Beveridge and Kern
Both Very Confident
CBy United Press Leased Wire.

(By United Press Leased Wire. }
INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. with
both John W. Kern, democrat, and
Albert j. Beveridge, republican,
confidently claiming that tomor-
rows election will be a personal
endorsement for the United
States senatorship. the result here
is believed to be doubtful by most
political dopesters.
The silent" vote is the deter
mining factor. 1t is estimated
that fully 80 per cent of the vot-
ers who will go to the polls tomor-
row have not indicated the party
they will support. and a sweeping
victory for one side or the other
is expected.
Beveridge will close his cam
paign at Bicknell tonight, and
then go to his home in this city
to vote. Kern speaks in LaFay-
cite tonight. His home is also in
Indianapolis.

LaFollette and Merritt
Fighting Tt Out

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
SPOKANE, Nov. with the
campaign practically closed, spec
ulation is rife here as to the out
come of the fight in the Third con-
gressional district between Will
liam LaFollette, progressive re-
publican, and Harry d. Merritt.
While LaFollette seems to be the
favorite, both because the district
has been strongly republican in
times past, and because he is
known to stand for the same prin-
ciples as Miles Poindexter, the
progressive republican candidate
for the United States, who swept
the state so completely at the
primaries, yet the democrats claim
they will carry eastern Washing
ton because of the alleged split in
the ranks of the republicans.
Merritt is said to represent the
machine end of politics in the
fight, and has been a close friend
of the local municipal adfflinistra-
ton. He is counting on dissatis-
faction in the republican ranks to
augment his strength. A further
element on which he is counting is
