chusetts, where some of the polling
places close early in the afternoon.
1t will be possible to forecast the re-
suit in the state before six o'clock
n If Wilson, Roosevelt or Taft
show big gains in the first fragmen-
tary figures sent out it will be like
ly, judging by past experiences, that
all of New England will vote about
along this line. Rhode Island, a
great manufacturing state and a
high tariff community, has been gen.
orally conceded by all of the cam
pa1gn managers as morally certain
for Taft, but during the last fort
night the Bull Moose orators have
tried to stir up sentiment for Roose-
welt and have claimed to be success
full.
"As New York goes so goes the
nation has been a slogan in every
campaign. Only three times in the
history of the country has a presi-
Dental candidate been elected who
failed to get the electoral vote of
the Empire state. The fight in New
York has been very bitter and party
lines have been smashed in every
section. Old time Republicans have
aided the Bull Moose campaign up
state, while below the Harlem river,
In the balliwick Of Tammany Hall.
old line Democratic warehouses; have
been shouting for Roosevelt and
johnson. Tammany will poll almost
its normal vote in Manhattan and
the Bronx, but there is grave doubt
of what the outcome will be in
Kings County, where Timothy l..
Woodruff, admittedly one of the
cleverest Of campaign managers, has
devoted his entire time for the last
three months to organizing the
Moose forces. Most of his strength,
the Democrats say, has come from
the regular Republican organization.
II this is true then the Democrats
ought to carry Kings County rather
easily, but Woodruff said only today
that his personal polls indicate that
the Bull Moose will poll more votes
In Kings than both of the old parties
combined. Queens and Richmond,
which make up the remainder of the
greater city, will probably vote along
normal lines and the outcome should
be at least a normal greater city
plurality for the Democratic candi-
dates. What will happen upstate Is
hard to say. In addition to Roose-
velt's personal popularity, he has
been aided in the state by the

strength of Oscar S. Straus, the Pro-
gressive gubernatorial candidate.
who is very popular in the cities of
the state, having been a Cleveland
Democrat until he left the party on
the gold and silver issue. The first
returns in New York will come about
six O'Clock at night from Buffalo,
where there are voting machines and
will show the swing. If Wilson car
ries Buffalo he will probably sweep
the state, according to the party vet
Grams who have kept in touch with
the situation. The fight on the state
ticket is fully as interesting as on
the national. When Tammany got
control of the legislature following
the election of Governor Dix, they
amended the state election law so
that a separate ballot is provided for
the presidential electors and the
state ticket. This was to ''save'' the
ticket in a presidential year when
the "cornfields' voted their full
strength Republican. With the split
in the Republican party the Demo-
Gratis have greatly regretted the new
law and 1t may complicate the result
so far as the state ticket is concern
ed as it makes splitting easy.
Roosevelt, Wilson and Taft man
ayers have been claiming Pennsylva-
MIA because of the mixed up condi-
lions prevailing there. 1t seems GER
tain no matter what the outcome on
the national ticket may be, that the
Republican state ticket will be elect
ed. While the fight on national Is
C1Jn0 ic fbrnn nnnyN,.1I -. H.
ticket it is only a tWO-handed conflict
and the Democratic state managers
privately have admitted that only a
landslide will pull their ticket
through. Delaware and Maryland
are debatable ground as in former
years, although the Democratic Or
CARNATIONS are more united than
ever before and McCombs insists
that his reports show a sweeping
Democratic victory certain. So far
as New Jersey is concerned, although
the Bull Moose sentiment has been
very strong here, the general expec-
tation of the campaign managers has
been that local pride will result in
Governor Wilson polling a plurality
of the vote and getting the states
representation In the electoral col
lege.
1t is not believed there will be any
break in the solid south. The Bull
Moose leaders have been claiming
that they would make great inroads
on the Democratic control in Georgia,
North Carolina and Tennessee, but
privately the managers have admit
ted that they did not get started
early enough this year to sweep the
control away from the Democrats.
West Virginia is in the doubtful
column and the silent vote here will
decide. The sentiment for Roose-

