Governor Cox Renews At
tack on Opponent in Talk
At Toledo and Predicts
Victory for Himself.

l oledo, o., NOV. l.-Governor
Cox, in his last speech of the CAM
paign tonight summarized his ar
guments for the league of nations
which, he said, was the premier is
sue to be decided tomorrow at the
polls. He predicted victory for him
self, not as the representative of a
party, but as the leader of a cause.
The governor also renewed his
attack on Senator Harding on the
league issue. declaring that the reS
publican candidate was "wiggling and
Nobbling" and the senator's election
meant controversy and confusion" !"
The governor and his party ar
rived here by special train early
in the evening from Dayton. and
left on the return journey inme-
diately after his speech. Tomorrow
he will rest at Dayton, going to the
polls with Mrs. Cox to vote during
the day and then at night will go to
his newspaper office to watch tho
returns.
Speaks in Rain.
On his way here from Dayton, the
governor and his party stopped at
Deshler, a railroad town Of 1000
inhabitants. where several hundred
had gathered, awaiting in drizzling
rain the coming of the candidate. The
governor responded with rear-plat-
form speech, a forerunner of his ar
gument tonight.
Il have always had faith in the
good judgment and patriotism of
the American people" the governor
said, land an analysis of the past
tells US that in all of our history
whenever a moral issue has been
presented. it has been met with the
approval of the American electorate.
If there ever was campaign based
entirely upon a great moral issue,
this is the campaign, because the
thing to be decided is whether the
civilization of the world shall tie
itself together i'll concentrated pur-
pose to prevent the tragedies OF
war ..
Il hope we will have good news
tomorrow night When | say good
news, / do not speak of "a demo-
cratic victory. l speak for a victory
for humanity, which will be a VIC
tory for humanity worldwide. hav-
ling a Significance that touches every
man, woman and child in the civil
hzed powers of the eartk.'
Victory is Predicted.
The governor had no special ad-
dress prepared for the meeting here,
but in it he Reviewed and summar-
lied the various arguments he had
made in his transcontinental tour Of
his long campaign. His visit here
on election eve was in conformity
with political superstition of party
followers here who say that the gov
ernor's only defeat in an election
was encountered when he failed to
end his speech making in this city.
Mrs. Cox and Mrs. Dan Masonery,
daughter of the candidate. accom-
panied him on his trip here.
Many messages were received to-
day by the candidate. None was
made public, but it was said they
predicted the governors victory. The.
weather forecast for the country was
said by members of the governors
party to be cheerful news, predict
ing inclement weather in several
sections where it was regarded that
this would affect the republican vote
more>seriously than that of the demo-
Gratis, particularly in the mountain
section of some border states.

Entire G. D. P. State Ticket.
Except Governor, Slated for
Election by Pluralities
From 10000 Upwards.
McKelHie Likely to Win

Information gathered by The Bee
from correspondents over the state
and from political leaders of botf
parties indicates the following prob
liable results of today's election il
Nebraska:
Senator Harding, the republican
nominee. will win Nebraska's ia
vor for the presidency by plur-
ality Of 10000 over Governor Cox,
with a, possibility that the figure
may run considerably above this
conservative estimate.
The entire republican state
ticket, with the exception of gov
ernor, will be elected by pluralities
running from 10000 upward.
Governor McKelvie probably
will be reelected by plurality
that will run approximately $4,000
below that of Senator Harding.
On the non-partisan ballot.
John NJ. Matzen will be reelected
state school superintendent, with
odds favoring George A. Day for
supreme Judge and with the chief
justiceship much in doubt between
Andrew Morrissey and Grant
Martin.
The six republican congressman
apparently will be reelected. al
though the personal strength of
Judge DUNCAN. democratic nomi-
rtee III the Fifth district, is giving
Congressman w. E. Andrews re-
publican, some concern.
In Douglas county. the entire
republican ticket appears slated to
win, with the possible exception of
enc county commissionership and
one seat ON the legislative delega-
ton.
A hot fight, marked by a break
ing of party lines, is on between
A. D. Compton, democrat. and
T. F. Stroud, republican, for the
county commissionersnip, based
on Compton's road record. Jerry
Howard, democrat, is likely to de-
.fcat some republican for place as
one of Il state representatives.
fVU,VuU VOle Expected.
Senator Harding's majority of
10000 or more is based on the ex-
pectation that the total vote in the
state will run slightly over 100000.
In previous elections, when women
did not vote. there have been from
275,000 to 100000 ballots cast. A
survey of the state throws doubt on
the prospect that women will vote in
anywhere near the same numbers as
men. Assuming that number of
voters will remain away from the
polls, due to dissatisfaction with
nominees of both parties, and allow
ing fora woman's vote of l25,000 to
10000, the total state vote is esti-
mated at from 100000 to 425,000.
Of this total Senator Harding ap-
parently will poll at least 225.000. He
will do this much if he polls only
II out of every 20 voters, and will
thereby gain a plurality over Cox
of 10000. AS a matter of fact, re-
ports indicate that he will do better,
despite an admitted recession to
some extent during the last three
weeks.
The governorship is confessedly a
puzzle, although the odds favor Nc
Kelvie. Curiously enough, the final
days of the campaign found a
panicky condition in both McKelvie

Few States Doubtful.

