ern states, with their electoral votes,
namely:
Virginia 12'Alabam
Norlli Carolina... 1 2M ississippl
South Carolina... O'l.oulslana .
Klorlda tV Arkansas .
Georgia 14:Teas ....
Total .. 114
Here are 114 out of a total of 531
electoral votes which Cox is abso
lutely sure to start out with. Occa
sionally the republicans talk about
carrying North Carolina, but there
is nothing to it. The republicans
talked the same way in 1908, when
Taft was running, and in that year
did come within 22,000 of carrying
the state. They are not likely to
do any better than that this year.
Cox will get all these states and
all these 114 electoral votes positive
ly. This 114 votes is Cox's minimum
figure.
One other state Cox is almost
equally sure to get. Tennessee has
always been classed with the ten
already named as a southern state
and surely democratic. I think it is
probably so this year, but I am
treating it separately merely be
cause the republicans are claiming
that they can carry it.
Tennessee Probably for Cox.
This republican claim is not mere
campaign "big talk," but is based
on an intelligent survey of condi- I
tions and intensive work. Never
theless, I do not think they will
carry Tennessee. It is true, I have
seen the bct kind of evidence that
a good many business men in
Tennessee want a republican victory
iind are willing to help toward it.
But this business men's vote is
hardly large enough to be a decisive
factor. Moreover, the republican
workers in the enthusiasm of their
new found hope to do an unpre
cedented thing were rather exces
sively zealous in getting the negro
women to register. The result has
been to create a reaction and to
stiffen up the white democratic
opposition.
Women's Votes Factor.
The republicans still believe that
if the white women voters of the
eastern part of the state, which is
the part where republicans are
strongest, go to the polls and vote,
they will win. The people of the
eastern part of the state, largely
mountaineers, don't believe in women
folks voting, and they have been
hesitant about going to the polls.
am
x 1
If the republican workers can
succeed in getting these women to
the polls they will undoubtedly
make a better showing than the
republican party has ever before
made in Tennessee. Nevertheless,
I don't think the republicans will
carry that state.
Let us, therefore, add Tennessee's
12 votes to the 114 we have already

CHICAGO. Oct. 29. Carl O. Wan
derer, former army lieutenant, was
found guilty by a jury late today of
the murder of hit young wife, their
unborn child and a "r.gged stranger"
and sentenced to 25 years in the peni
tentiary. The jury 'reached its ver
dict after 22 hours and 10 minutes'
deliberation.
While he was waiting for the ver
dict to be read Wanderer showed the
first signs of emotion he has dis
played during the 26 days of his trial.
Me was plainly nervous, but as the
sentence, which Prosecutor O'Brien
later denounced as a "travesty on
justice," w: read, a smile broke over
his face and he recovered his com
posure. Mrs. Wanderer was slain on the
night of June 21, at the entrance to
her flat when net husband engaged
in what was at first thought to be a
fight in the dark with an unidentified
man, who was killed. Wanderer at
first said that the stranger had tried
to hold him up, but after his arrest
made a confession, which be repudi
ated at his trial, in which he declared
that he had hired the "poor fool" to
stage a mock holdup so that he could
get rid of his wife and return to the
army.
On the witness stand he testified
that this confession was obtained
from him by physical violence and
his attorneys introduced evidence to
show that he was insane.

WASHINGTON. D. C, Oct. 29.
(Special.) The 96 members of the
present senate are divided as follows:
Republicans ......................... 49
Democrats .......................... 47
(Nominally this gives the repub
licans a majority of two in the pres
ent senate: in fact, however, one of
the republican senators is Newberry
of Michigan, who does not vote pend
ing the result of an appeal to the
higher courts on his conviction for
obtaining his seat through the im
proper use of money: another is La
Follette, who is as apt to vote with
the democrats as with the repub-
licans. In truth, therefore, in the
senate as it now stands the repub
licans have a very dubious majority
of one, which, as often as not, when
La Follette votes with the democrats
is turned into a democratic majority
of one. Morever, one .or two other
republican senators, ' like Johnson of
California and Norris of Nebraska, are
not very dependable to make a re
publican majority in a crisis.)
Of these 9G senators, the terms Of
34 end with the present session, and
their seats are to be filled at the
coming election. (Ordinarily, only
32 senators, one-third of the entire
membership, are elected: but this
year there are in addition two sen
ators temporarily filling unexpired
terms Carter Glass of Virginia and
Comer of Alabama.) Omitting these
34 there remain 62 hold-over sena
tors. These 62 are divided as fol
lows.

