Reports from every chairman in the
State indicate that Wilson will carry
Missouri by not less than 10000. 1t

Republicans will carry Missouri by
majority OF $4,000. The largest Demo-
cratic vote In this State, east In 1896,
was 1868 900. This has steadily de-
creased To $4,000 for Wilson in 1912
The Republican vote has steadily In
creased from 30+, 900 in 1896 to 347, 900
in 1908, Republicans have never been
as well organized as now. A canvass
Of the entire State shows the Republi-
ans will cast 100000 to Democrats
32O, 900 votes. Labor men of Missouri
realize they have been gold bricked
by the Adamson law and are rapidly
changing to Hughes. Lifelong Demo-
crafts are contributing to the Republican
cauepaisn funds. Victory 10 certain.

Chairman Ohio Democratic state
mittee.

The tide to President Wilson has con-
tinued TO rise in Ohio during the past
week. An additional poll, confirmed by
reports OF special Observers. justifes me
in asserting the positive conviction that
the majority for President Wilson in
the Buckeye State will exceed 100 1000.
Reports to which l refer confirm the
political thought of the average man.
Four men out of five on the street will
predict a Wilson landslide. Opinions
vary only as to the size. Straw votes
bear out the statement. We are assured
in Ohio of the election OF Democratic ma
tional and State tickets. with a ma
tority Of members Of Congress.

based upon reports from 102 counties OF
tho State.
President Wilson will carry the State
by a plurality Of from $4,000 to 1885,
600. Seventy-fve thousand OF this
plurality will be furnished by the women
Of the state. This means that the State
ticket, for which women do not vote.
will get about so. 900 plurality.
Sixty counties In the State will return
pluralities for the Democratic ticket.
F~orty-two will be carried by the Re-
publicans. The sixty counties include
Cook. in which Chicago Is located. This
county alone will give the Democratic
state ticket $4,000 plurality and Presi-
dent Wilson from. $4,000 to 100. 900

Wilson and Seabury will carry New

larger than has been predicted by his
supporters. The reasons the Demo-
cratic candidates will win are: First and
most important. "a united party. No
where Is there any factional opposition
TO State or national candidates.
Second, IN every election district there
are from ten to fifty Republicans who
are going to support President Wilson.
Third. the feeling OF self-respect has
driven thousands Of Republicans to sup
port Judge S%eabury. The disgraceful
administration at Albany has only been
made more conspicuous by the brazen
defence offered by The Governor. who has
driven all the independents to the sep
