Pottawattamie county will give Taft a majority of from 1.2U0 to 1,6.4). B. F. Carroll for governor will have a majority in this county of from 1.000 to 1,200. The legislative ticket will be elected by a majority of from 6o0 to i0u. The entire county ticket will he elected with majorities ranging anywhere from 000 to l.zuo. J. w.

Smith, halrnian republican county central com mittee. 1 have only got one thing to say and that Is I feel pretty sure of electing our legislative ticket. 1 also feel sure that we will elect at least half of our county ticket If not more. If we do not carry the county for Fred White for governor we will cer tainly cut down the republican msjority most materially. It would not surprise me one Mt to see Brysn csrry Potts watttmle county or Fred White as far ss thst goes. I believe the result of tomorrow's election will he snmewhst of a surprise to the te publlcans. Al Ienocker. chslrman of the democratic county central committee. Bis; Rally Tonight. The republicans1 will bring the campaign to a close tonight with a big rally at thf opera house at which Congressman Walter I. Smith and Hon. J. U. Sammls of LeMars, la., will be the speakers. Indications are that Congressman Smith will be greeted with an audience which will tax the capac ity of the theater. There seems to be little doubt but that Pottawattamie county when the votes are counted Tuesday night will still be In the republican ranks and that all gf the can didates from the national ticket down will receive substantial majorities. The election of the entire county ticket la looked for, and while the democratic leaders sjy they expect to elect part of their ticket this belief is not general among the rank and file. J. J. Hughes, democratic state committee man, Is an optimist. He stated last even ing that he believed the democrats would carry Pottawattamie county and that they would elect the entire county ticket. If they did not elect the entire county ticket they certainly would elect more than half of it. Mr. Hughes said his party expected to gain three counties In the Ninth district, namely, Adair, Audubon and Harrison. The senatorial districts of Mills and Mont gomery would certainly be found In the democratic ranks, he declared. Mitchell and Hess Strong;. James W. Mitchell, candidate for county treasurer, and J. J. Hess, candidate for county attorney, it Is believed will head j the republican ticket. They are expected to receive majorities of anywhere from 800 to 1,200 each. Both have made strong campaigns and their popularity throughout the county Is unquestioned. Both have made good officers and their records are perfectly clean. County Attorney Hess' record as county attorney wuuld be hard to beat. His ad ministration of the office has saved the taxpayers of Pottawattamie county many hundreds of dollars. In prosecuting crim inal oases he has been eminently success ful, as the records of the court will sub stantiate, and the criminal business of the county has been conducted at less cost to the taxpayers than ever before in the his tory of the county. This is a pretty strong statement, but the records of the district court are there to confirm It. During this campaign the .democrats have attempted to make capital out of the fact that a contract entered Into by the Board of Supervisors with a clerk In the office of the county treasurer to collect dnltnnuent personal taxes was declared Illegal. Such a contract had been in vogue for many years and Treasurer Mitchell benefited nothing by it personally. The commission paid the clerk was promptly refunded Into the county treasury when the board was In formed that such a contract was not legal. The county treasury was enriched to the amount of $10,000 by the work of the deputy, much of the delinquent taxes being secured froTi persons who had left the state. The attempt on the part of the democrats to make political capital out of this failed utterly, as It was well known that the mat ter did not In any manner, shape or form reflect on the county treasurer personally. Ticket a Strong; One. Tiie entire republican county ticket this year is a particularly strong one. R. V. Innes, cand date for county auditor, demon strated when holding that office before that he was the man for the place. When he retired from office four years ago Mr. Innes did so with the reputation of being one of the best auditors that Pottawattamie county ever had. His re-election is con ceded. H. A. Waddington, candidate for county recorder, demonatrated hla fitness for such an office (luring the time he aerved as deputy city clerk. Mr. Waddington has a large number of friends In the city as well as In the county to whom he Is better known as "Bert." Thomas McCaffery, candidate for sheriff, has served as deputy sheriff under Sheriff Canning and has established for himself an enviable record as an officer. Faneral of Mra. Denny. There was a large attendance of sorrow ing relatives and friends at the funeral services held yesterday afternoon over the Inte Mrs. Ellen K. Denny at the family residence at the ChrUtlan Home. The members of the Woman's Christian Teni perance union, of which the deceased was a prominent and valued member and a delegation from the local chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, of which Mrs. Denny waa also a member, w re smong the mourners. The services wi re conducted by Rev. Frank A. Case, pastor of the First Baptist church, as- I slstcrt by Rev. James M. Williams, pastor I cf the Broadway Methodist church, and ! Hev. D. K.

