Judge Taft predicted today a great and

"I have lust coma out of New York
atate with the conviction that tomorrow
will bring with It a republican majority
which Will not only give the electoral vote
to hie, but will elect Governor Hugliea by
a round majority," aald Judge Taft.
"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

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

Not a single state was omitted. Today

Hanhe and Taft. .
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

cem bound to be broken on both aides

much of this talk about Bryan money and
democratic confidence. I do not care to
give you the names of the men who mada
the bet."
The fact la that Taft money went bogging
all day yesterday. Down at the Merchants

The Nebraska railroads have shown their
hands and are out against Sheldon.
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.

LEAGUE SC0RES CARR'S ACT
Former Becre-tary of United Civic
League Had Stationery Printed
for Latter.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Nov. 2. (Special Telegram.)
Dr. E. Arthur Carr, deposed secretary of
the United Civic league of Lincoln, who
sent out the slanderous letter about Judge
Taft on the letter head of the league, ha
not only been branded by the league offi
cers for the outrage, but It ha been proven
true that he had th letterhead printed
after having been fired from hi Job.
The original letterhead upon which his
name appeared aa secretary of th league
did not contain th union label and the
letterhead: - he sent out doe contain th
label. A comparison of th two letterheads
shaw jthat. different ouiamerrt .want need
and tn some case different type. Dr. Carr
today Is busy driving over Lincoln tacking
up Bryan pictures. He Is one of the head
leaders of th Bryan blowout scheduled for
tonight.
Following la the official statement Issued
by the president of the league:
l ,rre uwic: ine united civic league
has noticed that political letter have been
sent over the state, signed by E. A. Carr
as secretary, and printed on what pro ports
to be the letter heads of this league. The
league brands this letter and the use of the
league name In thla connection as an out
rage. E. A. Carr, is not the secretary or
an officer of the United Civic league. The
letter paper used by him In which the
league name la used. Is a printed forgery.
Last February, In the midst of the city
campaign, chargea from many directions
were brought .against E. A. Carr as an
officer of the league. These chargea were
too grave to be Ignored, and the league
found It necesasry to reorganise and drop
Mr. Carr.
"The printing and us of letter paper
carrying the name of the league by Mr.
Carr, Is. a serious matter, which will be
taken up by the directors of the organisa
tion at the earliest possible moment.

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
