and that every candidate will be saved.
Dolley also claims that the Republ1-
cans will control both houses in the
next state legislature and-strange 10
say-Henderson Martin makes precise
" the same claims for the Democrats
Owing to the fact that some of the
congressional candidates are working in
country precincts and cannot be loca-
ted even by their own managers, it has
been impossible to receive a prediction
from all Of the 16 Republicans and
Democrats who are seeking election to
the national house. Here are some Of
them:
Majority of 1900. Says Anthony.
Based upon the poll recently made
by z. E Brewster, of the Republican
congressional committee, says Con-
gresham D. r. Anthony, of the First
district. together with other inforrnn-
ton which has been furnished me by
friends in the various counties, 1 have
been assured that have a good chance
to carry every county in the district
From the best information available
from the eight counties of the First
district. the following are the estima-
ted majorities which I am informeu
I can look for: Shawnee, 1000; Jack
son, $50; Jefferson, 300; Nemaha, $50;
Brown, 700; Doniphan, 900; Atchison,
500; Leavenworth, 300O.''
But Chapman Is Hopeful.
Estimates made by competent
men give me so to 80 per cent of the
Progressive Republican vote,' writes
j. B. Chapman. Democratic nominee
and opponent of Anthony in the First
Il will certainly receive the Wilson
vote except those cast by standpat Re-
publicans. 1t looks good to me. AS
to majorities in the counties in the dis
trict, may say that it looks favorable
for majorities for me ranging from
200 to 1000 in each of six of the eight
counties. don't look for a large ma
jority against me in Shawnee county.
Leavenworth county will be close. The
Democrats there are very active and
determined to win"
Up in the Second district, the fight
ing has been far more bitter than in
the First. Wyandotte county Is still a
mystery to the politicians of all par
ties and factions and everyone claims
1t. If the vote in the Second is close,
WyandOtte may decide the contest. 1t
is the home of CONGRESSMAN Joseph
Taggart and he claims that his ma
1ority there will offset any majority
his opponent Senator ]. L. Brady may
get in Douglas, his home county.
AS Taggart Sees 1t.
From a careful canvass of the dis
trict I am of the opinion that no less
than twenty per cent of the Repub-
hcan party will vote against any can
didate on the state or congressional
ticket who is openly supporting Theo-
dore Roosevelt for president or refuses
10 vote TOT nllI1 IN any event, the
district will give a safe majority to
every man on the Democratic state
ticket. I feel quite certain of success ,
To WyandOtte With 2,5O0-Brady.
Senator Brady believes the Second
district is thoroughly Progressive and
that he will carry the district next
Tuesday against Congressman Taggart
by a substantial majority. This is
Brady's version of the situation Just
before the big fight
mo one can make figures this year. |
I believe there will be full vote polled |
the biggest ever. believe the Pro-
sressive Republicans will win all along
the line. 1 believe the tendency of
politics is that way. I believe 1 will
go to Wyandotte with $500 majority |
1 hope to carry that, but it is uncer- |
where your opponent lives. I feel GER
tain 1 shall win
