Nov. 6.—President Wood raw Wilson and Charlo* E. Hughes, can didates -If the dominant parties for pres ident. remained quietly at their homes today recuperating from tae labors of a long campaign The last word sent for ward bv them to the people was an ex pression that each felt confident of vlc- Fresident Wilson planned to remain j.iietlv at home at Shadow Laam today .nd his only activity tomorrow will be a trip to Princeton to cast his ballot. Tomorrow night, with only the members of his family about him. he will receive the retur is in his study at Shadow Lawn. Mr. Hughes remained at his hotel early in the forenoon but later visited the national Republican headquarters chiefly, it was stated, to thank the work ers for their efforts in his behalf. He intended to take a drive through the parks this afternoon and spend the rest of the dt£ quietly at his hotel. Tomorrow he will vote in his home ais-( trict here and tomorrow night he will get -the returns in his hotel rooms. Like Hr. Wilson he plans to have only im mediate members of his family with him when the returns come. Political headquarters here still pre sented scenes of activity today. laist reports from the political bat tlefield were received and final Instruc tion sent. Both the chairmen had lit tle to add to their forecasts issued Sat urday night. CLAIMS OF CHAIRMEN. Republican Chairman Willcox then predicted Hughes would receive at least ’OO majority in the electoral college while Democratic Chairman McCormick /gave Mr. Wilson 364 votes. The neces -ary elective vote in the college is 266. The larger participation of women as voters in a presidential campaign and the congressional elections are of keen interest to politicians generally. The re turns from the states in which women will vote, it is admitted, will be closely and anxiously scanned. So far as con gress is concerned a full house of rep resentatives and 33 United States sena tors will be elected. The total member ship of the house is 435 and the neces sary majority is 318. In the senate the present membership is 93 and the neces sary majority is 94. In all 35 new sen ators will take their seats next March. <Jf these the Republicans elected two at the September election in Maine. Forty-two of the states will elect state officials tomorrow in addition to at tonal congressional candidates. Os t.veaa -tales 35 will elect governors. Fair weather and moderate tempera ture is forecast generally for election day and if thia prediction holds true vir tually a full rote. It is expected, will be •ast throughout the country. STATE CANDIDATES BUSY. The day before election found both Repubican and Democratic candidates *or the governorship making final ap peals, although victory was claimed for each by the respective - rial rm an. Both -elected this city for the scene of their ast campaign activity . Governor Whitman nad on his pro gram four noon-day speeches and five onight. Samuel Seabury after after noon talks in Rockland county, will return to New York for an automobile -’reel corner tour of the west side. Still predicting heavy pluralities for •heir respective tickets the state chair men were busy today making final ar rangements for watching the polls to see that the election laws are observed. The nnal forecast of Republican State Chairman Tanner is that Governor Whitman will carry the state by more hat ’.00.09*. Democratic State Chair man Harris and the Tammany leaders are giving out no specific figures offl 'ally but claims that the Democratic plurality* in New York city will be so heavy that it will overcome the Re publican plurality upstate. Women of Illinois Vote for First Time CHICAGO, Nov. 9.—Although the state. congressional and local cam paigns in Illinois was practically closed Saturday night, leaders and candidates of the various parties spent today for he moat part in perfecting organlza ion in the wards and precincts. A few of the candidates made speeches out the chief activity was left to the r-arty workers. No statemepta were available from .he chairmen of either the Republican or Democratic state committees today. Chairmen of both Rep u oilcan and Dem u'ratic committees claim the state will ast its vote for their respective can didates for president by practically the ■<ame plurality. 159,000. The Republl •an chairman also claims that Frank Lowdern will be chosen governor by 159,000 plurality, while the Democrat ic chairman puts forth the claim that (Continued on Page 2, Column 1) The Semi-W eekly Journal The T J^ k New York World You get ftoe usues a week! f 11 260 iuues a year— ALL Tor'l •'l/ a y ear Uaa Thia Coupon-"Writ* Plainly—~*nd Mail •< Onet The Semi-Weekly Journal, Atlanta, Ga.: SIGN the coupon—en- Enclosed find St.lo.

