expressed by campaign managers of
both the Democratic and Republican
parties here in statements to the Unit
ed Press tonight.
By Alvin T. Hert, manager western
Republican headquarters:
AT the outset of the campaign many
states under our jurisdiction were con-
sidered doubtful but as the campaign
progressed, doubt cleared away from
the uncertain states. Within the
last two weeks reports show the
prospect of victory for Hughes
and Fairbanks is OF the brightest all
over western territory. Reports from
the east always have been of the most
cheering kind.
1T is our belief that Hughes will
have many more than 800 votes in the
electoral college. 1t is with the utmost
confidence that the result on Tuesday
is awaited at headquarters here"
By Senator Thomas J. Walsh, man.
ager Democratic western headquart-
ers:
Wilson will be elected by a greater
a presidential candidate. An enorm-
Gus number of Republicans will vote
for Wilson and only a negligible num-
ber of Democrats will vote for Hughes
The Independent vote, so far as 1t has
been vocal at all, is for Wilson. The
woman vote is for Wilson. The labor

foreign birth, surprisingly large
number are for Wilson, as high as 80
per cent. in the case of the Bohem-
ians. Poles and other Slavs. Scandin-
avians are particularly friendly to the
president. The German detection has
faded away

London, Nov. 4.-Forty- three bodies
Of victims of last nights collision be-

Retriever were washed ashore on the
Irish coast today. 1t Is now believed
that from 80 to 100 persons perished
when the two vessels crashed together
in a violent hurricane off Carlingford
Tough.
Among the bodies picked up this
afternoon between Killseel and Anfield
point were those of Captain G. H. Doeg
of the Connemara and his son. The
partly clothed corpses Of two women
from the Connemara also drifted
ashore. Many OF the bodies were

Others bore absolutely no marks of
the disaster.
The Connemara carried 81 passen-
gers and crew of 80 and had her
lower decks filled with cattle. The
Retriever carried a crew of 13 and no
passengers. so far as is known. 1t is
believed that no American was on
either ship.
BODIES OF MANY.
Ten bodies were washed ashore at
Cranfield Point, so miles north of
Dublin. The bodies Of many cattle
were found along the coast mingled
with human corpses and wreckage of
the two steamers. Incoming ships re-
ported the Connemara floating bottom

the crest of q wave. The Retriever
tried vainly to change her course but
bore down on the Connemara with a
blow that lifted her completely out of
the water and threw her over on her
side. The Connemara apparently cap
sized before a boat could be launched.
The Retriever sank in few minutes.
The first reports reaching London
indicated an even greater loss of life.
1t was reported at first that 300 per-
sons had gone down with the two

ment: 1T is being charged that l
have said l would dispense with the
services of Mr.. Scholtz, director of the
state farm markets bureau, If am
elected governor. l challenge any man
to say that have ever made any such
statement, or that l have ever men
toned Mr.. Scholtz in any of the
speeches during my campaign"
