PORTLAND, Nov. 2. Al
though the Democrats are
claiming Oregon by over two
thousand, there seems to he lit
tle reason to the change of Re
publican estimate of some time
ago when it was claimed that
Taft would carry the state by
from 10,000 to 20,000.
By Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Nov. 2. With the
opening of the polls less than
twenty-four hours away, the lead
ers of the two great parties are giv
ing their attention to the last de
tails oft what has been one of tho
most interesting campaigns in many
years. Taft will speak this after
noon in Cleveland and tonight winds
up the fight for the presidency at
Youngstown, going thence to Cin
cinnati where he will vote tomorrow
morning. Bryan is touring north
eastern Kansas and will vote in Lin
coln tomorrow. .
There is no change today in the
announced estimates oX the opposing
national chairmen. Mr. Hitchcock
holding steadfastly to his forecast
of 325 votes for Taft and Mr. Mack
announcing himself as certain that
Bryan will receive 333 of the 4 S3
votes In the electoral college.
The Republican organization In
New York state is making the final
bid for votes "Below the Bronx" to
day. Governor Hughes expects to
deliver ten speeches in this city be
fore midnight. The local Republic
an leaders are working upon belief
that they will hold Bryan's majority
in Greater New York down to 80,000
and that Taft come to tho Bronk
with a plurality from up state coun
ties sufficient to overcome the Dem
ocratic vote in the city and leave a
margin of twenty thousand in Taft's
favor.
The Democrats claim Bryan will
have a sufficient majority in Greater
New York to more than offset even
an unusually heavy Republican vote
from the up state. They claim that
party unity prevails in every section
for the first time In a decade and
are depending upon the large labor
vote on Tuesday to gain their direc
tion. The result on the state ticket
remains in the balance and confident
claims of success are put forth by
both sides apparently based moro
upon hope than upon definite infor
mation. Political observers declare
there never has been a state elec
tion more difficult to forecast. So
many different phases and so many
varying elements enter into the state
campaign this year that party lines
seem bound to be broken on both
sides and the usual political means
of forecasting results are useless.
Tho best opinion is that the state is
in doubt and that only the counting
of votes can determine the result.

Bryan attacked the trusts and the
attitude of the Republicans In regard
to the support of Rockefeller. He
attacked the Republicans for their
attitude In the matter of campaign
contributions not being published
nnd charged that party with receiv
ing the support of trust magnates.
He said the administration has
deposited enougli money In Rockefeller's-
National City Bank without in
terest and -which is loaned out by
tho bank at such an Interest that the
returns to the bank would more than
finance a national campaign.
At Leavenworth, Kan., Bryan
said: "While Taft is trying to deny
the support of Rockefeller on the
one hand, he Is trying to claim the
support of Mitchell, Duncan, Morri
son -and -other labor leaders. And
now Gompers ma,de a speech in New
