"W all of ua recognise New York aa a pivotal atale, and I apeak advisedly when I aay that the republican ticket will pre vail there. "The democratic plurality In New York City will not be aufflclent to overcome the tremendous republican vota which will be rolled up In the rural district. "Tha Madison Square Garden meeting was regarded aa the climax of the cam paign, but In the meeting which I have held lnc there has been the same en- thuslaam, the same huge crowds and the tame firmly Implanted conviction that New fork will again go republican. "I am satisfied with the sltuat'on and 1 iwalt with confidence the election tomor tfw, for I am aa certain of victory aa a wan may well be of anything here below, There was bo change today In the announced 1 estimate of the oppos ing national chairman, Mr. Hitchcock of the republican committee holding stead' lastly to his forecast of FJ6 votes for Taft, and Mr. Mack of the democratic commit tee announcing himself as equally certain that Mr, Bryan will receive 333 of tb 483 vote In the electoral college.

Titty claim that p-trty unity prevails in every Motion of the state for the first time In a decade and are depending upon the labor Vote, they declare, to turn the tide In their direction.

Leader of both parties agree that Gov ernor Hughes will run behind Mr. Taft. but the republicans say that the difference will nut be so great to Imperil the gov ernor chance for rt-electlon. They base this claim partly upon the opposition to Governor Hughe which developed prior to hi nomination, to the unity of the demo cratic party, to the personal .popularity claimed for the democratic candidate up state, and to the historic fact that New York governor running for a second term usually receive a greatly reduced vote. There r so many different phases and so many varying elementa entering Into the tat campaign this year that pjrty line cem bound to be broken on both aides and the usual political means of forecast.

Two years ago It was known that the railroad favored 8hallenberger. The letter of Tom Allen, atate chairman, then na now, , begging the democratic press of the state to publish editorials favoring the railroad side of the fight for terminal tax atlon proved the tie-up. Governor Sheldon I wae then, as now, openly fighting for re- 35 moval of the affairs of the state from rail i road domination. ' He signed nil the reform 45 ' bills passed by the last legislature, none bo ; of which were especially relished by the i railroads and several very obnoxious to the 5 1 bosses. Among these were the law giving 67 ' life "to the. railway .commission; requiring , railroads to psy their taxes and at the El same time and In the same manner as ' other citizens; reducing freight rates; re ducing the rates charged by express com panies; the 2-cent fare law; the terminal tax4aw and other similar bills. It Is to laKe vengeance or trovernor eneioon ror these measures that the railroads are now fighting him. Monday a general alarm was aent to every. Burlington and Union Pacific station agent In Nebraska, ordering them to do ail that can be done for Shallenberger. Just how far this order will affect the result is not known.- The Railway Employes? association was already lined up for Shal lenberger, and It may not be that the general order will have much effect out side the employes.

Taft for the presi dency. In a single sentence this feeling of ex treme confidence I expressed by President Roosevelt, who In speaking of tbs hotly contested campaign of th republican against the democrats, declared: "We've got them beaten to a frarile." In administration circles there Is an equally strong feeling of. confidence for the success of the republican ticket. The probable weather throughout the country electlcn day was predicted today by Forecaster Carrot o . of the weather bureau : .

SPEECHES AT OTHER POINTS Day Renins with Address at Daaklrk, N. Y Jndce Taft Left for Cln rlnnatl Late at lht to Vote Today. YOCNGSTOWN. O., Nov. t-The last word of his campaign has been spoken by William Howard Taft and he la now speed ing to Cincinnati to cast his vote tomorrow. "Vote the republican ticket and preserve prosperity, protection ' to American Indus tries, business industry and the rights of labor." This was the message with which Mr. Taft finished his fight. The close of the campaign In this city tonight was, In magnitude and enthusiasm, a fitting climax to all that ha gone "before. The six and one-half hour Judge Taft spent In Youngstown werfj crowded with political events, resplendent with the pomp and show of party organisations and a carnival of hilarity, nols and general abandon by the populace to the occasion. Three speeches were required of the can didate at the Purk theater, the Grand Opera house and in the . public square. Preceding these he reviewed the parade, miles In length, composed of thousand of uniformed marchers. He was then the guest of the prominent republicans of the city at th Youngstown club, for a dinner. which wa served before the evening speech-making began. - Crowd and Enthusiasm Grow. The last day of the campaign of the candidate was remarkable In that there was an Increase, rather than a diminishing of the crowds and enthusiasm wherever he went. Beginning his work at Dunkirk, N. Y., this morning, he made addresses at Westfield. N. Y.; Erie, Pa.; Ashtabula, Garrettsville, Cleveland nd Youngstown. The Cleveland meeting was a monster af fair and was preceded by a parade which was reviewed by the candidate, who passed through the lines In an automobile with Mr. Taft. The meeting in the Cleveland armory wa presided over by A. L. Faulkner, president of the National Ordor of Window Glas Maker. . Judge Taft' speech here wa a repetition of hi argu ments to show why ther should be no change in the policies of government us applied by th present admlntstratloa, hi addition to which he took advantage' of the opportunity to -emphasise, a) nc lia.4 done throughout the day, that notwith standing opposition to mm and the re publican party by Samuel Gompers, he will. If elected, maintain his great sym pathy for and Interest In the welfare of organised and Unorganised labor, which he maintain hi previous record sustain. Stand by ' Decision. "I want to sty," he declared, "that it doe not make any difference how inucu Mr. Gompers may misrepresent my posi tion. It does not make any difference how much he misrepresents the position of tha supreme court of the United States I suppose I ought nut to feel hurt becauue I am running for office. If these gentle men had the putlence and Justice to read my decisions when I waa on the benoli and when I had not the slightest idea of ever yielding to the weakness of run ning for the presidency, they would have found that I hav not changed from the principles I stated then. I have not turned an lota from the principle I then estab lished and those principle and those principles alone are the bast upon whi-h trades unionism can flourish in this country." "The question of today," he added, "Is how far Mr. Gompers la able by deed of grant executed to transfer what he hat not got. Every attempt mad by inlsrep rt4fentatlon and otherwise a to the atti tude of the republican party ha been made to prejudice the wage earner of thla country against the party and Its candidal." Mitchell Telegram Garbled. In this connection It wa made known that Representative Burton had informa tion from Danl'il Keofe, prtsldent of Longshoremen's union, that the tel -gram published this morning from John Mitchell to Samuel Gompers, In which Mr. Mitchell declares hlmoclf In sympathy and accord with the policy of the American Federa tion of Luhor Is garbled, Inasmuch a It leave out two Important words, thei words being "nonpartisan political." The text of, the telegram, as it should have been published, was read a follow; CHICAGO. Oct. Sl.-Sumuel Gompers. Wastilugton, 1.
