Country's Silent Vote Will Name Next President TAFT SURtLY TO RUN THIRD Biltle is B'lw.m Democrats and Ball Moose la tarty Every Stale Kxcpl Solid Sonib (Special to the Evening Review). XF.W YORK. Nov. 4. With all previous methods of forecasting thrown Into the discard, and the gnatest silent vote" In the history of the Nation llneil up in every doubt ful state, the Presidential election which will take place tomorrow bids fair to hang up records in many ways. For the first time since the Populist party was an netive factor in American life there is a third party with a chnnce. Hut the fact that at th? head of the National Pro gressive party is Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, famed for his luck, and that It has been an active working organization in every slate, makes it a must potent factor in the results. Should there be a democratic land slide, as has been clnimed by the managers of that party and seeming ly Indicated by the newspaper polls in many lucalllles. then the Progres sive organization may have the chance of capturing the regular Re publican organization In many of the states. Hitler I'iglit 111 New England. In the Eastern group of states con ditions are topsy-turvy. Starting up in Maine the Republican organization is almost cut In half and the Demo crats were supremely confident today of sweeping the state, although the Mull Moose organization was not con ceding this result, but up to the very last Tulnute had Its best fighters in the field. It seemed almost certain that, the result hero was between Wilson and Roosevelt nnd the Presi dent TaTt would finish third. Ver mont, Massachusetts and Connecticut were the other battle grounds in the New England group. In these three states the fight has been most hitter and the outcome so certainly rests with the way the silent vote Is cast that all reports of polls submitted to headquarters containing two sets, I ho first very rosy for public con sumption, nnd the second very pessi mistic, made It very plain that the party managers bad been unable to gel any real line on tlio feelings of the voters. Rhode island, n great manufactur ing state and a high tariff communi ty has been generally conceded by all of the campaign managers as moral ly certain for Taft. hut during the last fortnight the Hull Moose orators have, tried to stir up sentiment for Roosevelt nnd have claimed to be successful. New VoikAn Kiiignin. "As New York goes so goes the Nation" lias been a slogan In every campaign. Only three times In the history of the country has a Presi dential randidate been elected who failed to get the electoral vote of the Kinpire Slate. The fight In New York has been very hitter and pnrty lines have been smashed In every section. Old lime Republicans have aided the Hull Moose campaign up- Oh Where Is my wandering boy tonight or It may bo a girl.

Tammany will poll almost its normal vote in Manhattan and the Bronx, but there is grave doubt of what the outcome will be In Kings County where Timothy L. Woodruff, admittedly one of the cleverest of campaign managers, has devoted his entire time for (he last three months to organizing the Moose forces. Most of his Btrength, the Democrats say, has come from the regular Republi can organization. If this is true then the Democrats ought to carry Kings County rnther easily, but Woodrow Wilson said only today that his per son pel's indicate that the Bull Moose will poll more votes In Kings than both of the old parties com bined. Queens and Richmond, which make up the remainder of the greater city, will probably vote along nor mal ltnes and the outcome should be at least a normal greater city plu rality for the Democratic candidates. What will happen up-state Is hard to say. In addition to Roosevelt's per sonal popti'arity, he has been aided in the state by the strength of Oscar S. Straus, the Progressive guberna torial candidate, who is very popular In the cities of the state, having been a Cleveland Democrat until he left the party on the gold and silver Issue. KLKCTION FORECASTS: RIO MAJORITY EOR WILSON. NEW YORK. Nov. 3. "Wilson and Marshall will have the largest majority of electoral votes given to any candidate since before the Civil War," said Chairman McCombs In the Democratic forecast. "They will receive also the largest popular voto ever given a political party in the 'history of the United States. They I will carry not less than 40 of the 48 states, and are likely to carry all of them. A unanimous vote In the elec toral college will not surprise any one who has Been the confident re ports to Democratic National head quarters In the laBt dayB of the cam paign.

