This wai the message with which
Taft ended the fight. The dose of
ibis campaign Jn this city - tonight
wai in magnitude and enthusiasm a
fitting climax to all tbat had gone
before. Six and a half houra Taft
pent in Youngstown were crowded
with political events, resplendent with
pomp and ahow of party organiza

and general abandon by the popu
lace which waa equal to the occasion.
Three speeches were required of
the candidate, preceding these he re
viewed an Immense parade miles in
length and composed of thousand
of uniformed marchers.
Judge Taft'a speech at Cleveland
was a repetition of his arguments to
show why there should be no change
in the policies of the government to
night as applied by the present ad
ministrate. In addition he took oc
casion to emphasize as he had done
throughout the day that notwith

should render air the "assistance Ait

throughout virtually every part of

on the go and if apathy should

Both have traveled many .thousand

Chairman Hitchcock declared to
day that late reports received from
the national committeemen and state
chairmen strengthen his faith in the
estimate of 325 electoral votes for
Taft. Before leaving for Buffalo,
Chairman Mack gave out a final
statement" claiming a victory for
Bryan.'He asserted that New York
would give the national ticket a
plurality ef J0.000 and Ohio and In
diana would surely go Democratic.
He declared that th party would
carry most of the Other doubtful
states and some states that have not
been claimed. He adheres to his
forecast of 333 for Bryan. Secretary
Loundslager adheres to the forecast
of the next house of representatives
wfcfeh was, Republicans 227, Demo
crats 164. The New-York state cam
paign was not ended until late to
night. Governor Hughes made ten
speeches in , Greater New York
his Democratic oononent. Lieuten
ant-Governor . Chanler, making a
'number in Duchess county. It is a
' puzzle as to the outcome of the state
j contest which apparently is no near

ginning of the campaign , and both
'sides are claiming the state by, over
whelming majorities. . ,

litical speech of the campaign and
his worda were given with more than
ordinary feeling. Hi per-oration
was delivered with all the earnest
ness at his command and as he do-
dared that be had given an impulse
to honest politics and helped to
create a sentiment in favor of reform
he was loudly applauded by the large
audience. In a speech Bryan ex
pressed confidence that the verdict
of the people would be his election.
The Deople, he declared, would not
be deceived by padded straw votes
published by newspapers by 4 the
shambles of Wall street or by panic
stricken Republican leaders. He laid
that the Republican candidate had
behind him an army of office hold
ers, trust magnates and most of the
leading newspapers and the enor
mous campaign fund which was so
tainted that he did not dare to let
the people know, where it comes from
until after they have voted. Bryan
says he has behind him an awakened
conscience of the country and the
sentiment in favor of popular govern-
men which demands the election of
a senator by the direct vote of the
people.
SALT LAKE, Oct. 31.-Both jar
ties claim the state tomorrow, the
Republicans by 20,000 and the Demo
crats by 5000. The fight for gover
norship and the contest in Salt Lake
county between the Republicans and
the American (Anti-Mormon) par
ties monopolize the interest and the
contest is enshrouded in doubt.
BUTTE, Nov. 2.-Probably : the
most significant feature of the 1 1th
hour of political affairs in Montana
is the greatly reduced claims of the
State Republican chairman. Tuesda.7
last he claimed Montana by from
8000 to 10.000. Today his estimate
places Taft'a plurality and that of
Donlan for governor at from 2000 to
5000. The democratic state chairman
claims the state by 10,000, on the na
tional ticket and 6000 on the state
ticket
DENVER, Nov. 2. Both the
Democratic and Republican state
chairman claim the state , for their
respective parties by 17,000 plurality
Both parties likewise claim three
congressmen and the legislature
which will elect the United States
Senator.
! RENO, Nov 2. While both par
ties are -claiming the state, the con
servative view is that it is probable
that Nevada will give Bryan her
three electoral votes and that New
landswill go" to the senate with the
fight close for; congressman. Much
doubt is felt about the rest of the
ticket""' .. .. ..' ' ''. 'v .

Bryan Makes His Last Political
I Speech at Marysville, Kas With
1 Much Feeling And Feels he Has
the People Behind Him.
LINCOLN, Nov. 2.-The greatest
demonstration in the history of Lin
coln ever given to Bryan hy his
fellow townsmen tonight on his re
turn home at the close of his cam
paign was non-partisan in character,
it was participated in by Democrats
and. Republicans alike, and when the
Democratic candidate was escorted
through the streets he was cheered
by , almost the entire population of
the city. A reception was tendered
him as a citizen of Lincoln rather
than a candidate and in his speech
he avoided all reference to partisan
issues, 'v'
At the hotel in Lincoln, from the
balcony, over-looking the public
square, Colonel Bryan made his ad
dress. It was greeted with cheers.
The candidate was moved to tears
when he made an affectionate refer
ence to his wife and when he closed
the demonstration accorded him was
such as he rarely had experienced in
his three campaigns. In his speech
he said he believed his was going to
be elected. He said that he believes
there is a moral awakening among
the American people and uprising
that means sweeping victory and "I
swear in your presence that no one
who votes for me will ever have occa
sion to be ashamed of the vots ho
casts." ' .
Included in his speech Bryan men
tioned unpleasant features of public ,
life which he said were in the minor-,
ity. He alluded to what his humilia-,
tion was at having it thrown up to
him that he" had never carried his
city, and his having been called in
derision, "Boy orator of the Platte," t
but he declared that from birth,
when he was bom into the keeping
of a ' good Christian father and -mother,
through college and in mar
tiage he had been the child of good ,
fortune. If, he said, he should be .
defeated, "I shall find my private life ,
so full of joy, that I shall not miss ,
the presidency."
