MAINE LED THE WAY; NATION 70 FOLLOW New York Parade an Indication of How Votes Will Be Oast Tuesday. WILSON'S WINDUP GLOOMY New York, Nov. 6.—(Special Tele- gram.)—Voters of Manhattan Island, marching in thousands up Fifth ave- nue for more than six hours last night | made an incontestable demonstration that this state is for Hughes, and gave their significant and unmistakable answer to the rainbow claims of the democrats about carrying New York and the election for Wilson. Not since the great sound money parade in the McKinley campaign, twenty years ago, has there been such a political demonstration in New York," or, for that matter, in the United States. Sixty-five thousand Manhattan voters swung a'}ong in time to the music of blaring bands. They had to step right in order to get through with the parade by Sunday morning, and even at that, although they mn;ched at a pace that suggested a race, it was half an hour past mid-| night when the last organization had | reached the point of dismissal, and the great Hughes' parade was over. Democrats Chasing Dreams, It was a striking contrast to the Tammany-Wilson parade that also marched down the same avenue only two nights before, numbering less than 15,000, including almost 3,000 boys, and requiring less than two hours to display the democratic en- thusiasm for Wilson, than 65,000 and the ing for ask There were more Hughes voters in the republican pa- rade last night, and everyone of them . may be counted on to go to the polls on Tuesday and cast his ballot. The Wilson parade was typical of the clos- ing days of the Wilson cmmfliln. all sound and fury. As their fight has waned, the democratic claims of vic- tory have grown to incredible and ab- -surd propc.tions, until this morning they come out with an alleged “esti- mate” that shows conclusively they | are still thinking and talking in terms of 1912, and have been unfblg to recognize the fact that this is 1916, and that the division which made Wil- son president four years ago is healed. Wilson Windup Foosles. President Wilson's last stroke in his own behalf was tinged with the hue of failure.

But if you ask him All Signs for Hughes, That is the situation on the eve of election. Every reliable and re- nsible indication throughout the campaign has pointed to tlie over- whelming election of Charles Hughes to the presidency.

Mr. Stérling estimated the total vote for the state at 1,800,000, in- cluding about 700,000 women, who are allowed to vote for president, but not for ‘governer. Miss Harriet Vittum, | manager of the woman's department | at republican headquarters, thought that 500,000 would cover the feminine vote in this state. The official long-range weather forecast from Washington of possi- ble rain November 7 in the region of the great lakes, evoked the usual com- ment of “democratic weather,” but re- publicans received the prophecy with compostre.

The soldiers of the Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and South Carolina units are among those voting for president. It is a matter that has been settled by the legislatures of individual states.

OREDIT TO ADVERTISING “Information coming to our league within the last month foreshadows the defeat of prohibition,” said J. B. Haynes, who has done the publicity work of the prosperity league. “Scores of newspaper publishers throughout the state with whom we have done business have reported from time to time the change of public sentiment respecting the proposed amendment. These reports have been voluntary. In addition to them, our representa- tives, whose business it was to ar- range for meetings for our speakers, have for a month brought in similar reports, based upon conversations with leading men in many cities and towns of the state. From these and | other sources, our league has received | predictions of victory from men whose judgment is entitled to consideration. “The league’s analysis of the situa- tion leads to the conclusion that the advocates of high license and local op- tion in the up-state counties will come to Douglas county with a majority of not less than 10,000, and it may ex- ceed 15,000. Add to this the conceded majority in Douglas county, which cannot be less than 15,000, and is more, likely to exceed 20,000, and we have a clear total majority against the amendment of 25000, at the lowest possible estimate. . “Our league has conducted the most extensive newspaper campaign of edu- cation ever done in this state, and the defeat of the amendment will be large- ly due to this fact.” Fidelity Officers Asked to Explain A supplementary petition citing of- ficers gnd directors of the Nausonal Fidelity and Casualty company of Omaha to appear before Judge Day to show cause why they should not is- sue notices of a meeting of the stock- holders on November 13 has been filed with the clerk of the district court. The stockholders hold that they have not been given notice of the meeting. The petition was filed in the form of the state of Nebraska, on the rela- tion of Governor John H. Morehead, Willis E. Reed and William H. Smith, acting as the state insurance board, as plaintiff, against the fidelity and cas- ualty company, defendant.