UQH Bid ISSUE All Else Secondary in Interest In Roseburg Tomorrow 1ST VOTE UNDER HOME RULE Comparison of Former E'tclions Shows Some Strange Inconsistencies in the Results National and state Issues and In dividual candidates will apparently be of secondary interest to Roseburg voters at tomorrow's election, when the citizens will vote for the fifth time on the liquor question. With the election of Woodrow Wilson to the Presidency a practical certainty, and no more than casual Interest manifest in candidates for offices of lesser Importance, from United States Senator down to constable, public concern locally has beeu centered for the most part on the question or whether Roseburg Is to continue leg ally dry for the next two years or re turn to the saloon license system in vogue prior to 1908. The vote on the liquor question In Roseburg tomorrow will be the first to be taken by tho municipality under the Home Rule law enacted In 1910, divorcing incorporated cities from tho county local option law and making them exclusive units within themselves as regards the li censing of the liquor traffic. Unlike the local option law, the Home Rule law does not require each precinct of the city to vote wet In order to be wet. The vote of the city as a whole governs the city In Its entire ty, ,the same as on any other ques tion. Drys Wage Hot Campaign. Tho campaign that liaB preceded election day hiiB been, from the standpoint of the drys, one of the wannest ever seen in this city. Last month, when four men of reputed wet tendencies were elected to the city council, making a clean sweep of the ticket. It was generally re garded that the city would vote wet tomorrow by a big majority. Since that time, however, the drys have pulled themselves together nnd put up a battle that has shaken the once Biiprcme confidence of the wets and put the political prophets at sea. From the preBS, pulpit, street comer and public hall, the nntl-Bnloon ora tors during the past three weeks have been thundering their oral volleys at the liquor traffic and claim to have gained many converts to their cause, and people who once accepted It ns a foregone conclusion that the city would vole wet are now entertaining serious doubts nbout It. The wets still declare that they will win, but they say the result may be close. They assert that the dry parade did not represent more than 10 per cent of the registered vote of the city.. Their former spirit of complacency has given way, however, to one of anxiety and they nrc re doubling their efforts to win. One of their strong arguments is Hint the City of Sutlierlln, nccording to all forecasts from that place, will vote wet and that if Roseburg does not do likewise that this city will be placed In the same relationship that dry Eugene benrs to wet Springfield. To the neutral observer It appears that both drys and wets have gained and lost support during the past two years, but which side lias made the biggest net gain Is a matter of mere guesswork. Certain It Is, that the liquor ques tion will be all-absorbing at the polls tomorrow. Voters have evinced little Interest In speakerB for other politi cal subjects who have appeared dur ing the campaign, but the prohibi tion speeches huve brought them out by tho hundreds. Liquor Voto of I'awt Years. Roseburg, In common with all of Douglas County, voted first on the liquor question In 1904, following the enactment of the county local option law by the State Legislature. Pro hibition was defeated In the county by 199 votes 1883 to 1084. The city of Roseburg. consisting then of four precincts, rejected prohibition as a whole by 71 majority, out of 1021, but the northern half of the cltv. divided Into the precincts of Umpqua and Deer Creek, did not contribute to the majority and were compelled, under tho provisions of the law to remain dry. They gave a combined majority for prohibition ir. Tim other two precincts. 1 Roseburg and West Roseburg. voled against prohibition by a combined majority of 107. I In 1900 Ihe county voted on a proposition to amend the local option law so thnt the wet precincts could not be made dry by counteracting majorities In dry precincts. This was rejected by H92 votes, of which Rose burg contributed a margin of 87 out of a total of 941. In that year five precincts of the county, previously dry voted on the liquor question l"I"M"l"I"I"I"I"l"I"I"I-I-I-I-I"Mm j- 1 uo muiea ui ma rreauy- j $ terlan Church will serve a 4. 4 genuine home cooked chicken 4 dinner with all the accompanl-' 4 4 ments, in the parlors of the ! 1 1. ...... 1. .. 1 1 . . t j. b, beginning at 11:30 a. m. 4. 