THE MORNING OBEGONIAN, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1904. Little Anxiety at Politi cal Headquarters. VIEWS ARE FAR APART landslide Is Confidently Pre dicted by Both Sides, CORTELYOU CLAIMS 31 4 VOTES Democrats Say Parker Will Have 270 Ballots In Electoral College No Excitement About Hotels, ahd Little Money Is Wagered. NEW YORK, Nov. 7. There was no ex tremc anxiety about political headquar ters today, but the managers -were alert and watching the close of the campaign with great Interest. The Democratic Na tional Committee Issued a statement claiming -with confidence the election of Judge Parker, and also making assertions about the campaign fund of the Repub lican party. Chairman Cortelyou, al though shown a copy of the statement, would make no comment further than to repeat the claim made last night that Mr. Roosevelt would have 314 votes In the Electoral College. The Democrats claim 270 "votes. About the hotels where politicians usually gather and where great interest 1s shown on the eve of an election, there was the same quiet that has marked the progress of the canvass. A few groups In cafes discussed the situation and ex pressed opinions on the result, hut ;there was no excitement nor offers to wager any large sums which has been a fea ture of previous -elections. Statements Far Apart. Some opinions were expressed .by mem bers of the different committees, their views being that the election would be a landslide for the candidate they sup ported. The wide difference In the est! mates of the two committees and the confidence which the managers of both parties expressed, caused no little com ment. There also was discussion upon the newspaper polls, and they were in dorsed or discredited according to the party bias of the person who gave an opinion. Both committees received reports dur. ing the day from lieutenants in the Held and both claimed that the report bore out their Dredlctions of success and caused their respective partisans to de clare with Increased confidence their he lief la the election of the candidate they supported. Judge Parker, who closed his tour speeches in Brooklyn last evening, re mained In New York until 6 o'clock, when he left for Esopus. No special plans have been made by either committee for tomorrow, but they will be in close communication with party managers in the debatable states and the last final suggestions for Tuesday's work will be made. Nearly AH 'Northern States. v-arw -voTfKL "Nov. 6. Georce B. Cortel you. chairman of the Republican National Committee, made a brief statement to nihfr. on the result of the election. He said: "As a final forecast I see no reason to change my previous statement and I ad here to that after receiving full reports from all over the United States in the last 48 hours. I am satisfied that the Re nriMiRun candidates for President and Vice-President will carry every Northern fitnt xrith the oosslble exception of Maryland and Nevada, and will not hav less than 314 of the 475 votes In the Elec toral College." APPEAL OF THE DEMOCRATS. Allege Republicans Are Using Trust Money in Campaign. NEW YORK. Nov. 6. The National Democratic Committee today gave out final statement for publication. It Is ad' dressed to the "Democratic and Independ ent Voters, and reads as follows: "This committee has conducted a Na tional canvass In a manner. It believes, befitting the- dignity and Integrity of the American people. It has advanced no Imaginative claims respecting results and has not accepted for use In the campaign a single dollar from the tariff-bred trusts, whoEe exactions have so greatly Increased the cost of every necessity of life and which are now contributing from their gains great sums of money to perpetuate Republican rule. "The Democratic candidate, if elected, will be absolutely free from obligation, direct or implied, to any person or group of persons, other than the whole people, who shall have Intrusted to him the main tenance of the welfare of the republic. "This committee asks for itself only so much credit as such conduct of a canvass may merit, but it does feel that both the party and the country are to be congratu lated upon the fact that out of discord and weakness has been wrought a union of strength. The difficulties attendant upon this achievement are well under stood. At every turn, by every conceiv able method, in every doubtful district of every doubtful state, the efforts which we maintain to have been at least patri otic and know to have been creditable to both the candidate and this committee have been met by an avalanche of money. "The source -of supply of this .great Re publican campaign fund Is no longer a matter of suspicion.' The