ASSEMBLY FIGHT
IS Great FACTOR
IN THIS STATE
Politicians of All Parties Bend
ing Supreme Efforts to
Control Body.
Associated Press Dispatch.


Chicago, Nov 2.-~Final reports
from all of the 102 counties in ILL.,
nois indicate that the national cleo
ti0n will be affected to large degree
by the fight to control the next
Illinois general assembly which is to
select two United States senators.
This situation has made more COM
plete the struggle between RepubH-
cans, Democrats and Trogressiycs for
victory in the state.
Without precedent for the three
party contest and appreciating the
affect of the federal senatorial situa~
ton, men long experienced in Illinois
politics today said that anything
might happen ut the polls on Tues
day.
Betting odds favor Gov. Woodrow
Wilson on the national ticket and
Governor Charles S, Deneen, Repub-
lican on the state ticket This,
however is offset to considerable ex-
tent by reports favoring Col. Robse-
welt and the Progressive ticket Also
an eleventh hour tide for President
Taft gave courage to the Republican
managers.
The senatorial situation was en-
phasized In forecasts issued by the
various party managers today
Roy 0. West. Republican state
chairman, said:
"The Republicans will control the
forty-cight general assembly and
elect two United States senator's"
Chauncey Dewey, progressive state
chairman, declared that Col. Roose-
relt would have plurality in Illi-
nois of 10000 He also predicted
the success of the Progressive state
ticket.
Joseph z. Davies, director of the
Democratic campaign in the west, de-
clared that tbs Illinois Democrats
would give Wilson the 10000 votes
cast 70. Bryan four years ago and in
addition 10000 to $4,000 Republi-
can and Dem )cratic votes not cast
for Bryan.
"Of the 629,000 votes cast for
president Taft in 1905" said Mr.,
Dawes, "Col Roosevelt will get an
orcximately 100000. President
Taft VIII not get moro than 240, 900
,otes."

Special to The Bulletin.
Now York, Nov Rudolph
Spreckles, head of the Wilson Ma
tional Progressive Republican lea
gue, today issued the following an
peal to Progressive Republicans to
vote for Governor Wilson for prcsi-
dent on Tuesday. November 5th.
This will come out opportunity to
beat crushing blow TO the improp-
erly protected interests that have
so long held the American people in
bondage. Progressive Republicans
will decide this presidential contest.
IT Is imperative therefore that their
judgmcne of the candidates be
guided by reason and that their bal
lot be cast for the man who has
proved his fitness to fiji the office of
president. Our reason for voting for
Wilson and against taft and Roose-
welt are clear.
Taft has convinced us of his
weakness, his inability to satisfactor-
lily meet the great issues of the day
and by his continued association
with the very reactionary interests
that have laid 1 crushing burden up
on the nation, He hasprocIaimed
his utter lack Of sympathy for the
cause Of the people.
"Roosevelt's willingness to COM
promise and to resort to every trick
and device as an agent for voters and
his open political partnership with
trust builders like George w. Ped
kns and political bosses like Flynn
are undeniable evidences of his un-
fitness to lead cause which has its
basis IN honesty and truth, He has
lent himself willing tool to the in
terests which sceek to disrupt the Re-
publican Progressive movement. His
third term movement Is In defiance
OF the public interest and well
grounded precedent. 1t is the We
hiele through which he seeks to sat-
isfy q personal ambition. 1T was
born in hatred and It's promoters and
financial hackers are self seekers and
trust servants, who have adopted the
progressive label as an expedient to
win the votes cf the progressive cit
