(By Willis J. Abbot.)

CHICAGO, Oct 26.-This estimate
of the probabilities of election day is
wholly unofficial and not in any way
issued or approved by the democratic
national committee. In fact no MEM
Der of the committee has been Con-
suited concerning it. Amy official esti-
mate would be issued by Chairman
Norman f. Mack. So far as my earnest
devotion to William j. Bryan and to
the principles he represents has per-
mitted me to avoid prejudice, / have
attempted to do so. If / were a news
paper correspondent, wholly disasso-
clated with any political organization,
the table which is herewith issued
would represent my judgment
The wisest observers of this cam
paign confess themselves puzzled as
to its outcome.
The republicans are basing much
hope on the growth of the socialist
vote, and it is altogether probable that
it will grow somewhat although Bry-
ans nomination was the one thing
which could have relieved the situa-
ton, while his defeat would be the
OiiC eiiiiiS tilcil NOulU illdht
dangerous political issue in the ma
ton.
But as against this the democrats
are convinced that the prohibition vote
which is largely drawn from the ranks
of republican voters, will be greater
this year than ever before in the his
tory of that party. We hear of repub-
lican dissensiOns in various states.
Feud In Ohio.
In Ohio, Senator Joseph B. Foraker
is covertly attacking the republican
ticket, and all along the north bank
of the Ohio river in Indiana and Him
Ois, as well as in the Buckeye state,
the negro voters are almost q unit
against William H. Taft. We learn
and we believe that the forces of la
Dor are this year as never before
aiioned in support OF Bryan.
Put what is commonly called a re-
volt Of labor usually has its accompan-
iment a corresponding solidifving of
the employing classes on the other side
and evidences of this are not lacking.
If the personal characteristics and ex-
periences of the two candidates are to
be considered the much vaunted eX-
perience of Taft can be offset by Bry-
ans long study OF public questions,

twice did it cross the line. and then Il
was speedily returned. Once it was
within three yards of the coveted goal,
but in the hands of the university;
who punted out after a brilliant end
run.
The second half Whitman had it all
their way until five minutes of the
whistle Then by sheer weight by
luck and exchange of punts the ball
went down field. Time and again Whit
man punted held and punted, but the
university punted back. Then Coyle, OF
Washington, finally got punt and
ran it back 43 yeards, to within three
yards of the goal. Twice Whitman
held without giving an inch. Then a
Missionary was penaliZed and the ball
placed on the one yard line. Muckle-
stone, imported from the east for the
occasion by Coach Dobie, was pushed
over the line by three inches, COM
bination of luck and a penalty win
ming.
Whitman has nothing to be ashamed
made much more yardage, but Schmidt
was a trifle weak at puntlng. He
played heady game, however, the
best he has ever played for the maize
and blue. But Whitman needs more
offense. Her defense was good and
her offense more than fair. But tricks
and skill in forward passes are lack
ing. She should win easily from
Whitworth tomorrow.
The line up was as follows:

Making more yardage than their
heavier opponents, outplaying them on
their own grounds, and after having
won what seemed a certain victory,
Whitman college went down to de-
feat at the hands of the university of
Washington by a score of Go, Satur-
day afternoon, in Seattle.
Even the university had to admit
their team was outplayed by the
plucky little team of Missionaries and
at the end of the first half there was
not a man on the field who was will
ing to stake any money on the purple
and gold. Whitman money was freely
offered but with no takers.
Borleske was the star player of the
day Time after time the plucky play
er got away for yardage and never
was he missing in any play. When he
tore loose for a magnificent run of 40
yards, straight -arming man after man
until five university players lay in a
row behind him, and keeping on un-
til he had the ball planted behind the
goal posts, even the Seattle crowd got
up in their seats and gave him the

S5-yar1 gain.
Whitman surprised everyone, even
themselves. The big Washington line
could make nothing through the Mis-
sionaries BantZ, the touted big tackle,
was run all over the field by Wilson,
a new player for the college, who has
been an unknown quantity. Clemens
chased the varsity center around at

run Clemens was in the interference
Morrow held Babcock, who was more
than so pounds heavier and held him
well. Bassett was a star. Mathews
played an exceptionally fine game.
Proudfoot and Lewis played great
games at ends, and were into every
thing. Belt, at fullback, was a wonder
and time after time would come out of
the muddle and leap straight into the
air and capture a forward pass from
the university player just as he was
catching it. Cushman proved fast and
hard for the opponents of the maize
and blue to catch.
The first half the game was played

Northern Neighb0rS Having
Their Ballot Battle TODAY

OTTAWA, Ont, Oct. 26.-The fate
of the present liberal government of
Canada, headed by Sir Wilfrid Laurier
as premier, depends upon the battle of
ballots which is being waged in the
dominion today.
Ontario promises to go strongly
conservative. Quebec will again give
the premier the strong backing it al
ways has given, with a majority of
over so members. The chances of the
Laurier administration being defeated
are remote.
Liberals, led by Sir Alfred Laurier,
have been in office since 1896, having
been reelected twice in the interval,
though of Sir Wilfrid's first govern
ment Of fifteen members only Sir
Richard Cartwright, Hon. w. S. Field

Fisher and Hon. William Patterson
remain. Three are dead, two were
appointed to the high court, and four
retired. That Sir Wilfrid Laurier, If
his government is returned to power
again a third time, will retire four
years hence voluntarily has bee.I an
nounced by himself.
In the house just dissolved the lib
eral government had a majority of sc

Four new seats have been created
in Saskatchewan and three in Alber-

in the next house 221.
The principal backgrounds in to-
