MR.. TAFT HAS NO DOUBTS

the voters. sent yesterday to THE Sun:
II have no doubt az to the issue of thif
campaign. The people will not be slow tc
| vindicate an Administration under which
there has been greater prosperity for
both the wage Garner and the wage payer
than ever before in the history of the
United States. They will hesitate to
turn over the Government for four years
to party which precipitated n commercial
explosion by it's experiments when last
1t was in power. or to innovators who
have committed themselves to expert
ments still more radical and doubtful"
National Chairman Hilles of the Re-
publioans stood pat yesterday on his pre-
diction Of the Presidents reelection and
Chairman McCombs of the Democrats
saw no reason to withdraw his statement
that Wilson will carry at least forty Of the
forty EIGHT States.
Mr.. McCombs said It was his honest
judgment that Gov Wilson would have
'the greatest aiority given to any
President Of any party since James Mon
roe swert the electors into the era of
universal good feeling in the year 1920
of our Lord" Mr.. McCombs said also:
The campaign has been clean. Not a
bitter word, not an abusive sentence
has come from our candidate. Not a
tainted dollar has been received. Not
a doubtful dollar has been expended
"No issue has been evaded. No question
remains unanswered. The Democratic
nominee has met the people face to face
with open mind and frank expression.
The people and the nominee have learned
to know each other and to trust each
other.
And in this wonderful campaign Wood
row Wilson has borne himself with such
gentlcness. with such courtesy, with such
serenity of mind and temper and withal
with such perfect fairness and convincing
earnestness in high discussion that hehas
won the peoples minds and hearts for
himself and for his great cause. which is
their great cause as we'll.
For the Progressives. Senator Dixon
snatched this from the clouds:
Il again repeat that the avalanche
vote tomorrow for Roosevelt and John
son will stagger the old time politicians.
During the day we have received literally
hundreds Of kilograms from every part of
the country. all Of them predicting land
slide votes in their localities for Roosevelt
tomorrow"
But you haven't said anything about
our old friend Tidal Wave" objected a
reporter.
Put him in too, II you want to- said
the cheerful Roosevelt chairman. Then
he wen on: ,-.,..
The expressed determination Of the
Taft organization to name no candidate
for V ice president until after the election
will cost the Taft ticket thousands of
votes in every State tomorrow. The
people of the nation are not going TO sub
scribe TO blind pool in the matter of
Presidential succession. II was fatal
error on Barnes's part to refuse to have
the Nice-Presidential candidate desig-
mated before the day OF election. Thou
sands who had until recently intended
to vote the Republican ticket under the
circumstances will refuse by their votes
in effect TO give Barnes and the other
Republican national committeeman a
proxy to name such Vice President as
they personally see fit after the election is
over. II has been the worst strategy
possible and is the final blow to the stag
gering hopes of the Taft organization
Republican State Chairman Barnes
before going home to Albany found time
TO say:
The issue is clear cut The man who
believes in American institutions, Amer
lean character and American individuality
will vote for Taft. The Democrat who
has been deceived into believing that the
tariff is responsible for everything he
doesn't like will vote for Wilson. The
man of socialistic tendency. who believes
In degrading the individual and estab-
fishing paternalisin in the Government
will vote for Roosevelt. The line of
demarcation between the parties is now
complete. Nothing could be more
advantageous toward right think ing than
this accomplishment"
Then there was State Chairman Hotch-
Kiss of the Progressives. who made this
qualified prophecy:
The result will depend almost en-
tirely on the way the silent vote turns
There is every indication that the Pro-
gressives Will get 10 per cent. of it. II
so there is no question that Mr.. Straus
and theSProgressive Presidential electors
will be successful in this State As a
basis OF faith in that result call attention
TO the very patent fact that in all polls,
newspaper or otherwise, little has been
done to indicate the views OF the two
classes which form the largest part of
our population, farmers and sho pworkers.
From our advices these are strongly
Progressive.
And finally this cryptogram from
George W. Perkins:
Il hope the man who gets the most
votes is going to be elected, but that
depends somewhat. l suppose, on what
Tammany Hall does
