face Of danger few days ago. when he
deliberately walked UP and kicked in a

and menacing Arabians guarded the place

followers of Mohammed became highly in

arrayed themselves before him and de-

Secretary Hogan of Illinois State
Central Committee Says Democrat
ic Strength Is Underestimated.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL
Chicago. Oct. 29.-Dennis Hogan. secre-
tary of the Democratic State Central Com
mittee of Illinois, said to-day:
illinois will do its share toward the Sc
lection of Judge Alton B. Parker, and. un-
less the voters are reniss in their duties,
the November election should show several
surprises to our friends, the Republicans.
People who talk Of this being quiet
campaign do not know that noise is not
always a necessary accompaniment Of
vote-getting.
1.-The Illinois State Committee has been
content to cut out a great deal of the
Grassland feature and to appeal to the
people of the State as rational beings in a
rational way.
This whole campaign has been an ap-
peal to reason and conservatism. The man
who is going to vote for Parker is not the
kind OF a man who is shouting all he
thinks from the roof of his house or the
curb of the street.
$50. if he is an old-line Democrat, who
has not been in sympathy with the partys s
course at all times in the past. and is IN
sympathy with 1t now, he is not talking
very loud. He Is just getting ready to
vote. and that is all that is necessary.
1.-The strength of the Democratic sup
port and the effectiveness of the Demo-
cratic campaign. have been underestimate
ed by some Republicans, but they are not
the Republicans who are close to the Sit
uation.
1.-THE politicians who are best informed
know how uncertain this election Is. Law
renee Stringer has made thorough can
vass and everywhere has had enthusiast
tic and ,weIl-atterded meetings.
THE State ticket Is being supported by
all elements of the party. which Is more
bar 1t
eight years. November will tell the
story"
Plans by the local political managers
have been made for the closing week Of
the campaign. There will be great many
meetings, some large crowds and q few
brass bands but no torchlight parades or
other outdoor demonstrations. 1t Is expect
cd excitement will go little higher than
waa expected in this campaign.
The Democratic managers are In a bet
ter humor than at anv time since the open
ing of the campaign. Thev declare the
hopes of the Republicans In pulling on
sweeping victory In Illinois have been
aba andoned While not discussing the re-
suit for presidential electors. they declare
positively that Senator Stringer will be
elected Governor.
They express complete confidence In the
success of the Democratic ticket. The dis
satisfaction with the Yates-Deneen COM
bine has had the effect desired by the
Democratic managers. The Republicans,
they say who strove for the overthrow
of the old Republican bosses. are now con-
fronted with a distasteful set OF bosses in
the Neutrality-suspicious. man-Dowte-Madden
combine.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Washington, Oct. 2s.-Representative W.
8. Cowherd of Missouri, chairman of the
Democratic Congressional Committee. to-
day gave out an estimate of the results
Of the elections for members of Congress,
in which he claims that the Democrats
will gain the next House of Representa-
tive.
"As the situation stands at present" :"
said Mr.. Cowherd. the prospects are that
the Democrats will carry 225 out of the
3s6 districts In the United States. In the
following estimate / have included the
States Of Idaho. Utah and Wyoming.
These are all doubtful as matters now
stand.
The Democratic chances are excellent
in two OF the three. Our gains ;n the
East will be due largely to the strength
Of the national ticket In the Middle
West .hey will be due more particularly
to local dissensions in the Republican
ranks. The long hold on patronage has
bred much trouble in Republican districts
and the Democrats will profit correspond

This dispIeased them. and three of the

BENBOW AGAIN
DISAPPOINTSCR0WD
Aeronaut Decides at Last Minute
Not to Make Airship
Flight

Thomas c. Benbow Of Montana disap-
pointed a large crowd yesterday when he
decided not to send up his airshfp "Me-
teor'' after the positive announcement had
been made that he would give another ex-
hdbition
A large crowd had assembled at the
Aerodrome on the Worlds Fair grounds to
witness the flight Of Benbows atrship, but
at the last moment he changed his plans
and the Meteor" was returned to the in
terror Of the big building. He stated that
the changed atmospheric conditions had
caused him to call the exhibition OF
When the airship was brought out Zen
bow stated that It was too full of gas. and.
after letting some out. claimed that there
was not enough gas. A crowd OF 1.5oo per
sons had paid admission to the inclosure
to witness the flight Of the ship. and they
departed disappointed. and much unfavor-
able comment was made on Benbcw's
failure to make the ascent. He tried the
machine for some time. At go o'clock he
started up the machinery, and the Meteor
sailed near the ground toward the fence.
Reaching the west fence, the machine
was turned and came back to Its original
position. where ballast was removed and
much work done about the ship. people
waiting to see 1t make the start Among
other things removed from the ship was
the pair Of carrier pigeons Benbow was to
take with him.
T. 9. Baldwin, whose airship was sailed
over the city last Tuesday by Roy kna-
benshue, has announced that his machine
lacks speed and is packing 1t up for re-
moval from the Fair grounds. While the
flight of his ship was satisfactory. he stat
ed that It lacks speed. and as 1t cannot
make more than twelve miles an hou. II
Is useless for him to enter the contest for
the 100000 prize offered by the ofiicials Of ,

The Exposition officials are desirous Of
having him stay. and he was offered 800
hibits, to make another try. but has not
given his final reply to the request.
Harry Wells. Benbow's assistant. has at
tached a new belt to the propeller Of the
Meteor, which he believes will materially
inc, ease the speed of that machine and
stuted that the weather permitting. Ben
bow would make another ascension during
the coming week. and probably each day.
