MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Feb. 10 A
meeting Of the committee of arrange
ments of the Polish National alliance
was held here to-day to make. prepara-
tons for the great convention of
Poles to be held in NIL.
waukee in the fall Of 1909. Notwith-
standing that nearly two years will
elapse before the delegates will as
semble in Milwaukee, the occasion is
one of SO great Importance to the
Polish people that arrangements are
already been made for the entertain
ment Of the 900 regularly accredited
delegates who will attend the meet
ings, as well as the thousands of 9TH
ers who will accompany them. The
alliance is the largest Polish organ
ization in the United States, and
while it is primarily a fraternal in
surance organization, it has many
other aims, among them the preser
walton OF the Polish nationality, the
education Of Polish youths in the
higher branches when they show ar
aptness for learning, etc. In view o.
the effort being made by the German
government to Germanize Poland, the
meeting Of the alliance promises u
be of unusual interest.
The alliance was organized ii
Philadelphia twenty-eight years age
and has spread out all over the Unit
ed states, having a membership to
day of $4,000 in round numbers.

EXPERT OPINION PUTS
CALIFORNIA AMONG THE
FEW DOUBTFUL STATES

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 2.-Expert
opinion puts California in the doubtful
column as regards the national ticket,
and it is difficult to strike medium
between the 10000 plurality claimed by
the Democrats and the $4,000 that Cen
eral George Stone gives Taft in his
forecast.
In several of the larger cities local
contests are engaging a major share
of attention and national affairs are
regarded with something approaching
apathy.
1t is expected the Democratic mi
nority In the state legislature will be
strengthened to some extent, but not
sufficiently to affect the election of
United States senator to succeed
George c. Perkins.
Democrats base their strongest
hopes of breaking the solid Republican
congressional delegation from the
state on the campaigns waged against
julius Kahn in the fourth and e. A.
Hayes in the fifth districts. The Re-
publicans claim a victory for both.
Tt is conceded that the labor element
will cut a very considerable figure In
the result, but in California. as else
where in the country, a majority of
the workingmen is claimed by both
Democrats and Republicans. The state
will vote upon the question of electing
senators by direct vote of the. peo-
| pie.

BOTH PARTIES CLAIM
WASHINGTON; BRYAN'S
MEN ARE CONFIDENT

SEATTLE. Wash, Nov. 2.-The eve
Of election finds both the Republican
and Democratic parties confident of
success in the state of Washington
A careful poll by counties has caused
the Republicans to predict that the
state will go at least $4,000 for Taft
and Sherman.
The Democrats expect to carry the
state by at least 4600 East side Demo-
Gratis declare they will elect William
G. Goodyear to congress instead of
Miles Poindexter.
The illness of S. G. Cosgrove OF
Pomeroy, Republican nominee for
governor, is made the most of by the
Democrats and they say it means the
election of John Pattison.
John Y. Terry, chairman of the King
county Democratic committee and
representing the largest county or
ganization in the state, declares his
party will beat the Republicans in this,
their stronghold.
The state of Washington in 1904 gave
Roosevelt 101,540 votes. Parker re-
ceived 2S,098 and Debs 10,023.
The vote this year will be between
175,0oO and 200, 900. The returns through
out the state will be late, as the polls
in the municipalities open at 8 O'Clock
in the morning and close at at night
In the county precincts the polls open
at and close at 9.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2.-This morning.
Pittsburg Post contains an affidavit
that completely refutes the Campbell
statement, widely printed in the Hearst
papers, to the effect that at a hearing
before the ways and means COMMITTEES
in 1898 Mr.. Bryan had said laborlnS
men were public beggars."
The Post prints the affidavit of Simon
Burns, president of the window Glass
Workers, containing a copy of the
minutes recording this report or the
committee of labor men when it ap-
peared before the ways and means COM
mittee.
No reference is made in that report

Never Accused Before
Mr.. Burns says: "None of the COM
nittee ever accused Mr.. Bryan of say
ing union men were public beggars
until three years later, when Campbell
made his first attack on Mr.. Bryan in
the latter's first campaign for presi-
dent.
II am unable to keep silent when
read unfair charges made against MIR.
Bryan"
Mr.. Burns also swears that Campbell,
who made affidavit against Mr.. Bryan,
was indicted i'll the federal courts III
1890 for importing contract labor from
Belgium.
Notwithstanding the case was dis
missed, Mr.. Burns declares it was we'll
known that Campbell was closely af-
fiaiated with Chambers and always
worked for the interests of the manu-
facturers and against the members OF
his own association.

Plurality
LEV Associated Press.l

NEW YORK, Nov. 2.-National
Chairman Mack declared today the
vote tomorrow will show that Mr.
Bryan had been elected by a landslide,
sweeping the country from Atlantic to
the Pacific coast.
Mr.. Mack said Mr. Bryan and Mr..
Chanler would carry this state by any
where from SO. 900 TO $4,000 plurality,
and that the vote for both these can
didates would be about the same.
A report Of conditions in Ohio was
received at headquarters today from
National Committeeman CARRIER, who
telegraphed the chairman that the
Buckeye state on estimates of county
chairmen would give Mr.. Bryan plu-
rality of 26,13S.
Doodle Dees Scored
For the first time during the cam
paign Mir. Mack turned his attention
TO the independence party today ana
made an attack on Hearst's position
in this campaign.
He charged that Hearst had organ
lied party to defeat Mr.. Bryan be-
cause of personal jealousy and de-
sire for revenge because Mr.. Bryan
had not aided Hearst in his presidential
aspirations four years ago.
Mr. Mack left for Buffalo tonight,
where he will vote tomorrow morning
and then return here to receive the
election returns tomorrow night

