CIGAR FIGURED IN
WINNING BIG FIGHT.
M ajor- General Fred D. Grant Tells
How His Father Acquired Habit
of Smoking.

DETROIT, Mich, Nov. 3.-Major-
General Fred D. Grant, who is presid-
ing at the court martial now in session
at Fort Wayne in the western suburbs
of this city, said to some friends here
that the cigar that initiated his father
the late President L. S. Grant, into
the tobacco smoking habit really fig
ured quite strongly in the winning of
the battle of Fort DonelsOn. Speaking
of this incident, General Grant said:
My father was in conference with
Admiral F'oC:e on the latter's flagship
and had just accepted a cigar from the
admiral when word came to him that
the right flank of his forces was being
repulsed. Hurrying ashore, and gallop-
ing on Il fleet horse to the battlefield,
he succeeded in rallying his forces so
completely that chaos was turned into
victory. Gen. Buckner had to comply
with my fathers demand for an I'M
conditional surrender.
The newspapers took up the fact
that father had rushed from the war

ship to the battlefield without taking
Admiral Foote's cigar from his mouth.
The dispatches from the front told how
father had come onto the battlefield
cool and collected and peacefully
smoking a long black cigar.
People who read the story began
sending congratulations and presents
of cigars. Tens of thousands of cigars
came and my father smoked many of
them. 1t made a confirmed smoker of
him. But he did not smoke as many
cigars as people imagined he did
Sometimes one cigar that he would
frequently relight would last him from
breakfast until luncheon. 1t was the
fact that he almost constantly held a
cigar between his fingers that made
people describe him as a great smo-
kerr

NEW YORK, Nov 3.-Claims and
counter claims are being made by both
parties as the days voting nears an
end. Both parties are confident +
electng their national ticket, but the
republicans have practically given UP
hope Of Chambers election. 1t is con-
coded he will carry the state by a safe
majority Bryan and Taft, as far as

ming neck and neck and the chances
are that the CommOner will pull out
ahead
Little business is being transacted
in the city today and politics is the
sole subject of discussion Many spe-
cial police are patrolling the streets
and polling places. It is feared that
n any voters in some of the congested
districts will be disfranchised, owing
to inability of the election officials to
carry on the ballOting eXpeditiOusly
under the new law. Chanler is appar-
entity running far ahead of Hughes in
this city. and big Hughes vote up
state will be necessary TO save the
governor from defeat.
The independence party vote will
likely cut little figure, but the social
lists are casting a heavy vote in some
sections of the city The socialists
claim that Hillquit the candidate for
congress from the Ninth district, is
far ahead and that he will certainly be
elected The police department is pre-
pairing to handle an unprecedented
election night crowd.