WARDS OFF BIG STATE FIGHT Itepnbllrna Majority In Ne I.a;la latare Certain To Be tirge Pledges Regarded Blad ing; On Members. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DKS MOINES, Nov. 2. (Special.) What promised to be an element of danger for the republicans of Iowa two months ago has turned out to be their salvation In this election. This was the special session of the legislature held for the purpose of amending the primary law. At the time Governor Cummins called the special ses sion there was very much criticism be cause of a feeling thst the people would not endorse the expenditure of the money lor the session and that they would take out tVielr resentment on the republicans. But by reason of this special session the primary law was amended so ss to relieve from the candidates for the legislature the burden of responsibility in regard to the next senator, leaving them a free hand to seek election without having the senatorial matter cause them embarrassment. It Is claimed that all the candidates for the leg islature have agreed to abide by the result of the primary In the state. He ice It Is that Instead of having 125 or more lo l fights, with, the senatorshlp invo'ved then ore none. The situation has caused the democrats to be. In fact, entirely hopeless of carrying tho legislature. At the outset they hoped to stand united and have the republicans fighting . each other on the senatorshlp. In such contingency they expected to se cure the legislature and elect Claude Porter to the senate. When the legislature provided a way for referring it back to the republicans of the state it was settled that there would be a republican legislature. Republican Majority Large. Of the 158 memberc of the Iowa legisla ture now the democrats have forty-seven. Good Judges estimate that they will have between fifty and sixty In the 'next leg islature. They cannot hope to have much more than one-third of the entire mem bership. While there were a number of districts carried by republicans that were close there were also a number - of dis tricts carried by democrats which cannot again be secured by them. The republican majority Is sure to be, as In the psst, In the hands of the progressive Wing of the party, since they are strong in the north ern part of the state where the large re publican majorities He. Primary Pledges Are Valid. Some Interest was aroused here In a court decision in North Dakota in which it was held that the provision of the primary law In that state for a pledge on the part of the legislative candidate to abide by the results was invalid and unconstitutional. The court took the ground that there could Lbe no legally binding pledge upon a legisla tor, but each one must be left to his own Judgment. But in 'Iowa the pledges are voluntary and are regarded only as morally binding and do not pretend to have any legal force. Of courae'any member could refuse to abide by, his .pledge, but It Is not expected that anyone will do so. Senatorshlp "May Be Close. It is admitted by must of the'shrewd poli ticians that the contest on the senatorshlp in Iowa may be close. The friends of Gov ernor Cummins and ex-Congressman Lacey both have maintained committees at work for the campaign. More literature has been sent out by these committees than In any other way. The Cummins people are rely ing, apparently, on the men who have here tofore in many campaigns given him sup port, and they believe that the progressives are actually In a majority in the state. The Lacey committee has appealed to the old soldiers and haa also made covert attacks upon Cummins by questioning his repub licanism. But. on the whole, the campaign has been carried on with due regard to the interests of the party. Both sides are claiming victory. It Is known that a great many of tliose who voted for Allison In Juno are now for Cummins, and, on the other hand, it is probabfe that some of those who voted for Cummins in June will not vote at all, Haffraglsts Plan Campaign. It haa been made evident aince the atate meeting of the Equal Suffrage association, that there Is to be a determined effort to have the legislature the coming winter adopt an amendment to the constitution to permit women to vote. It has been tho plan a long time In Iowa for ad least one house to pass the measure each session and let It fail In the other. Sometimes it has been passed up to one legislature by another, only to meet a fatal end. At the last session no effort was made to secure adoption of the amendment. It Is now in tended by the women who want to vote that the suffrage question shall be pressed . . . . i. i . upon the legislature very nmu aim mu iv shall be followed by such demonstrations as will indicate that the women are in deep earnest. They firmly believe that If it is ever submitted to Iowa voters it will be adopted. The activity of the temperance people Is causing some alarm In political circles. p"he Krcattfct trouble seems to be that the or- ganlxatlons of brewers and others Inter ested in maintaining reasonable observance of the Iowa laws have not been able to control the liberal element In some of the cities of the state. There has been friction of a serious nature over the enforcement of the lai. Now the temperance people are preparing to secure submission sgaln of the prohibitory amendment and they I L n REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR-'COUNTY ATTORNEY Every republican in Douglas county should vote for T. A. Hollister for county attorney, not only because he is the republican candidate, but because he is one of the best quali fied men who has ever been nominated for this important office. His democratic opponent is now running for this same office for the fourth time. He seems to think that there is something in the law that requires him to run and run, and keeps on running for it; but in this he is mistaken; he has served his county long enough, and our political traditions at least, demand a change. Elect Hollister, and you will have one of the, best county attorneys who has ever held ; that office in Douglas county.

TARGET FOR THE NEWSPAPERS General Oplnl"" He Will Be Forced to Retire ns n Hesnlt of Puwll rntlen of Interview In London. BERLIN, Nov. 2. Chancellor von Buelow's position appears to be almost un tenable. Far and wide throughout the empire the newspapers of all parties discuss with varying degrees ot mockery, umaie ment and regret the government's explana tion of how what purported to be enor mously important utterances of the emperor, affecting three powers, passed throjgh the hands of the chancellor and along the line of foreign office people without seemingly having been considered by any of them or read by most uf thos'i responsible for the delicate foreign relations. The emperor fully condones Prince von Buelow's part in the affair, but the chan cellor's authority and prestige with the country have been so shaken that he may again ask the emperor to relieve him. The radical, liberal and socialist Journals utilize the event to urge upon the country a de mand for a ministry responsible to the Parliament and the people. In addition to the semi-official accounts already published, It Is learned that the emperor handi d the maiiUFCrlpt of the Inter view, which appeared In the London Daily Telegraph and the authorship of which is stll undisclosed, to Baron von Jenisch, who was attached to hla entourage while the f mperr W" ab8ent from tne caPital short time ago, as the representative of the foreign office, with the direction to send it to Prince von Buelow.
