THE MOBNISfG OKEGONIAN, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1901. VOTE TD IE BIG This Is the Outlook All HwGVer FAIR WEATHER PREDIGTED Controversy' Between Nomi nees Awakened Interest . PARKER A .DISAPPOINTMENT His Supporters Had Hoped He Could Produce Something to Back Up His Charges Against Presi dent Roosevelt. NEW YORK, Nov. 7 (Special.) The Herald today prints the following: "The outlook Is for a heavy vote throughout the United States. This will be particularly the case In New York. It will be true of New Jersey. Connecticut, "West Virginia and Indiana, where the chief brunt of conflict has been received and sustained. Reports from all over the United States reveal a great quickening of Interest "The Democratic theory has been that state Issues In nearly all the doubtful states would weaken the Republican or ganization as a whole, and if in the clos ing day Barker .could attract attention to himself and inspire confidence in his virility and sincerity, he would stand a good chance of winning. He has endeav ored to do this by his attacks on the trusts, on Cortelyou and President Roose velt. "Mr. Roosevelt's card to the public seemed to require that his political op ponents should become more explicit In their accusations, and Parker's speech on Saturday night was . a disappointment to those who expected specific charges. His statement, however, that he had expressly forbidden the -Democratic National Com mittee to accept contributions .from trusts was well received."

BOTH COUNT ON COLORADO. Democrats, However, Agree Roosevelt is Stronger Than His Ticket. DENVER. Nov. 7. Despite the tense feeling resulting from the sharp contest over the Governorship, indications point to a peaceable election throughout tho state, with the possible exception of Tel ler County, where Republicans and Dem ocrats accuse .each other of planning to provoke trouble. Largely attended meet ings were held tonight in the leading cit ies and towns, and enthusiasm on both sides reached a high pitch. Governor James H. Peabody made his final appeal for votes in Denver, and on the platform with him at rthe Coliseum was ex-Senator -Edward O. Wolcott, who made his first speech of the campaign. Indorsing all the Republican candidates. Alva Adams, Democratic candidate for Governor, closed tiis canvass with a speech at Central City, the Gilpin mining center. Neither side has modified its claim of sweeping victory. Democrats and Republicans alike agree that Roose vclt and Fairbanks, will get many more votes than the other Republican candi On application of the Democrats, tho Supreme Court late today appointed watchers for all precincts in Huerfano County and 14 precincts In El Paso Coun ty. An application for. watchers In Teller County wag denied oh the ground that both parties are properly represented on the election board there: At a conference of Democratic and Re publican- chairmen and officials of Teller County this morning an agreement was reached regarding the appointment of deputies and constables to serve at the polls tomorrow, -which, Jt is hoped, will avert, the danger of a. clash . between araed" forces in, tho Cripple District. Two Republican workers were- arrested ct Cripple Creek tonight on the charge of perjury, sworn to by a young man who, though under age, was registered. The asen arrested vouched for his qualifies tlon as a voter. . i- Mayor Shockey tonight issued a procla 'matloh ordering- all saloons and other (places -where liquor is sold to remain closed :from 6 o'clock Tuesday morning to the same hour ion, Wednesday morning. It is reported tonight that 100 or more members of the Western Federation of 'Xtaers nrtio have been absent from the (district, either through deportation or ..otherwise, returned to the district late to ajkht. They -were headed by ex-District Attorney Cole, a deportee himself. It is ferd that their presence in the district may lead to a conflict between the oppos ing elements. PREDICT BIG LEAD-IN OHIO. Republicans Hope-to-Exceed the Plu ralities of "McKinley Years." CINCINNATI, Nov. 7. The Republicans are confident that their organization in Ohio 'will secure unusual results, even ex ceeding pluralities in what were previous- called "the McKinley years." while the Democrats have no such organization as their opponents, they claim that there has been, during' the past two or three days, a whirlwind In their favor" that justifies their anticipation of a landslide that might make the state close and en able the Democrats to gain three "ur four Ohio Congressmen. They state that the vote has not boen out so fully In years as they expect It tomorrow. The Democrats also say they will be benefited by the reduction of the Populist vote and the. increase of the Socialist vote. They estimate that the former So cialist vote of 13,500 wllr be more' than doubled and come" largely from Republi can worklngmea. The Socialists have held more meetings in Ohio than all other parties combined. but their efforts have been confined to the larger cities, and will not affect doubtful Congressional districts, notably the Third, Twelfth and Fifteenth. As the larger cities in Ohio, with possibly two excep tions, are Republican strongholds, there may be some ground for the claim that the Socialist agitation will affect the Re publicans more than the Democrats. "While other localities are lacking In Interest, the contests in the Third, Twelfth and Fif teenth Congressional Districts and at Cleveland, on the county ticket, are among the most animated ever Known in the state; PENNSYLVANIA WILL DO WELL Republicans Are Sure of the Usual Large Majority. PHILADELPHIA,' Nov, 7. Pennsyl vania tomorrow will return the usual large Republican plurality for the Na tional and state tickets. With the excep tion of about half a dozen Congressional districts, the campaign just closed was the quietest in years. Republican man agers hope for a plurality for the Na tional and state ticket of from 300.000 to 325,000, of -which they figure Philadelphia will contribute 130,000 to 133,000. and Al legheny County. In which Pittsburg Is situated, about 60,000. The Democrats give no figures, but as sert that the Republican estimates are too high. Four years ago Philadelphia gave McKinley a plurality of 288,433. There Is only one state office to be voted for, that of Associate Justice of the Su preme Court. Ex-State A.ttorney-ien- eral John P. Elkln. Republican, is a can didate against Samuel Gustlne Thompson, Democrat, the present incumbent, who was appointed to the seat. The Republicans are confidently expect ing that the present Congressional dele gation of 29 Republicans and three Dem ocrats, will not be changed. The Demo crats expect to increase their number to four. Tho present Republican majority In tho Legislature on Joint ballot is 137, wnicn the Republicans say they expect to In crease. A United States Senator is Jo be elected to succeed F. c. Knox, wno was appointed to succeed the late Senator Quay. KANSAS FOR ROOSEVELT.

