as 3s4. But am now satisfied that the
landslide Is to be so tremendous that We
shall carry Utah, one of the two States
held by President Taft four years ago.
New York. New Jersey. Connecticut, Ilh-
nois. Indiana. Ohio and Wisconsin are
perfectly safe for Wilson. The West Is
practically solid for him. l haven't the
slightest doubt about an overwhelming
triumph for the President tomorrow"

These are samples of messages have
heen getting all day" said Chairman Nc
Cormick. mo wonder 1 am optimistic"
VIII you renew your claim to Penn
syIvania? -
Il never claimed Pennsylvania" re-
piled Mr.. Mccormick with a laugh "I
do say. however. that the Philadelphia
Republican machine may wake up and
find that the rural and mining districts
have outvoted the city"
Chairman Wilcox said:
The battle has been Won. Hughes and
Fairbanks will be elected by a majority
of not less than 100 in the electoral col
lege. The desperate condition of our op-
ponents is shown by their striving to
incense one part of the people against
another part. Their effort to deliver the
labor vote by giving a mess Of pottage
to few men has failed in its design.
The voters can be relied upon to render
proper judgment upon the methods to
which I have referred. This will be
demonstrated by the overwhelming char
acter of the defeat that will be the fate
of the administration at the polls to-
MORROW"