RF D STATE 8188 mcormick EXPECTS DDUBTFUL STITES TO JOIN WILSON COLUMN Democratic Chairman Says Situation Looks Better Now Than When Campaign Closed Saturday Night ■Y. BAX.PH SMITH. NEW YORK. Nov. 6.—“ Boys, it looks even better today than it did Saturday, when I issued my formal estimate giv ing the president not less than 364 elec toral votes,” saiu Cnairman Vance Mc- Cormick, manager of the Democratic campaign today. *‘l don’t make any re vision in my formal but I would not be surprised if a number of the so-called doubtful states swing into the Wilson column, increasing his ma jority in the electoral college.” Chairman McCormick means just that, too. There is no question as to his con fidence. As he pointed out this morn ing. he refused absolutely to claim Maine in the September election and invited at tention to the fact that then his private advices indicated a Republican plurality of P.OOo votes in Maine. , . “And now, fellows, I want to tell you, my advices that Maine was going Repub lican by 9.00 V were prety well vindi cated. He continued, “The Republicans carried the state by 9,3vt> votes.” “It is unnecessary for me to comment upon the accuracy of our private ad vices. We missed the result of the Maine election by only 300 votes.” BELIEVES IN REPORTS. Chairman McCormick added that the same painstaking work had been done by the orgfcnizat£>n bureau of the national committee in its work throughout the country that was done in Maine. “I believe in the reports that the or ganization has furnished me,” he said, “and I believe absolutely that they will be vindicated tomorrow by the re-elec tion of the president.” Chairman McCormick’s offices were overrun today with jubilant Democrats from New York and adjoining states. Secretary McAdoo and Secretary Red held were among the callers. They all shared the optimism of the chairman •nd I may state truthfully that anything short of a big. substantial victory for Wilson will be a source of genulnf sur prise to McCormick and others connect ed with the campaign. The Republicans, also profess confi dence today, but I have it from news paper men who make daily visits to Chairman Willcox that there are several people around Republican headquarters who privately entertain much appiehen sion over the result. It is the Democratic view that ail of the electoral votes the president re ceives east of th/e Allegheny mountain will be velvet. In a word the Democrats expect that the west and south will furnish votes enough to re-elect Wil son, though they expect also to capture New York. New Jersey and Connecticut. The Democrats believe confidehtly that Wilson will not only carry Ohio, Indiana, but also Illinois and Wis consin. It is the expectation of the Democratic managers that Wilson will receive three out of every four woman votes in Illinois. It is unquestionably true that tne Wilson campaign with respect to these new voters has been much better conducted than has been the Republican campaign. HUGES SLIGHT FAVORITE. Notwithstanding the newspaper polls of yesterday, that were favorable to Wilson, Hughes continued today to rule a slight favorite in the Wall street betting. With the opening of business, >50.000 was wagered on IfTllson at seven to ten. with the result that the odds shortened up. The Democrats demand ten to eight and the Republicans are unwilling to lay better than ten to nine. The indications are that the betting will be even before the day is over. The interest in the result in New York is far out of proportion to the importance of this great state, with its forty-five electoral votes as deciding the result. Wilson can win without New York's votes. Hughes cannot possibly win without it. and there you have a possible explanation of the interest in the fight here. Leader Murphy of Tammany Hall be lieves Wilson will carry the state. I know this to be the truth and he Is not disturbed seriously as to the Republi can upstate plurality. He has given no figures, but I have reason to suspect that he counts on a Wilson plurality ex ceeding 120,000 in the greater city. That there lias been great Republi can deflection upstate is not disputed even by the Republican managers, but they disagree to the Murphy view that the Wilson plurality in the greater city will be unusually large. Herbert Par sons, Republican national committeeman, thinks Wilson's plurality in the city will be cut to 65.000 and that Hughes' plurality upstate will exceed 100,000 votes. If the relative ovations accorded Hughes and Wilson In New York City is a criterion of their popularity and indicative of the vote each is to re ceive. it seems certain that the ppresi dent will have an overwhelming plu rality In the greater city.

Thou sands of peopl# were unable to get within blocks of Madison Square Gar den the night Wilson spoke, whereas Saturday night no difficulty was expe rienced in getting seats at the Garden to hear Hughes. HUGHES A DISAPPOINTMENT. Tnursday evening, with Chairman Mc- Cormick, 1 was unable to gain admit tance to the Garden; Saturday evening it was easy to obtain a seat. But what the Republican cause has lacked in enthusiasm, it has made up in the extravagant use of money. In no other campaign has any party been so well supplied with funds, and at iu> other time lias money been spent - with such 1 profigagey. Millions of dollars have been invested by the Republicans in newspa pers and magazine advertising, while large sums have been sent to state com mittees “to get out the vote On election day.” I The Republican campaign, however, has suffered from bad management and Mr. Hughes hasn’t made a good candi date. He has been a disappointment all over the country and has not strengthen ed his case by his attacks upon the Wil son administration. He has been handi capped of course for the want of an is sue, but he has not made the most of his opportunities. There have been I many Internal rows in the Republican national committee. ATLANTA, GA., TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1916. POLES ARE ASKED TO SEND AN ARMY TO HEEP TEUTONS Central Powers Restore An cient Kingdom and “Hope Polish Army Will Soon Be Fighting by Our Side” * 1 ■ * (By Associated Breee.) WARSAW, Sunday, Nov. s.