'With a sensa tional and dramatic exchange of charges and replies between the candidates, one of the most remarkable Presidential cam paigns of recent times -was practically brought to a close tonight. It Is not ex pected that much more of importance will take place before the election, though a few belated meetings will bo held and some statements and claims may be is sued. The whirlwind finish predicted two months ago has been realized. The un usual feature of a candidate attacking his opponent in office and forcing him Into making a direct reply, followed by a re joinder from the candidate, is a novelty, and furnished the main topic of conversa tion where politics were discussed today. The appearance of Judge Parker on the public platform marked an epoch in the political campaign of 1904, for. up to that time. It had been apathetic In his speeches he has been growing more and more vigorous and more direct in his as sertions, to the elation of the Demo crats, who have clainored for more life and ginger In the canvass. The Republican canvass lacked interest, until Cabinet officers. Senators and men close to the President began making re plies to Judge Parker's charges, but their part In it was not antagonistic compared to the bomb exploded by Mr. Roosevelt In his statement printed today. Silence has- marked the management of the Republican campaign. But -one pro Sevater Jefca X. MMefceU. nouncement or claim has -been made by any of , the" Republican NaUoail. Com-" mlttee, and in . that nearly every debat able state was placed in the Republican column. It has been answered by the" Democratic managers with-a claim of the debatable states and a sure majority la the electoral collece. Wide Difference in Claims. Tomorrow is the promise of a summing UP by the two committees and a final es timate as to the result. The wide differ ence in the claims has furnished sufficient doubt to give followers of both candidates confident hopes of success and kept the Interest of partisans keen. TJp to "within three weeks of the elec tion the campaign was remarkable lor Its apathy and the seeming lack ot interest which the voters were taking in the can vass. There were many meetings, but as a rule they were not largely attend ed, nor did the people show the intense Interest that haB marked other campaigns. There has beea also an absence of tho monster meetings, all-day parades,theat rical display, noise and red -fire that have characterized the .closing days Of former, campaigns. The campaign started late. It was weeks after the National Committees had made up their working ferces before any great activity was displayed. More than. this, the early work of the committees consisted largely la distributing litera ture and efforts to ascertain the drift of public sentiment. The fact that neither candidate, one be cause he was in the Presidential chair, and the other because his judicial tem perament was antagonistic to the idea, made a great speechmaking tour of the country, is accountable to some extent for the apathy which was apparent in the earlier stages of the campaign. A pronounced flurry was caused last Sunday by the Brooklyn Eagle's poll. which indicated Parker's plurality in Greater New York as 1S2.220 and Her rick's in the same district as 180,072. These figures also give Parker 97,863 plurality in the state. Tomorrow the Eagle will issue the figures from its final polL The pa per will say: "The result given today is based upon data- gathered from' returned cards sent Indiscriminately to about 60,000 voters." The Eagle's New York figures give i total indicated Parker plurality la Great er New York of 1S0.071, and an Indicated Herrlck plurality in Greater New York of 233,919. The Eagle will also print forecast of the vote in New York State outside of the city, based on figures not gathered by the Eagle, nor according to its methods, but obtained from trust worthy sources. This indicates a Roose velt plurality of 102,127 above the. J3ronx. a Parker plurality of 177,643 below the Bronx, a Parker plurality of 76'42L in the state. The Herald tomorrow will say that the ul- r jooU indicate that Roosevelt win Have -a votes ana rsuTZtr iix in tea electoral college, with Colorado, Dela ware and Montana uncertain, but prob ably Republican, and Nevada uncertain. iu probably. Democratic New York State is. assigned, to neitKer party, but Js classed simply as uncertain. Connecticut, New Jersey,. "West Virginia and Indiana are placed in the Roosevelt column. All Eyes on New York. Interwoven closely with the Presidential canvass has been the campaign in New York State. For many years the pivotal state, the arbiter of political elections, the Empire State this year has been re garded as absolutely essential to the suc cess of one party, and has been believed to be necessary to the other bocauso of the impression that a public sentiment which will carry New York will carry the country. On this account, the eyes of the country have been turned toward New York. Its conventions and nomi nees, the strife amqng its leaders and the active work of all its politicians have attracted attention far greater than that warranted by Its ordinary importance or the merits of state Issues. In some lo calities the state fight overshadows the National contest, and tho latter is garded as the auxiliary Instead of the principal campaign. The same is true in some other states, and an interesting feature of the canvass la the oft-expressed belief that, whatever may be the result upon the Natlontal ticket Tuesday, in many states there will be a change in the state governments. State Issues have been put forward most prominently in New York, New Jersey, "West Virginia and Wisconsin, which were, classed as doubtful on the Fresl dency. The Issues upon which the campaign. has been fought have changed. The per sonal(ty of the President and his public acts, the policy of the Republican party on the several questions before the peo ple, formed the basis of Democratic at tack and Republican defense. The money issue of 1S9S and 1900 did not appear. though the tariff has figured to some ex tent, but the all-absorbing question, and the one which made a whirlwind finish possible, was the statement of the Demo cratic candidate regarding- the trusts and corporations and his continued as -(Concluded os Secondpjie.) PAR KER IN REPLY He Declares Roosevelt HasJfotMet issue. DENIES HE CRITICISED HIM Reference to Trusts Made With Idea of Promoting Reform. CORTELYOU AGAIN ATTACKED Candidate Declares It Is Not Denied Camblnes Have Contributed, and Issues Direct Statement to the President. . NEW YORK, Nov. 5. Judge Parker,- In a speech made at a reception given "to him by the Kings County Democratic Club in Brooklyn tonight, asserted that tho issue "whether the trusts can purchase the election," has not been met by President Roosevelt in his reply to Judge Parker's speech, made 12 days ago. After stating what his position has been in that speech. Judge Parker said tonight he had made no criticism of the President, but that he had simply called attention to the "no torious and offensive situation." Tho Judge said further ihat the President, after his attention had been called to the rela tions which might exist between Chair man Cortelyou and the trusts by reason of Mr. Cortelyou's former position as Secretary of the Department of Commerce and Labor, should have said: "I will join Parker in an efforts to pro tect the ballot of the honest citizen from being overridden by merchandise ballots." The assertion was- made by Judge Par ker that the contributions he charged Chairman Cortelyou had received from the trusts are not denied by the President's statement The Democratic candidate fol lowed this declaration with a statement direct to tho President personally to the effect that he (Parker) had issued a re quest at no money for campaign, pur poses. faouM b rcjclvdt directly or-In- an effort tQ accomplish reforms that are sorely, needed.

