the Volstead act, is expected to pro-
vide close contest in the Senate race
between Simeon D. Fess, Republican,
and Atlee Pomerene, Democrat. Fess's
supporters are claiming a plurality for
him Of 100000. The Democratic back
ers of Pomerene insist he will roll up
100000.
Chicago Offices at Stake
In Illinois Democrats admit a prob
able sweep of Republicans down state.
but indications are that the Democrats
will make strong inroads on the choice

Special Dispatch to The Tribune
| CHICAGO, Nov. 6. - United States
deputy marshals, for the first time in
Chicagos history, will assist to-mor-
row in guarding the polls from cleo
tion frauds. One hundred deputies,
chiefly picked men who were used by
the government during the railway
shipments strike, have been sworn in
for special duty, armed with John Doe
! warrants and supplied with automo-
biles in which they will patrol the cleo
tion districts.
The Federal officials will cooperate
with the city police and county deputy
sberiffs, principally in the bad Lands"
wards, including the old "Bloody 10Th" ]"
where Federal, state and city laws are
given scant regard.
Despite claims by Democratic man
ayers that they will sweep the State of
! Illinois tomorrow. careful survey OF
the field tonight indicates that the
down state voters will return the Re-
publican candidates to Office. The
Democrats have centered their fight on

on the tree. Peter Bartzen, the DEM
ocratic candidate, admittedly will poll

not deeply impressed by his claims.
