NEW YORK, Nov. 6.—The. Demo
cratic national committee today gave
out for publication a formal and final
statement. It la addressed to "Demo
cratic and Independent Voters/' and
reads as follows:
"This committee has conducted a
national canvass In a manner, it be
lieves, befitting: the dignity and integ
rity of the American people. It has
advanced no imaginative claims re
specting results, and has not accepted
for use In the campaign a single dollar
from the tariff-bred trusts, whose ex
actions have so greatly increased the
coat of every necessity of life, and
which are now contributing from their
gains great sums of money to perpet
uate a Republican rule.
Free From Obligation.
"The Democratic candidate, if elect
ed, will be absolutely free from obli
gation, direct or implied, to any per
son or group of persons other than the
whole people who shall have entrusted
to him the maintenance of the welfare
of the republic.
"This committee asks for Itself only
so much credit as such conduct of
canvass may merit, but it does feel
that both the party and the country
are to be congratulated upon the fact
that out of discordance and weakness
has been wrought a union of strength.
The difficulties attendant upon this
achievement are well understood,
every turn, by every conceivable
method, in every doubtful district of
every doubtful state, the efforts which

CUTHBERT, Ga., Nov. 6—The Geor
gia, Florida and Alabaiha railroad is
making active arrangements to extend
road northward, from Cuthbert
Columbus and Atlanta. For several
days, and engineering corps has been
the field, north of Cuthbert, looking
the different routs.
In this connectlon.it Is Interesting
note that a deed for 11,100,000.00 is
being recorded in this county to se
cure an issue of bonds to make this
extension. The paper is in favor of
the Manhattan Trust Company
New York.
The route Indicated in this paper is
from Cuthbert to Richland and thence
Columbus and Atlanta, or from
Cuthbert to Lumpkin, and thence to
Columbus, or to build a line from
Cuthbert to both of these places. An
other route is from Cuthbert, near
Spring Vale, and thence to the Chat
tahoochee river valley, and up this
valley to Columbus, leaving Lumpkin
and Richland to the west.
The issue al^o contemplates the
triotic and know to have been credit
able to both the candidate and this
committee, have been met by an ava
lanche of money.
.Republican Fund.
‘The source of supply of this great
Republican campaign fund is no long
er a matter of suspicion. The Repub
llcan candidate declared, with great
vehemence, that he had promised noth
ing more than what he may be pleased
to consider ‘a square deal* In return
for campaign contributions. The
Republican chairman, he vigorously
asserted, had assured Mm more than
once that there had been no necessity
for making direct pledges—that it had
been found possible to obtain all the
money needed, up to that time, at any
rate, without doing so.
"Neither he nor his chairman denied
that contributions had been nccepted
from the trusts, for the stmple reason
that the fact was undeniable and each
knew that it was susceptible of over
whelming proof. The payments were
‘voluntary/ not forced; such, and such
alone, was the burden of denials, which
were virtual admissions.
Elihu Roots' Defence.
"The only question remaining was
how much had been considered neces
sary. Fortunately even Information
was forthcoming. Simultaneously
with the preparation of the most ex
traordlnary temperamental document,
Indicative of the keenest desperation,
which has ever emanated from
White House, the candidate's most In
tlmate and trusted adviser, the former
secretary of war. Just returned from
Washington, was uttering another and
more detailed ‘defence* of his chief
this city. ‘The mere fact of contrlbu
tion' he held to be Inoffensive,

complished for so small an expendl

The Chain Complete.
"The chain Is complete—the trust

candidate or the chairman, unequivo
cally admitted and the amount plainly
stated by the former secretary of
"Five million dollars is the sum.
More could have been had if needed,
but under the present chairman’s more
careful direction that was deemed suf

tribute to the Republican canvass?
They were asked.* says the outspoken
former secretary.
"Did they think they were buying a
presidency?
"Or were they content with the as
surance from the Republican candidate
of *a square deal?* In either case, upon
their own testimony, the Republican
candidate stands today before his fel
low countrymen as one willing and
enger to accept for himself a presidency

great sum of five million dollars.
"Csn five million dollars of trust

sum. great as it is, contributed In the

ambition, suffice to thwart the will of
the American people?

