New York Parade an Indication
of How Votei Will Be
Oast Tuesday.
wilsoit'S wnraup gloomy
New York, Nov. 6. (Special Tele
gram.) Voters of Manhattan Island,
marching in thousands up Fifth ave
nue for more than six hours last night
made an incontestable demonstration
that this state is for Hughes, ind gave
their significant and unmistakable
answer to the rainbow claims of the
- democrats about carrying New York
and the election for Wilson.
Not since the great sound money
parade in the McKinley campaign,
twenty years ago, has there been such
a political demonstration in New
York, or, for that matter, in the
United States. Sixty-five thousand
Manhattan voters swung along in time
to the music of blaring bands. They
had to step right in order to i
tnrougn with the parade by bunday
morning, and even at that, although
tacy marched at a pace that suggested
a race, it was half an hour past mid
night when the last organization had
reached the point of dismissal, and the
great Hughes' parade was over. -
Democrat! Chasing Dreams, '
' ft was a striking contrast to the
Tammany-Wilson parade that alio
marched down the same avenue only
two nights before, numbering less
than 15,000, including almost 3,000
boys, and requiring less than two
hours to display the democratic en
thusiasm for Wilson. .
. There were . more than 65,000
Hughes voters in the republican pa
rade last night, and everyone of them
may be counted on to go to the polls
on Tuesday and cast his ballot The
Wilson parade was typical of the clos
ing days of the Wilson campaign, all
sound and fury. As their fight has
waned, the democratic claims of vic
tory have grown to incredible and ab
surd propc. tions, until this morning
they come out with an alleged esti
mate" that shows conclusively they
are still thinking ana talking in terms
of 1912. and have been unable to
recognise the fact that this is 1916,
and that the division which made Wil
son president four years ago is healed.
Wilson Windup FooiIm.
President Wilson's last stroke in
his own behalf was tinged with the
hue of failure. For several days the
New York newspspers had earned ad
vertisements that special tram were
to run to take the crowds to Shtdow
Lawn to hear Mr. Wilson's last
speech of the campaign. At. first the
number of these' specials was put as
high as eight and it wat announced
that 15,000 Or more Wilson enthusi
asts would make .the journey to get
this final word of encouragement
from their candidate. But as the day
approached and the expected enthusi
asm for the event did not appear the
number . f special trains was repeat
edly reduced until at last the regular
railroad service needed little supple
ment to furnish ample accommoda
tions for all who desired to go, and
instead of the advertised 15,000 scare'
ly 2,000 person stood on Shadow
Lawn to listen to the querulous word
' yet .
each yea.
Beach Says Hughes
by 10,000 to 20,000
Lincoln, Nov. (.(Special Tele-
Srsm.) E. D. Beach, chairman of
it republican state commltfe, Is
sued this statement:
"Nebraska will go republican to
morrow by majorities ranging frtfm
10,000 to 20,000. W will elect flv
sure and possibly all six congress
men. Many leading democrat
now concede Hitchcock' defeat
and the election of John L. Ken
nedy. No one now seriously dis
putes Judge Sutton' election as
governor.
The ghosts of murdered Ameri
can nun and missionaries in Mex
ico have east their shadow over
Woodrow Wilton' "Shadow
Lawn" and Nebraska will be for
Charles Evans Hugh by a safe
lead.
of the president, who spoke like one
who realized the defeat he is facing
and who found difficulty in maintain
ing his nerve and composure under
the strain.
. Better Want Hughes.
Meantime, the betting odds continue
to show the faith of the public gen
erally that Hughes is elected and
Wilson defeated. Despite the astound
ing claims of the democratic managers
for a Wilson maioritv in the electoral
college, .almost equal to that of 1912,1
there was not t democrat to be found
in New York City who would back
those claims with his money. If you
ask a democrat, especially one ot the
Wilson campaign managers, what the
result of the election is to be, he will
reply that Wilson is to csrry every
thing in sight. But if you ask him
to bet, he inevitably replies that it is
a 10 to 1 shot on Hughes, and he
want odds of at least 10 to 6.
All Sign for Hughes.
That is the situation on the eve of
the election. Every reliable and re
sponsible indication throughout the
campaign has pointed to tile over
whelming election of Charles E.
Hughes to the presidency. There has
been absolutely nothing on the demo
cratic side but noisy and unsupported
assertions. Whenever and wherever
there has been a count the republicans
have shown in the majority. The
democrats are doing now in the nation
just what they did in September in
Maine, claiming everything in the
hope of affecting, thereby some wav
ering votes, I ne verdict ot the voters
will be for the nation just what it was
in Maine. Charles Evans Hughes will
succeed Woodrow Wilson as the chief
magistrate of the United States on
March 4, 1917.

CHICAGO IS HELD DOUBTFUL
Chicago, Nov. 6 Fred E. Sterling,
chairman of the republican state cen
tral committee, having claimed Illi
nois for Hughes, and likewise for
Frank O. Lowden, gubernatorial can
didate by 150,000 votes, and Arthur

cratic state committee, having claimed
! the slate by precisely the same
Slurality for Wilson and Governor

ure today to figure it out for then -selves.
Both camps claimed Chicago in
their formal statements, but leaders
fienerstly were said to admit pTivate
y that the city might jump either
way, and do it with emphasis.
Mr. Sterling estimated the total
vote for the state at 1.800,000, in
cluding about 700,000 women, who are
allowed to vote for president, but not
for governor. Miss Harriet Vittum,
manager of the woman's department
at republican headquarters, thought
that 500,000 would cover the feminine
vote in this state.

CREDIT TO ADVERTISING
"Information coming to our league
within the last month foreshadows the
defeat of prohibition," said J. B.
Haynes, who has done the publicity
work of the prosperity league. "Scores
of newspaper publishers throughout
the state with whom we have done
business have reported from time to
time the change of public sentiment
respecting the proposed amendment.
These reports have been voluntary.
In addition to them, our representa
tives, whose business it was to ar
range for meetings for our speakers,
have for a month brought in similar
reports, based upon conversations
with leading men in many cities and
towns of the state. From these and
other sources, our leaizue has received
predictions of victory from men whose
judgment is entitled to consideration.
"The league's analysis of the situa
tion leads to the conclusion that the
advocates of high license and local op
tion in the up-state countiea will come
to Douglas county with a majority of
not less than 10,000, and it may ex
ceed 15,000. Add to this the conceded
majority in Douglas county, which
cannot be less than 15,000, and is
more, likely to exceed 20,000, and we
have a clear total majority against the
amendment of 25,000, at the lowest
possible estimate. -
"Our league has conducted the most
extensive newspaper campaign of edu
cation ever done in this state, and the
defeat of the amendment will be large
ly due to this fact.
