ONE MORE SPEECH ENDS DAVIS FIGHT Candidate Comes to Close of Trail in Better Health Than When He Started. Lir the Associated Press. % NEW YORK, November 3.—The long trail blazed by John W. Davis since Jie began his campaign for the presi- Gency reached its end tbday. Only a motor trip from his home in Locust Valley to a New York studio, where his last political address will be Lroadeast by radio tonight, remained to bring his campaisn mileage to its grand total. All engagements were canceled to permit him to work unmolested at Bome on his address. The plans arranged for the broad- casting tonight call for his arrival at EAF studio at 9 o'clock, the be- cinning of his address at 9:15, eastern rd time, and its conclusion at 45. His cnmpaign started with the £pecch of acceptance at Clarksburg, W. Va., August 9. and continued al- yuost without a halt. Travel by rail- yad covered 17 States and aggre- fated more than 12,000 miles. In all 3¢ delivered 230 speeches, not includ- ing the rear platform talks.

Mr. Davis, however, will emerge from the campaign in better physical condition than he enjoyed before it began. Dr: J. J. Richardson of W ash- jngton, D.

From the standpoint of training yeceived in ways of political paigning Mr. Davis also is said by those who have been with him to have improved. His manner of speaking has become more ferceful. The hesitancy and d which marked him as a speaker at the beginning of the cam- paign have given to qualities aprpoaching that of the veteran holitical orator's style.

His style, however, is still that of the lawyer and his argument is the kind which appeals rather to reason on the part of the listener than to emotion, Letter to Mother. A single exception was made to the program Mr. Davis had outlined for the Sabbath holiday. The exception, it was learned, was the writing of a letter to Mrx. Jessie B. Black of Mansfield, Ohio, the gold star mother who sent him the check for $57.50 which she had drawn from the United States Veterans' Bureau in payment on in- surance held by her son, a World War hero. Mrs. Black’s letter explaining that she had sent the insurance check as a contribution to the Davis' cam- paign fund because her son “would have sent it” was acknowledged, in this way by the candidate: Text of Letter. “Dear Madam: Nothing which has oc- curred during this campaign has more profoundly touched my heart than your action in sending to the treasurer of the Democratic national committee the proceeds of the insurance on the life of your son. 'It is a gift doubly sanctioned by vour love for him and his love for the country to which he was willing to give his life. “To know that had he lived he would have sent such a contribution himself makes me feel that not on | you and 1. but your son also, are still co-workers in the cause of putting forward the coming of the kingdom of righteousness among men and ions. 1 am more grateful than I can say for this expression of your confidence, and whether we win or lose in this election, none of us, I hope, will cease to strive for those high idells which alone can make and keep a nation| great” See Swing to Davis. It was the consensus of Democratic { leaders last night that the “swing to Davis,” said to have been reported by various State headquarters, had as- | sumed proportions of a tremendous ! drift and would be stimulated still further. Particularly was this true, it was said by these officials, of the tuation regarding labor pledges pre- viously given to Senator La Follette and now reported to be breaking in favor of the Democratic nominee, This_opinion was reflected tonight a “final statement” issued by Mr. Shaver. The statement neads: ' { “John W. Davis will be the next | President of the United States. “The issues of this campaign have been squarely met by the candidate in a matchless way. He has shown absolute confidence in the intelli- gence, integrity and patriotism of the American people. There has been no evasion, no camouflage, no flinch- ing. Notwithstanding the overwhelm- ing preponderance of the Republican press, he has broken through the wire entanglements of deception, eva- sion and propaganda. His sterling worth, ability and honesty, the things that go to make a great President, the things that put trust and confi- | dence in government, all these are now before the people and they are thinking. “There/has never been a campaign when there were so many political cross-currents as the one now draw ing to a close. Many States’arc cross- sectioned by- reverse currents that make political estimates worked out into figures worthless, becadse they cannot be based on anything definite. Nearly one-half of the people have shown mno indication of their inten- tions and have expressed no thought or opinion in this campaign. Thou- j sands of these in every State with unsettled convictions will make up their minds or change them after entering the polls.” ANNTAL MEETING OF THE STOCK. of the Hquitable Co-operative Building o aeill be held ‘ar "ue oftice ot the ation. 915 F st. n.w., Washington, D, C., Vedoestny.

