Boston, Nov. 1.-The state campaign
closed Saturday night With numerous
rallies Ia Boston. Cambridge and ucin.
ny. The Republicaa and Democratic
forces Issued statements expressing cona.
donce In the outcome 81 the voting on
Tuesday. In the speaking senator Lodge
addressed q meeting In Cambridge, Gov.
curtis Guild meetings In Newton and
watertown. and Henry NJ. whitney, the
Democratic candidate FOR governor, raj
lies in Boston and Roxbury wards. Sens.
tor Lodge quoted authorities in Canada
20 show that that country was not
anxious for a trade arrangement With
the United States. In his lloxbury adj.
dress Mr.. Whitney acruscd the Rcpubli.
can state committee VI sending a circu.
lar 10 liquor dealers urging the contnbu.
ton Of funds 10 assist rs state cam
paign, Oh the ground that success was
endangered by ovcrconiidencc and ap
atlly.
In his statement on tho campaign H.
sued Saturday night, Chairman Buckley
Of the Whitney management saidi I'm
der the unusual political conditions nov
existing no canvass Of any value can, IN
my opinion, be made, and we have at.
tempted none. From all indications. q
comparatively light vote will be cast,
and l believe that this fact Is more
favorable TO the Democratic than 60 the
Republican chances. The political tide
u setting decidedly in favor OF the Dem.
ocratie ticket, and ! believe that our
strength will grow up 20 the closing Of
the polls. Tho fact " that the doubtful
and independent vote in Massachusetts
has become 50 large a factor that no one
can successfully estimate the result In
figures. We claim the election OF Nr.
whitney, il not the whole Democratic
state ticket, by safe margin
George IL Doty, chairman Of the Re.
publican state committee, saids while
the vote for the nominees for governor
ana lieutenant governor on the Republi
can ticket will be somewhat smaller than
last year, they will be elected BY
large plurality. Tho claims Of tho Whit
ney managers that Mr.. Whitney win
win are too absurd to deserve conadera
ton. To attempt to argue that mi.
nority party divided into three parts can
expect TO win over united majority
party 4 a problem IN mathematics in.
capable Of solution. AZ the same time,
II Is absolutely necessary that every Re-
publican should cast his vote in order
emphatieally TO protest against the pro-
cssdines of the Springfield convention,
as well IS 10 insure the election Of
governor who will treat all questions
which may come to him without bias |
and without stigma Of personal inter
est.
Under these circumstances, therefore,
predict that both Gov. Guild and |
Lieut.. Gov Draper viii be reelected by |
handsome plurality. We also conf
IDENTITY expect that the Republican party |
win be successful in roclaiming three |
senatorial districts and possibly four, |
reducing the representation Of the Dem.
ocratic party in the Senate to nine
members or less In order TO achieve |
these results, however, every Republican
who has the interests Of Massachusetts /
at heart and who desires TO continue the /
present able and clean administration Of /
state affairs must perform his duty and
vote. Political committees are power
less uHttsH tAH iAcAlbtie Va Nhf patAt w /
their full duty, and If that duty Is per
formed cur victory on Tuesday next
will be emphatic enough to satisfy every
citizen who desires to see the present
administration continued
Gen. Charles w. Bartlett, who was dc.
feated for the Democratic nomination
for governor at Springfield four weeks
ago, and who Is candidate for Office on
anti merger nomination papers, issued a
Saturday signed by himself and
George Fred Williams, asking for Demo
cratic support and reiterating his reasons
for continuing the contest. The circular
covers seven pages and reached the vot
ers yesterday, The only other time that
Gen, Bartlett has been heard from dur
ing the campaign was a week after the
decision Of the ballot law commission,
which gave Mr. Whitney the regular
nomination and inyalidated
his claim. IIis statement through the
press at that time was a defense OF the
action Of bis supporters at Springfield
and his claim that the real issue IN Mas
sachusefts was the threatened merger of
the Boston q Maine railroad with the
New York, New Haven and Hartford
railroad,