—(Via Berliig Nov. 5, au4 London, Nov. 6.) The manifesto of William and Emperor Francis Joseph again calling into existence the ancient kingdom of Poland was read at noon today to the assembled Polish’representatives in the royal palace by Governor General von Beseler. Outside in the great square before the castle and in the spacious courtyard of the venerable fourteenth century pile, inhabitants of tl.e old Polish capital gathered by the thousands to attend the ceremony of what is designated as ihe rebirth of .the Polish nation. Quickest to realize the significance of the day are the academic youth, stu dents of the University of Warsaw, the Polytechnic school and other higher in stitutions of learning, who attended thf ceremony in corporate units, bearing banners and wearing the gay student ribbons. This afternoon they are leading pa rades and demonstrations through streets bright with red dags. There are volunteers by the hundreds for the Polish army, which the manifesto an nounced will be called into existence. CEREMONY IS SIMPLE. The ceremony was short and simple. Precisely at noon General von Beseler, wearing the decorations granted for the reduction of Antwerp and the Polish fortresses, mounted the dais In the gala ball room'of the old Jagellonian castle, and in the name of Germany’s sovereign, read the imperial manifesto. When he ceased, the Polish Count Hut . ten-Czapski, the palace commandant, read from a leather-bound pamphlet to the Polish notables a translation of the manifesto in‘their own language. Then came cheers from the hitherto silent crowd: cheers for Poland, Emper or William, Emperor Francis Joseph, for Germany and the Germans, and for Gen eral von Beseler. President Brudzinski, of the'recently elected city council, rec tor of the University of Warsaw, ad vanced before the dais and in'the Polish tongue gave thanks for the Imperial decree. He asserted the determination of the Poles would be found worthy of the liberties conferred and msked that as the first step toward the forma tion of the government a regent be ap pointed for the kingdom, since the time was not ripe for the nomination of tne hereditary sovereign. General von Beseler replied that in the midst of the world war had come the moment of fulfillment of the long cher ished Polish wish for're-establishment of the Polish kingdom. i SEEKS POLAND’S AID. “Doubts as to the future,” 'he said, • can find no place in Polish hearts. It will be our task, shoulder to shoulder with the residents of Poland, to carry the war to a ’victorious conclusion and to heal the wounds of the war. Take | piaces ’at our side Bi confidence, which !wc repay by the magnantmus decision of the Austro-German monarchs who ■ place • their seal on the plans for the ‘ unity of Poland. We hope that soon a Polish army will be fighting on our side in token of the sentiment for develop ment of the new kingdom. May all good fortune attend the kingdom of Poland." A band in an adjoining gallery struck •up the strains of the ancient national anthem, and after a few bars had been prtlyed the Poles burst spontaneously into the strains which recites the ancient I gloifies, the fallen fortunes and the undy -Ing hopes of Poland. Twenty minutes saw the end of the •eremony and the participants slowly 1 nade their way from the palace through I’he crowded cohrtyard into the throng j utside.

GEORGIA GIVES S2l ,800 TO WILSON'S CAMPAIGN Contributions Represent Tire less Work of Three Men and One Woman, Twenty-one thousand dollars have been raised in Georgia for the Wilson campaign fund by three men and one little woman. Before Monday’s sun light begins to fade it is believed that another thousand dollars will be added to the sum already raised. Under the direction of John D. Walk er, chairman of the Georgia committee or the. Democratic national committee. Mrs. Emma T. Martin, Ben Lee Crew and Neyle Colquitt have covered 411 corners of the state, and contributions have been received from the big towns, from the small but ■•ambitious towns, and towns not yet sufficiently important to win a position on the map. Neyle Colquitt has led a patriotic parade through south Georgia; Ben Lee Crew has covered with extreme thor oughness the northern part of the state; Mrs. Emma T. Martin appealed to Georgia’s loyal women, and John D. Walker watched the whole proceeding with the eye of a gerat general direct ing a battle of vast significance. EVERYBODY DONATES. The men of the state responded; the women answered the call with cash do nations. People in tffb country were liberal and people in the city gavei all •they could afford to give. Mr. Walker telegfaphed The Journal Monday that efforts were being begun to raise an additional JI,OOO and the list wodld be kept open until Thurs day. Wood row Wilson will be elected presi dent of the United States at a political mans meeting to be held at Agnes Scott college Monday night. The young ladies have planned to make the occasion a memorable one, and at the meeting dif ferent girls will assume the roles of the Democratic speech makers, and campaign managers, and women fund managers and one or two will wear the raiment of the Republican party. It will be strictly a democratic affair, however, and the young ladies associated with the G. O. P. will find themselves singularly lonely and in a state of pro found embarrassment. When the “election" is ended and the young ladles have decided that Mr. Wilson is the right man to occupy the White House for the next four ‘years, the ppresident will be so advised of his election by telegraph. /J.