BY FREDERIC WILLIAM WILE, This Is the zero hour when canny politicians of all parties are anxious- ly wondering whether the door is not open to the possibility of unexpected election developments. Calvin_Cool- idge’s victory is confidently claimed by the Republican management, con- ceded by all non-partisan political writers, and held probable even by candid Democrats. But close scru- tiny of claims, concessions, analyses, predictions and straw-votes discloses that in nearly all of them are loop- holes, in the shape of outright or veiled admissigns, that eleventh-hour surprises may be frgminent. In politics these surprises are known as “upsets.” They represent the totally unanticipated. They have confounded the prophets in presi- dential elections more than once. The most recent “upset.” and one in most professional politicians’ minds at this moment, was in 1916, when, to the surprise of virtually the whole coun- try, Woodrow Wilson, not Charles E. Hughes, turned out to be the vlctor. There are many more clements of doubt in the 1924 election than there were ecight vears ago, when no third | party vote-getter like Robert M. La Follette was in the field to throw advance calculations out of gear. Sees G. O, P. Victory. This writer shares the widespread expectation that the Republicans will win on Neveinber 4. His own estimate of the eclectoral college re- sult is: Coolidge, 295. Davis, 186. TLa Follette, 50. He assigns Davis the solid South, West Virginia, Maryland, Kentucky. Missouri, New Mexico and Oklahoma. He thinks La Follette may carry sev- | en States—W isconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Mon- tana, Nebraska and Nevada. He con- cedes Coolidge the rest of the coun- try—24 States, exactly half of the Union. Davis, by the writer's esti- mate, gets 17 States. But this final appraisal of the sit- uation requires the expression of an additional belief, namely, that the| most astute politicians in the country 1‘ are pretty much at sea. No one is| more conscious of the danger of “up- | sets” than Mr. Coolidge’s sanguine | managers. _Seasoned politician that| he is, the President himself realizes| that possibility. It will be promi-| nently in his mind tonight when he | issues by radio a non-partisan appeal to the Nation to do its duty and vote. Republican leadersain their franker moments know that not a G. O. P.| vote can be spared tomorrow fin any mistaken spirit of cocksureness. Al i | Conflict of Views. The writer during the week end re- ceived prima facie evidence of the| conflict of view prevalent among so- | called well informed politicians. De- siring reliable indications of the lowa situation, he telegraphed an | standing Republican, an eminent| Dem)erat and a Brookhart lieutenant | for final guidance. Ti~ Republican | “lowa is surely Republican | by 100,000 majority, and a Democrat will succeed Brookhart, provided the Democrats stand by their own man.” The Democrat answered, “La Fol- lette will carry lowa” Brookhart's chieftain said: “I think La Follette | is very likely to carry Iowa, and from long range it looks as if he would get nearly all of the Northwest. Brook- hart's friends claim Iowa for him by | 200,000 majority.” Take the final prognosticatiori of EDITOR OF GERMAN PAPER IS SUICIDE Hans Hackel of St. Louis Was Criticized for Opposing Steuben Society. | By the Aseociated Press. 1 ST. LOUIS, Mo., November 3.—Hans Hackel, prominent German language editor and president of the corpora- tion pubfishing the Westliche Post. was found dead in the Kitchen of his home late last night by his wife as she returned from a theater. Ac- cording to the police report, his head | was resting on an open jet of the gas | range. A note stating, “I cannot stand the strain any longer” was found, police reported. With this remark, his| triends believed he referred to the| criticism he was said to have in-| curred for his opposition to the SlPu.i ben Society, a national organization of German-Americans, during the po- | litical campaign. Mr. Hackel was an ardent supporter of President Cool- idge. Served in U. §. Army. i Mr. Hackel was born in Germany and came to this country more than 30 years ago. He was 55 years old. At the outbreak of the Spanish- American War he joined Battery A of the Missouri National Guard and bécame a volunteer war correspond- ent. Upon his return he was em- ploved on the staff of the Westliche Post in 1899. B Eight years later he was made city editor and held this position for sev- eral years, belng made editor in 1914. When the Westliche Post was sepa- | rated from the Times and a separate organization was formed in 1919, Mr. Hackel was made its president, re- $aining his position as editor-in-chief. | Mr. Hackel was. rated one of the leading German language authors of | the country. His “Operetten-Feld- | zug,” in which he described in a comi- | cal vein his war experiences, and ‘Briefe eines Eingewanderten” (Let- ters of an Immigrant) were two works that received wijest attention. MURDER TRIAL GOES OVER; Case of Slain Policeman Delayed by Juror’s Absence. Trial of three defendants for mur- der of Policeman Raymond T. Leisin- ger, who was shot and killed while riding the rear bumper of a suspected liquor car early on the morning of August 28, was continued until to- morrow morning by Chief Justice McCoy in Criminal Court 2 today. The reason for continuance was the absence of a juror. The defendants are Frederick Groce, Ambrose Freeman and Henry Holmes. Attorneys appearing in the case in- clude James O'Shea, John I.

