The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram., 1912-11-04

the Democratic ticket has been so
enthusiastic, that we have every right
to believe that we will carry the
state.
Colorado will increase its majority
of 5000 at the last election to not
less than $1,000 for Wilson and Mar
shall
Connecticut is hotly contested
state, and while we have to overcome
large majority, we have every con-
fidence that we can do it.
Bryan received $4,000 votes in Del
aware at the last election, while Taft
received $4,000. The split in the Re-
publican ranks gives us this state by
safe majority.
Illinois has been one of the most
bitterly contested states. The Repub-
licans carried this state the last time
by one vote less than 100, 900. That
is a big lead to overcome, but We can
do it and Illinois will be ours by
$4,000 to $4,000 majority.
Indiana is safely for Wilson and
Marshall and we will have the big
gest Democratic majority ever given
candidate.
Our reports from Iowa are most
enthusiastic, and we are not worrying
over the results in that state. Iowa
can be safely put down for Wilson
and Marshall.
Maine had but 5000 Republican ma
jority in the September election with
both factions of the Republican party
| united. Divided, as they now are on
national lines, the state will certainly
cast it's electoral vote for Wilson.
Maryland is safely in the Demo
cratic column and we will elect the
six congressional candidates from that
state
| In Massachusetts we have to over
come large Republican majority but
the split in the Republican ranks in,
sures Democratic success. The Demo
cratic outlook could not be brighter
| There is no debate over Missouri
Michigan, Minnesota and Montana
are all states in which We have made
remarkable gains and we hope to find
them in the Democratic colmun or
election day.
Nebraska will remain in the Dem
ocratic column.
New York and New Jersey are be
yond question safe for Wilson and
| Marshall. We anticipate coming down
to Manhattan with majority of TO-,
! 900 for the Democratic ticket. This
should give us New York state by
250,OOO.
Ohio is just as safe for the Dem
ocratic ticket as any of the southern
states and l firmly believe that we
will have the largest majority in Ohio
ever given a Democratic candidate
Pennsylvania is going to be ths
scene of a remarkable three-cornerec
fight. This state, with it's 100000
majority, has been the scene of one
0 fthe most strenuous contests evel
conducted by the Democrats and al
our reports indicate that we not only
have the united Democratic vote o.
half million, but have gained tens
of thousands of other votes Wilson
will lead Roosevelt, with Taft third
Washington, Wisconsin and Wyom
ing show no Indications of not get
ting in the Democratic column.
Prediction predictions do not make
votes. We have endeavored not tt
deceive ourselves over the outlook, bu
! the indications have been so unitedly
| favorable that the Democratic part!
sees nothing but victory Tuesday. 1
is important however, that the Dem
ocrats get out and vote and must take
nothing for granted.
We shall not be surprised to fine
every electoral vote of every state fol
Wilson and Marshall. The Demo
cratic party is united. The Repub
lican party is divided into fragment:
and cannot hope to succeed this year