Republican can didate declared with great vehemence that he had promised nothing more than he may be pleased to consider 'a square deal,' In return for campaign contribu tions. The Republican chairman, he vig orously asserted, had assured him more than once that there had been no neces sity for making direct pledges that It had, been found possible to obtain all the money needed, up to that time, at any rate, without doing so. "Neither he nor bis chairman denied that contributions had been accepted from the trusts, tor the simple fact was un deniable, and each knew that it was sus ceptible of overwhelming proof. The pay meats were 'voluntary.' not forced; such, , and such alone, was the burden of denials which were virtual admissions. "The only question remaining was how rauh had been considered necessary. For tunately, even this Information was forth coming Simultaneously with the prepa- xatioa ft the mofc axtr&onlixuux tMBpec-J. amenta! document. Indicative of the keen est desperation which has ever emanated from the white House, the candidate a most intimate and trusted adviser, the former Secretary of "War. Just returned from Washington, waa uttering another and more detailed 'defense' of his chief In this city. The mere fact of contribution,' ho held to be Inoffensive. His chief pride was in the great work accomplished for bo small an expenditure. 'The fact Is, he proudly declared, 'that it is the small est fund we have had for 13 years about one-half the Republican fund .when Mc Klnley was elected In 1S96.' That fund, it is well known, was approximately 510,- 000,000. Accepting these figures as cor rect, therefore, the Republican chairman has had only about $5,000,000 at his dis posal. "The chain Is completed, the trust con tributions not denied by either the candi date or the chairman, unequivocally ad mitted, and the amount plainly stated by the ex-Secretary of War. Five million dollars Is the sum. More could have been had If needed, ut under the present chairman's more careful di rection this was deemed sufficient. But why did the trust contribute to the Re publican canvass? 'They were asked,' says the outspoken ex-Secretary. "Did they think they were buying a Presidency, or were they content with the assurance from the Republican candi date of 'a square deal? In either case, upon their own testimony, the Republican candidate stands today before his fellow- countrymen as one willing and eager to accept for himself a Presidency tnat has cost protected monopolies the great sum of $5,000,000. Can 55.000,000 of trust money buy Presidencr? Can this sum. great as It Is. contributed in the hope of favors to be returned and gratefully accepted as necessary means for the gratification of personal ambition suffice to thwart? Thwart the will of the American people? We cannot, will not bow before it. Moreover, we have the cheering Intelli gence to convey to all Democratic, inde pendent and patriotic citizens that the most recent and thorough canvasses of the doubtful states are absolutely con vlnclng that Judge Parker will be elected. "Fully appreciating the fact that within 4S hours the actual result will be known. and keenly sensible of the responsibility we assume, we declare our positive belief that the Democratic candidates will re ceive at least 270 votes in the electoral college. "We appeal to all patriotic citizens to do their duty by their country and par ticipate in the triumph of an unpurchas- able people." NO DOUBT IN INDIANA. Roosevelt Will PqIo More Votes Than Gubernatorial Candidate. INDIANAPOLIS. Nov. 6. There is no nerceniJbln chan-re in the nolitical situa tion in Indiana since Saturday night. The leaders of both parties appear confident that their work has been brought to successful conclusion. The Vice-Presidential candidacy of Sen ator Charles W. Fairbanks, the coinci dent candidacy for re-election of Albert J. Beveridge and the possibility of the elec tion of the Republican National ticket. has Injected Into the political situation in this state a peculiar and unusual con tingency. The possible necessity for the election of two United States Senators has been the incentive for the Democratic State Committee to concentrate its efforts on the legislative ticket. Many prominent Democrats believe their party will make serious inroads upon Republican strength on the legislative districts. On the other hand, Republican party leaders are con fident that the Republicans will have In creased representation, in the Legislature. Today it appears that Indiana is Re publican by a safe majority. It istho consensus of opinion that John W. Kern, the Democratic candidate for Governor, will run considerably ahead of the Na tional