BOTH CLAIM CONNECTICUT
Republican Forecast Gives Entire
Ticket Victory by 10000.
[By Telegraph to The Tribune.


New Haven, Nov. 5.--Senator Michael
Kenealy, chairman of the Republican State
Central Committee of Connecticut. tonight
claimed the state for Goodwin and the en-
tire Republican ticket in Tuesdays election
by 10000 This is almost exactly the ma
jority Governor Lilley was elected by two
years ago. when Tafts majority on the
same ticket was more than 40,000.
Edwin Thomas, secretary Of the Demo-
cratic State Central Committee. said that
Judge Baldwin would be elected Governor
by Seo0. He says he is assured of the elec-
ton of Thomas L. Reilly, of Meriden, can
didate for Congress from the I'd District
and feels certain of the election of George
P. Ingersoll. of Ridgeield. as Congressman
at-large.
Senator Kenealy comedies that the cleo
ton Of Colonel Andrew Shepard Rellly's
opponent for Congress from the Cd District
is doubtful, but he places Major John Q.
TiIson's plurality as Congressrnan-at-arge
as equal to that of the state ticket. He
denies that there is the slightest indication
of Democratic landslide.

THE ISSUE IN INDIANA
Beveridge's Seat at Stake OH Progress
sive Platform.
by Telegraph to The Tribune. ]


indianapolis, Nov. Whether Albert J..
Beveridge continues to represent Indiana
in the United States Senate or Is succeeded
by John W. Kern. Democratic candidate for
President in the last national cleo
ton. is the question Of overshadowing i'm
portance in the state.
Both parties have tried TO reach every
voter in the state and the campaign has
been crowded with speeches.
Senator Beveridge has made his fight as
a Progressive Republican and has every
where reaffirmed his opposition TO many
of the schedules OF the Payne-Aldrich tariff
law. against which he voted in the Senate.
He has the assistance of Theodore Roose-
welt. Clifford Pinchot and United States
Senators Ciapp and Cummins.
State Chairman Lee predicts a Republi-
can victory. but will give no figures.

JERSEYS FIGHT CLOSE
Republicans Confident and Dem
ocrats in High Hope of Victory.

Trenton. n. j., Nov 1.-THE campaign in
New Jersey practically closed tonight, and
both sides claim victory at Tuesdays cleo
ton.
United states Senator Frank o. Briggs,
chairman of the Republican State Commit
tee, estimates that Vivian NJ. Lewis, the
Republican candidate for Governor, will
have a plurality of %, 400. The Democratic
state chairman, James r. Nugent, predicts
a Democratic landslide, and says that
Woodrow Wilson will be elected by hand
some vote.
The Democrats count upon Dr. Wilson
receiving a large independent Republican
vote. particularly in North Jersey counties
where the Republican Progressives are
numerous. The Republicans are depending
for Mr. Lewiss election upon the labor
vote, but the Democrats declare they co
not fear any material loss in this direction.
The Democrats hope TO make a gain of
three Congressman through the carrying of
the 5th, 9TH and Sth districts. now repre-
sented by Republicans. They hope to carry
the 9Th because Charles N. Fowler the only
Progressive Republican Congressman in
New Jersey, was not renominated, but
Judge Runyon, who was nominated by the
Republicans in Mr.. Fowler-s place has de-
clared himself against Speaker Cannon and
the Republicans expect to win in the dis
trict. The 18th and Sth districts are in Es-
sex County, and the result will depend
largely on the Governorship vote in that
county. The Republicans and Democrats
both express confidence.
The next Legislature will have the Sc
lection of a United States Senator to sue
ceed James Kean. BY reason of the large
Republican hold-over vote in the state Sen
ate, it will require landslide for the Demo
Gratis to get the Legislature.

Splendid Victory

| Cleveland. Nov. 5.-The Ohio State cam

the campa ign. was the only speaker of note
! on the Democratic side.
For the Republicans Theodore Roosevelt,

AT the close of this campaign l am IN

in the prediction that the Republican party
will achieve a splendid victory on Novern-
ber s I am confident that I'VE will elect
Mr. Harding and every man on our state
ticket by substantial pIuralities. We will
have a working majority in each branch OF
the General Assembly and gain at least one
member of Congress-.
| The fight on the Republican side has been
the most Vigorous in years. In each of the

STATUS Of GID CONGRESS-
Chairman Mckinley Confident of
Working Republican Majority.
DEMOCRATS EXPRESS HOPE
Profess to Believe Party Will
Have a Majority of 81
Statements in Chicago.

Chicago. Nov. 5.-Statements regarding
| the control of the next House of Repre-
/ sentatives were given out to-day by the
| Democratic Congress Committee and Chair
man w. B. Mckinley, of the Republican
| Congress Committee. The Democratic COM
mittee believes its party will have a ma
| jority of 81 in the cd Congress, while Mr..
Mckinley, speaking for the Republicans,
| says he is confident they will retain control
by a fair working majority. The Demo
cratic committees statement follows:
1--WE believe that, after a careful and
conservative estimate of the political situa-
! tion, we will have a majority Of 81 in the
next House. We arrive at this conclusion
by giving to each party the districts which
we think they are reasonably certain to
carry, and dividing the doubtful districts
equally between them. While our gains
will be most pronounced in the East, they
will not be confined TO any special part Of
the country, as we have every reason to
believe that we will make gains in every
state which now has Republican represeu-
ia ion, with the possible exception of four.
and we do not expect to lose more than
two districts that are now represented by
Democrats
In the beginning of the campaign the
prospects for Democratic victory looked so
bright that We feared 1t would be only
temporary. We congratulate ourselves that
the revolt against the Payne AIdrich bin
and the Republican mismanagement of gov
ernment has grown each day since the
campaign began, until now It has become
so evident that a very overwhelming vic
tory for Democracy is absolutely assured"
Chairman Mckinley, in his statement,
says:
From the best reports obtainable from
candidates on the Republican ticket and
others interested in Republican politics
am confident that the Republican party
will control the SD Congress by a fair
working majority. The size of this major
ty-iD fact, the outcome of this election
viii be determined by the percentage of
the Republican vote of the country which
comes to the polls on the Sth of November
That the voters have taken but a slight in
terest in the pending political campaign is
evidenced by the small vote cast at the
primaries for the candidates on the several
tickets. This. 1t would seem, forecasts an
exceedingly light vote at che polls, espe-
cially in the rural districts, wheio the
farmers are enjoying unusual degree of
prosperity"
