add cyanide of potassium. The gas

with the obvious purpose of con-

BOTH SIDES ARE
SURE OF VICTORY
Vote on Suffrage will Play
Prominent Part in EIec-
tons Tuesday.

BOSTON. Nov. 1. - Anti-sufrage
forces declared Sunday night that the
woman suffrage amendment will be
defeated in Tuesdays election by 75.-
600 votes. Reports from every sec
ton OF the state. they said. showed
that suffrage would not carry a single
county.
The suffrage workers did not offer
figures but through Mrs Gertrude
Halliday Leonard. chairman OF the
executive board OF the state organiza-
ton. anno4nced that they were conf
dent Of victory. because OF the
thorough campaign they had made
and the fact that the great majority
OF men and women prominent in the
lie Of the state" were with them.
Betting Even On State Ticket.
No predictions are being made re-
garding the state ticket. The betting
is even.
When the republica. state conven-
ton adopted a platform intended
TO cGHciliate the progressives and
Charles Sumner Bird, Joseph Walker
and othec Roosevelt leaders returned
TO the party the chances of Samuel w.
Mccall. the candidate for governor,
frightened appreciably, and his cleo
zion was regarded as assured. Since
that time, however. the prospect has
become clouded and no one dares ven
ture a prophecy.
The candidacy Of William Shaw.
general secretary Of the United Society
Of Christian EndeavOr running as a
prOhibitionist, has become aggressive.
1t is recognized that his vote will be
drawn from Mccall. OF more i'm
portance is the campaign Of Nelson
Ii. Clark, candidate of the irrecon-
ciliable prOgressives, whose platform
Is in opposition to appropriations for
sectarian schools, an issue upon which
those who fear the ascendancy Of the
Roman Catholic church are united. In
some quarters it is claimed that Clark
will poll as high as 10000 votes.
Republican Campaign Harmonious.
The republican campaign has shown
more harmony and greater hustle"
than last year and Mccall has aroused
far greater enthusiasm, The interest
in the suffrage questionfis sure TO draw
out a great proportion of Massa-
chusetts' famous stay-at-home vote,
and in years gone by this has always
meant a republican sweep. But the
minor candidates mentioned above
have complicated the situation.
