5 ST. LOUIS. Mo-. Oct. 19.-The POST
Dispatch tomorrow will present impartial
reviews of the political conditions in five
pivotal states-Indiana, Illinois, Wiscon-
sin, Kansas and Ohio. These reports in
dictate that Wilson will get all these
states, in all probability. Ohio, Wiscon-
sin and Indiana undoubtedly will go for
him, by large pluralities. Illinois and
Kansas are conceded to the New Jersey
governor though by small pluralities. But
Colonel Roosevelt Is so strong in both
OF them that he is given an outside fight
ing chance. 81
The reports agree that, while the at
tempt at Milwaukee last Tuesday night
to assassinate Colonel Roosevelt, may
turn few votes to him, he would not
have received otherwise, they will not
be sufficient to change the count mate
rally.
President Taft will run second in Ohio
and Wisconsin. Colonel Roosevelt will
run second in Illinois, Kansas-provided
he does not carry them-and Indiana
The reports from these states indicate
that the Wall street brokers who are
betting three and four to one that VIII
son will win are acting upon well-found-
ed information.

Democrats in illinois
Confident of Victory

Especial Dispatch to The .Tournal)
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. Oct $50
difficult is it to estimate the strength
of the so-called silent vote" and to
determine just how this vote will be
divided, forecast on the presidential
race so far as Illinois is concerned can
be little better than guesswork.
Wilson and Roosevelt supporters are
both claiming they will carry Illinois
by a small margin, but it lacks tho
true ring of sincerity.
The ~Progressives lay great stress in
making their claims upon the vote in
the Republican primary last April 9,
when Roosevelt carried this state over
President Taft by an overwhelming
majority.
While Roosevelt is very strong in
this state, and may carry Illinois, his
present controversy with Governor De-
neen will weaken him because it will
ALLEVIATE from him the support of many
Republicans who are for the present
state administra ton. but who are in
clined toward Roosevelt in the national
fight. So bitter has become the. at
tacks made by Roosevelt and Deneen
upon one another it is causing new
alignment wilson's strength is in
creasinS, while Roosevelts is daily
becoming more uncertain.

BALL DON EXPL0DES;
STRUCK BY LIGHTNING
THREE MILES IN AIR
Lieutenant Goricke, Winner of

Balloon Race, Is Hurled to
Death
Csy Associated PrsA.)

BERLIN. oct 21.-The announcement
OF the death yesterday of Lieut.. Hans
Gericke, winner Of last years interna-
tionaI balloon race in the United states.
created a sensation here today. He was
thrown from his balloon at a height Of
three miles by the explosion Of the
gas bag. which is believed 20 have been
struck by lightning. His aide. Lieuten-
ant Steler. also was killed.
Gericke and steler were making a
trial flight to test the new balloon which
they expected to use in the 1912 inter
national races.
Just above the town OF Gressenhaim
tLey met a thunderstorm which they
attempted to avoid by rising. When a
mile in the air their craft was caught
in an eddy and became unmanageable.
After a terrific plunge straight upward
the bag burst Both men dropped three
miles to the ground. They were dead
when picked up.
THROWN STRAIGHT UP.
The shattered instruments which the
balIonists carried on their fight were
examined today. The recording appay
rstus showed they were riding at a
height of 5000 feet when they were sud-
denly hit by vertical gust of wind
which pushed them straight up with
the violence of a hurricane TO height
of over $4,000 feet. At this altitude the
bag burst, either from the sudden
change in pressure or, as is more likely,
from being struck by lightning bolt.
The balloon embodied all the latest
ideas in gas bag construction and was
regarded throughout Germany as the
likely winner of the international CUP
in next Saturdays contest. Gericke and

repudiated recent testimony of James D.

notes of what purported to be such a

nor did he see her talk with Becker. as
Mrs. Rosenthal has testified.
Mr. Mcintyre read from the testimony
OF James ID. Hallen. the convict lawyer,

did Becker reply. oh, hell. what of it?
That's only one more crook to testify

Wilson'S Plurality in
Ohio MAY Be 100000

Especial Dispatch to The Journal)
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Oct. 19.-Ohio will
cast about 100000 votes in November,
and since Wilson will poll at least the
Bryan vote of 1908, or 500 721, and Taft
and Roosevelt will split the Taft vote
of 572,312 into halves. 1t is a good bet
that the Democratic candidate Will carry
the state by from 100000 to 10000 plu-
rality.
To an outsider this may SEEM stretch
ing it a bit, but figures are the only
criterion, and this is the way they
speak For the first time in years, the
Ohio Democracy is united. The gold
wing finds Wilson acceptable, and, %
