SUPPORT PRESIDENT 8COTCH POET. Battle Cry of the Republicans and Necessitates the Power of Administration. REPUBLICANS ARE CONFIDENT Hearst's support to win. Here, In New York, the red fire will not cease to bum until dawn of Tues day, when the white heat of battle will take Its place. Perhaps the most notable feature of the campaign In all its ramifications has been to the extent in which the personality - of President Roosevelt has been brought forward. "Support the President," was the battle cry of the Republicans In every congressional district "We can support him better than you," was the defiant answer of some of the leaders. President Roosevelt bag made it known that he wants a Re publican congress. All but two of his cabinet officers have taken the stump to further this desire. The President will vote at Oyster Bay Tuesday. He will reach the White House In the evening and receive returns. JOINT 8TATEHOOD.

Car Attacked by Striker and Crowd Fired Upon by Detectives, Hitting On Man Th Detective Ar Arrstd. area of hlh pressure In the political atmosphere The expert prognostics - tors have stopped analysing local con ditions. They have made their final claim covering the whole area, and are sitting tight and waiting for Tues day. The Republicans claim, emulat ing from the headquarters of the Re publican committee in New York, is tn tha AffAct that thn Pontih1tana n-fll MOD 01 I WO I nOUSana UiaUfFers have a majority of 58 In the next house of representatives. An analy sis of this claim is as follows: Sure Republican districts, 222 sure Demo cratic, 190 doubtful, but probably Re publican, 21 doubtful, but probably DETECTIVES SHOOT STRIKER Democratic, 13. xne Democratic congressional cam paign committee from their headquar ters in Washington, has figured out 67 Democratic gain over its present representation in the house. Chair man James M. Griggs thinks this claim rather conservative and is quoted as saying: "The claim of a Democratic gain in New York Is safe." The Dem ocratic committee claim a gain of one congressman from each in the states of Massachusetts, North Carolina, Kentucky, Montana, Delaware, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Idaho and Vir ginia, and there seems to be no doubt but this claim is good. The claim of six In Pennsylvania is too conserva tive. The same may be said of six In Illinois. We will gain eight in Missouri, sure said Chairman Griggs. The Republican concede to us five in Ohio, but we -will do better than that, The computation that puts us down for a gain of only one in Indiana is erroneous. We can safely count on a gain of three in New Jersey, while gains will be made in California, Ne braska and Iowa. Should the Democrats gain 67, which, seems probable tonight, that party will have a majority of 22 in the Sixtieth congress. While from a national standpoint, the congresslon' al election Is regarded emphatically Important, in some localities it has been thrown entirely in the back' groud by state politics. Twenty-three states elect governors; twenty elect Leteislatuies; ten choose minor of flcers or Justices of the supreme court Oklahoma will pass upon her state Indication That Arizona and Nw Mexico Will Vote Affirmatively. ALBUQUERQUE, Nov.

No estimate can be given of the vote In Arizona, which will, probably be close. HARRIMAN WILL WIN. Will Probably Control Directorate of Illinois Central. CHICAGO, Nov. 3.