Hoch, the Republican nominee for Governor. A number of county rallies were held by both parties. Indications are favorable for an exceptionally large vote tomorrow. It Is generally conceded that the state will be carried by Roose' velL the Democrats making no claims regarding a National ticket. Republican campaign managers claim Roosevelt will carry the state by ltw.ooo plurality, ana the state ticket by TO.bOO. The Democrats say they will elect the State Treasurer by a plurality of 50.000 and Governor by lu.wo, Both claims arc supposed to do tne result of polls. A laree number will support tne nepuD llcan National ticket and the Democratic state ticket. Roosevelt's plurality will be very large. If the ballots voted by per sons desiring a mixed ticket are not sDollcd. According to tho new election law. the ballots are better arrangea ior voting straight tickets.

The National head quarters in this city were closed . to night, all of the officials having left for their homes.

DEEM INDIANA SAFE Republicans Count on 25,000 to 30,000 Majority. TAGGART HOPEFUL AS EVER Democratic Chairman Gives No Fig ures, but Says Parker Will Win Republicans Sure Legislature Will Not Be -Lost. INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 7. Unusual quiet prevails throughout Indiana on the eve of election. The Republican leaders re fuse to change their prediction that Roose velt and Fairbanks will carry Indiana by pluralities variously estimated at from 20.000 to 23,000. Democratic leaders con fidently assert their belief that Parker and Davis will be successful In Indiana, but refuse to give ilgures. The Democrats are also of th onlnlnn that John Kern, their Gubernatorial can didate, will run ahead of the National ticket; that there will be a great change In the complexion of Indiana's represen tation in Congress, and that the next Legislature, wrhlch. even If the Repub lican National ticket Is successful, will elect two United States Senators, will be Democratic. Republicans scoff at such opinions, con tending that the next Indiana Legislature will be overwhelmingly Republican, and that two Republican Congressmen from the Sixth and Twelfth Districts will be added to the present number of nine. J. Frank Hanly, Republican candidate for Governor, is sanguine In his expecta tion of election. He is of the opinion that his reported connection with legisla tion inimical to labor has not influenced his candidacy adversely. At Republican state headquarters it Is believed .that Mr. Hanly will poll a vote equal to that of the National ticket When asked tonight for a last word concerning the outlook. Democratic Na tional Chairman Taggart replied: "Indiana is reliably Democratic, and the vote will so show." Republican State Chairman- James J?. Goodrich sees a Republican majority of 20,000 and the re-election of a Republican Legislature. It is conceded that the prohibition vote in Indiana will be Increased this year, but this contingency Is not expected to give either the Republicans or Democrats an advantage. The Populist vote Is ex pected to exert less influence than pre viously. HARRY NEW HAS NO DOUBTS Republicans Will Get Indiana, Roose velt at Least 311 Votes. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Nov. 7. Harry S. New returned today from Republican Western headquarters at Chicago. He will vote' tomorrow and return immedi ately to Chicago, where he will receive the returns, la an Interview tonight he said: I honestly believe that we shall carry Indiana by a majority' that will equal, if not surpass, that of 1500. We shall elect the entire Republican state ticket and carry both branches of the State Legisla ture. We shall .certainly elect nine Con gressmen, and I am confident of electing two more. I think Gilbert