ticket or conversely that J. Frank Hanley, Republican, candidate, will poll fewer votes than President Roosevelt. Indications are that Congressional elec tions will result In no change in the com plexion of Indiana's representation. The Democrats probably will elect four Con gressmen and the Republicans nine. Taggart Says Ticket Is Safe. INDIANAPOLIS. Nov. 6. Thomas Tag gart, chairman of the Democratic Nation al Committee, spent the day in his office in conference with party leaders. When asked for an expression of opinion as to the result of the election on Tuesday, he replied: "Say to every one that the National Democratic ticket is safe." When requested to give figures in con nection with this prediction, he refused. He was vigorous in his prediction that the Democrats of Indiana would elect the state and legislative ticket. VIGOROUS FIGHT IN -ILLINOIS, Democrats Still Have Hopes of Carry ing the State. CHICAGO, Nov. 6. Nothing developed today to break the regular Sunday mon otony at the Western headquarters of the Republican National Committee. The day was spent by those remaining at head quarters In making estimates of how large President Roosevelt's majority would be. There was a report afloat at headquar ters tonight that the Republican Nation al Committee would maintain the head quarters of the committee In Washington during tne next four years. To give strength to the statement, it was ru mored that Chairman Cortelyou -would be located at Waslhngton for the next four years, and would be unable to use his of fice as the headquarters of the committee, as Senator Hanna did. that it would be necessary, for convenience sake, to open headquarters at the National Capital. The state campaign Is still being pushed vigorously by both parties. The state leaders on both sides claim to be hopeful of victory, although the Indications are apparently in favor of Republican suc cess. Roy West, chairman of the Repub lican State Committee, said tonight: "The probabilities are that the state will be represented in Congress by at least 17 Republicans. Two of the districts are still doubtful, and we may be able to cut down the number of Democratic Congress men from eight to six, making our total representation 19." The Democratic leaders, while admit ting that it has been an up-hill fight, de clare that they still have hopes of earn lng Illinois. Roger C. Sullivan, Demo cratic National Committeeman, said to night: 'While it is a far reach to place Illinois in the Democratic column, still it must be remembered that Illinois "went Democratic In 1892, when nobody expected it would do so. There are many of the same political conditions In Illinois this year as there were 12 years ago, and we earnestly be neve we nave a cnance lor success agalfl." ONLY A QUESTION OF SIZE. Pennsylvania Will Be Overwhelm ingly Republican. PHILADELPHIA, Nov. C About the only Interest la the National and stato tickets In Pennsylvania is. the size of the Republican plurality. Republican State Chairman Penrose predicts a plurality of from 300.000 to 325,000 for the National ticket and the same vote for John P. El kln. the Republican nominee for Supremo Court Justice. The Democratic managers have made no estimates beyond saying that the Re publican prediction la too high. The Democrats have mado a determined fight la eight of the 82 Congressional districts. and hope to increase their membership la the National House by three. The Re publicans claim the Republican delega tion will remain the same. The Legislature will remain orsnrbeia- ingly Republican. There Is no . Indication of opposition to the 'election to the Sen ate in January of P. C Knox. POLL OF PEOPLE'S PARTY. Watson's Chairman' Says He Will Have 1,500,000 Votes. NEW YORK, Nov. 6. Melvin G. Pal- liser, chairman of the New lork Stato Executive Committee of the People'3 party, tonight issued a statement in which he said: 'Mr. Watson will poll over 1,500.000 votes. The Peonies' party is now thor oughly organized and is more National in character than the Republican party. It has aggressive organizations in every state of the Union except Vermont, Rhode Island and Pennsylvania. In all except these states the ticket is on the official ballot. Mr. Watson advises us that the electoral vote of Georgia will be cast for him. A people's party Congressman will in all nrobabilitr be elected in Alabama. In New York State I reel connaeni that Watson and Boulton will poll from 40.000 to 50,000 votes. KANSAS BY 90,000 PLURALITY. Republicans Are Sure of Enormous Vote in State. TOPEKA. Kan.. Nov. C It Is conceded by the Democratic State Committee to- nleht that Roosevelt's plurality in ian- sas will be about 70.000. but it Is claimed bv