BATTLES ARE
ALMOST OVER
Bitter Election Contests in New
York and Philadelphia
lear End
JEROME SURE TO WIN
Mcclellan and Hearst Fight is Warm.
Weaver Claims victory...Fight
in Ohio.

New York, Nov. 6.-With tonight
VIII close the campaigns in several
OF the states and tomorrow the ballot
ing Will be done. While state and
county tickets are to be chosen in
many parts OF the country on Tuesday,
the interest in this years election cen.
ters in New York City, Philadelphia,
where Weaver is fighting the regular
Republicans, and in Ohio.
The biggest and most bitterly con.
tested struggles have been waged
in New York and Philadelphia.
The Philadelphia battle has become
so bitter that it has extended to the
entire state of Pennsylvania.
MayoraIity Fight Hot.
The battle for the mayorality of
New York, has been a most singular
three cornered fight, which has daily
grown warmer and closer, until on
the eve of election it has simmered
down to a contest between Mcclellan.
the candidate of corrupt Tammany and
Hearst, the independent Municipal
Ownership advocate. WINS, the Re-
publican candidate, appeared to be
slow third. Never has his candi-
dacy been taken seriously, for he is
the plaything of discredited state
boss.
jerome, who has made an independ-
ent fight for the district attorneyship,
is selected as winner by all par
ties. He is receiving support from
Republicans, Hearstites and Tammany
men alike. Everywhere he has been
given great ovations, and at the Je-
rome meetings, where the names of
Hearst and Mcclellan and WINS have
been cheered, the fighting district at
torney has received the united ap-
plause of the audience.
Jerome's Election Sure.
Poor Osborne, who was Jeromes as
sistant, and who allowed the law
breakers to nominate him to oppose
his chief, gets but little comfort out
of his meetings, for, although the reg
ular candidate of Tammany, the greet
ings he has received at the Mcclellan
meetings have been cold. Where the
Tammany mayorality candidate has
been received with cheers and shouts,
Osborne has been given but few
hand claps and his attack on Jerome
has proved anything but popular.
AS matters now stand the election
dope sheet picks Jerome as sure
winner. Mcclellan is a favolite for
the mavorality honors with Hearst a
close second. Odds on the mayorality
contest have dropped from 10 to to
about 10 to 8 and some money has
been placed even. However, the
Hearst supporters are still seeking
odds.
The straw vote taken by the New
York World gives the Municipal Own
ership candidate lead of about ten
per cent over the Tammany man,
while the candidate of the Republican
boss is out-distanced by about fifty per
cent. Tammany leaders made light OF
the vote, contending that it has been
doctored in the Office Of the World
to bolster up the chances of Hearst
Monster mass meetings, al
which the campaign will formally
close, will be held tonight by
all the mayorality candidates. Every
effort possible will be made to get out
great crowds. The meetings Saturday
night were we'll attended.
Fight in Philadelphia.
Philadelphia, Nov. G.-Mayor Weav
er and regular Republicans are botf
claiming victory on the eve of election
but among the people the changes OF
the reform mayors city ticket are sale
to be better than the chances OF the
regulars.
At least majority Of 10000 is the
claim of the Weaver men, while the
Republicans say that their county OIL
GERS will win by "safe majority"
Today closes the hottest campaign
ever waged in the city of Brotherll
Love. The Weaver men have broker
away from the regular Republicans
and are claiming that they stand fo1
reform in the government Of the city
All kinds of sensational charges arr
made by both sides. The regulars
claim that Weaver is trying to con
troll the election through the polic'
force. 1t is fact that the mayor ha
announced that any policemen foun
working for the Republican ticket viii
be dismissed from the department
On the other side the Weaverite
contend that the regular Republican
have stuffed the poll lists and that al
temps will be made to repeat votes
The names of many dead men, it |
said, have been put on the electio
register.
It was announced today that Mayo
Weaver may cause the arrest OF tn
