Chicago, Oct. 3Q.-An overwhelm-
ing victory, probably a landslide,
for Harding and Coolidge is the
forecast Of the result Of the presi-
dehtial election next Tuesday. Gov
erhor Cox bids fair to be one of the
decisively defeated candidates for the
presidency in history.
Reports from Tribune correspond
ents throughout the country re-
ceived last night and carefully
sttecked against the real expectations
: bf managers at republican and demo-
rcratic headquarters. indicate Harding
conservatively may be expected to
carry not less than 26 states, with a
total electoral vote OF 325, while Cox
is ASSURED of IS states with an elee-
toral vote Of l49, leaving in the
doubtful list. 9 states with 81 cleo
toral votes

White Dodges Figurss.
If Cox should carry all of the |
doubtful states he would have zoo |
yotes and Harding would win With |
majority of ll9. There is little
INSPECT however, of Cox winning
= these doubtful states.
MDemocratic National Chairman |
White predicts the election OF Cox
and Roosevelt, but carefully refrains !
from claiming any individual states
outside of the solid south and from
getting down to figures at all.
Republican National Chairman
Hays foresees a tremendous land
slide for Harding as does Vice
Chairman John T. Adams, who
lists u states as absolutely certain
to give the republicans 1888 electoral
votes.
"The evidence of the overwhelm-
ing republican victory hourly in i
creases." Mr.. Hays said. ut Is now
certain that the republicans will
carry the following states, with a
minimum total of Vos certain elector-
al vo>es:
California, Colorado, Connecticut,
Delaware, Idaho, Illinois,, Indiana,
Iowa. Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts,,
Michigan, Minnesota. Missouri.
Montana. Nebraska. Nevada, New
Hampshire, New Jersey, New York.
North Dakota, Oregon, Pennsyl-
vania, Rhode Island, South Dakota,
Utah, Vermont, Washington. West
Virginia. Wisconsin and Wyoming.
Other Chances Good.
an addition, the republicans have
very much better than an even
chance to carry Arizona. Kentucky,
MARYLAND and New Mexico. with n |
additional electoral votes. This
makes 3os republican ELECTORAL votes
almost certain out of the total of
53l. Republican victory in Kentucky
is absolutely certain, provided the |
weather is such that it is physically
y.4sible for the great republican
majority in the mountains Of eastern
Kentucky to get to the polls"