the committee that the Democratlo state ticket will be elected Because or complicated ballot system In this state, WHEN YOU CAN VOTE. The polls will be open tomorrow from 8 o'clock In the tnornlns until 7 o'clock in the evening. All legally quallfled and duly regis tered electors can vote in the precinct in which they are re-jittered. Those not registered, but otherwise Qualified, can vote toy making affidavit before six freeholders. which probably result In many defective ballots If much scratching is done. It Is believed that thousands of Republi cans will vote against T. J. Kelley, Re publican candidate for re-election to the office of State Treasurer, against whom serious charges have been preferred In the conduct of his office. The Republicans claim that Roosevelt will carry the state by 90.000 plurality ana that the state ticket will be earned oy a safe plurality, admitting, however, that Kelley will run about 20,000 Denlnd nis ticket. GREAT INTEREST IN NEW JERSEY Candidates . for Governor Carry on Canvass Until the Last Minute. TRENTON, N. J., Nov. 6. The interest In the state campaign In New Jersey has been so great that the Democratic and Republican Gubernatorial candidates will not close their respective canvasses until tomorrow night. The Republicans reit erate that Roosevelt and Fairbanks will carry the state by a large majority, and that Stokes for Governor will win by slightly reduced vote. The Democrats, on the other hand, have more confidence in defeating Stokes than they have in car rying the state for Parker. The next Legislature, which will elect a successor to United States Senator John Kean. will, the Republicans say, be safely Republican. MINNESOTA IS FOR ROOSEVELT Republicans Expect Also to Elefct Their Governor. ST. PAUL, Nov. 6. Rosevelt will carry the state, the only question being the size of his majority. Republican managers claim It will be at least 70,000. The Re publicans are practically certain of solid Congressional delegatioa. The only uncertain element in the state campaign Is the Governorship. Newspa per partisans of John A. Johnson give him pluralities ranging from 6000 to 20, 000. On the other hand the Republicans claim the election of Robert C. Dunn by 41,000 plurality. That there is serious de fection among the Republicans is ad mitted. Aim at West Virginia Legislature. WHEELING, W. Va., Nov. 6. National Committeeman John L. McGraw and State Chairman O. S. McKlnney, of the Demo cratic organization, tonight both express the greatest confidence In the outcome. The Democrats claim they will elect S. W. Walker in the Second and Allen C. Mur- dock in the Fourth Congressional District, with good fighting chances for Davenport In the Third and Altlzer In the Fifth. Dovener. Republican, is expected to win over Barnes In the Wheeling district, the normal Renubllcan majority being De- tween 4000 and 5000. The Democrats are making a great ef fort to capture the Legislature, and the Republican tax reform disaffection is aid ing them materially. Democrats Claim the Governor. BOSTON, Nov. S. The Democrats, while conceding that Roosevelt will carry the state,, claim that William L. Douglass, Democratic candidate for Governor, will be elected and that they will secure 5 of the 14 Congressmen. The Republicans say that Roosevelt will receive a plurality of from 60,000 to 75,000; that Governor Bates will be elected, al though running somewhat behind the Na tional ticket, and that they will elect 12 out of the 11 Congressmen. Tomorrow night "both parties will hold rallies in every ward In this city. Democrats Claim the Legislature.. WILMINGTON, DeL, Nov. 6. About the most Interesting development of the campaign in Delaware today is the claim of the Democrats that they will have a majority In the next Legislature, which Is to elect a United States Senator to suc ceed Senator SalL The Democrats still think their4 candidate for Governor will be elected, and that Parker has a good chance of carrying the state. The Republicans claim the Legislature and the state and National tickets, plac ing Roosevelt's majority at about SOOO. Populists Hope for Good Weather. LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. 6.

Conceded to Republicans. SIOUX FALLS. S. D., Nov. 6. The cam paign in South Dakota, was In many re spects the most remarkable in the his tory of the state, as little Interest has been shown. This is due to the fact that it was generally conceded from, the start that the Republicans would carry the state by overwhelming pluralities. About 100.000 votes will be cast, and the Re publicans will poll 65,000 or 70,000 of this number, according to Indications. Center Efforts on Governor. CONCORD, N. H., Nov. 6.

