MACK PREDICTS A
LANDSLIDE FOR
BRYAN
CHAIRMAN GIVES OUT STATE
MENT AFTER MAKING CAREFUL
INVEsTIGATHN-HE RECEIVED
MANY FAVORABLE REPORTS.

NEW YORK, Oct. 19.-Massing
all the forces of the militant democ-
racy in the final struggle of the cam
paign to capture the Empire State,
Chairman Mack of the Democratic
National Committee, bearing the pro-
phecies of victory, came from the
west to take personal charge of what
he declares will be the hardest fought
finish Of any presidential campaign
in this state Not only Mr.. Bryan,
but other democratic speakers of
note, including 8yeral United States
senators, will #kwing through the
state in an effort to capture New
York electoral vote for the demo-
cratic ticket.
Mr.. Mack asserts Mr.. Bryan will
be elected by a landslide, and in sup
port of this declaration made public
on his arrival here some results
which he had obtained from precinct
polls made in many of the So called
doubtful states. Mr. Mack said:
Il am firmly convinced Bryan will
be elected by landslide. Within the
last two weeks | have caused a care
full polls to be made by captains in
hundreds OF precincts in New York,
Indiana and Ohio for the purpose of
obtaining a percentage of republican
loss over four years ago. The result
of that poll was amazing. In no in
stance have reports made to me shown
a percentage of republican loss in
this state to be less than 25 per cent.
and in Erie county the losses to the
republicans ran to 40 per cent. Equal
ly large losses to the republicans were
shown not only in Ohio and Indiana,
but in twelve other states. which the
two parties are contesting The fig
ures mean only one thing - Mr..
Bryan's election by a tremendous plu-
rality. That these figures are correct
and based On a careful poll is shown
from the fact that | directed precinct
captains to submit with their reports
the names of republicans with their
addresses, who intended to vote for
Bryan"
