New York, Nov. 1 (by Ed. L. Keen).—The presldentml campaign came to an end today for the ma- jority of the party candidates and’ they all made ready to await the verdict of the largest number of voters that has ever registered for ah American election. Twenty-nine million ballots will be cast tomorrow if all g¢f to the polls. - Of these, nine million will be votes of women who constitute the unknown quantity of the equation. If the women's vote divides along party lines following that of the men, the republicans are confidént of vie- tory. Hewecer, if the women be swayed by the democratic appeal for votes for the league of nations on the ground that it will keep America out of war, the result may surprise those experts who figure on a repub- lican land slide. Accurate forecasts of results were made most difficult by the fact that the farmer-labor and socialist parties seem likely to poll very large votes. Socialist leaders were predicting the biggest vote in their history for their candidate, Eugene V. Debs, who will await returns in the Atlanta peni- tentiary, where he is serving a sen- tence.
