From Information received ! from all sections of the county, I feel safe In predicting that the presidet l will receive a majority of 350 when the count Is completed. There will be no defections in the democratic party and Wilson will receive many votes from the progressive faction of the republican party. I also feel sa'e in predicting that Oregon will be found In the Wilson column by a good margin." J. W. MALONEY, Chairman Democratic Central Com BOTH PARIS CONFIDENTLY RETURNS Election is Conceded to Rest Probably on Illinois. New York, Indiana and Ohio. 1 CANDIDATES ARE OPTIMISTIC Hughes Admits Wit-on WUI Ourr; Solid south Democrata Dedaro Hughes Will Have Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Rhode Is land,.

He plans to vote early 4 NEW Y6RK, Nov. I Hughes con cedes that Wilson will carry the solid south. The democrats concede that Hughes will carry Maine, New Hamp shire. Vermont, Rhode Island, pena- sylvanla and Iowa. The election ' probably depends on New York, Illi nois, Indiana and Ohio. There are eight hundred thousand new women voters in Illinois.
