NEW YORK. November 2-Activities
that have reached into all corners Of the
nation came to head here today at the
national headquarters of the three lead
ing political parties. So far as the chair
men of the democratic, republican and
progressive parties are concerned, the
campaign ended tonight. There remain
TO be carried out tomorrow, Monday and
Tuesday. the detailed plans for getting
out the vote" policing contested election
districts and preventing frauds, but these
matters are, in the majority of cases.
reposing now in the hands of local CHAIR
men and state and district managers.
The promise of victory perched on every
headquarters banner tonight. Inspired
by kilograms from local cnairmen
throughout the states, the democratic,
republican and progressive chairmen, re-
spectiyely. asserted either that victory
was in their grasp. or that conditions
were such that a tide of votes to their
respective candidates might be expected in
the election Tuesday
Claim Complete Victory.
At democratic national headquarters
the claim of complete victory in the gen.
eral elections was made without qualifi-
cation. National Chairman William F.
McCombs declared that Gov Wilson
not only would carry great majority Of
the states, but that his success in strong
republican states would be surprising
Here, briefly stated. are the views Of the
respective political leaders upon the out
come of Tuesdays bate of ballots:
William F. McCombs, democratic ma
tional chairman:
'On the eve of an election which closes
what has been. in many ways, the most
remarkable camp aign in a score OF years.
l am confident of a sweeping victory for
the democratic ticket. / do not concede
a single state in the Union to the other
parties. We will carry the strongest re-
publican states. We will win. and win
by the most impressive figures in the his
tory Of our party"
Prediction by Mr.. Hilles.
Charles D. Hilles, republican national
chairman:
The most remarkable campaign within
the memory of the present generation
has drawn to close. and we now await
the verdict of the American people. am
confident that that verdict will cary with
it a vote of confidence in the courageous,
unostentatious and patriotic leadership of
William Howard Taft, and that it will
continue the present splendid admins
tration OF achievement under which the
American people have made such marked
progress and enjoyed so abundant a pros
perIty.
Nothing short of political revolution,
OF which there are no Indications, could
! lace the election of Mr.. Taft in jeopardy.
In my opinion ne will receive enough
votes in the dependable republican states
10 assure him a handsome majority in
the electoral college. with a sufficient
number n doubtful states to swell the
total u most decisive victory
Landslide, Says Dixon.
Senator Joseph " Dixon, national pro-
gressiye chairman:
The nation will be astounded at the
enormous vote for Roosevelt and John
son Tuesday
All Indications point to a Roosevelt,
landslide. No one longer questions either
Col. Roosevelt Mr.. Wilson will be
elected President. Taft will certainly be
a Dad third in the race, with Debs push
Ing him closely for third place in Con.
necticut Illinois and Indiana
TIE past ten days have seen tre-
mendous drift toward Roosevelt in every
part or the country. Facing political rev.
olution as we do. there can be no certain
yardstick of measurement, as in former
years Based on most comprehensive re.
ports from every state chairman of the
progressive party. 1t now seems certain
mat Roosevelt will carry twenty five
states, having a total of 297 electoral
votes. Wilson will carry twelve states
having l30 electoral votes. Ten states
having total of 104 electoral votes.
