 STRONG FOR DIX

New York, November 7.-Gossip of the hotel corridors and tho talk of the street had 1t today and tonight that the cam peign betting od6s in these last pre- cleo ticn hours were fiuctuating between to I and BE to ] on Dix. The republicans charged, however, that the betting is largely fictitious and that the prices are quoted for bets only in which no money changes hands" It was reported tonight that just after the close of the stock ex- change for the day one broker offered $2O GOO to $600o ou Dix and found no Stim- son takers. A bet of s6000 to 5000 that Dix would have a plurality of 5000 or more was reported.
 A considerable amount of Stimson money from Buffalo appeared this after noon but the askers want to 1 and found no takers.

Theodore Roosevelt tonight com pleted his campaign for the republican party, which has extended over more than a month and has been carried into New York, Massachusetts, New Hamp- shire, Indiana. Ohio and Iowa. In his own state Colonel Roosevelt has in great part been carrying the weight of the cams aisn on his own shoulders, and has found it burden which taxed his strength and which he was glad to lay down tonight. He was tired when it was over, but he said he had enjoyed every day of it.
 The colonel delivered two speeches this afternoon and six tonight, not including an address before birthday dinner given in his honor by the Hungarian Republican club and campaign speech in behalf of Representative w. w. Cocks at Astoria, l.. l.
 We are going 10 knock them through the ropes" was the way Colonel Roose- veIt put it in his speeches today. He continued his attack on John A. Dix, and at times switched his fire to MT. Dix's associates on the democratic ticket.
 wen beat them to a frazzle, said Colonel Roosevelt in his last speech on Manhattan island tonight And many of his hearers remembered that they were the identical words he had used on his way to Saratoga before the rout of the old guard republican state convention.

FINE ELECTION WEATHER

Washington. November Flair weather during election day is prophesied by the United States weather bureau. so far as the greater part of the country is con- cerned. New York will suffer most, according to the forecast, for in the northern and. western parts of that state there will be snow fur ries and the skies will probably be overcast. Voters In northern New England, also, will meet a simi- lar condition. There will be no snow in the northern Pacific states. but the skies will be overcast and there probably will be some raln- fall. Elsewhere in the country fair weather will prevail, although in the states of the upper Mississippi valley icicles may ornament the voting booths.

Tenne.see Ts in Doubt

Nashville, November 1.-The state campaign closed tonight with both sides expressing the utmost confidence as to the result. The fusion forces, led by B. w. Hooper. republican,, for governor, and B. A. Enloe, democrat, for member of the railroad commission, insist that their ticket will have from 8O,O00 to 45,00O majority, while the democratic leaders who are conducting the campaign of Robert l.. Taylor, for governor, and J. w. Thomas, for rail road commissioner, declare there is no doubt of democratic victory. Impar- tial and unbiased observers, however, believe the fusion ticket will win, but by a much smaller majority than the fusion leaders claim.
 The congressional situation shows little or no change in the pnst few days. w. Sims, the democratic con- gressman in the Eighth district. is In grave danger of defeat The margin between the parties in that district is small John A. Moons managers claim he will win in the Third by 20O0, but c. R. Evans, republican, expresses the belief he will have majority. There is not likely to be any change in the complexion of the other eight districts.
 The state campaign has been marked by such intense bitterness and so many complications and alignments that 1t is difficult to forecast results The fact, however, that the republican fac- tions are practically united and that many democrats vsill vote the fusion ticket enhances It's chances of success The polle open at ., m. and close a, AR 5 < l l l re&>

Tn the Land of Beveridee

Indianapolis, November 7.-With tradl- tional optimism the leaders of both the republican and democratic parties tonight predicted that at the polls tomorrow large mnjorities would be rolled up for their candidates for the legislature and the slate offices.
 Chairman Edwin s. Lee of the repub- lican state committee was sure that on joint ballot the next legislature would re- turn Albert J. Beveridge to the United States Senate by a majority of not less than 25tand Chairman Stokes Jackson oi the state democratic committee figured out that by the same majority John Worth Kern would be elected by the leg islature to succeed MT. Beveridge in the Senate.
 Non-partisan forecasters, however. pre- dicted that tomorrow's election would be one of the closest in Indiana's history, and the betting boards in Indianapolis tonight bore only even bets.
 The same legislature that elects either MT Beveridge or Mir. Kern to the Sen ate will also probably have to deal with the question of whether or not the Ire publican, county option law shall stand. The democrats have declared in their platform for the substitution of a law providing for city. ward and county town ship units in option elections. and Gov ernor Marshall has been making a stren- uous campaign against the county option law, denouncing 1t as miserable fall ure''

Republicans and Democrats Are Equally Confident
BITTER CAMPAIGN ENDED
Ohio While Many of Taft's Advisers Have Actively Stumped
 the State

