ADDRESS WILDLY APPLAUDED Marysville, Kan., Nov. 2. W. J. Bryan concluded his campaign before an enthusiastic audience here tonight. It was the last political speech, his address at Lincoln being nonpartisan. His pero ration was delivered writh all the earn estness at his command, and as he de clared that he had given an impulse to honest politics and helped to create a wntiinent in favor of reform, ho was wildly applauded. Mr. Bryan spoke jn part as follows: ; "Ladies and gentlemen, 1 am now forty-eight years old. It is eighteen years since 1 began my political career for Congress. I told the people of my district if elected I would not try to get their hands jnto other people's pockets; that 1 would simply try to keep-other people's hands out of their pockts. For eighteen years this thought has run through e'very speech and act. I h've tried to apply to the government the .leffersonian maximum of: 'Equal rights to all and special privileges to none.'

Definite information was received last night at Republican state headquarters to the effect that electoral tickets bear ing the name of Leumar W. C. Blalock at the head are being circulated through out the state, and especially in the rural districts, the purpose being to have these tickets, used in the place of those bear ing at, the head the name ot t nomas Settle, candidate for elector-at-large on the Republican ticket. Voted cast for Blalock would be thrown out at the polls and this is the object sought to be accomplished. In' commenting on this matter last night, Spencer 6. ' Adams, chairman of the Republican committee, said: "The Republicans will carry, Xoitli Carolina at .tomorrow's . election, provided they can get a fair count, and this they pro pose to have, so the use of these fnke tickets will be without avail to the Democrats.'' Going into the details of the cam paign, Judge Adams instanced the fact that Senator Simmons and Mr. 'kitchin, together - with others - of lesser light, have, made a canvass of the state and have riot had very large audiences. "Mr. .Kitchin realizes, the fact," said , the judge, "that he has denouueed Senator Simmons in the past, while Senator Sim mons realizes that he has denounced Mr. Kitchin. Of course, everyone realizes that whether Mr. Kitchin is elected or hot, Senator Simmons is on the outside of the breastworks. The most humili ating part of the entire performance, for , a .North Carolinian, is tint Mr. Kitchin has whipped Senator Simmons to a ' atandstili, and that the Senator does not j realize the fact. I "Senator Simmons said in a speech at Asheville recently, as reported in all of! the Democratic papers, that I, as state chairman, did not want to see any Re publican elected to Congress from this state. I will impart this information for ., his especial benefit: .The, , Repub licans of North Carolina will elect three congressmen and possibly six. They would , elect . more if be were the candidate for the Senate instead of Sen ator Overman, who has made a most excellent record at Washington. This may be 'for some satisfaction to Senator Simmons, and he may make the best of it" - ."After his speech at Asheville1 we have nothing more from him until- he reaches Lumber ton, Robeson county. He there tells the people that the campaign I have been making is one of misrepre sentation. Possibly the senator had a talk with Neill Archy 'McLean '.before 'he nvule that speech. Mr. Melan has shown up the villainy of the officeholders of that county and could give the sena tor some important information. ""Senator Simmons is in this prejien ment: Had the Democrats anyone to oppose him two years ago he would haft-e been defeated. If he were the candidate this time, there is no -telling what the Republican majority would be. If the Republicans carry North Carolina, and this is extremejy probable, of course Senator Simmons is at an end political ly.' i If. Mr. Kitchin is elected governor, Senator Simmons is inevitably lost. He (Continued on Page Two.) GREATEST PARADE IN HISTORY IN HONOR OF TAFT Start!

Mr. Hitchcock at West Newton. Mass,, and .Mi'. .Mack at Buffalo. For-Mr. -.Hitchcock the end of the cainpmkii ineails a rest for the first time since he was sent out to round up Taft delegates to the Republican national convention last spiing. Mr. Alack gives up his preelection work with the sat isfaction, his associates pay, of having brought, the Democratic party into greater unity than' for many years past, lie has conducted a vigorous campaign and says lie believes the party to be in a better position to win the election than at any time in its history. Mr. .Hitchcock will return tomorrow afternoon to receive the returns. Mr. Mack left for 1 !u ffa lo shortly before ten o'clock and will also be back in the city tomorrow night. The polls in New York l ily will open at six o'clock tomorrow morning, and close at five p. m. The same rule holds throughout practically every part of the state, and the indications are that the New ork state vote will be the first to be flashed over the wires tomorrow night, as giving an indication as to how the. election is to go. This, at leace, will lie true of the counties and cities outside of fireater Xcw York. oling machines are extensively used up the state, and the result will be known almost as soon as the polls close. It was said that four years ago Krie county, in which Buffalo is located, first told President Roosevelt ofhis approaching victor. The count of the vote in New- jork city, Brooklyn and surrounding boroughs is likelv to be slow and long delayed. ; The end of the campaign tonight found Mr. Taft and Mr. Bryan still on the go, and if apathy should be apparent in the volume ot the'vot through out the country, it will be no waiilt of theirs. They have both traveled many thousands of miles and have spoken in more than a score of states. New Y'ork, Indiana and Ohio have been the scenes of the greatest, efforts of the two candidates, and naturally the returns from these states will hold the great est degree of interest. What effect the Independence party, organized by William B. Hearst and j in the national field for the first t "ie this 'parties is a matter of conjecture. The Socialist leaders, basing their chums upon the receptions given to Kugene V. Debs, are confident they will poll a greater vote than ever before.

'"If conditions are 'normal throughout the country tomorrow 1 expect to see my forecast verified. I conditions are otherwise in certain sections, my lorecasf may be reduced, but I rather, expect it will be-increased." Before leaving for Buffalo tonight, Democratic ( hairman Mack gave out a final statement claiming victory for Bryan and Kern, lie asserted that Xcw York state would give the national ticket a pluralitv fit .iO.OOO and that Ohio and Indiana will surely go Democratic, lie declared that the -.party would carry most of the ''doubt fill states and in addition would carry some states tlicv have not. claimed.
