By Radio to The Star and Chicago Daily News. ROME, November 2.—Reports of jubllation meetings Monday in prac- tically every city, town and village for Premicr Mussolini’s escape from assassination shows surprisingly ittle disturbance. In some towns ex: cited Fascist bands attempied to fire buildings which are regarded as centers of the opposition, but usually were prevented by the police and the fire departments. Secretary Turati of the Fascist party, in an address to the militia, an- nounced that the death penalty now proposed for any one attempting to ass nate the Duce or members of the royal family will be extended to all persons assisting and encouraging them. Mussolini’s personal ai Roma, urges the Fas calm. “Only the Duce,” it says, “has the right to praise or blame. If we really sh to serve the Duce and Italy, we must maintain the utmost pur life and repress personal passions.” All the remeining opposition news- papers in_ Fome—the Democratic Mondo 2nd Risorgimento, and the Republican Voce Republicana—have been suspended. The same thing has nappened to the Liberal Stampa of Turin. The Pope’s statement that Premier Mussolini enjoys the special protec: ion of God is widely echoed through- out Italy. It is pointed out that Gari- baldi enjoyed a similar reputation for magic intangibility. His opponents helieved he caught bullets in his hand and threw them back. Mussolini to- day is regarded more than ever as a man preserved to do great things. (Copyright. 1926. by Chicago Daily News Co.)

No echo of the political tumult breaks the calm of the family home at Predappio, near here. His wife and children claim the undivided at- tention of the premier, although he occasionally telephones to his aides to learn important developments, or glances at some of the thousands of telegrams, including scores from the members ' of the royal family and gher notables which are pouring in FASCISM’S FUTURE STATED. PARIS, November 2 (P).—Mu: lini's death would not kill Fascism, but would only exasperate it,” say Alfrredo Rocco, Italian minister of Justice, today in the Petit Parisien.

VOTE IN BALTIMORE HEAVIEST I YEARS Over Half Total Registration Cast Before Noon—Both Parties Predict Victory. k. Md.. November one-hal the regls Balttmore of 198.077, of whom 174,487 are white and 23,590 are colored, had been cast. Clear weather is also bringing out a heavy vote in the counties, accord- ing to reports reaching campaign headquarters here, and the voting gen- erally is far above normal. Chief interest in the election centers in the fight between Gov. Albert C. Ritchie, who is seeking his third term, and Addison.E. Mullikin, his Republi- n opponent, and the contest between Senator O. E. Weller, Republican, seeking re-election, and Representative Millard E. Tydings, who is serving his second term as Representative of the second congressional district. Both Parties Confident. Chairman of both parties are con- fident of success at the polls today and gave out jubilant statemen Galen L. Tait, chairman of the Re publican State central committee, forecast that the campaign of “‘reason, to the Republican camp,” while How- ard Bruce, chairman of the Demo- cratic campaign committee, said he had ‘“never seen the Democratic pros- pects look better,” and that he was confident of the res Gov. Ritchie s fident of gaining voters of Maryland were too intelli- gent to be misled by the falsehoods which had been put out by the Repub- licans about Conowingo. Addison E. Mullikin, the Repub- lican gubernatorial candidate, is just s optimistic as to his success, and “I am confident that a majority of Marylanders has determined upon a change in the administration, and I expect to he elected by a substantial majority.” ‘With the closing in the city first official returns are not expected to_reach the supervisor of elections’ office until about 8 o'clock, on account of the large ballot.

Feverish activities by many candi- dates and some scattered charges of frregularities or threatened _irregu- larities in the voting attended the wind-up of the campaigns last nicht. Accompanied by Robert Wagner, the Democratic senatorial candidate, Gov. Smith made a series of speeches on his native heath, New York’s east side. His Republican opponent, Repre- sentative Ogden L. Mills, made his last appeals on Long Isiand, while Senator Wadsworth spoke in com- munities near his own home town. Smoot Campaigns Late. Senator Smoot and his Democratic opponent, Ashbury Snow, also carried their campaign beyond sundown, while Idaho, Oklahoma and other States e 2m was {ollowed. open ohargé of vote ying Seuator Butlars tlom 1 1o Semator’s u’nt his per- |clal sonal friend, Semator Willlam M. But- ler, in the contest against former Sen- ator David I Walsh. The President not only departed from his policy of ngn-intervention in the contests in the States publicly to indorse Mr. Butler, but also made an overnight journey from Washing- ton to Northampton personally to cast his ballot for the man who conducted his campaign for the presidency two years ago. d Charges of political corruption brought into unusual prominence the campaigns in half a dozen States —Pennsylvanlia, Illinois, Indiana, Ore- gon, Washington and Arizona. The inquiry by a special Senate commit- tee into conditions in the last-named State was carried forward almost to the time of the opening of the polls. Because of a possible relation to the presidential year 1928, campaigns! in New York, Maryland and Ohio held more than their customary share of the political spotlight. Gov. Al Smith, whose long battle for the Democratic presidential nomination in 1924, is historic, agaln is putting his political future to test in the Empre State. The governor, however, did not alone hold the center of interest in New Yorkk’s heated contest, as Senator Wadsworth found himself in a three-cornered race, with his power in the Republican State organization challenged because of his stand on prohibition. Atlee Pomerene seeks to regain in Ohio the Senate seat he lost four vears ago, and should he succeed many political dopesters believe he would loom as a figure on the Demo- cratic presidential list. In Maryland, Gov. Ritchie, who drew a scattering vote at Madison Square Garden in leaders declare they will be in a position to know the result.