Cleveland, Ohio, November T.-Each with 8 record of partial defeat in the two last state elections. the republican and democratic parties tonight are making their last desperate efforts to- ward a complete victory at the polls tomorrow.
 Twice the democrats have elect ed governor and twice the republicans have elected a legislative majority and the greater part of their state ticket. This year the campaign between Gov. Judson Harmon and his republican op- ponent, Warren G. Harding, has been exceptionally bitter Charges of graft have been levelled at state officials and employees of each party. The republican campaign has been diversified by an an- imated debate between it's progressive and standpat orators.
 feature of the contest has been the fact that Senator Charles Dick. nom mated by popular vote for election to the Senate by the legislature to be chosen tomorrow. has not been invited to participate as speaker at any major campaign meeting and certain Ol iHe IepuplicdH cdHulual6S TOT the general assembly have publicly pledged tn themselves to vote against him.
 While the democrats go before the people with no mention of national af- fairs except their platform indorse- nfent of Governor Harmon for Presi- dent, MT. Harding, aided by four mem bers of the Presidents cabinet. has strongly urged the claim that q re publican siccess would be construed as an. indorsc'nent of President Taft and his administration and republican de- feat would be blow at the ohioan In the White House.
 MT. Hardings personal campaign ended tonight at Marion and Governor Harmon consented to deliver an address at Toledo as a postscript to his regu- lar schedule.

Foss Confident of Victory

Boston. November 7.--Odds of 2 to 1 were laid today that Eugene N. Foss, democrat. would defeat Gov. Ehen $. Draper for governor tomorrow.
 Both sides claimed the election to- night the republicans by 47,o0O, and the democrats by 60,O00.
 The democrats predicted a landslide which they said would sweep into of- fee not only Mir. Foss, but the rest of the state ticket, majority of the con sressional delegation and a. sufficient number in the legislature to insure the defeat next winter of United States Sen ator Henry Cabot Lodge.
 Congressman E. N Foss, the demo- cratic gubernatorial candidate issued this statement tonight:
 "On the eve of election I feel more con- fident than ever of victory by the demo- crats in Massachusetts tomorrow I feel absolutely certain that we shall come to Boston winners by 250o0 votes, and equal ly as certain that Boston will add from 25 GOO to 30000 more. It Is an uprising of the people regardless of previous party affiliations such as Is rarely witnessed We have not reached high water mark The tide is still setting strongly in our direction.
 The high cost of living due to the high duties of the Payne-Aldrich bill, repub- lican revolt at Senator Lodge and boss rule are the leading factors in this great wave of condemnation that will engulf the republican party tomorrow"

New York, November 1.-The New York subernatorial campaign of 1910 passed into history tonight with Henry L. Stimson, republican candidate, and Theodore Roosevelt. his most prominent speaker, voicing their last appeals for votes. The final work on the democratic side was done Sunday night, when John A. Dix, head of the ticket, sent to MT. Stimson his answer to the 12 questions telegraphed by Stimson to Dix's home in Thomson.
 MT. Dix spent the last day of the cam paign at home. Mir Stimson occupied the morning preparing an answer to his rivals reply of Sunday night and the rest of the day and evening on the stump or in an automobile hurrying between f6Iiifaal rallies in Nv York city. < sfr. Sttmsons sse 1ua telegram ta Mir. liasl accused hirn Of eyading the issues put up to the latter by the republican candidate's message; it answered several accusations shot back by Dix and re- peated questions which Stmson consid- cred that Dix had left unanswered. Mir Dix said last night that his statement issued tken was positively his last word before election, and he repeated this as- sertion when Chairman Rodie of the dem- ccratic executive committee talked with him at Thomson by telephone this after noon.
 The Dix leaders declare the quiet that prevailed today on their side of the cam paign was itself evidence of confidence. sour party machinery upstate is in bet ter shape than at any time for the last 15 years"
 Chairman Prentice of the republican state committee said:
 I'm absolutely confident we'll carry the whole ticket and I don't think the vote will be close.'
 Lloyd .C. Griscon, chairman of the re- publican county committee. said:
 ''.rhe situation looks better today than 1t did two days ago."
 Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tam manly Hall as usual kept his opinions to himself.
 The democrats have high hopes of oust- ang three prominent republican congress- snen. In the Thirteenth district, Parsons, former republican county chairman, is opposed by Jefferson M Levy who once represented the district in Congress and who has attacked MT. Parsons for al- legged sugar trust affiliations. In the Seventh district William & Bonnet who was prominently mentioned for the re- publican gubernatorial nomination, is op-
 
 famous single tax advocate.

British Election Tactics.

British electioneering tactics have
changed. Electors are no longer kid
mapped and forced to lose the poll. The
minor details of the campaign, how
ever, remain the same. Mr.. LabOu-
chere. for instance. in his fight for
Windsor in the seventies canvassed
six hours each day for month, kissed
babies, complimented mothers and per-
'suaded fathers just as he would to-
day. But when the final survey was
made his supporters found that every.
thing depended on half dozen voters.
And here stepped in the diplomat. One
Tory who went to fish in a punt was
kept in the middle of the river until
his vote was useless. Another aged
and decrepit Tory was kept in the
house by cabs being put TO run al
him whenever he tried TO issue from
his door. The Liberals won. but the
Tories petitioned successfully.