NEW YORK, Nov. 6.—There was no
extreme activity about political head
quarters today but the managers were
alert and watching the close of the
campaign with great Interest. The
Democratic national committee issued
statement claiming with confidence
the election of Judge Parker, and also 1
making assertions about the campaign
fund of the Republican party. Chair
man Qortelyou, although shown a copy
of the statement, would make no com
ment further than to repeat the claim
made last night that Mr. Roosevelt
would have 314 votes In the electoral
college. The Democrats claim 270
votes.
About the hotels where politicians
usually gather and where great Inter
est is shown on the eve of an election
there was the same quiet that has
marked the progress of the canvass. A
few groups In cafes discussed tjie sit
uation and expressed opinions on the re
sult but there was no excitement nor
offers to wager any large sums, which
has been a feature of previous elec
tions.
Conflicting Claims.
Both committees received reports
during the day from lieutenants In the
field and both claimed that the reports
bore out their predictions of success
and caused their respective partisans
to declare with Increased confidence
their belief In the election of the can
didate they supported.
Judge Parker, who closed his tour of
speeches at Brooklyn lost evening, re
mained in New York until 6 o'clock
when he left for Esopus.
No special plans have been made by
either committee for tomorrow, but
they will be in close touch with party
managers In the debatable states and
the last filial suggestions for Tuesday's
work will be made.

Democratic stnte ticket will be elected
because of a complicated ballot sys
tem In this state which probably will
result In many . defective ballots If
much scratching Is done. It Is believ
ed that thousands of Republlcanc will
vote against T. J. Kelly, Repubctann
candidate for re-election to the office
of state treasurer, against whom seri
ous charges haveb een preferred In
the conduct of his office. The Repub
licans claim that Roosevelt will carry
the state by 90.000 plurality and that
the entire state ticket will be elected
by safe pluralities, admitting, however,
that Kelly will run about 30,000 behind
his ticket.

ROME. Nov. 6.—Tho general election
for members of the chamber of deputies
took place today, and up to mldnlgnt no
serious Incident had been reported. Re
sults have been ascertained In about
three-fifths of the constituencies, show

of ministerial followers, as most of the

of the constitutional opposition has lost
some of his followers, owing to the fact
that Milan, which formerly was entirely

NEW YORK. Nov. 0.—Final Demo
cratlc rallies were held tonight In <
hAlf dozen places In the borough of
Manhattan and all of the meetings were
well attended and the audiences were
liberal with applause.
At Mldner'a Bowery theateer the
speakers included Congressman
Bourke Cockran and William Bulssr.
At a meeting at the Starv theater for
mer Senator Charles A. Towne and
State Senator Thoma3.F. Grady spoke.
Mnrt of the speakers made attacks
upon l'i dent Roosevelt and Gover
nor Odell and criticised the president’s
stitcrcnt In reply to Judge Parker’s
l charges.
At the Bowery theater Mr. Cockran
In hts reference to the president said:
"I felt that Mr. Roosevelt would be
able to say before the close of the
campaign thnt he had not allowed a
cent to he accepted from dishonorable
sources, but I am disappointed. Per
sons are started by the depravity of It.
It mukes Judge Parker's election sure.
As much as I want Parker’u election.
I do not want it if the price of It is the
price of discredit of my citizenship/'
Quiet times prevailed nt the head
quarters of both state committees to
day. Governor Odell would mnke no
further predictions than have already
been made thnt New York would cast
its vote for Roosevelt for president ami
Iilgglns for governor.
William Halpln, chairman of the ex
ecutive committee of the Republican
county committee, tonight gave out a
forecast of the result, In which he esti
muted 164,000 votes in New York coun
ty for Roosevelt and 196,000 for Parker,
with about 40,000 votes going to the
other candidates. Continuing, he says:
I do not estimate that the differ
ence between the vote of Roosevelt and
Higgins In New York county will ex
ceed 11,000. So that Higgins should
receive 143,000 as against 207,000 for
Herrick, a plurality of 64,000 for Her
rick in New York county.
"If one did not have to keep In mind
the considerable Democratic majorities
cast In New York county In the years
gone by It would be possible to estt
mate that the majority against Roose
velt In New York county would be
less than 42.000 and against Higgins
less than 64,000. But In any event
cannot see how these figures will be
exceeded/*