Day Given to Preparation of Answer. Judge Parker never had,a more enthu siastic audience than in Brooklyn tonight. He had not intended to make a speech tonight until the President Issued his statement defending the Administration from Judge Parker's charge. The Judge was engaged most of the day in prepar ing bis answer. He consulted with of ficials of the National Committee, who were in the city, and saw few other vis itors. He intended to leave the Hotel Seville for Brooklyn at 6 o'clock, but it was nearly 8 o'clock before he completed the first draft Of his reply to the Presi dent. He made the necessary revisions after reaching the club in Brooklyn, where dinner was" served. The courses were hurried through, and at 9 o'clock the (Concluded on Page JXhree.) CORTELYOU SAYS ROOSEVELT WILL HAVE NOT The Campaign Fund Has Been the Smallest In Twelve Years,, and Every Part Has Been Voluntarily Contributed. HEW YORK, Nov. 5. Chairman Cortelyou. cf the Republican National Committee, late- tonight issued the following statement: "To all Supporters of Roosevelt and Fairbanks: "The Presidential campaign has reached lta final stage, and the reports to the Republican National Committee from all parts of the country seem to be as complete as It is possible for ante-election reports to be. Upon these, and the information that the com mittee has been able to obtain, I am satisfied the Republican candidates for President and Vice-President wyi carry every Northern State, -with the possible exceptions of Maryland and Nevada, and will have not less than. 314 of the 476 votes in the Electoral College. ' "The campaign has been conducted with a much smaller fund than any Presidential campaign .for the past 12 years. The fond this year, although made up of contributions of more than 4000 persons, h& been about one-half -as -large as the Republican fund when President McKlnley was elected In 1800, and about one-halt as large as the Democratic fund when President Cleveland was elected, in 1S3 2. Every part of this fund has come from voluntary contributions mad without demand, importunity or pressure and without any agreement, pledge, promise, assurance, or understanding, expressed or Implied, regarding the policy or the action of the Adminis tration, or looking to any benefit or advantage to any contributor except the benefit which will come- to all business 'and to all our people from the continuance ot Republican policies.

Even if prohibition snail do qc feated in a given county, it will win many precincts. In Multnomah a number of wecincts In the eastern' part of the coun- lngl Elections will be held as follows: For county prohibition Benton, Clack amas, Columbia, coos, jurry, jjougi&s.

The, majority given. one-way or the other by these precincts will be counted for or against prohibition. The, petition for the subdivision was the first one. filed before that for the county. Many who voted for local option last June oppose prohi bition, since, a vote for precinct prohibi tion is a vote for county prohibition. The general' sentiment is that a prohibition county would militate against immigration.- Washington County has thousands of acres of land covered with timber which will be developed only by the .Ger man and Swiss element. . Grant County. JOHN DAT. Or.. Nov. 5. (Special.) A vote on county prohibition and. on pro hibition for precincts of Canyon Mty, John Day and Bear Valley will be held. The- county petition -was presented by pro hibition forces and the subdivision by license men. The latter was a move to bead off & petition of the Prohibitionists. Including enough dry precincts to force the- measure on the towns of Prairie City, John Day, Canyon City and Dayville. The move was successful, and prohibition is certain -to be rejected in the subdivis ion as a whole. It will probably fail in .the county also, and only precincts that have no saloons are likely to adopt pro hibition. Jackson County. ASHLAND. Or., Nov. 5. (Special.) Two petitions have been filed, one for the entire county and the other for East Ash land and Baron precincts. A third peti tion embracing all three Ashland precincts and Barren precinct was Offered, but the County Clerk declined to receive It on the ground .that it affected a portion of the same territory already covered by a petition. The smaller subdivision peti tion was prepared by- the license people. -Ah -energetic campaign is. carried on by tka prohibitionists and they hope to .win the county.

What ' Oretron owes to President Roosevelt for hls help at a time of need, and what benefits may be expect ed from his election,-were the keynotes which rang through the addresses deliv ered at the final Republican rally of the campaign last evening-. The election of Theodore Roosevelt to the Presidency ot the United States was shown to be a matter of vital im portance to Oregon generally and to Portland particularly. H. W. Scott plainly declared that without the help of the President the efforts ot tne Lwis anrt Clark Exposition to obtain an ap propriation from Congress would have been fruitless. Mayor Williams roi lowed this sentiment further by saying that without this appropriation the Fair, the cherished hope of the city and state, would have been a miserable failure. "The only thing: left Is to count the ballots." said Senator Fulton. A 16t of sore palms must be scattered over the East Side this morning-. Nearly 1000 people crowded into Burkhard's Hall on East BUrnslde street to listen to the last effort of the Republican managers on the eve of election.
