Election!
CHAIRMAN MACK ON
NATIONAL RESULT

New York, Oct. "a. National
Chairman Mack authorized a
statement today in which he
claimed the election Of William
Jennings Bryan by a landslide.
Mr.. Mack announces that his
reports showed that Mr.. Bryan
would receive at least 301 cleo
toral votes, or ffty-nine more
than is necessary for a choice.
Mr. Mack's forecast of the. cleo
ton follows:
The rumbling and thunder of
the Bryan landslide in the West
are already heard in the Eastern
States, and today / can confident
" predict the election of Mr..
Bryan. That landslide in the
West will extend to the shores
of the Atlantic. It means the
Democratic national ticket viii
carry every doubtful state in
this section, and in rocked-ribbed
Republican districts nlajorities
of that party in recent years will
be reduced to minimum. Bas-
ing my forecast on the most con-
servatiye lines, in view of the
optimistic reports have received
from all sections of the country,
II figure that Mr.. Bryan will have
at least 2Q1 electoral votes, or
fifty nine lore tha hecesl
for al cl0ice This corr fort BE
majority viii be increased rather
than decreased when the vote is
counted.
In addition to the 166 votes
of the solid south and in this I
include Maryland am confident
that Mr.. Bryan will carry New
York, New Jersey, Connecticut,
Idaho, Montana, Colorado, Ne
braska, Nevada, Indiana, Ohio,
Delaware, Kansas and South Da-
kota a total Of 3O1 votes. All
over the country there is a change
of Is to so per cent. from the
Roosevelt vote of. 1904 to Mr..
Bryan.
"The result is no longer in
doubt in New York. The thirty
nine votes of the State are assur-
ed for Mr.. Bryan. He will win
by a substantial plurality. The
Empire state can no longer be in
cluded in that territory called the
enemy's country. / speak from
information gained from a thor
ough canvass and reports from
every county in the State. !"