HALIFAX. N. S.. Oct. 29. An un
official and unexpected test of the
Canadian and American entrants in
the international fishermen's regatta
beginning tomorrow came this after
noon when the Nova Scotian schooner
Delawanna, on her way to Halifax
from Lunenburg, met the Gloucester
boat, Esperanto, while the latter was
engaged in a trial run.
The wiad was light, seven to eight
knots, from the south, when Dela
wanna, running free, encountered
Esperanto beating out to the outer
mark. The conse sus wf opinion of
shore observers who watched the
racers was that there was little to
choose between the two. Those who
saw Delawanna close-hauled prior to
rounding Chebucto head and Esper
anto on her thrash to the lights!: P
said that the Canadian craft was
pointing just as high as the Ameri
can and, so far as they could observe,
was footing just as fast.
United States destroyer 134. which
has been placed at the disposal of the
race committee for the regatta, en
tered the harbor at 3:30 P. M. The
"gallery" has assembled and every
thing is set for the starting gun at 9
A. M. tomorrow.
When the Lunenburg fishing
schooner Delawanna led nine of the
best Nova Scotian craft acros3 the
finish line on October 11, weathering
squalls that carried away some of the
rigging of its two closest rivals, blue
nose fisher folk thought they had a
boat and a skipper that could turn the
trick Sir Thomas Lipton and all his
Shamrocks had failed to accomplish
beat the Yankees on the seas.
The challenge issued to the Cape
Cod seafarers, their only real rivals,
caused consternation. Most of the
craft that ply out of Gloucester are
auxiliary schooners. There are a few
of the old-timers left. But the Gorton
Pew fisheries had a boat they thought
coull uphold Gloucester traditions, a
captain to pilot her the Esperanto,
and Marty Welch. So Benjamin
Smith, for the Esperanto's owners, ac
cepted the challenge. The best two
out of three races, to be held off Bali
fax harbor starting tomorrow, will
bring together two little craft which
have proved their worth in all kinds
of weather, manned by the picked
men who have braved the terrors of
the stormy Atlantic since childhood.
Captain Tom Himmelman of Lunen
burg, the home po.t of the Canadian
challenger, with a crew composed
mostly of captains and with Captain
Roger Conrod as mate, will pit his
knowledge of wind, wave and eail
against that of Marty Welch, who
also was born in Digby county. Nova
Scotia, but who will handle the Es
peranto. The captains and owners of both
boats are reticent but confident. Sail
ing to Halifax this morning from Lu
nenburg, where she has been care
fully overhauled and stripped for the
race, the Delawanna repeated her
victory over the runner-up in the

PARTS, Oct. 29. Never before in
the history of American politics has
the French nation taken so deep an
interest in an American election, nor
has the French press given it so much
publicity. During the last few weeks
the newspapers have discussed at
length the chances of both candidates
and the effect the result of the elec
tion will have on future American
relations. As election day draws near
most of the newspapers carry col
umns of comment, as well as a large
amount of cabled matter. They pub
lish photographs of Senator Harding
on his front porch and Governor Cox
speaking from the rear platform of
his train.
The Figaro today devoted a column
to an article on the probable effect
of the women's vote on the election.
Tbe Echo de Paris printed a long
cable despatch from its Washington
correspondent giving Senator Hard
ing's comment on the recent inter
view given by Leon Bourgeois, presi
dent of the council of the league of
nations, on article 10 of the league
covenant.
All the newspapers referred to
President Wilson speech of yester
day, none of them adopting a partisan
attitude, but expressing regret at
the president's physical breakdown
and satisfaction that he retains all
his mental faculties.

lision. The City of Atlanta struck squarely

FLAGS AT HALF MAST
Mourners, After Refusing to Go on
Packet Rathmore, Reach City
at About 7 P. M.
CORK, Oct. 29. (By the Associated
Press.) The body ot Terence Mac
Swiney, late lord mayor of this city,
arrived here on board an admiralty
tug at 4 o'clock this afternoon. The
tug, the flag of which was flown at
half mast, docked at the customs
house quay. Enormous crowds lined
the opposite quays and the nearby
bridges.
The government authorities In Cork
immediately notified Deputy Lord
Mayor O'Callaghan and the bishop of
Cork that no military display would
be permitted at the funeral of Mac
Swiney and that neither drilling, uni
forms nor republican army badges
would be allowed.
The only Irish republican flag in tho
procession, 't was stated, must be
placed on the coffin and the pro
cession ' must not exceed a quarter
of a mile in length. Troops w'll line
the route to see that these regula
tions are obeyed.
Mourners Met at Station.
The funeral party, which refused to
board the packet Rathmore at Holy
head, arrived in Cork shortly before
7 P. M. The mourners were accom
panied by Arthur Griffith, founder of
the S'nn Fein, and Count Plunkett, a
well-known Sinn Feiner and member
of parliament for North Roscommon.
A delegation from the city council
met the mourners at the station.
Later the councilmen went into
consultation with MacSwiney's rela
tives and Mr. Griffith and Count
Plunkett at the city halL The be
lief was expressed that the relatives
were inclined to leave the disposal
of the body of the late lord mayor to
the government to do with as It
might see fit.
During the conference, the coffin
was transferred from the tug to the
dock and the tug departed for
Queenstown. For several hours
doubt prevailed as to whether the
body would be claimed or left with
the military.
Volunteers Claim Body.
After a prolonged conference in the
city hall, however, it was decided to
claim it, and tonight a company of
Irish volunteers and relatives went
to the dock and took formal posses
sion of the coffin. A huge crowd was
present.
Immediately afterward, the coffin
was removed to the city hall where
It will lie in state until the funeral
on Sunday. There was an impressive
scene as the body was borne into the
city hall.