OF ALL PARTIES one of the most capable, though trankly Republican, foreshadowers of Tuesday's results. 'He assigns Cool- idge 326 electoral votes, a majority of 60 in the college. Yet this same astute observer tabulates 12 doubtful States—Maryland, Missouri, Minne- sota, Nebraska, Washington, - Ari- zona, West Virginia, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Montana, Nevada awd New Mexico, His doubtful total is 89. But any number of other analysts hav. tabulated 16 or 18 doubtful States, totaling an . electoral vote of any- where from 100 to 138. The sig- nificant thing about these estimates is their revelation of expert divergence. If the 1916 election proved to be so close that the vote of a single State (California, 13) was necessary to de- cide it, it is obvious that this years three-cornered contest, which finds a dozen States doubtful in the opinion of a competent Republican observer, is crammed with uncertainty. Many people have forgotten that Californig, which gave Wilson a majority of only 3,806, was only one of a cluster of exceedingly close States. Hughes won Minnesota by only 392 votes and New Hampshire went Democratic by the absurd margin of 56 in a total vote of 77,500. Hughes cafried Dela- ware by 1,258; West Virginia by 2,721 and Indiana by only 6,942 Wilson's majority i nNew Mexico was 2,530, in ‘Nevada 5649 and in Wyoming 6.618. Hughes captured -South Da- kota by only 5,026. Other States, labeled doubtful in 1924, were won by Wilson or Hughes in 1916 by ma- jorities below 17,000. lowa, with no La Follette or Brookhart in the field, was carried for Hughes by merely 58,750. Four years later Harding | carried lowa by more than 400,000 It takes little imagination to realize that with party lines cut into shreds in 1924 “upsets” in States that were close in 1916 are easily within the range of practical possibilities. Elements of Doubt. Two months ago Chairman Butler of the Republican national committee estimated that Coolidge and Dawes would obtain 404 votes In the elec- toral college. The G. O. P. leader's final estimate is that they will, have “more than 350.” What caused Mr. Butler to revise his original figures downward is the knowledge, which | he shares with managers of other! parties, that the campaign has wound | up, for many reasons, in considerable | uncertainty. This uncertainty springs from certain major causes, among them these: . The unexpected dimensions of the La Follette popular vote. 2. The incalculable influence of the Ku Klux Klan in various States—here a Republican asset, there a Demo- cratic asset. 3. The immeasurable size of the “silent,” or independent, vote. 4. The undefined extent to which| the country has been stirred by the Democrats’ principal issue, viz.' “cor- ruption” in the Republican adminis- tration. Mr. Davis' closing speech Carnegie Hall in New York on Satur- day night—admitted by friend and foe to have been the finest effort of | his campalgn—indicates that Demo- | vratic hopes are” pinned primarily, if | not exclusively. on the country's re-| “dishonesty in govern- | ment.” If the Nation is not going to depose Mr. Coolidge on that issue, | Democrats cherish no real hope that | their other big campaign arguments— | {the balance D.C ILA FOLLETTE RESTS |PNEUMONIC PLAGUE AT MADISON HOME Candidate Confident of Elec- tion Result, He Says, After Hard Campaign.

La Follette resting today at his home on Maple Bluft farm, after a month of strenuous campaigning, expressed gratification over late reports from supporters of his presidential candidacy through- out the country.

An impromptu parade cen- tered about his automobile and thou- sands of townspeople shrieked their wclcome along the route to the La Follette homestead, three miles from the city. Pausing at the insistence of the throng massed at the State Capitol, where he was presented to:the as- semblage by Gov. John J. Blaine, Sen- ator La Follette expressed feelingly his pleasure at “being back among all you folks.” He will rest at his farm until after the election Friends besieged the homestead during the afternoon and evening and when the tired campaigner's day was done he had shaken the-hands of more than 2,000 callers. Senator La Follette was accom- panied to Madison by his two sons, Robert jr., and Philip. The latter is a candidate for county prosecutor of Dane County, the first elective office held by his father 44 years ago. ‘Will Receive Returns.

P. Weapon. The Republican campaign has been | aided tremendously by the fear that | the defeat of Coclidge at the polls | means the throwing of the election into Congress. with a period of uncer- ion follow- ng. It has had its effect not only on business men, but on employes. It has been aided also by the inclusion | of the attack on the courts and the proposal of Government ownership of railroads contained in the La Fol- | lette platform. | There has been talk in some quar- | ters of a recent swing to Davis, but | there has been no evidence of it in | the West. The plan of campaign however, in this part of the country. except in Missouri, has been to throw Democratic strength ta La Follette. The contests for control of the Sen- ate and the House. while secondary in interest to the presidential race, are close. The Republicans are hopeful of winning senatorial seats from the Democrats and Farmer-Labor party in Massachusetts, Minnesota, Ken- tucky, Colorado, Montana and Okla- homa. The Democrats, on the other hand, say they will win seats from | the Republicans in Colorado, West | Virginia, Delaware ~Rhode Island. outh Dakota, New Mexico and Wyo- ming. But these are “hopes” for the | most part, and it seems that the con- trol of the Senate probably will con- tinue to lie in the hands of the Pro- gressive block, as it does in the present Congress.
