THEOUTLOOKINNEWYORK Both Parties Claim the State, Coler Saying he is Absolutely Certain of Electior. Every' where in Dixie Democratic Suc cess a Foregone Conclusion. (By the Associated Press.) New York. Nov. I.—With the leaders of both parties confident of success and predicting majorities of 40,000 or 50.00 C for their respective tickets, the State campaign for the election next Tuesdaj was brought to a close tonight. The candidates of the two leading parties for Governor chose the battleground of King s county for their speeches tonight, while former Senator Hill was in Buf falo making a final effort to capture Erie county. Conservative men in both the leading parties predicted that suc cess would be won with a majority pos sibly as small as 10,000, and all predic tions are based on widely' different esti mates of the majority the Democratic ticket will show up to the‘Bronx and the majority which the Republican ticket will bring down there from up the State to meet it. oGvernol Odell himself to day predicted the success of the Re publican State ticket by 50,000, while Chairman Dunn, of the Republican State Committee, clung to his prediction of 37,000 for the ticket. While Governor Odell and Colonel Dunn were thus expressing their confi dence, Bird S. Coler, the Democratic nominee for Governor, and Chairman Campbell, of the Democratic State Com mittee, were making similar statements for their party in the State. “I have received reports of the most encourag ing character from up State,” said Mr. < 'oler. “and I am absolutely certain of my election.” Chairman Campbell said: “The outlook is encouraging.” He gave out no fur ther today, but in ex i#i«fTation of his reticence he said a de tailed statement of claims of his party probably would be made public Monday- In Wall Street today the betting was 2 to 1 on Odell, and many firms placed amounts ranging from SI,OOO to $5,000. There was a good deal of money to bet at 10 to 6, but the Democrats asked bet tor odds. In Greater New York, the Democrats regard the outlook as indicating a ma jority of at least 85,000 or 90,000, while Charles F Murphy, the Tammany leader, predicts that Coler will go to the Bronx with 112.000 to the good. A Republican estimate gives Coler 60,000 in New York county, 10,000 in Kings, and 1,000 in Richmond. All 0 K. in Alabama, ißv the Associated Press.) Montgomery, Ala., Nov. 1. —The cam paign practically closed in Alabama to night. Monday, several rallies will be told, but the real werk of the campaign has been completed. The elimination of the negro from the electorate has caused a partial re-eating of political lines, and an attempt has been made by the “lily white” Republi cans to supply all the opposition to the Democratic candidates. Some Republicans claim that they will have a majority for their State ticket and that they will elect several Congress men, but in reality there is no doubt of i n overwhelming victory for the Demo crats. In one Congressional district, the Seventh, the race i 3 close with indications of the election of Burnett, Democrat. Pointing to a Democratic Victory. (Special to the News and Observer.) Sturgill, Ashe County, October 31. The registration of the voters has closed and ' a polling of the votes has been taken and everything points to a Democratic victory. Ashe is a close county, but the Republicans are very uneasy. The candidate for sheriff, who was elected by a good majority two years ago. says he would give five hun dred dollars to be out of the race, and declares that if he ever gets out of this, he will stay out. The Republicans have given up all hope of the Representative, and the candidate for the State Senate j will be in the lead. Though this county is Blackburn’s former home, it is believ- I ed that Kluttz will get a majority. . | Alleghany is safe, notwithstanding i Blackburn and his crowd say he will leave the county with two hundred ma jority. That is the very cheapest kind of talk. The Republicans will not elect a man in the county- The Democrats have on the Avar paint, and they are led by the old warrior, Hon. R. A. Dough ton, and that means sure victory. As sure as sundown comes November the 4th, so sure Alleghany will be Demo cratic. There are twro independent can didates in the county, (one for sheriff and the other for clerk), but they will neA-er get there on that ticket. This lin ing up of Democracy has been brought about by a careful and prudent canvass. The gentlemen who have come in to speak for the people have given the very infor mation they needed and wanted, and it will bear its fruit at the polls. The Re- The News and Observer. publicans have put up the best fight of Avhich they are capable, but they, see and feel the tide is against them. The fine w eather of the past few weeks has enabled the farmers to get their fall work in fine shape. A very large acre age of wheat been sown, and it looks well. The corn is being cribbed, and it will not be so scarce next year. The cat tle are being put on the market, and soon there will be none in the country, only such as will be kept for next sea son’s grazing. The farmers are hopeful. The railroad that is heading this Avay from Marion, Virginia, is giving em ployment to the idle and furnishes a near-by market for the surplus produce. There are acres of fine timber in this county that are going to waste, and fruit and vegetables that would be a source of revenue if they could be put on the market without so much wear and tear of man and beast. The roads are wretched- They have been worked but little since the freshets of last Avinter and spring. The West will rejoice with the East on the eve of November 4th.
