Democrats.
"la the beginning of the campaign
the prospects for Democratic victory
looked so bright that we feared that It
wonld be only temporary. Ve congrat
ulate ourselTes that the revolt against
the Payne-Aldrich bill and the Republi
can management of Government has
grown each day since 11. e campaign be
gan, until now It has become so evi
dent that an overwhelming victory for
Democracy Is absolutely assured.'
-William B. MrKInley. chairman of
Republican Congressional Committee,
also Issued a formal statement today In
reference to Republican claims, but It
Is noteworthy that he declined to make
figures, contenting himself with the
statement that he expects the Republi
cans to control the next House by 'a
fair working majority.'
McKlnlcy Predicts Majority.
"The text of Mr. MrKlnley's state
ment Is as follows:
Trom the best reports obtainable
from candidates on the Republican
ticket and others Interested in Repub
lican politics. I am confident that the
Republicans will control the Sixty-second
Congress by a f-iir working major
ity. The else of this majority In fact,
the outcome of this election will be
determined by the percentage of the
lU'puhlican vote of the country which
comes to the polls on the eighth of No
vember. " 'That the voters have taken hut a
slistft mterest In the pending political
cumpetKn Is evidenced by the small vote
ciitt at the primaries fur the Candidates
m the several tickets. This. It would
pcm. forecast tin extraordinarily ltsht
te at the polls, especially In the rural
district, where the farmers are enjoy
tr.jr sn unusual degree of prosperity.'
"Democratic success on Tuesday will
cue the party control In the House of
Cepreentatlve for the first time since
the Fifty-third Congress of 1V.tJ-S5. The
ihis5aj? by that Conxrees of the Wilson,
" tariff law resulted In the restoration of
the Republicans to power.
HlMory l4Rpea(e1.
"These occurrences gave rise to the
saying that a change in the political
complexion of Congress was certain to
follow a revision of the tariff. It prob
ably will b exemplified once more for
the promise of Democratic victory finds
Us Inception In the Aldrtch tariff law
and the spilt which occurred In the Re
publican rarty as a result of that law.
"The Democrats are benefiting, not
so much from a testimonial to the'r su
perior capacity for statesmanship, as
from a protest which the people appar
ently desire to register against the Re
publican party as dominated In the psst
by the reactionary element. The In
creased cost of living has made thou
sands of votes for the Democrats sim
ply because thousands of people are con
vinced that Its cause Is the tariff pro
tection of the trusts, as adroitly per
petuated In the Alrtrlch-Payne law by
the standst Republicans.
"Congressmen, as well as state offi
cer, already have been elected In Maine
and Vermont, but In all the other states
representatives In the lower House of
the National Jaw-making body will be
elected on Tuesday. State officers.
Jtidrjes of the Supreme Court. Railroad
Commissioners, etr.. will be chosen In
2 states and Governors and full state
tickets will be elected in :s of these.
CI Senators Indcclded.
"Members of the Legislatures will be
elected In all of the states and the chief
National Interest In these elections lies
In the choice that will be made of
t'nlted Plates Senators by these bodies
w:thtn the next year. The terms of 30
Senators expire March i next. Three
Senators already have been elected
those of Alabama. Maryland and Ver
mont. "The hottest state ticket fight Is that
n New York. In which the personality
.f Tneodore K.vwevclt. hit alms, ambi
;ions and potentiality for good or evil
-oastnute the all-absorbing question.
Tammany, Wall street and the reaction
ary element generally In both the Demo
cratic and Republican parties are strain
ing every nerve for the defeat of Stim
son. that thereby Roosevelt may be
gtven what they hope will be a political
death blow.
But Roosevelt is making a tremen
dously successful appeal to farmers,
clerks and city wage-earners generally,
an I he is far from a beaten man. Tho
most that can be said of the situation
Is that, according to present indications,
the outcime sill be close whichever way
It goes.

