New York, Nov. e--Quiet tfme6 marked the Sunday preceding the eicc- ton at the headquarters of both Stats Committees today. Governor Cde1I would make no further predictions than have already been made that New York would cast its vote for Roosevelt for President and Higgins for Cover nor. Democratic Chairman Cord Meyer was not at headquarters today but State Senator McCarren. Chairman of the Executive Committee. repeated his declaration that Parker would be elect ed and Herrick would carry the State.
 The only official utterances were those of Tammany and the Republicap County Committee concerning the vote in New York City.
 New York. Nov ss--Charles H. Mur~ phy. leader of Tammany Hall. when asked for final estimate on the re- suit of the election. tonight said;
 Every indication points to great Democratic success. refrain from disclosing the figures which warrant this statement. because I do not wish to risk the chance of Illegal methods ia certain localities defeating the welfare of the people.
 'Tn six years have given accurate estimates of the city vote. only to find the Odeil managers provided by fraudulent election returns to overcome the citly majority. Prudence dictates now that the Republican management should not know in advance the major ity which New York city will give for the Democratic ticket"
 Halpin's Statement.
 William Halpin. Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Republi- can County Committee, tonight gave out a forecast of the result in which he estimated 154,0eo votes In New York County, New York. for Roosevelt and 196,000 for Parker with about 0,900 votes going to the other candidates.
 Continuing he said: T do not esti- mate that the difference between the vote of Roosevelt and Higgins iu New York County will exceed 11.000. So that should Higgins receive i4s.00e as against 207,000 for 'Herrjck. plurality of 5000 for Herrfck in New York County.
 If one did not have to keep Tn mind the considerable Democratic majorities cast in New York County in the years gone by it would be possible to estI- mate that the majority against Roose- welt in New York County would be less than 42.000 and against Higgins less than e4.000. But in any event cannot see how these figures will be exceeded"

KANSAS.

Topeka. Kas.. Nov. 6.-It is conceded by the Democratic State Committee to- night that Roosevelt's plurality in Kan sas will be about 10000. but 1t is claim ed by the committee that the Demo- cratic ticket will be elected because of complicated ballot system in this State which probably will result in many defective ballots if much scratch ing is done. It Is believed that thou sands of Republicans will vote against T. J. Kelly, Republican candidate for reelection to the office of State Treasu- Ter against whom serious charges have been made in the conduct of his office.

FREIGHTS CRASH
AT LENGBY :
Extra West and East Bound
Way Freights Meet on
Main Line.
ENGINEER MURRAY OF EXTRA
SUSTAINS SLIGHT INJURY.
Engines and Cars Demolished and
All Traffic Tied Up Since
$50 Last Night.
An extra west bound freight

An extra west bound freight
and the east bound local way
freight collided at Lengthy at
$50 last night. Several cars OF
merchandise were derailed and
both engines were badly dam
aged. Engineer Murray Of the
extra freight sustained slight in
juries in jumping.
The collision was the result OF
confusion regarding a meeting
order at Lengthy. The local held
the main line and the crew we're
unloading way freight. The en-
gineer Of the extra expected the
way freight to take the siding,
and whistled off before the east
end switch was reached. AS
soon as the mistake was discov-
cred the brakes were applied and
the engine reversed, but the
train could not be gotten under
control in time to avert the disas-
ter. Both engine crews jumped.
The engine of the extra was of
the 100 type. the largest in use
on the Great Northern and the
way freight engine was a mogul
of the 500 type. Both were badly
damaged.
The wrecking outfits from
Carman and Cass Lake went to
the scene at once and have been
busy clearing the line ever since.
ALI traffic in both directions was
tied up at the wreck until one
o'clock today. No. 20, east bound
due in Bemidji at 1924 last night
did not arrive here until 2.3O to-
day and was run as first No. IA.
The west bound trains cleared the
wreck about noon.
Lengthy is about thirty-fve
miles west Of Bemidji and had
been designated as the meeting
point for the two trains by an
order received atone of the sta
tions west of here by the extra.
The crews of both taains have
been called to Crookston for an
Investigation and discharges will
no doubt result. Just who the
blame will be fixed upon does not
seem to be plain at present.

BOOK SHOWER 5. 0 |, ! I is
PLANNED
In
Ladies Library Association
Announces a Unique
Undertaking.
SHOWER TO BE HELD WEDNES.
DAY EVENING, MARCH 9.
Hoped That the Plan Will Swell
the Number Of Books in
the Library.

The Ladies Library association
have planned a unique entertain.
ment in the nature of a book
shower to be held at the city hall
Wednesday evening, March 8.
The object of the shower is to
interest all the people Of the city
in the attempt which is being
made to build up a public library
and to give every one an oppor-
tunity of contributing something
toward the library. Almost every
one has a book or two or three or:
more which they would probably
willingly donate toward a public
library if given the chance. This
shower gives the chance.
At the book shower a program
will be rendered and a lunch will
be served. The admission will
be one or more books. The
scheme has proved a great sue
cess in other cities and there is
no reason why it should not so
prove here.
The use Of the opera house has
been kindly donated by Mr..
Wheelock for the occasion and
the Bemidji stringed orchestra
has also donated it's services and
the occasion will doubtless be one
of the events of the season.

There will be drill, tableaus, a
cantata, declarations and q mum

iect of the entertainment should
warrant the most liberal patron
age and it will no doubt be cheer
fully accorded. The admission
will be 25, 35 and so cents.