has got Rob inson beaten in the Twelfth District. "I think that Roosevelt will have not fewer than 211 votes in the Electoral Col lege, and I shall not be surprised If he gets S20. He surely will carry Connecticut and New Jersey. Chairman Cortelyou has left Nevada out of his calculations as Republican state, but I am convinced Roosevelt will carry It. The chances are in our favor In New York,, If Parker ever had any chance, he destroyed it by his actions In the final hours of the cam paign. There never was any doubt that he would be beaten, but he let all of the wind out of his balloon when he made his bitter attack on President Roosevelt." MICHIGAN STRONG FOR HIM. Roosevelt is Expected to Pu! Through ' the Entire Tfcket. DETROIT. Nov. 7. Roosevelt and Fair banks will carry the state beyond doubt. It Is everywhere conceded, and the Weather Bureau's promise of fair weather for tomorrow should bring out one of the heaviest votes in the history of the rtate. Democratic State Chairman Wood said to night: ... ... "I am absolutely confident of the elec tion tomorrow of our state ticket. I also feel confident that we shall elect our can didates for Congress In both the First and Second Districts. That is all I care to say in the way of predictions." Equal confidence was expressed at the Republican Central Committee's office. where a complete Republican Congres sional delegation, of 12 members was claimed, as well as the election of the Re publican state ticket and a very large ma jority for Roosevelt and Fairbanks. Non partisan and careful observers predict tho election of the Republican state ticket by a small majority. NO DOUBT IN WISCONSIN. Fight Is on Governor, With Chances Favoring LaFollette. MILWAUKEE, Nov. 7. It is generally conceded that the Roosevelt and Fair banks electors will carry -the state by plurality of from 50,000-to 75,000. Chairman Connor, 'of the Republican State Central Committee, claims Governor LaFollette will have 75,000 :phiraltty. The Republicans claim six Congressmen with out doubt, and they have more than an even chance of electing four others, they say. Democratic Stato Chairman Warden claims George W. Peck will b& elected by 25,000 plurality, and that the Democrats will control the Legislature. Mr. Warden says tho ofutlook ls favorable for electing five or six Congressmen. The Legislature, which Is to elect Unlted'States Senator, will probably be so divided among the two Republican fac tions and the Democrats that none will have a majority. IOWANS PUT FIGURES UP. They Now Believe Roosevelt WlM'Gtt State by 125,000. DES MOINES, la., Nov. 7. Iowa Re publicans are Increasing their estimate of Roosevelt's plurality In this state. Instead of cutting it down on the eve of election day. Chairman R. H. S pence, of tho Re publican State Committee, today declared the Republican ticket would have a' plu rallty of at least 155,000. instead of 115.000. as has been estimated. The Democrats still Insist that the plurality will not be more than GO. 000. In the Second District the members are making a desperate fight to save the. only Democratic congressman In Iowa. While the result will be close, and A. F. Daw son, the Republican candidate, has made a notable campaign, the chances favor the re-election of Judge M. J. Wade, Demo crat, because of his previous plurality of' 1500. There seems no reason to doubt the election of the Republicans in the remain ing ten districts, 'RoeeveIt Wiif Get Wyoming. CHEYENNE. Wyo., Nov. 7. Although the Democratic Jeuiftrs confidently expct to ns&ke gains over their vote of four years and two years ago. It Is admitted by well-informed political observers that the Roosevelt and Fairbanks Electors will run ahead of the other Republican candi dates and will be elected.

