Repub] ican Victory Forecast by Butler j on Eve of Election National Chairman Declare? G. O. P. Will Have 350 Out of 531 Electoral Votes. Chicago, Nov. 1.—Statement* pre , * dieting success in Tuesday's national election were Issued from republican tjat'onal headquarters tonight. ' Chairman William M. Butler of the national committee, said: : "I have been asked for a statement ■ giving my opinion as to the outcome | of the election. It is my belief that i Calvin Coolidge and Charles (J , llawes will be elected on Tuesday and [ that they will have more than 35C ' votes out of 531 in the electoral col , lege. The Issues are dear cut and I believe the country understands them thoroughly." Representative Will R. Wood ■chairman of the republican congress tonal committee issued this state ment: "We will elect not less than 248 re publican members of the next house of representatives: we may elect 265 In a total membership of 435 this will give us a margin of 30 to 47 over a bare majority. Making due allow ance for those who, though selected as republicans, cannot be counted on as true adherents to the republican faith, we will have a minimum of 31 votes more than can be mustered by the combined opposition, and If our most sanguine hopes are realized, we will lead the combined minority by 65. To Gain Strength. "These estimates are based upon returns which have been received from every congressional district In the country. These returns show, for instance, that in every state, save one, which now has republican repre sentation in the house, we will retain our present strength and we will make certain gains In at least 14 states and possibly In ns many as 22. "Based on our latest Information, we will hold our own in California, Connecticut, Colorado. Idaho, Illinois, • Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan. Missouri, Montana. Ne braska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Okla homa, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhpde Island, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyo ming. "In Connecticut we will gain one seat. In Illinois and Indiana, where the tide is running strongly our way, we will gain from one to three seats in each delegation, while In Missouri and New Jersey we will make a sure gain of two and probably three. In Ohio we will gain two seats and one •r two in Nebraska. Gain In Npw York. "We now have 21 republican con gressmen from New York. In the next house we will have at least 27 and possibly ns high ns 29. In Penn sylvania, where we have 30 repub lican congressmen now, we will have * at least 34 In the new house, and It is not unlikely at all that the repub licans will make a clean sweep In that state and elect all 36 congress men. West Virginia, the home of the democratic nominee for president, now has two republican congressmen. In the new congress we will surely have four and we may have as many as six. In fact, I think the higher ; figure the more likely of the two. We also stand to gain one member poch In Oregon, Washington, Mon ' tana and New Hampshire. In Dela ware. Nevada and New Mexico, hav ing one congressman each, our pros pects are very fair for electing repub licans to succeed democrats now sit ting. "In addition to the foregoing we have a fair prospect of gaining one /<eat each in Massachusetts, Michigan, < . Oklahoma, Rhode Island and Ten nessee. ..Summing up, we sre sure to hold 222 of the 225 seats we now have In the house and a minimum gain of 26 would give a total republican mem bership of 248. If we make the maxi mum gains, which are based upon conservative estimates, we will elect 265 republicans to the next house. Disregarding those who, while run ning as republicans, are at heart not in sympathy with republican ideas, we still have a safe working majority In the lower branch of congress and a house which will uphold the na tional administration." I . r Wcman Anarchist Tries Suicide in Church By I'nlirrsal Service. Paris, Nov. 1.—Mile. Germaine Berton, the youngest and most dangerous woman anarchist in France, attempted suicide in the Church of Notre Dame de Lourdes today.

A year ago Germaine shot and killed Marius Plateau, assislanl editor of the royaflst newspaper L'Action Francaise, but was ac quitted.

Sackett, chairman of the republican state committee, said reports received at headquarters pointed to a decided victory for the entire republican ticket.

Having no funds for the hiring of paid "workers” at the polls tomor row, the special library board com mittee engaged In furthering the in terests of the $50,000 north side branch library bond Issue has under taken the unique stunt of trying to sell the library bond issue idea to such workers as have already been paid to boost some individual or in dividuals. "You will not find many men or women who are not interested In books or libraries or reading ma terial in some form,” declared J. H. Mithen, chairman of the committee at Its last meeting, "and I fully be lieve that if we take our ‘vote yes' cards to the workers at the polls they will be glad to include them in their offerings to the voters.” Mithen explained that the commit tee has been campaigning with prac tically no funds, but that the support for the "very Important issue" has been practically unanimous. "We have not heard a single ob jection to the expansion of the Oma ha public library service," he said. "We are more afraid of apathy and failure to vote than we are of the vote itself.” Mithen. as chairman, will be but one of several of the public library board members who have agreed to go out on election day and distribute the single small card that represents their literature.

Bobby’s House is Occupied The happiest person In all the Green Forest was Bohby Coon as he head ed for his home in a certain hollow' tree. The ground was covered with snow, but it was deep enough to Bobby shivered a little a* he thought of it. bother Bobby in walking. He didn't like that snow, but not even snow could detract from his happiness. He was free once more and back In his beloved Green Forest. Wasn't this enough to make any one happy? He was free and he was as well as ever. There wasn't even a hint of lameness In that paw that had been caught in a tin can. Bobby drew long breaths of the fresh, clear air, and every breath made him tingle ail over. How good It was to smell the pine trees. Bobby stopped every few minutes just to do this. Had there been no snow on the ground Bobby might have wandered about a bit before going home. But he didn't like the snow, and so he made straight for the big hollow tree POLITICAL AI>\ KRTIHKMKNT. in which he had lived for a long time He was so fat that he couldn't have hurried even had there been no snow. Never at the coming of the first snow had he been quite so fat.1 You see, Farmer Brown's boy had g|i en Bobby all he could eat. He was quite ready to sleep through the cold est weather. He was all readv for winter. Never had he t een better pre pared for it. He was thinking of this as ho came to the font of his big. hollow tree. Before climbing it he sat down at the foot of It for a few moments. He was thinking of the very last time he had started to climb that tree. That had been several weeks liefnre, and he hadn't hern nble to climb. A little tin can had hern fast to one paw so that he couldn't use it. Without It lie couldn't climb. Bobby shivered a little as he thought of it. “My, that was dreadful!" thought Bobby. “I didn't think then that T ever w'ould climb this tree again. That was an awful night. I didn't have any hope at all. Yet here T atn as well as ever. My, It will seem good to ellmb onee more!" With this Bobhv started up the tree. He rllmhed up to the hole which was the entrance to his home. Then lie paused for a look around before going Inside. He knew- that it was likely to he some time before he would have another look around. Then "he put his head inside, intending to go right In and curl up in his bed But Bobby didn’t go right In. No. sir, he didn’t go right in. In fact, he pulled his head out In a hurry. His noae had told him that there was some one In that hollow tree. His home was occupied! Some one had decided that no one was living there and had taken possession of It. Who It was Bohby didn't know. All Bobby's happiness ended right there. He was filled tfith anger. This was his house. No one had any business in there. That was his bed down in there, and he wanted It. He wanted It right then. He meant to have It, too. Who ever was in there would have to get out. Bobby said so over and over to himself. But It was one thing to sa lt and another thing to make that stranger get out. You see there was n't room inside that hollow tree to fight.