Republican figures tonight give the state to Roosevelt by 10,000 plurality, while a plurality of about 2000 Is predicted for G. H. Utter for Governor.

WITH A BIG MARGIN Republicans Will Carry Idaho for Roosevelt THREE ISSUES PRESENTED Mormons Expected to Vote as Unit Candidate Gooding Comes Out Clear on Sheep and Sugar Questions. T?niaw Maho. Nov. 6. (Special.) The campaign in this" state is closing with every indication pointing toward a large Republican majority, ir is aamuiea t hv the Democrats that Roosevelt will enmr the state witn a majority mucu larger than was cast for the Bepublican Btate ticket two years ago, but the Demo crats Insist they will make great inroads on the state ticket. Two years ago 31,871 votes were cast for John T. Morrison, Republican candidate for Governor, and 2S.021 for Frank W. Hunt, the Democratic candidate, 2362 he me cast for other candidates, tne total poll being 60.2CT, and" a plurality of 5S53 lnir secured for the Renubllcan noml nee. The Democrats carried seven of the 21 counties. This year the Republicans talk of car rying every county In the state for Roose velt, but the Democrats Insist they will not carry more than four outside of the Mormon section for the state ticket. The latter expect to lose heavily in the six Mormon counties and seem to anticipate defeat of their state ticket, but they maintain they will cut the Republicans down In every portion of tne state out side of the Mormon region. The size of the Republican majority deDends unon the action of thase six counties of the Southeast. If the Mor mons vote "as a unlt as has been threat ened, for the Republican state ticket the majority will run up well with that for President, but If they divide there will be a considerable difference between the votes for President and- state officials. Roosevelt will certainly have 12.000 ma jority In the state, while the state ticket may not have more than 6000. In the Southeast the- Mormons desire to vote solidly against the Dubois state tick et, but they are being advised that sucn action would place t club In the hands of the Senator. The plank In the platform to which they object simply demands extir pation of polygamy and church dictation In politics. The alleged fact is called to the attention of the Mormons by some of their leaders that.DuboIg really wishes them to vote against the Democratic ticket because of that plank, intending to use the vote as proof of what he charges against them. It is supposed the Mormon Issue has had some effect In other portions of the state. Indeed. In a few communities some little defection has been detected, though nothing like a general movement has set In. Those In charge of the Republican campaign realize some may vote for the Democratic ticket without announcing their purpose publicly, and they make aj lowances in their estimate for such loss. But. though there may be some such loss. It will be far more than offset by the votes of Democrats supporting the Republican ticket because of the Mormon Issue. Another influence in the campaign Is what is called the sheep question. Mr. Gooding, the Republican candidate for Governor. Is a sheepowner. There is feellnr among settlers In the mountain valleys against sheep and their owners. ana sir. Gooding will unaouDteuiy ne cut considerably on that account. He has an nounced his adhesion to. what Is called the two-mlle-llmlt law which gives set tlers right of action for damages against the owner of sheep driven .within two miles of his habitation: but the Demo crats demand a more stringent law, one making It a public offense to drive sheep within that distance of a habitation. Sheep Interfere with the small settlers. particularly In the matter of range for their cows and horses. They likewise In terfere with prospector Hence the feel ing. It cannot be overcome, and is likely to cost Mr. Gooding several hundred votes. In the northern portion of the state some Inroads are said to have been made upon Republican strength because of the siJ gar-bounty law. Under the law the companies have earned some $250,000, but there is no appropriation for payment of this sum. excepting $20,000. It has been held by competent attorneys that the law la unconstitutional and the sugar com panies have not pressed claims for boun ty. The law expires by limitation at the close of the present year, but that earned bounty of $250,000 has given the Demo crats opportunity to appeal to the people, and they have done so with some success in the North. Mr. Gooding has publicly announced he will not pay any part of