youth had caused him to give up
hope of completing his education.
He was, however, very popular with
the students despite the difference
in age. Mrs. Cleveland was born
Frances Folsom. She was the daugh-
ter of Oscar Folsom, n c. Mr.. Cleve-
lands law partner, and was married
to President Cleveland in the White
House June 2, 1886, when twenty
two years old. Almost as much in
terest as the American people took
in the marriage they manifested
when Ruth, the first child, was born
at SIG Madison avenue, New York.
On the child reflected the wide
spread admiration of the mother.
The child died of malignant diphthe-
ria in Mr.. Cleveland's home in
Princeton, Jan. 7, 1894. Four other
children were horn, all of whom are
living. They IRE Esther, born in the
White House, Sept. 8, 1898; Marion,
who was born at Gray Gables, Buzz
yards Bay, Mass, July Z, 1896;

the couple at Princeton, Oct. 2S,
1897, and Frances Folsom, born at

Princeton, Nov. president Hib-
! ben of Princeton university, friend
of Mrs. Grover Cleveland, and Pro-
fessor Jex Preston, Jr., of Wells COL
lege, has announced the engagement
of the widow Of the former president
to the university professor. The date
of Mrs. Cleveland's wedding, Presi-
dent Hibben said, would be announc-
ed later. Professor Preston first met
Mrs. Cleveland at Princeton, where
he was taking a special course in
1906. He went out into the society
Of the university town a great deal.
Later a mutual interest attracted
them to each other, for Professor
Preston took the chair of archaeol-
ogy at Wells college, Mrs. Cleve-
lands alma mater in which she has
always been greatly interested. Elk
President Grover Cleveland died on
June "a, 1908, at his home in Prince
ton, after a long illness.
Mrs. Cleveland Is forty-eight, two
years younger than Professor Pres
ton, who Is fifty. She vas born July
21, 1864. Professor Preston did not
enter Princeton until he was forty
years old, because sickness in his
Perth Amboy evening news., 1912-11-04

the Taft men will vote for Wilson
because they fear that unless they
do SO the Roosevelt men will carry
the state and thus disrupt the regu-
lar Republican organization. So far
as Nebraska is concerned, there is
much interest in whether Bryan can
let his mantle fall on the shoulders
of Governor Wilson. At Baltimore
the Nebraskan promised the vote of
his state to Wilson and to make his
promise good he has criss crossed
the state and made a personal APP
peal to the farmers to vote for Will
son. The Rocky mountain states
are admittedly debatable ground
and the problem is just how strong
the Roosevelt sentiment is-some-
thing that it will require the count
of the votes to determine.
Interest on the Pacific coast will
center on California. The Taft Re-
publicans here are disfranchised be-
cause of the action of the election
officials in refusing to place their
candidates for elector on the ballot.
Consequently many of the Taft men
have openly announced that they
will vote for Wilson. Governor John
son has not devoted much time to
his home state, believing that his
personal popularity will be sufficient
to carry the state for the Progress
sive ticket. He had planned to come
back to California some weeks ago,
but the shooting of Roosevelt kept
him on the stump in the East and he
has left the management of the cam
paign to the regular party managers.
The Progressives claim that they
will carry the state by between
$4,000 and 100000, and insist that
most of the will vote for
Roosevelt and Johnson. Despite
this claim the Democratic managers
say that their confidential reports
show that the action of the authori-
ties in refusing to permit the Taft
electors a place on the ballot has in
jured the Roosevelt chances and
they say they will carry the state by
more than 10000. There is very
little line on how the women will
vote and they are very likely to be
the deciding factor.
A general impartial review of the
election nation wide therefore shows
that existing dope will prove useless
in forecasting tomorrow's result.
There is no way of forecasting the
silent vote and it will be the deter
mining factor. Surface indications
are for a landslide and each party
manager will be able to comfort
himself by the hope that 1t will be
to his candidate right up to the close
of the polls tomorrow night.
