Ing of the polls less than "a hours
away, the leaders OF the two great par
ties are giving their attention TO the
last details of what has been one OF
the most interesting campaigns in
many years. Mr.. Taft will speak this
afternoon In Cleveland and tonight
winds up his fight for the presidency
at Youngstown, going thence to Cin-
clnnati to vote tomorrow morning. Mr.
Bryan is touring northeastern Kansas
and expects to reach his home in Lin

The Democrats claim that Mr..

Greater New York to more than off
set even an unusually heavy Republic
can vote from up state. They claim
that party unity prevails in every
q decade and are depending upon the
la Dor vote, they declare to turn the
tide in their direction.
The result as to the state tickets
remains in the balance and the COM
1idcnt claims of success put forth by
both sides are apparently based more
upon hope than upon definite infor
nation. Political observers here de-
clare that there has never been Il
state election more difficult to fore
cast. Leaders of both parties agree
that Gov. Hughes will run behind Mr.
Taft but the Republicans say that
the difference will not be so great
MS Ia the mpcril governors chances
for reelection. They base this claim
partly upon the opposition to Gov.
Hughes which developed prior to his
nomination, the unity of the Demo-
cratic party, the personal popularity
claimed for the Democratic candidate
up state, and to the historic fact that
New York governors running for q
second term usually receive a greatly
reduced vote.
There are so many different phases
and so many varying elements entering
into the state campaign this year that
PARTY lines seem bound to be broken on
both sides and the usual political means
Of forecasting the result are apparently
useless The best opinion seem to be
that the state Is in doubt and that |
only the counting OF the votes can be
depended upon to determine the result.