Roosevelt's Majority in One District May Save the State. LOUISVILLE, Ky.. Nov. 7. Republic ans and Democrats agree that In three Congressional districts of Kentucky the contest will be close.

M. Holt's adversary Is J. V. Bennett. In these districts the fight has been waged desperately, but the Democrats claimed tonight that they -will be victorious. The Democratic State Committee ex pects a heavy Democratic vote from the First. Second, Fifth, Sixth and Seventh districts, while the Republicans look to the Tenth for a majority for Roosevelt so large as to carry the state. UTAH GIVEN TO ROOSEVELT. Republican State Leaders Expect to Make a Clean Sweep. SALT LAKE CITY, Nov. 7. The bitter est and hardest-fought campaign since Utah was admitted to statehood closed tonight with big rallies by the Republican and American parties in Salt Lake.

Democratic State Chair man Barringer claims the election of tho state ticket, and a majority in the Legis lature, which will elect a United States Senator.

At Republican headquarters, State Chair man Kenealey said: ''I am more confi dent tonight than at any time during the campaign that Roosevelt will carry the state by not less than 15,000 majority, and I would not be surprised to see 20.- 000 posted as the figures." He declined to give an estimate In fig ures on the state election, but said that Roberts, candidate for Governor, would poll a larger vote than Judge Robertson. GORMAN'S STORY UNTRUE. Bliss Says He Has Been Deceived, or Hopes Stray Shot May Hit. BALTIMORE, Nov. 7. The News of this city today sent to Cornelius N. Bliss, treasurer of the Republican National Committee, an inquiry as to whether he would reply to the charge 'made by Sen ator Gorman, in a speech on Saturday night, that Mr. Bliss and Secretary Root had met in. secret conference a number of trust magnate? about a month ago. Mr. Bliss has sent tho following answer to the News: "If Senator Gorman makes the state ment you quote.

S BOSTON, Nov. 7. The success of the Roosevelt electors In Massachusetts is conceded by the Democrats. The Demo crats claim the election of William L. Douglas for Governor. The influences which are expected to bring this about are Governor Bates' veto of an overtime labor bill, the Increases In the common wealth's debt and the sentiment In favor of a more pronounced form of Canadian reciprocity than has been put forward by the Republicans. Republicans concede the Ninth and Tenth Congressional districts to the Dem ocrats. The Democrats hope to win in the Third, Fifth and Eleventh Districts.

Secretary Kean, of the Democratic Central Committee, es timates Johnson's plurality at 26,000. There seems little doubt that the Nation al Republican ticket will be victorious. NEVADA IS CLOSE. Neither Side Gives Out Figures on the Presidential Vote. RENO, Nev., Nov. 7. The campaign which closed tonight has been conducted with much vigor by both of the leading parties, and local dissensions have added interest to the contest. There are four tickets in the field.

Outside of committee rooms, the general estimate Is that Roosevelt's majority will be over 40,000.
