have been completed Both sides
continue to express the utmost conf1-
dence in the result, and as is usual the
day before election brings out stories
of colonization and alleged attempts
to force thru the state men not entitled
to cast ballot, but there is nothing
to show that the quiet Of the city is
likely to be disturbed. There will be
a full force of poll watches for each of
the parties, and every politician in the
city hall will be on duty. The courts
will sit all day to settle whatever dis
putes may arise.
In Rhode Island it is anticipated the
will be polled as result of the In
creased registration. due to intense in
terest in the presidency. Re
publican managers predict over
100000 majority for Roosevelt.
The only interest in Vermont has been
whether the republican plurality would
exceed that given Governor Bell,
in September.
State and congressional tickets are
the only source of anxiety in Massa-
chusetts, as that state is conceded for
Roosevelt. Neither party in Maine will
make any particular attempt to bring
out the vote, as it is believed the state
is safely republican. The chairmen of
both state and central committees ex-
pressed confidence Of carving Con-
necticut for both the national and
state tickets. Each chairman stated
the success Of his party will depend in
a large measure upon the size of the
plurality given by the cities in which
the so-called labor vote will be heavy.
There are indications OF many unex-
peete Iv close local contests over min
or offices, which, while they may not
affect the general result on national
and state tickets, may cause more or
less delay in the count tomorrow night.
A big vote is anticipated In New
Hampshire, and it is generally believed
the state will give Roosevelt good
plurality. There is democratic conti-
