Hot Fight In Roosevelt
For MayOralty HOn0rs
Democrats

Special to the EVENING NEWS.
Roosevelt, Nov. 6-The last Demo-
cratic rally before the elections was
held in Van Ness's Hall Friday night
before crowd of over five hundred.
At this meeting Mayor Hermann de-
Tended himself against all that has
been said against him by his oppo-
nents, and also attacked his oppo-
nents administration as assessor of
the borough.
Mayor Hermann began by saying
that his opponent had said that he
issued a challenge to him to debate
the tax question, but that he had
never received it. He has already
started to tell the people of the bor-
ough what he stands for, but he has
already failed as an assessor, so what
can we look for If he be elected
mayor, Mr.. Hermann declared. He
added: HE only is responsible for
the increased taxes. The budget was
made by an even council and was not
Influenced by anyone. The increase
. in its size is the result of natural
growth. On the other hand, the new
values of this town should cover the
increased budget. Failure on the part
of the assessor to figure tax points, or
in short an understanding of what he
was about has resulted in the in
crease. Under our administration
the borough has become what it Is.
OF course the people paid for the re-
pairs and improvements, and will al
ways continue to do so, but 1t may be
added that whenever the people of
the borough petitioned for improve
ments and there were sufficient sig
natures to make 1t effective, those de-
mands were always granted / simply
ask for your support on the past rec
ord of my administration, and have
no apologies to offer you as my oppo-
nent has"
Other speakers of the evening were
Messrs. Gerke, Lawlor, O'Brien, sec
retary to Congressman Scully, and

ELECTION SURE,
HUGHES BELIEF
Serenely Confident at End
Of Long Campaign.
IN FINE PHYSICAL SHAPE

Republican Nominee Resting and In
Excellent Spirits as Result Of Big
Demonstration In New York Will
Vote In Laundry Tomorrow and Re-
ceive Returns With Only Family
Present.
New York, Nov. e.-Charles e.
Hughes today is convinced that tomor-
row he will be elected president Of the
United States. es
On the ground that he had said his
last say at the Madison Square Garden
demonstration Saturday night the Re
publican candidate refused to make
any statements. He talked freely with
his friends, however, and was in better
shape physically, in better spirits and
had more definite view of the result
Of Tuesdays election that at any time
since the opening Of his campaign.
Those of the correspondents who had
made the long coast to coast journey
with him especially remarked this at
mospheres of confidence and victory
which permeated the Hughes private
apartments In the Hotel Astor.
Is Certain of Victory.
Hughes absolutely believes he will be
elected president Tuesday.
When the candidate awoke yester-
day with nothing to do for the first
time since last June exactly twenty
one weeks had elapsed since a similar
awakening the day following his NOM
ination, except that he then had all the
labor of the campaign ahead Of him.
In the intervening period, he said,
the issues have unfolded in precisely
the same manner which he had hoped
for right down to Saturdays demon
stration in his home state, which
Hughes considers the climax Of the en-
tire campaign and the point where the
rest can be left in the hands of the
voters.
Will Vote In Laundry.
Mr. Hughes said he was immensely
pleased with the Saturday night parade
as well as the meeting which followed
He regards them together as a remark
able manifestation of the sentiment
which is sweeping the country. From
his own experience, he said, he knows
what 1t means for men to give express
sion to their political views by march
ing in a drizzle of rain on cold night
through the city streets. He was fat
tered by that and flattered by the thir-
ty-seven minutes of cheering which he
received upon his entrance into the
garden.
His work done he will quietly await
the action of the voters. Today he
took drive and paid some calls, but
engaged In no political activity.
Tuesday he will vote In laundry in
Eighth avenue near Forty street
and In the evening, with his family
and no one else around him, will re-
ceive the returns in his private apart
ments in the Astor, into which two
telegraph wires have been strung.

Roosevelt, Nov. 6:-In answer to a
challenge given out by Mayor Her

mayor again, Republican Candidate
Neville comes back with the state
ment that in all his questions Her
mann has failed to answer the real
issues and has also failed to answer
the facts that he put forth in his
article have never been answered
All this only goes to show that the
mayor knows that they are true and
is simply resorting to the mud-1ing-
ing method to win the sympathy Of
the voters.
THE facts were clearly given, 3"
Neville was heard to say, land the
Democrats have been unable to an
swer them and are simply throwing a
lot of meaningless literature at the
eleventh hour in hopes of doing
something to ease up their already
worked over campaign. During the
past year there has not been enough
new building to cover the increased
budget in spite of the fact that the
people say that there have been
enough new factories built to cover
the increase. The fiscal year ended
May 20. fact that very few of the
people know, and up until that time
none of the factories were in the
course of construction. The new fac
tories and additions to the old fac
tories will come in the next assess
ment, but are not included this year.
If the county and the borough spend
more money during the year, that
doesn't concern the assessor He gets
his instructions and simply has to
follow them in accordance to the
amount of money that Is to go out
during the year.
''The Democratic party this year
has resorted to the most extreme
means to fight their battle. They
have had the county and state candi-
dates come here to talk up the fast
dying enthusiasm for the local candi-
dates. The result will tell who is in