the J2O,C00 unless required to do so by the courts and that he would veto a bill making any further appropriation. Whether this announce ment will have an effect In the North remains to be seen. - TOOLE'S ELECTION CONCEDED Montana Will Probably Give Roose velt 7500 Plurality. BUTTE, Mont., Nov. 6. The campaign in Montana will close tomorrow with ad dresses by United States Senator W. A. Clark and a number of local speakers In this city for the Democrats, while the Re publicans will conclude with & grand rally with local speakers on the rostrum. A feature of the campaign In this state has been the generally increased registration and weather conditions favoring the vote. It 13 believed the vote will be one of the heaviest polled In the history of the state. Republican managers tonight express themselves as feeling very sanguine over the outlook, predicting that, from further reports from the outlying districts, the be lief Is strengthened that Montana will go for Roosevplt by 7500, returning Joseph Dixon to Congress and electing a Repub lican Legislature. Democratic leaders declare there Is not the slightest doubt that Judge Parker will carry the state by a.-good majority; also that the complexion of the next Leg islature will be Democratic. The election of Austin C Gormlcy to Congress Is also forecasted. The election of Governor J. Did you get up tins mornmgx with a headache? Bad tiste in your mouth? Not much appetite for breakfast?

The Republicans will close their campaign w. a big rally. voters will be held by the American party. a reature or wis year s campaign has been the enormous registration of women.

I am compleatly satisfied with my horso from Major Eggleston. a better one in harness I never drove, he brought me In my single phaeton from Washington, with out ever appearing fatigued, altho the roads were bad, & and the weather rainy, he Is fine tempered and manageable, tho' high-spirted, tho the price was about 50 D too much from appearances, yet I would give that advance In the purchase of a horse to know that he was what I wished. Castor, & Fitzpartner are bath left here at nurse, and I shall have them sold, consequently my stable will be re duced to Dlomede & St. Louis, a match for Dlomede, as good as he. Is, would make It up what will suffice for me as a. pri vate citizen. I will thank you to be on the enquiry, for such an one, and to give me notice of price & properties, but it will be essential that he match Diomede tolerably, and be well broke to the car riage & no baulker. I trouble you with these commissions because you are in" the only part of the country where, a fine horse can be got. I-leave this for WsisnT ington the day after tomorrow. I have received no foreign news of consequence since I saw you. present me with all pos- sbile affection to the family, and be as sured of my constant attachment & re spect. TH. JEFFERSON. WOODARD, CLARKE & CO. OUR LOCAL DRUGGISTS Say That the Wonderful Popularity of Vinol Is Due to Intrinsic Merit. "The intrinsic merit of this new cod liver oil preparation, Vinol," said Mr. Clarke, of Woodard, Clarke & Co., "is beginning to be realized by the people of Portland. Of course, in my position as a druggist I have, seen innumerable medicines and proprietary articles in troduced, but never in my lonsr exnerl- ence have I ever known -or heardpjf a. meulclne that would produce' more! ben eficial results than VlnoL T attribute this to the' fact that Vinol contains in a concentrated form all the medicinal elements contained in cod liver oil, actually taken from fresh cods' livers, but without a drop of oil or grease to nauseate and upset the stomach, and It contains no sickening drugs. "A prominent physician whites: 'Vi nol is the most valuable preparation of cod liver oil known to medicine. It is of untold value to create strength and build up the general system fon old people, weak women and children,' and It has no equal for hard colds, bronchial and all lung- affections.' "In cases where cod liver oil, emul sions and other tonics fail, Vinol will heal, strengthen and cure. "There are hundreds of people right here in Portland who can testify that there is nothing equal to Vinol to mako rich, red blood, to Increase the appe tite, cure stomach troubles, give strength and renewed vitality to the aged, build up the run-down, tired' "and debilitated, make the weak strong; cure chronic coughs, colds and build up the convalescent. "We freely offer to return your money in every case where Vinol fails. Try It on this guarantee." Woodard, Clarke & Co.. Druggists.
