OUTLOOK MOST BRILLIANT hecretarles Garfield and Wilson Give Strong Reasons for Their Prediction of Taft's Election. May Get Oklahoma. CHICAGO. Oct. 3. (Special.) R puhllean National headquarters were elated tonight at the close of Chi cago's first registration day. The ng nrri all have a rosy Republican hue. In past elections the enrollment haa been a trustworthy prospectus of what was to be the product of the subse quent election and the Republican man agers are confident that this year will not proe an exception to the rule. Some of the gains in Republican Ward and some of the losses In Demo eratlc wards were more than surpris ing. They were startling. When a heavy Republican ward gains over 2000 above the first day's registra tion of 1904. the banner Roosevelt year, and when a heavy Democratic ward loses over 2000. the facts have a legiti mate political significance which cannot be explained away by theories or by a shifting population. Examples of Gain 'and Losses. Some of the conspicuous examples of this may be shown as follows: Republican wards gain: Imh ward 13J tt.venth ward 192 Twemy-flfth ward Twenty-nlxth ward 1KK T .nty.pev.nth ward Tblrty-iM-cnnd ward irt.M TMrty-nrth ward reroorratlc wards loss.

Klahteenth ward irsfij Nineteenth ward 1327 The total registration for the day was 268.317 In the Chicago wards, as against a registration of 262.875 for the fl'st day's registration of 1904. and of 307.304 for the first day of J904.

"We are having our usual crop of scares, but the Republicans are getting their fighting clothes on and are Intent on upholding the full party strength In November. That Is all they will have to do to win." "All talk about Republican trouble In Ohio Is moonshine.' said Secretary Gar field. "The Republicans are wide awake there and there is no sign of factionai discord. There is nothing in the situa tion there that presents any unusually disquieting feature whatever. "Likewise In Indiana the Republican party is in excellent shape." Secretary Wilson said that the Ameri can farmers pretty generally remember the conditions that prevailed from IR'3 to 1p"?7. and want no repetition of them. Farmer Strongly for Taft.

"Arp eclating as he does the difference between the prices of his products now and front "93 to "97. does any person suppose that the American farmer is going to commit commercial suicide?" tt II Andrews, auditor of the I'nlted Ststes Treasury, stopped at headquarters long enough to say that New York Demo crats rely upon the West to elect Bryan. Frank II. Lathrop, manngcr of the Republican campaign In Alnhama said: "Few business men in Alabama want to see Hryan elected. Just as soon as the people become convinced that Taft will be elected, they will rush to get Into the band wagon. North Alabama and Jllddle and Kast Tennessee now are Re publican. " The Republican managers are exceedingly hopeful about the chances of Oklahoma going Republican. Wt J. Irummond. editor of the Oklahoma Dally Eagle, of Enid, who called at head quarters during the day. said: "Stranger things could happen than that the new state will cast Its Presiden tial vote for Taft and Republicanism."

Basle, was put out of the race by a mis hap. Almost from the start the Renault car had been a contender for first honors, being on equal terms and sometimes ahead of car No. , which during the closing v.., nt the race was B0 miles ahead of the other racers. With victory apparently assured by the mishap WM). J, iescauii., who had succeeded Robertson as driver of the Simplex No. . slackened speed and drove his car carefully so as to avoid mishap. W inner Killed Policeman. It was the Simplex that was responsi ble for the death of Thomas Fickett, the special policeman who was run down last o. v,a wm txvtng to drive some boys off the track and It was Impossible for the crowd to forget this Incident as uie oim plex spun along In the lead. Pickett died today In the hospital. After the Renault was knocked out of the race, chief interest was as to which car would get second place. The struggle for this honor was between No. 2 a Losier. and No. 3. a -Thomas car. "Roberts, driver of the Thomas, kept the spectators in a state of ex citement by his daring driving. He took the Thomas around the mile track -at the rate of 60 miles an hour, but unfortunately for him, his car was followed by persistent bad luck, the motors working poorly and the "shoes" repeatedly getting out of order. One Racer Turns Turtle. In the last half of the 23d hour the ill-fated Zust car. driven by Gratjen. dashed through the outer fence and turned turtle. Gratjen's partner sus- Iff Kj Pv 15- Hart Schutacr & Mane tained a fracture of a leg and possibly Internal Injuries. Gratjen escaped with slight injuries. The Simplex was given an ovation when it darted by the grandstand on the 1000th lap of the race, having made a new record for the 1000 miles. It covered the 1000 miles in 20 hours, 9 minutes. 45 seconds, the best previous record for the same performance hav ing been 97- miles. The hourly scores showed that the foreign-made automobiles had been gradually eliminated from the race until the final struggle was left en tirely to the American-made cars. Piling Vp of Machines. In the third hour a plling-up of racing machines going better than 65 miles an hour was everted as by a miracle, four cars grouped closely together being thrown Into confusion by the crossing directly In their path of M. G. Fickett, special patrol officer. Three of the cans managed to avoid the dodging figure, but Robertson smashed into him with fearful force and threw him 60 feet. He was picked up unconscious, and died at a hos pital. All the other Injured are drivers and mechanics on the racing cars. . None of them Is seriously hurt. The mishaps crowded fast upon one another through the French car No. 4 catching fire in the seventh hour, and the Italian entry. No. 15, crashing into the fence soon afterward, retiring both for the remainder of the contest. No. 4, which had been smashed in the mlxup resulting from the running down of Fickett. remained off the track 'six hours undergoing repairs, but re-entered the contest In the ninth hour. The Italian entry, driven by De Palma, and the American car, driven by Chervelet, were next to come to grief, the former crack ing two cylinders and the latter freezing Its be&rlnss. The Italian car retired In the eighth hour and the American car In the seventh. The fourth hour, however, the American entry. No. 9, had been sufficiently repaired to re-enter the con test, but was forced to retire again after going only three miles. Both the driver and mechanic of Car No. 7 escaped with bruises when it overturned. The accident was caused by the explosion or a front tire. The car was hopelessly wrecked, its rear wheel broken, and the driving gear and frame twisted. At the conclusion of the 12th hour the track was cleared to permit of repairs being made on the turns, which had been badly cut up. French Car Takes Fire.

No. 1, driven by Julian Loch, In the 24-hour race, caught Are as it rounded the southeast turn and ran Into the inside fence, the mechanician being unable to steer it. the flames blind ing him and inflicting severe bums. Less than three minutes afterward the Italian car, driven by Gratjen. burst a tire at the same turn a few feet from where the French car had come to grief, and was hurled into the outer rail, both driver and mechanician being hurled over 20 feet In the air. Gratjen's hand and arm were badly lacerated ana oruinea. . i fmcinmil. The Ital- dui no uuikd " " ' v- , .

From stories told by some of the drivers who witnessed tne acnoem muui the driver, had an escape from death that was almost miraculous. When his car, ablare and going ai a ou-iuua v overturned, he was caught under it and held there. A blow of the drive wheel against his chin knocked him uncon scious, and had It not been for the driver and mechanic of No. 15, who stopped their ear and jumped out to pull htm from under the blazing wreck, he must have been burned to death.
