Americas Largest Vote Will
Be Polled Tomorrow With
Most Uncertain Results
ACCURATE FORECASTS
ARE MADE DIFFICULT
! If Women's Vote Divides Along
Party Lines, Republicans
Are Confident
(By United Press. }

New York, Nov. 1 (by Ed. L.
Keen) The presidential campaign
came to an end today for the ma
jority of the party candidates and
they all made ready to await the
verdict of the largest number of
voters that has ever registered for
ain American election. Twenty-Five
million ballots will be cast tomorrow
if all gS to the polls. Of these, nine
million will be votes of women who
constitute the unknown quantity of
the equation.
If the women's vote divides along
party lines following that of the men,
the republicans are confident of VIC
tory. However, if the women be
swayed BY the democratic appeal for
votes for the league of nations on the
ground that it will keep America
out of war, the result may surprise
those experts who figure on a repub-
lican land slide.
Accurate forecasts of results were
made most difficult by the fact that
the farmer-labor and socialist parties
seem likely to poll very large votes.
Socialist leaders were predicting the
biggest vote in their history for their
candidate, Eugene V. Debs, who will
await returns in the Atlanta peni-
Tertiary, where he is serving SEN
tence. The election day weather out
look was rather unsettled.

Cork, Ireland, Nov. l.. (By Russell
Browning. )-Terrence MacSwiney's
career was ended today. His remains
lay in an excluded section of the
beautiful Cork cemetery, the grave
covered with masses Of flowers.
The funeral of the former Lord
Mayor despite threats and fears, took
place very quietly yesterday. The
only thing making it different from
an ordinary funeral was the large
crowds which attended. Today these
crowds have melted away, but the
military forces kept a strict watch
against surprise attacks.

Marion, O., Nov. l (by Raymond

state Senator Warren G. Harding
turned today to assist in the election
of the republican senate in the final
hours of his campaign.
Party leaders are centering their
eleventh hour efforts on the weak
spots in the senatorial campaign, de-
termined not only to send Senator
Harding to the White House but to
give him a good working majority in
the senate. They believe the house
will be republican by liberal ma
jority. Democrats, however, are put
ting up a stubborn fight in several
central cities.
Senator Harding planned to put in
most of the final day before election
in his office, next door to his home.
Many visitors are arriving in Marion
to be present election night. Plans
are being made for bondfres and
other affairs, in a general celebration
in event of the senator's election.
The high wooden pillar of the "court
of honor" that have lined Mt. Vernon
avenue during the campaign, are like
". to provide kindling for the big
fire in front of Harding's house.
Senator Harding will receive the
election returns tomorrow night from
special press, wires which have been
run in to the newspaper mems build
ing at the rear Of the building in
which his office is located.