VOTE OF SOCIALISTS
LIKELY TO BE HEAVY
THROUGHOUT OREGON

PORTLAND, Ore, Nov. 2.-With
their interest centered far more on
the result in doubtful states of the
east than on Oregon, the voters of this
state await tomorrow.
Great interest is expressed in the size
of the Socialist vote In Oregon. Debs
secured 7614 votes four years ago and
estimates on tomorrows results range
from 10000 to $4,000.
There is a total registration of about
1873 900 in the state and the general
estimate is that there will be about
107 900 votes polled if the weather is
bad and about $4,000 if the weather is
fair. The predictions are for bad
weather throughout the entire state:
AS to how these votes will be dis
tributed the conservatives and gener-
ally accepted estimate is $4,000 for
Taft, $4,000 for Bryan, 10000 for Debs,
5000 for Chain and 1850 for Hisgen.
Pleasant weather would tend to in
crease the Republican plurality.

!; RALLIES CLOSE CAMPAIGN
SAYS BRYAN DONATED
SERVICES TO CATHOLIC
LEAGUE WITHOUT PAY

CHICAGO, Nov. 2.-All kinds of false
stories have been circulated in this cam
paign against MIR. Bryan. On an equal
ity with this canard is the story
that Mr.. Bryan charged the Catholic
Women's league of Chicago an excessive
sum and depleted their fund for his lee
ture, "The Prince of Peace" VOluntar-
lily and without solicitation Mrs. =. J.
webb, the treasurer of the Catholic
Women's league, has brought to Chair
man AIack's attention this denial of this
false story, which is as follows:
"As treasurer Of the Chicago Catholic
women's fund raised on the occasion re-
ferred to, am entirely familiar with the
facts. The lecture was a very success
full event, and the amount raised for the
fund In question was $4,000. MIR. Bryan
made a special journey from New York
city expressly to keep the appointment,
and at the close Of the meeting informed
the committee having the lecture In
charge that he desired to donate his ser
vices to the philanthropy in the interest
of which the meeting was held. He even
refused to accept the amount of his trav-
cling expenses from New York to Chicago
and return"

TAFT FOR FILlPIN0S
WHEN WITH THEM, BUT
NOT WHEN HE'S HOME

are most affected by it--the F1lipinos
themselves-dO not entertain the same
high regard for his policy.
prominent and highly educated Fill
pinO, who Is travelling in the United
States, voiced the feelings Of his people
toward Judge Taft today. He said:
ITO the FilipinOs, when he is in the
islands, Judge Taft holds out the promise
Of independence, but when he turns to
the United States his expression is merely
for partial self government as he said
in his last report issued january. This
fast and loose game is not satisfactory
to my people.

lowers declare that the FilipinOs are con-

MONTANA REPUBLICAN
GREATLY REDUCES HIS
ESTIMATES FOR TAFT

BUTTE, Mont, Nov. 2.-Probably the
most significant feature of the eleventh
hour political sentiment in Montana is
the greatly reduced claims of the state
Republican chairman.
Last Tuesday Chairman Lanstrum
claimed that Montana would give Taft
and Edward Donlan for governor and
the balance of the state ticket ma
jorities ranging from 5000 to 10000.
Today Mr.. Lanstrum's estimate places
a plurality for Taft and Sherman at not
less than 2O00 with 5000 for Donlan.
State Democratic Chairman w. 3.
Georges estimate tonight is that Mon
tana Will give Bryan a popular major
ity Of at least 10000 and majority OF
5000 for the state ticket.

BRYAN'S PLURALITY~IN
COLORADO ESTIMATED
AT PROBABLY 1900

DENVER, Colo, Nov. AT state
Democratic headquarters 1900 is given
as the probable plurality for Bryan
majority and the Democratic state
ticket. The Republicans figure the same
estimate of the plurality for Taft and
their state ticket.
Both parties lay claim to the three
congressman and the Legislature which
will elect United States senator's.
The supreme court refused today to
appoint watchers at the polls in Huer-
fano and Las Animas counties where
the Democrats assert the Republicans
intend to return fraudulent majorities'
and a number of Democratic candi-
dates. including John J. Shafroth, NOM
+inee for governor, will personally watch
the election in those counties.

NEVADA ALMOST SURE
TO GIVE BRYAN HER
3 ELECTORAL VOTES

RENO, New, Nov Both the Re-
publican and Democratic headquarters
were busy today settling up affairs and
distributing badges.
More badges have been given out
this campaign than any previous year,
and floods of literature have been sent
broadcast, and on this is counted most
confidently.
There Is no change in the claims of
both Republican and Democratic chair
men, but from a conservative view 1t
is probable Nevada will give Bryan
her three electoral votes, and that
Newlands will go to the senate, with
the fight close for congressman.
There is not much doubt about the
rest of the Democratic ticket.

urAH's CAMPAIGN is
ENDED; BOTH PARTIES
PREDICT BIG VICTORY

SALT LAKE, Utah, Nov. 2.-The
campaign in Utah closed tonight with
meetings of both parties in nearly
every city and dozen or more in Salt
Lake City and county.
Both parties confidently claim the
state, the Republicans by 10000 for the
national ticket, the Democrats by 5000.
The fight for the governorship and that
in Salt Lake City county between the
Republican and American (Anti-
Chuch) parties monopolize interest.
Spry, Republican nominee for gov
ernor, will undoubtedly be heavily
scratched in favor of Knight Demo-
craft by the American voters in Salt
Lake county, but the open fight of
church leaders in favor of the Republt-
cans is expected to more than offset
this,