States in which the republicans
may fail to realize these expectations
are Colorado, Kentucky, Maryland,
Missouri. Montana, Nevada, Utah
and West Virginia. Latest reports
from Tribune correspondents are
that the republicans have share the
better chance in Colorado, Missouri,
Maryland and West Virginia, while
Cox has the apparent advantage in
Kentucky, Montana and Nevada,
with Utah an unknowon quantity.
An old-fashioned landslide, OF
course, would be likely to carry
nearly all these states 'into the re-
publican column.
Republican hopes of carrying
Kentucky are based on their ability
to get out the full vote, including the
newly enfranchised women in the
mountain country, which is the re-
publican stronghold of the state. II
rain should make the roads and
streams impossible, the mountain
eers would be unable to reach the
polls in sufficient number to jar the
normal democratic margin in this
border commonwealth.
- Democrats Dissatisfied.
i Widespread democratic dissatis-
faction with the Wilson regime in
the south apparently is going to re-
suit in considerable Jeffersoniap de-
lection and corresponding increase
III the proportion of the republican
vote below Mason and Dixon's line.
1t is this development which has
caused some republican leaders to
entertain strong hopes of carrying
North Carolina and Tennessee, as
all the border states for Harding
and Coolidge.
On the eve of the balloting, how
ever, it is significant that the repub-
lican managers are no longer count

Majority.
Rain May Hamper Voting
By ARTHUR SEARS HENNING.
Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Lensed Wire.

Chicago, Nov. although gen.
eral rains today and more rain due
tomorrow undoubtedly will result in
a. somewhat smaller vote in rural
districts, there is no reason to madi-
fy the forecast of tremendous tri-
umph for Harding and Coolidge in
the presidential election.
Indications are not Wanting of a
landslide that will bury Cox and
Roosevelt as deeply as the Parker
, ticket in 1904.
The total vote is likely to be rs
100000 or more, if the party organ
lzations get the greater percentage
of the registration to the pools. Four
years ago the total vote was about
100000.
This year from 100000 to TO-
100000 will vote for president for
the first time.
Cox Gains "Moonshine."
Vice Chairman John T. Adams of
the republican national committee.
asserted tonight that democratic
claims of recent gains by Cox "are
more moonshine," He predicted that
Harding would have a total of 1872
votes in the electoral college, a
majority of 2S3. The Cox managers
continued to claim victory by small
margin.
There is no doubt that land
slide would carry Harding close to
the 392 votes predicted by Mr..
Adams. Tabulation of reports from
unprejudiced observers in all states
gives the republican ticket a mini
mum of 323 votes and several politi-
cal forecasters who were, assording
to Cox, the benefit of every doubt
place the probable Harding total at
500. or majority of III for the re-
publican ticket.

NEW uIAl BROWN COUNTY MNEsoTA,
TWO NEW INSTRUCTORS
AT DR.. M. LUTHER COLLEGE
Rev. A. Schaller, Redwood Falls,
and Rev. Carl Schweppe,
Bowdle, S. D., Accept.

Two additional instructors have been
added to the faculty of DR.. Martin
Luther College in this city, and both
new professors will assume their duties
at this institution next Monday.
The call extended to Rev. A.
Schaller of Redwood Falls recently
has been accepted by him, after his
congregation had granted him re-
lease. He is a son of the late Prof.
John Schaller, who for many years
was the efficient director of the local
institution. Not only the members
of his parish, but many other friends
at Redwood Falls, regret his departure
from that city, but feel that his &C
ceptance of the call to a professorship
in the local college is an advancement
which he could not very well decline.
He will assume the duties of instructor
in religion, German, Latin and Greek.
The other new faculty member is
Rev. Carl Schweppe of Bowdle, S. D.,
who has accepted call to the pro-
fessorship of English. He and his
family removed to New Ulm the fore
part of this week and are doniciled
in No. 110 South German street.
With the addition Of these capable
instructors, the college faculty is now
complete.

OCTOGENARIANS' REUNION
PLANNED FOR VICINITY
Names and Addresses of Aged
People in This Locality Now
Being Gathered.

A movement has been inaugurated,
looking toward the enumeration of the
names and addresses of those residents
OF New Ulm and vicinity, who have
either reached or passed the S0th
milestone of life, for the purpose of
arranging a reunion. The purpose of
the enumeration is to ascertain how
many octogenarians reside in this
locality at the present time, as we'll as
their names and addresses. This will
also give them an opportunity to be-
come better acquainted. The plan
outlined herewith has been suggested
by our venerable fellow-citizen, August
Peters, sc years young, who, in spite
OF his advanced age, takes,-a lively
interest in all vital matters.
The Review will gladly receive and
record the names and addresses of
residents of New Ulm and vicinity,
who are four score or more years old.
This applies to men and women alike,
for it is intended to include both in
this enumeration. The necessary in
formation may be given us over the
telephone, which quite a number of
people laready have done. Call either
401, 101 or 254.
1t is to be hoped that the proposed
reunion of octogenarians of this
locality will materialize and that the
aged people will enjoy this opportunity
to renew old acquaintance and make
new ones.
