CORTELYOU TOO MODEST.
Lieutenants Add to His Figures on
the National Result

CHICAGO, Nov. THE national
headquarters in this city were prac-
tically closed tonight, all of the Of
ficials having left for their homes.
The claims advanced at the national
headquarters of the Republican
party do not vary greatly
from the statement given out by
Chairman Cortelyou, but some of the
officials were somewhat more sweep
ing in their claims than the chair
man, saying that in their opinion

IN THE HoOsIER STATE.
Taggart Continues TO Profess Con
fidence of Parker Victory.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Nov. I'm
usual quiet prevails throughout In
diana on the eve of the election. The
Republican leaders refuse to change
their prediction that Roosevelt and
Fairbanks will carry InoIana by plu-
ralities variously estimated at from 20,-
900 TO $4,000 Democratic leaders con-
fcently assert their belief that Parker
and Davis will be successful in Indiana
but refuse to give figures.
The Democrats are also of the opin-
icr that John Kern, their gubernator-
ial candidate, will run ahead of the ma
tional ticket; that there will be much
change in the complexion Of Indiana g
representation in Congress and that the
next Legislature which, if the Repub-
lican national ticket is successful, will
elect two United States Senators, will
be Democratic.
Republicans scoff at such opinions,
contending that the next Indiana Leg
islature will be overwhelmingly Re
publican and that two Republican Con-
gressmen from the Sixth and Twelfth
districts will be added to the present
number of nine. J. Frank Hanley, Re
publican candidate for Governor, is
sanguine in his expectation Of election.
He is Of the opinion that his reported
connection with legislation inimical to
labor has not influenced his candidacy
adversely. At Republican State head
quarters it is believed that Hanley will
poll vote equal TO that of the national
ticket.
When asked tonight for a last word
concerning the outlook Democratic Ma
tional Chairman Taggart replied:
Indiana is reliably Democratic and
the vote will so show"
Republican State Chairman James P.
Goodrich sees a Republican majority of
80, 900 and the reelection Of a Republi-
can Legislature.
1t is conceded that the Prohibition
vote in Indiana will be increased this
year, but this contingency is not ex-
pected TO give either the Republicans
or Democrats an advantage. The Popu-
list vote is expected to exert less infiu-
ence than previously.
Harry S. New returned to-day from
Republican Western headquarters at
Chicago He Will vote tomorrow and
return Immediately to Chicago, where
he Will receive the returns. In an in
terview tonight he said:
Il honestly believe that we shall car
ry Indiana by majority equal If not
SURPRISING that of 19O0 We shall elect
the entire Republican State ticket and
carry both branches of the State Leg
islature. We shall certainly elect nine
Congressman, and 1 am confident of
electing two more. 1 think Gilbert has
got Robinson beaten in the Twelfth dis
trict.
Il think Roosevelt will not have few
er than Bis votes in the electoral col
lege, and I shall not be surprised If he
gets 800. He Will surely carry Connec-
ticut and New Jersey. Chairman Cor
telyou has left Nevada out of his cal
culations as a Republican State, but /
am convinced that Roosevelt will carry

New York. If Parker ever had any
chance he destroyed it by his actions

DES MONIES, Iowa, Nov. 7.--Iowa
Republicans are increasing their esti-

Well Known Attorney Is Candidate
for Railroad Commissioner.
He Hopes to Secure the Support o.
the Second District.
Would Make Capable Representative
For Southern Minnesota.
Lifelong Republican and Always an
Earnest Party Worker.
From Thursdays Daily.

From Thursdays Daily.
Attorney William E. Young today en-
tered the race for the nomination for
railroad commissioner, and he authoriz-
ed The Free Press to state that he is
candidate. He hopes to not only re-
ceive the support of the citizens of Blue
Earth county but those of the second
congressional district as well.
Mr.. Young is well qualified for the po-
sition of railroad commissioner, and be-
ing from the second district there is no
good reason why he should not receive
the nomination This is the only posi-
ton sought for by the second district
and surely it is entitled to this much at
the hands of the Republicans of the
state.
Another thing, southern Minnesota
should be represented on the railroad
and warehouse commission. This por-
ton of the state has vast interests which
must be cared for by that body, and the
regulation of railroad rates is of more
Importance to the people of this section
than almost any other one thing.
Mr.. Young is staunch Republican and
has been party worker. He has the
confidence of the citizens of Mankato
and they will undoubtedly give him
their hearty support. Mr.. Young is a
capable gentleman, man of independ-
ence enough not to be cajoled by cor
porate power and he has the push and
energy to make an ideal member of the
commission.
Mr.. Young has been in st. Paul during
the past few days. He will return to
Mankato tonight.

THE DEFINITION OF PLEASURE.

An agreeable sensation resulting from
a normal action of the physical organ
ism; form of feeling characterized by
physical comfort of satisfaction. That
may be all right, but more understand
able definition would be, "That agreeable
sensation that accompanies the first
breakfast of Pillsbury's vitos, the pure
wheat cereal food" Everybody under
stands that.
