Des Moines will 60 republican by
fifty thousand plurality, according to
estimates and predictions of the re.
publican central committee, and will
go democratic by a plurality of be.
tween twenty thousand and thirty
Thousand. according to the democratic
estimates. Between twenty-five and
forty thousand republicans is con.
servat1ve estimate. There Is little
possibility OF the democrats getting a
majority in either branch Of the legis-
lature. Indications are that the vote
tomorrow will be heavy.
Democrats Gain One.
Chicago, Nov. 5.Since closing the
campaign on Saturday night both
Chairman Boeschentein of the demo-
cratic state central committee and
Chairman West of the republican COM
mittee have husied themselves In OBJ
tanning what they term an accurate
forecast Of the result of Tuesdays
election. Their estimates Of results
differs very widely. Boeschenstein
claims the democrats will carry Cook
county by ten thousand votes, and
that hey will certainly gain six to
eight congressman West asserts tina.
the republicans will have plurality
of at least thirty-five thousand Ia Cook
county. He allows the democrats one
congressman in addition to the one
they already have in the twentieth
district. 1t is admitted generally that
the Legislature will elect republican
successor to Senator Cullom.
Continues to the Last.
Columbus, O., Nov. 5.-The day be.
fore election found many campaign
speeches scheduled the fight contln-
uing to the last. The claims of the
respective chairman have attracted at.
tention, but the apathy which has
made necessary an extremely strenu-
GUS campaign was still apparent, and
a falling off In the vote is generally
anticipated. AS comparisons will be
made with the vote for governor last
year when Pattison, democrat, had
over forty thousand plurality, decided
republican gains will be necessary for
a victory.
