VOTERS ARE READY
The American Voter VIII Say To-

NEW YORK, Nov. 6.---The Amerl-
can voters will say tomorrow who
will be the next president OF the Unit
ed States. dictate who shall compose
tire senate and choose the members
OF the house of representatives.
Viewing the situation today, twen-
,y-four hours i'm advance OF the bat
.le of ballots, and with claims from
both democrats and republicans
oock-sure of victory 1t appears that
the people of New York, Illinois.
Ohio and Indiana will come the
nearest to holding the balance OF
power. Both sides claim these
states.
Their total vote in the electoral
college is 113--nearly AZ per cent
Of the 266 necessary to a choice.
The strictest neutrals--or ever
The strongest republicans, for that
matter-concede that the democrats
will carry the "solid south"--a
block Of 1876 votes. This comprises
the electoral vote of Virginia, North
and South Carolina, Georgia, Florida.
Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana.
Texas, Arkansas, Tennessee and Ok
lahoma. 1t doesn't include Kentucky
and Missouri. Heretofore they have
been classified as component parts
OF the solid south, and this year they
ere claimed by the democrats to still
be in that section. but they are adj
judged by the republicans as being
debatable ground.
In the presidential race Judge
Hughes starts off with his opponent
given a handicap of 1876 votes, but
be also has been granted by the
democrats a handicap for scratch Of
20 votes in the electoral college.
These votes are in Maine, New
Hampshire. Vermont, Rhode Island,
Pennsylvania and Iowa. That leaves

I'M the electoral but If his cataclysm
holds tomorrow the strictest neu-
trails admit that the 113 votes OF the
"tig four states will be the real
turning point of the election. The
democrats claim all four; so do the
republicans.
In Illinois lies the real enigma in
close on to 100000 new women's
votes. Because they are new in the
exercise of their franchise political
rronosticators are exceedingly shy
in making any claims on the Sucker
state.
In New York state. with forty-five
big votes in the electoral college,
the problem the republicans face
is to keep the New York City nor
NAL democratic majority down and
at the same time boost UP the normal
republican upstate majority to the
highest point.
publicly the last minute claims
were:
Republican--Judge Hughes Will
win in New York by 100000 to 1907
900.
Decentralization will win the
state by at least 100000.
Indiana and Ohio have been siren
nous battle grounds of the cam
paign. The air has been filled with
the oratory, red fire, debate, charges
and counter charges. The republicans
want to make a clean sweep In In
diana because two senators are up
for election in that state.
National Democratic Chairman Nc
Cormick is authority for the declara-
ton that the republicans have con-
ceded the loss of Ohio.