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Nov. 0.—
There ore no new. developments today
to cause n change from the estimate

ticket. The Democratic plurality will

congressional district; 7,000 In the soc-
ond and 0.000 In the third.

probable that complete 'returns will

ST. PAUL, Nov. 6.—Roosevelt will
carry the state, the only question be
ing tho size of his majority. Repub
lican managers claim It will be nt
least 70,000. The Republicans are prac
tically certain of a solid congressional
delegation. The only uncertain ole-
inent In the state campaign Is the gov
ernorship. Newspaper partisans of
John A. Johuson print tabulated polls
of the ntate giving him plurnlltles
ranging from 6.000 to 26,000, while the
Republican* claim the election of Rob

there Is serious defection rtnong tho

TRENTON, N. J., Nov. 6.—The In
terest In the stnte campaign In New
Jersey has been so great that the
Democratic and Republican guberna
torial nominees will not close their re
spective canvasses until tomorrow
night Both Edwnrd C. Stokes, the
Republican nominee, and Chas.
Black. the Democratic standard
bearer, accompanied by other speak
era will make short tours and deliver
addresses. The day brought forth no
change In the predictions of the party
leaders as to Tuesday's results. The
Republicans reiterate that Roosevelt
and Fairbanks will carry the stpUi by
a large majority, nnd that Stokes will
win by slightly reduced vote. The
Democrats, on the other hand, have
more confidence In defeating Stokes
than they have In carrying tho state
for Parker and Davis. The next leg-
lain ture probably will be Republican.

NASHVILLE, Ttnn., Nov. 6.—Re-
publcans hnve made an unusually ac
tive canvass In Tennessee and regis
tration of negroes has been large. Dem
ocratic presidential electors will, how
ever, carry the state by 25,000 to 30,000,
whllo Frasier's majority for governor
will be somewhat less. The legislature
will be largely Democratic and will
elect United States Senator Bate fo
succeed himself. Eight of the ten con
gressmen will be Democrats. Seven
proposed amendments to the state con
stltution to be voted on will probably
be defeated.
ATLANTA Nov. 6.—Five electoral
tickets are in the field to be voted for
Tuesday, and only two short days re
main in which to get tho voters In fine
before tho polls close Tuesday night.
Judge J. 8. Turner, chairman of the
prison commission, after a week of
hard work, left for his home In Eaton-
ton this morning. Before taking tho
train Judge Turner said: "I expect to'
he In my buggy all of tomorrow and
Tuesday doing what I can to get the
people of Putnnm county to come out
and vote for Parker. I am going to
visit every militia district In the county
and see the people personally, so tar as
I am able to do so, In the two days yet
remaining before the polls arc closed.
Now, while I feel satisfied that Putnam
county will give Parker and Davis a
good majority, I think It will not bo
out of place to see the people and urgo
them to make the majority as large ns
possible."
This statement from Judge Turner
suggests the Idea that If the name
thing was done in every other’’county
In the state by prominent Democrats,
Parker and Davis would get cn old-
time Democratic majority. There wu » .
a time years ago, when it was nothin : ’
unusunl to roll up a mnjorlty of nen-ljl
a hundred thousand for the Democrat lo
ticket, nnd the same thing can occur
again If good, earnest work Is dope..
It should be remembered thnt unle «
Parker snd Davis get a majority over
nil other candidates an extra session
of the legislature will hove to bo held
to elect the electors to represent Geor
gia In the electoral college.
With five electoral tickets In tho field
It will bo a difficult matter to pile up
a mnjorlty over all unless the Demo
crats tnke more interest. The follow

SIOUX FALUi. 8. D.. Nov. 0.—Th-
ampslgn. which Is now practically
closed In South Dakota, was In moony
respects the most remarkable in the
history of the state, as little Interest
has been shown. This was due to th>
fact that It was generally conceded
from the start that the Republican!
would carry the state by an over
whelming plurality. Everything Indl
cates that about 100,000 votes will b
cast and that the Republcans will poll
65,000 or 70.000 of this number.
