GENERAL ELECTION OF 1912
 IN HANDS OF NATIONS VOTERS

The presidency and vice presidency, the House of Representatives, the United States Senate, and the state and municip- al governments of many of the most porulous commonwealths hang in the bal ance of Tuesdays elections. Tn New York the egroessive-republican- democratic party fight for the state ticket has been so keen as to render the outcome uncer- tain until the votes are counted. In many other states the introduction of pro- sressive party slates has broken up what had been a normal republican majority and has otherwise rendered the control of state offices an open question.
 Within the last week complete polls of county and state leaders have been made from New York by the chairmen of the three national campaign committees. Upon the predictions of success that have come from tho various states. each of the party leaders claims at the conclusion of

WILSON'S RALLY MESSAGE
 READ TO LARGE GATHERING
Candidate Urges Voters Put Not Only the Presidency But the Senate Again in Hands of the People-Chairmau
 Bell Reads Message at Courthouse

we have not had since the Dingley and Aldrich tariffs began to be built up, favor by favor, and trusts began to multiply under the very prohibitions of the law The republican party is irretrievably com- mitted and bound to go in the very op- posite direction from that in which re- lease and freedom lie. It has become a party of special points of view.
 "The country has already perceived this. Everywhere there has been a steadily gathering revolt by the voters. Twenty six of the IS state governments are now under democratic executives. In the leg islatures of the AS states the democrats outnumber the republicans by a majority of 200. Seventy-three of the 120 chief cities of the country have democratic mayors. There are now 227 democrats in the national House of Representatives and only 161 republicans, The tide gath CTS in greater and greater volume. Only the presidency and the Senate lift their heads a little above it, those citadels of power which the constitution makes 1t hardest for the peoples majorities to cap ture and occupy. Until these are taken, the great task will halt and wait, the great task of putting the government at the service of the people.
 Shall We Move Forward?
 Shall we not move forward to the final conquest? An organized united and enthusiastic force stands ready, the only united and militant force to which the people can turn with any prospect that they will be served. promptly, effectively and upon clear principle of action-the great democratic party, now at last solld and of clear purpose. To it all who are full of hope and of the vigor that makes tomorrows are fiocking-the young men Of the nation. the noble and devoted women who wish to see better days for their children and for all who are op- pressed, the men who never grow old, but always press forward to enterprises of the new age, all who desire free oppor- tunity and love the public course that is just and righteous and quick with the hopes of mankind. A great people is turn ing It's face to the light, not desiring revolution, but loving the right and de- termined to set 1t up, wisely. temperately, honorably, with prudence and patient de- bate, not in irritation or in haste but like men, not like children. It is a great day and propitious one. The responsibility is ours, and we shall assume 1t knowing what 1t means. The decision of November will usher in, if we be true, a new day of confidence, freedom and prosperity. It will be no niggardly triumph of a party or a faction, but the triumph of people The democratic party will be, not the self ish victor, but the trusted instrument, and the years that follow will test every principle of the great republic. God grant we shall be worthy to prevail.

Kansas

Topeka, Kan, November 2.-Politicians of all three parties tonight expressed confidence in the outcome of Tuesdays election.
 The democrats claim that the prospects for success of both national and state tickets are brighter than for many years because of the factional fight waged in Kansas between republicans and progress sives. For governor, the race seemed a close one between Arthur Capper, repub- flcan with avowed progressive leanings, and George H. Hodges, democrat.
 The senatorial race between Governor ". R. Stubbs, ican-progressive, and w. H. Thompson, democrat, will not be decided until the legislators, not bound by the popular vote, assemble.

.sssss..s.......s.

New York, November 2.-The general election of 1912 has been turned over to the voters of the United States according to leaders of three principal parties. A cessation of activity in all camps io- night, a recouping of strength for the final attack Monday, and an effort Tues day by each faction to get out it's vote, mark the termination of campaign con- eeded to have had but few parallels in the nations history. In all the states polling places will open Tuesday with the attention of the country focused upon them. There are few states outside ,ne so-called solid south where results are conceded to be one way or another.
 Confident claims by democratic leaders of a sweeping victory are met by em- phatic assertions from the republican and progressive party managers that they expect success, respectively, for their presidential candidates.

the last week of the campaign that his candidate for the presidency has the as- surance of success.
 William F. McCombs. democratic chair man, asserted that Governor Wilson will carry the nation by an astounding ma- jority. Charles D. Hilles, republican chair man, declared that President Taft was assured of a majority of the electoral college. Senator Joseph M. Dixon, pro- gressive chairman, declared that all in- dications pointed to a Rooseevlt land slide.
 The presidential candidates rested to- night with their active participation h the campaign over. Governor Wilson will vote at Princeton and receive the re- turns Tuesday night at his home. Presi- dent Taft will vote in Cincinnati and re- main there at the home of his brother. Charles P. Taft, until the results are definitely known Wednesday. Colonel Roosevelt. at Oyster Bay, L.

 Minnesota gave Roosevelt a plurality of 161. AGA in 1904 and Taft S6,442 in 1908.
 The most active campaigns have been carried on by the progressives and demo- crats, but the state republican organiza- tion has stood by the national ticket.

SUMMARY SHOWS
 UNIQUE SITUATION

Summed up, the situation is that Will son will be elected by an overwhelming electoral vote, and will probably have a majority of the popular vote of the coun- try. Roosevelt will most likely be sec ond. if not in the electoral college in the popular vote. Sulzer will be elected Governor of New York. The House of Representatives will be democratic by greatly increased majority. The Senate will be closely divided, with a slight chance favoring democratic control. If anything happens contrary to this, demo- crats, republicans and progresives will be greatly surprised. It is the opinion of them all. Nothing short of an entire re- versal of public mind in three days can alter it.

EXPERTS CAN FIGURE
 NOTHING BUT WILSON

Expert divers who have taken deep sonndines and made careful surveys ef the political sea bring up nothing but wilson. Here and there on the bat tie field there have been shifts of small bodies; assertions from the ranks or democracy in some places, republicans in others and third termers in still others. but in no instance enough 10 change the complexion of the situation from that of week ago. The campaign is practically over; the battle has been fought: the result is now up to the man who casts the ballot, and no one looks for or imagines there will be any further changes from now until the day of voting.
 Wilson's election assured, the tri- 'umphant democrats are now hgurihg for two things, the first is not only 10 give him an overwhelming majority in the electoral college, but to give hlln a majority of the popular vote as well. Whether or not he gets majority or the popular vote will depend largely on the interest manifested in those states that are surely democratic, ana on the truth or falsity of the reports persistently circulated-that Roosevelt will poll the largest vote in the south ever given to a candidate opposing the democrats since the palmlest days of s1,o ,onuliSte