4 They will alBO serve lunch la t 4 the evening at the same place. n4 ' . through Initiative petitions, nnd in Riddle, Yoncalla and Melrose the wets won. In Canyonvllle and Myrtle Creek they lost. Deer Creek precinct of Roseburg swung back into the wet column by a majority of 43. County Dry for Four Years. In 1908 tne question of county wide prohibition was again placed before the voters and that time the county reversed lta former negative majority of 199 by giving u majority of 412 in favor of prohibition. This threw every precinct which had voted wet into a dry regime. Among these were Deer Creek and Umpqua pre cincts of this city, the former having a wet majority of 3 votes and the latter 10. Against a total of 13, Roseburg and West Roseburg, previ ously wet precincts, rolled up re spective dry majorities of 39 and 1!. a total of .il, giving the dryB the better of it by 38 votes in the city as a whole. The county-wide result not only annuled the wet majorities In two of the Roseburg precincts, but in one outside precinct us well. This was Myrtle Creek, the returns from which showed an almost equal divi sion of sentiment there. Hy a vote of 136 to 134, the town went on record in favor of licensing saloons. Two years before It defeated the same question hy a vote of 116 to 110. In 1910 tho wets of the state won an Important victory by the popular enactment of the law under .which Roseburg votes tomorrow the Home Rule measure which excludes tho rest of tho county from voting on the question as It relates to the city. The county in 1910 gave an example of that inconsistency whlcn makes elec tion forecasts a hazardous matter. After voting two years before for county-wide prohibition, reversing Its stntid inla 04, tho county re turned a majority of 208 against state-wldo prohibition and another majority of 310 against the "search and seizure" liquor bill, which af- focted personal and home privacy. Roseburg, too, exhibited a queer po litical prank. Hy majorities of 110 and 142 It rejected both Btate-wlde nrohlhltlon and the seizure bill nnd at the same time voted to reject the Home Rule hill. The vote ngninst Homo rule totalled 705 exactly the same number registered against state prohibition. The negative ma Jority on the former measure In this city was 99, out of a total of 1311 votes. Over luo In excess 01 uie present registration of the city. The majority against state prohibition was 110. In the county the Home Rule bill lost, M9C to 2301. In the light of the fluctuating ma jorities In past yearB, It is absolutely impossible to forecast tomorrow's remit with nnv deEree of accuracy. The Home Rule law excludi-s from voting on the liquor quosnon ueie the farming element, which the wets hnvo nlwnvs fonred. The confining of the vote to actual residents of the city Is claimed by the wets to he a big advantage- o mem. 1 '.. however, appear to be more confi dent of victory tomorrow, although still energetically nt work, and are (Continued on last page.)

Brown and Curdwcll Each Declare Other Represents llrtwery In Race for Office. Before, an audience' that filled every nook and corner of the armory and overflowed Into the windows and the street, W. W. Cardwell and (ieorge M. Brown, rival aspirants for the District Attorneyship, provided a sequel to last Saturday's dry parade through the city by meeting In the evening in joint debate, each In an effort to convince the voters that the other was the "brewery candidate." Cardwell opened with a speech of an hour and a quarter. Brown fol lowed with an address that lasted for two hours and a half and which might have lasted longer It the patience of tho audience had not be come exhausted, and they began mak ing frequent' calls for Cardwell, As scores of persons were filing out of the hull, Brown finally subsided and cries of "Cardwoll" continued. Ab Cardwell rose to reply the Btrcnm of outgoing humanity became aug mented mid nmid tho confusion that forced the close of the wordy duel Cardwell declared Mint Brown, in-his reply, had evaded the vital points raised by his challenger. If either candidate materially gained or loBt lo the other politically by the debate It was not apparent from the com ment that followed it. One of tho most scathing public "roasts" ever listened to locally was given by Cardwell to tho editor of the Oily News for Ills brazen hypoc risy and unwarranted sensationalism and nbuse during the present cam paign. Ills enreer ever since coming to Roseburg wns shown to be any thing but commendable. Cardwell charged that Brown bad been In possession of sufficient evi dence ever Blnco the city went dry In 190S to convict tho brewery of violation of I ho local option law, but that he did not see fit to prosecute Hie brewery until tho advent of a political campaign nnd then only when prodded by Governor West. Prosecutions of numerous Individuals charged with selling M10 product of tho browery wero cited. In reply. Brown set up the defenso that such cases as caino before him wore thoroughly investigated hy the grand luiies and that their failure to indict Ihe brewery on account of luck of evi dence precluded li 1 111 from prosecut ing the concern. On other occasions, Individuals charged wllh liquor sell ing were acquitted by trial Juries, necessitating the dismissal of Indict ments against other persons similar ly charged. Professional and family relation ships were detailed by Cardwell to support bis contention of Ihe exist ence of II "court bouse ring" devoted to "Ibo protection of the brewery." Brown came back wllh 11 court record showing that Cardwell had acted as attorney for Max Weiss when the lat ter owned Hie local brewery. He said that for the past sixteen years he hail 1 1 engaged In defending men charged Willi violating the law. particularly those accused of selling Ihe product of the brewery Blnce 1908.. Cardwell previously recited Mint he was purposely deprived of the particular clientele referred to 111 order lo make way for a brewery attorney, "against whom Brown would not prosecute ns vigorously. In the final sally. Brown wna 011 irueed In an elaborate eulogy of him self and Ills record, when the nudl enco begun breaking up.