"Numerous proposed constitutional
amendments and unestlons of various
kinds are to be submitted In many of

an.f sale of Intoxicating, liquors will be

M'tutlng local option for the present
system of state-wide prohibition.
"Three states Oklahoma. South Da
kota and Washlnrton will vote directly
on the question of granting suffrage to
women, while In Oregon a proposed
amendment to the constitution grants to
aU taxpayers, regardless of sex, the right
of suffrage.
Oregon Ha Mom Issues.
"The largest number of questions to
be voted upon in any one state Is In
Oregon. There 1- Initiative and refer
endum measures will be upon the ballot
for approval or rejection. Included in
this number, besides the proposed suf
frage and prohibition amendments to
the Constitution. Is a bill proposed by
initiative petition amending the Oregon
primary law and extending Its pro
visions to Presidential nominations, al
lowing voters to designate their choice
for President and Vice-president, pro
viding for direct nomination of party
candidates for Presidential electors, for
lection by party voters of delegates to
their party national nominating con
ventions. "One of the suggested amendments
to the Oregon constitution proposed by
Initiative petition provides for verdicts
by three-fourths of a Jury in civil
rases. Another proposed amendment
increases the initiative and referendum
and recall powers of the people.
"Conservation of natural resource
will be passed upon by voter of Wis
consin in the shape of a proposed
amendment to the Constitution author
tains: the state to make annual appro
priation for acquiring, preserving and ;
developing water power and loresis oi
the state. In Minnesota a proposed
constitutional amendment authorises
the Legislature to exempt from taxa

REPUBLICAN GAINS f; v.CT

Indications
Will Lose
Seats
Are Democrats
Some of Their
in Congress.
CANNON NOT MADE ISSUE
Pledges to Crnmpacker for Speaker
Eliminate Question of Insurg
ency Kight Especially Hot
in Indianapolis.
INDIANAPOLIS. Nov. 5. (SpeclaD
The campaign Just coming to a close
has been especially active with refer
ence to the candidates for Congress.
The Indiana delegation now stands 11
to two in favor of the Democrats, and
it In expected the second, third and
fourth districts will return Democrats.
The men who are opposing the Demo
cratic nominees In these districts un
derstood when nominated that there
was no chance of election. In the
twelfth, however, where Judge Hanton
bas been nominated by Republicans,
the party Is making an aggresslva
campaign, and there is strong proba
bility of Hanton carrying the district,
which is normally Democratic.
The first and fifth districts, some
times Democratic and sometimes Re
publican, are debatable ground. In
the first. Frank R Posey Is the party
candidate. He is opposed by John W.
Boehne, ex-Mayor of Evansville and a
popular man arrong the Germans, who
are numerous in the district.
in the fifth Representative Moss is
again a candidate and Is opposed by
Frank J. Tilley. who is very popular
with the laboring men. being a coal
operator and a large employer of labor.
In both districts the chances somewhat
favor the Democrats.
Colored Vote Holds Balance.
The seventh district comprises the
County of Marlon, which contains In
dianapolis, and here a battle royal is
on between the two parties. There
are about TOOO colored voters in tbe
district, and these hold the balance of
power. Representative Korbly is the
Democratic and Linton A. Cox the Re
publican nominee. Both are young
lawyers. Indications now are that Cox
will be elected.
The eighth district has sent John A.
M. Adair to Congress for two terms,
although It is normally Republican by
6000 votes. Adair's election being due
to bitter factional fights. The Repub-'
licans have nominated Rollin Warner,
of Muncle, and he Is making an earnest
canvass. He was not Identified with
either the Cromer or the antl-Cromer
faction and the party Is In better shape
than at any time In six years. This
would Indicate the Republicans have
an excellent chance to redeem the dis
trict, but Adair Is very popular and
old-time Republican majorities are out
of the question.
Republicans Are Reunited.
The Democrats are claiming the
ninth, tenth, eleventh and thirteenth
districts, but with the exception of the
tenth they are all normally Republican,
and It will not be a surprise if the
Democrats fall short of their claims at
the election. The Republicans appar
ently are reunited and are claiming the
four districts with as much confidence
and with quite as good reason as are
the Democrats.
The question of "progressive" insur
gent has not entered into the Congres
sional campaigns to any great extent
and all the Republican nominees are
pledged to Judge Crumpacker for the
Speakership as against Joseph G. Can
non. This pledge has taken Cannon en
tirely out of the Congressional cam
paign In Indiana, and the Democrats, in
the face of the pledges given to Crum
packer, have been unable to get the
Sneaker's shadow over the Illinois
line.
Considering all the factors In the sit
uation, it is quite certain the Republi
cans will make gains in Congressmen,
hut it would be nothing more than a
guess t say how large these gains
will be.
