New York, Nov. 4.-The most Wig,
orous presidential fight in recen,
years came to an end, tonight, with
the leading candidates for the ma.
tion's chief office continuing their
personal appeal to voters almost tc
the last moment.
President Taft, speaking from his
train in Ohio, on his trip to Cincin.
natl, Col Roosevelt addressing vot.
ers at Long Island points close to
Oyster Bay, and Gov. Wilson ad-
dressing meetings at Passaic and
Patterson, gave to the conclusion Of
the long campaign touch Of per-
sonal activity that emphasized the
interest in tomorrow's balloting.
More than the presidency Is at
stake in the elections tomorrow.
The Republican forces have concen-
trated their efforts in doubtful
states to prevent an over-turning of
local organizations or capture of
legislatures in states heretofore Res
publican. The Democrats have made
an organized assault @upon a. nuns
ber of states to control the lcgis-
lures so that the majority in the
United States Senate may be swung
to the Democratic column.
Against Republican predictions
that the Senate will remain Republi-
can, Democratic leaders tonight de-
clare they have enough states to give
them the Senate and to swell great
ly their majority in the House of
Representatives, which they cap
tured in 1910.
Influence Of Women Felt.
The influence of women In the
campaign probably will be greater
than in any previous election.
Each national headquarters has an
organized bureau to appeal to wo-
men workers, presided over by wo-
men well known in public and social
life.
In the six western states, where
women will vote--Wyoming, Utah.
California, Idaho and
gton---their ballot will be an
factor in the result. In
five other states, Arizona, Michigan.
Kansas. Oregon and Wisconsin, the
right of women to vote will> be an
issue at the polls.
Fair weather is predicted for a
majority of the states. The uncer-
Lainty caused by the third party
ticket, the more than ordinary ur-
gent appeals of party managers to
all voters to "go to the polls" and
ocal interests caused by fights for
state offices and control of state ma
indicated a record vote in
almost all sections of the country
