spscteG Dispatch 10 The Tribune
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 6.--According
to the state and city Republican lead
ers. General Apathy, John A. Mcspsr-
rams chief ally in his race for the
Governorship, is being sho. to pieces,
and they declare that throughout Penn
sylyania tomorrow the men and WON
en- voters will roll up an old fashioned
majority for the Republican ticket.
On the eve of the contest, one of the
most important in decades, Republican
leaders predicted that Clifford Pinchot
and the whole Republican ticket would
sweep the state by majorities running
between 25o,O00 and 100000 or more.
Only in few Congressional districts
are Democrats making any headway, it
was explained and in the hottest con-
test of all, in Lancaster County, the
Republican nominee, Representative
w. w. Griest, is counted on to win over
his Fusion opponent, Mayor Musser, of
Lancaster.
Democratic leaders asserted that Nc
Spartan would carry the rest of the
state and come to Philadelphia with a
big enough majority to overcome the
Republican lead here.
Local Republican leaders look to see
Pinchot and the Republican ticket
carry Philadelphia by q. majority of
anywhere from 10000 to 175,00O
State leaders say that this total
added to the totals to be obtained in
Allegheny, Montgomery, Bucks, Ches-
ter, Delaware, Dauphin and other Re-
publican districts, will produce a rec
ord-breaking Republican state victory.

Seems Sure for Lodge
Special Dispatch to The qribune

Spect0t OtSpQtch 10 IEe 1raofhe
BOSTON, Nov. GA clear-cut VIC
tory for Governor Claiming II. Cox
and Senator Henry Cabot Lodge at the
polls was the expectation to-day in the
final hectic hours Of campaign that
had been previously tame.
3 At no time during the campaign have
their Democratic opponents, former
Mayor John r. Fitzgerald and Colonel
William A. CASTOR, seriously threat
ened to turn sweeping tide against
them.
Two uncertain factors alone caused
any doubt--the size of the vote and the
attitude of the women voters. The
vote, it seemed certain in the wind-up
hours, would be brought out if for no
other reason than that reports Of early
lethargy resulted in unusually strenu-
GUS work to insure q good poll.
While there is no expectation that
despite added registration, in which the
Democrats have the advantage, the vote
will reach the unprecedented total of
more than 100000 in 1920, vote of
100000 was not regarded as unlikely.
In this, even subtracting the independ-
ent vote of 1920, the weight is with
the Republican candidates.
Despite the determined drive-whieh

on the eve of the big showdown to pre-
dict that Lodge would be defeated by
Colonel Gaston-barring notable fail

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 6.--All surface in
contest between James A. Reed and r.
R. Brewster for the United States
Senate, although the betting fraterni4
ties OF St. Louis and Kansas City,
where Reed has greatest strength, are
Offering odds on Reed to win. Some
comparatively large sums have been
posted on Reed to win by $4,000.
The fight is country against city.
Even Democratic leaders connected
with the state campaign admit that
Brewster will defeat Reed in the coun-
try outside of Kansas City and st.
Louis. Brewester's estimated piurali-
ties in the country, which normally is
Democratic by about $4,000, range be-
tween 10000 and 10000
The estimates upon Reeds aggregate
plurality in St. Louis and Kansas City
range between $4,000 and 10000,
Kansas City Democratic politicians, in
cluding Tom Pendergast,> Democratic
will carry Kansas City by from 10000
to $4,000 Republican leaders admit
that Reed will carry Kansas City, but
put it at from six to ten thousand.
Some of the Republican ward leaders
are of the opinion that Reed cannot
carry St. Louis, which normally is 25-
900 Republican, by more than 5000 or
10000. Others admit that he may
carry st. Louis by 10000 or more.
Every report from rural Missouri i'll
dicates a heavy detection OF Demo-
cratic votes from Reed because he
fought Woodrow Wilson and his poll
cies and because he voted against wom-
an suffrage and prohibition. This is
Offset in a measure by Republican ac-
cessions to Reed in the counties bor-
dering the Missouri and Mississippi
rivers, in which many voters OF" Ger
man extraction live, and by the ultra
vets and the liberal element of other
counties.

from, the SaharR--ohio's dry districts
to elect Simeon Fess as Senator and
Carmi Thompson Governor.
Once more the wet and dry question
is up for decision in the form of an
amendment to the state constitution
to permit the manufacture of light
wines and beer. This, more than labor,
state or local issues, will decide the
result. The tendency toward moistness
and against Volsteadism is stronger
than when the campaign opened

City politicians have switched to the
dry side while the rural communities
are said to be less arid than they were.
This will have strong bearing on the
twenty-five Congressional races in the

have been classed as "wets" by the
