IN THE OLD DOMINION.
Estimated That / $50, 600 Votes Will Be
Cast Tomorrow.

Special Dispatch to The Star
RICHMOND, Va, November 8. - One
hundred and fifty thousand votes will be
cast in the state tomorrow, when a full
state ticket, members of the general as
sembly and county and city officers are
elected
Those are the figures given out by men,
bers Of the two political parties represent
Ing the leaders and the nominees. Some
few overzealous men incline to the belief
that the total vote will exceed that figure,
but those best informed see no reason to
The democrats will receive 5000 and tho
republicans will receive $4,000 This gives
the democrats a majority of 5000. There
is no reason to believe that it will fall be-
low that figure.
Basing the total vote at 10000: some
enthusiastic republicans make bold to say
that Swanson will not win by more than
5000, and, on the other hand, some demo-
Gratis assert that it will be $1,000 or more.
Some days ago Senator Martin said he
thought the vote in the state would give
Mr. Swanson about 10000 and it is be-
lieved that he based his calculations a
knowledge Of the situation. Conservative
men. however place the figures at 25,OOO

and he Is not departing from his rule and
making one. He simply says the state Will
go democratic, adding that the size OF the
majority for the ticket depends on the size
of the vote. He does not fear defeat at
the hands of the republicans, laying stress
on the fact that the apathy OF the demo-
Gratis may reduce the size Of the majority.
The complexion of the next legislature
will be overwhelmingly democratic In
formation from a source that cannot be
other than reliable gives the republicans
five of the senators to be elected tomor-
row. They are the following Districts
First, third seventh. twenty-third and
twenty-fifth. This will give the republicans
eight members of the senate. they having
three holdovers at this time. leaving
the democrats with majority Of twenty
four over all.
These counties are regarded as extremely
close. with chances favoring the republi-
cans: F1uvanna and Goochland, King and
Queen. Lancaster and Richmond. Madison
and Greene Pulaski and Stanford and King
George. Giving all these districts to the
republicans, the democrats woJld have In

HERRICK's CHANCES.
he and His Opponent Working Up to
the Last.

Special Dispatch to The Star
COLUMBUS. Ohio. November Con the
eve Of the election both parties In the Ohio
campaign express confidence in the result
OF tomorrow's elections. There has been
no relaxing Of efforts on either side. Both
Gov. Herrick and Mr.. Pattison. his oppo-
nent are spending the last day in hard
campaign work. Gov. Herrick Is invading
the western reserve, where the temperance
and anti-boss feeling prevails In the largest
degree.
Today he speaks in Oberln and Eyria.
the former the home OF the Anti-Saloon
League and the latter the home of Repre-
sentative \. r. Webber. who refused to
speak for the governor because he would
not repuhiate George b. Cox and disavow
the liquor interests that are supporting
him. So far as the AntiSaloon League
opposition to Governor Herrick Is con-
cerned 1t seems to have lost strength in
the last two weeks of the campaign. Its
leaders made the mistake of beginning the
fight too early or fighting too fast or both.
1t seems to have run out of ammunition.
The bossism issue easily took precedence
over 1t in Importance some time ago and
Is the principal factor in the election now.
Some surprise was caused by Chairman
Dicks estimate Of the result, given out
Saturday. From what he had said earlier
In the week 1t was expected that he
would claim plurality equal to that Of
concession of loss to Gov. Herrick Of
nearly 10000. The best reports from Gin
cinnati indicate that not more than 250OO
for Herrick can be expected there. 1t Is
more likely to be about 10000. In Cleve-
land Tom Johnson is practically sure of
reelection as mayor and this means that
Pattison will probably carry the county.
The independents will probably carry
Toledo electing Brand Whitlock mayor.
A poll made by the Columbus Dispatch
indicates Herrick will carry Franklin coun-
ty. That has not been generally expected
In one other large county. Montgomery, the
governor will probably have majority not
less than 5000 1t seems wholly lmproD-
able, therefore. that the governor Will have
$1,000 plurality in the large city counties.
1t Is in the rural districts that the gov
ernor will find dead loss of votes, there
being general opposition to him among
the farmers with little or no saloon and
German democratic element from Whicn
to gain an offset as he will do In the citles.
More than half the total vote OF the state
Is in the purely rural districts and municl-
palities below 5000 population. While GOV.
Herricks reelection is indicated therefore.
il would seem from these facts that Chalr-
man Dick has his figures too high.
The rest of the ticket will more likely
have about the plurality Senator Dick men
tions, and the governor about 5ooOO less.
or about 10000. The legislature is quite
sure to be republican in any case, but little
interest is taken as to that for the reason
that no United States senator Is to be
chosen by IT.

FIGHT ON SANITARY BOARD.
A Light Vote is Expected in Chicago
Tomorrow.

BY Associated Press.
CHICAGO, November 6.-With a general
expectation on all sides today that the
vote will be light, managers OF both the
republican and democratic organizations
expressed confidence of victory at the polls
tomorrow. Republican claims are the more
sweeping. however. and are based upon al
legations OF a more thorough organization.
Managers have found 1t almost impossible

the election may be determined largely by

Uncertainty in Ohio.
BY Associated Press.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, November 6.-One of
the hottest campaigns in the history of
Ohio closed Saturday night with roar of
emphatic oratory and in a haze of un-
certainty as to the outcome. The chair
men OF the two parties gave out estimates
based on a poll of the state which were
far apart TO add to the uncertainty
rather than to indicate a possible middle
ground
For the republicans Senator Dick said
that his poll-most conservatively made
indicated that Governor Herrick will be
reelected by not less than $1,000 plurality,
while Chairman CARRIER of the democratic
committee announced that an extremely
conservative summing UP OF his poll of the
state showed q certainty of John NJ. Pat
tison's election by $500 plurality.
This state OF uncertainty has character
iZed the entire campaign, Notwithstanding
the positive way in which the campaigners
have discussed political bossism, saloon
regulation, insurance legislation and rail-
road rates. Governor Herrick's reelection
has been opposed by the anti-saloon league
because. 1t is alleged, he had usd the veto
power as a threat to force changes in the
Brannock law providing local option for
residence districts. and by the democrats
on general principles, but with the addi-
ton of bitter attacks on him because OF
friendship for George b. Cox. the republi-
can leader in Hamilton county. who was
denounced as a boss" To these attacks
the republicans replied that the changes
made in tho Brannock law were necessary
and beneficial. and that the "boss;sm
charge was local to Cincinnati and should
not be held against Governor Herrick,
whose reelection had been earned by a
sound business administration.
II Is reasonably certain that Ohio VIII to-
morrow decide to do away with the annual
elections and vote hereafter only in alter
nate years. A pending constitutional
amendment provides for biennial elections.
and as this received the formal indorse-
ment of both the democratic and republican
conventions, II became thereby part or
each ticket and every straight ticket will
be counted for the biennial elections.
