Democratic Hopes.
The forecasts from the respective
national headquarters give in some
detail the factors which the leaders
of the respective parties believe will
effect Tuesdays voting.
Wilson and Marshall will have the
largest majority of electoral votes given
ton any candidate since the Civil war,
said Chairman MeCombs in the Demo
cratic forecast "They will receive also
the largest popular vote ever given to a
political party in the history of the
United States. They will carry not less
than 40 of the As states and are likely
to carry all of them. A unanimous vote
in the electoral college will not surprise
any man who has seen the confident re-
ports TO Democratic headquarters in the
last days of the campaign.
Congress will be Democratic in both
branches The lower House will contain
more than 100 of the combined opposition
and in the Senate the Democrats will
gain more than the 10 seats necessary to
wipe out the Republican majority. The
same sentiment that is sweeping Wilson
into executive authority will back him
up with legislative power to do the things
the people demand
Dixon Expects Landslide.
Senator Dixon, Progressive national
chairman, in an official statement declar-
ed Col Roosevelt would carry the cleo
ton.
Approximately 100000 votes will Re
cast for Roosevelt and Johnson out of
total vote of 15Oo0,000," he said 1.-THE
fatal error in all the Democratic esti-
mates is the assumption that Wilson will
poll the Bryan vote of four years ago.
The Progressive party program has APP
pealed nightly to the great Industrial
classes of the nation.
"Roosevelt and Johnson will sweep the
big industrial centers with landslide.
Wilson and Marshall have not appealed
to the masses of the voters because they
have not offered any plan of consuue-
tive craftsmanship or legislation.
Taft will be the worst beaten eandi-
date since Winfield Scott led the rem
nant of the old Wing party to destfue-
ton in 1852. After Tuesday the old Re.
publican organization will be the third
party in every state in the Union. /
doubt If 1t will ever again nominate "A
candidate for President. After Tuesday
the Progressive party will be the domi-
nant opposing party to the Democrats.
Roosevelt will carry New York state by
plurality of 5000 Al the same time
he will have at least 297 votes in the cleo
toral college II takes only 266 to elect a
President"
Tammany Hall joined in the prediction
of a general Democratic victory in a
statement given out by Charles f. Muir
ply. Never were Democratic prospects
brighter and Democratic expectations
more confident" said Mr. Murphy "An
our reports and canvasses indicate
great Democratic sweep in nation and
state on Tuesday. The Empire State will
give the Presidential and state tickets
splendid majorities. Its Democratic rep
resentation in Congress will be substan-
tally increased and both branches of
the Legislature will be Democratic
