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 \ we maintain to have been nt least pa- 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, chief pride was In the great work ac complished for so small an expendl ture. ‘The fact is/ he prouldy de dared, ‘That It is the smallest fund have had for twelve years—about one half the Republican fund when Mc Kinley was elected In 1896/ That fund, It Is well known, wa approxl mately ten million dollars. Accepting these figures ns correct, therefore. Republican chairman has had only about five million dollars at his die posaL The Chain Complete. "The chain Is complete—the trust contributions not denied by either 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 ficient. But why did the trusts con 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 that cost protected monopolies the great sum of five million dollars. "Csn five million dollars of trust money buy a presidency? Can this sum. great as it is, contributed In the hope of favors to be returned and gratefully accepted as a necessary yreekto for th<* gratification of personal ambition, suffice to thwart the will of the American people?

Already the good effect is being felt, and a wonderful growth and development of this city will be the result.

Besides this, quite a lot of building and Im provement Is going on. real estates changing hands, and. notwithstanding the new buildings that have gone up, the town still Is without any vacant residences. A very bright future seems ahead of Cuthbert. At present, she has never enjoyed a better business sea son and Is much encouraged over the prospect 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. Telegraph Election Returns The Telegraph tomorrow night, according to Its custom, will ex hibit the Associated Press elec tion returns upon a large canvas, ’ ‘arranged on the Second street side of the office.

They give no figures but base their claim on defection in Republican ranks over the compromise candidate for governor. The Demo crats still think their candidate for governor will be elected find Parker has a good chance of carrying the state. The Republicans elalfb the legisla ture and the state and national tickets, placing Roosevelt's majority at About 3,000. claimed by the committee that the 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. great airship DEMONSTRATION Most Elaborate in World’s History TO BEGIN TOMORROW SHOULD WORK FOR BIG VOTE Tomorrow Georgia Should Do Her Balloting At St. Louis a Very Spirited Contest Will Commence for Splendid Prizo of One Hundred Thousand Dollars, Offered by the Louisiana Purchase Exposition Company, Kentucky, LOUISVILLE, Ky., Nov. 6.—The Sunday before election finds an ener getic still-hunt for votes proceeding In Kentucky, especially In the third and fifth congressional districts. The fifth district, composed of the city of Louisville nnrl Jefferson county, Is at present represented by Hwnger Sher- ley, n Democrat, but tho Republicans are claiming that they will carry the district with a fighting chance of ■winging over the third also. The Republicans deelnre that if they do not carry stnte for tho nntlonnl ticket, they will at least cut down the plurality given Brynn at the last election. The Democrats nre very confident, some of the leaders estimating Parker's plural ity as high as 20,000.

Power of Extreme Parties Appears to Have Been Diminished. 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 ing that the power of the extreme par ties has been diminished, without, how ever. materially augmenting the number of ministerial followers, as most of the new recruits are conservatives, who may be expected soon to abandon Premier Glollttl, a Liberal, Sonnlnl. the leader of the constitutional opposition has lost some of his followers, owing to the fact that Milan, which formerly was entirely represented by extremists, has elected two conservatives, one clerical and two socialist-reformists, one of whom. Truatl, was supported even by non-soclaJIstM. As Turatl. though a leader of the socialists- reformists, condemned the general strike, his election Is regarded as a reply to that strike. Geneva, where the strike was most violent, overthrew the extremists. Ferrl. the socialist leader. In most of the forty were competing with prominent poll Hr|- ans as Minister of the Treasury Luz- sattl. who had 1,866 votes out of 2,000 and Ferrl 106. The cleric voted almost everywhere for conservative candidates. Further return* and second balloting* next Sunday may considerably change the situation. 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/* Democratic Chairman Cord Meyer was not at headquarters today, hut State Senator Patrick H. McCarren. chairman of the executive committee, reiterated his declaration that Parker would be elected and Herrick would carry the state. Florida, JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Nov. 0.— There ore no new. developments today to cause n change from the estimate of -20,000 plurality for the Democratic ticket. The Democratic plurality will probnbty be five thousand in the first congressional district; 7,000 In the soc- ond and 0.000 In the third. From the length of thd ticket It Is probable that complete 'returns will not bo in before Thursday’as the ticket has on it the names of candidates, besides fourteen places to mark In vot ing for proposed constitutional amend ments. Minnesota. 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 ert C. Dunn by 41.000 plurality. That there Is serious defection rtnong tho Republicans Is admitted. ST. LOUIS.

Tomorrow night both parties will hold rallies in every ward In this city absolutely convincing that Judge Par ker will be elected.

The Democratic managers have made no estimates beyond thnt tho Republican prediction Is too hlkh. City Republi can Lender Durham says Philadelphia will give a Republican plurullty of 130,000 to 183.00. The Democrats have a determined fight In eight of the thirty-two con gressional districts of the state, and hope to Increase their present mem bership of three In the national house.

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. Nebraska.

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.
