INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Nov. 7.—Un- usual quiet prevails throughout In- diana on the eve of the election. The Republican leaders refuse to change that Roosevelt and Fairbanks will carry inaian& by plu- ralities variously estimated at from 20,- 000 to 35,000. Democratic leaders con- ently assert their belief that Parker &and D; s will be successful in Indiana but refuse to give figures. The Democrats are also of the opin- ien that John Kern, their gubernator- ial candidate, will run ahead of the na- tional ticket; that there will be much change in the complexion of Indiana’s representation in Congress and that the next Legislature which, if the Repub- lican national ticket is successful, will elect two United States Senators, will be Democratic. Republicans scoff at such opinions, | contending that the next Indiana Leg- | islature will be overwhelmingly Re- publican and that two Republican Con- | gressmen from the Sixth and Twelfth districts will be added to the present number of nine. J. Frank Hanley, Re- publican candidate for Governor, is sanguine in his expectation of election..| | He is of the opinion that his reported connection with legislation inimical to their prediction adversely. At Republican State head- quarters it is belleved that Hanley will poll a vote equal to that of the national ticket ‘When asked to-night for a last word concerning the outlook Democratic Na- tional Chairman Taggart replied: “Indiana is reliably Democratic and Republican State Chairman James P. Goodrich sees a Republican majority of 30,000 and the re-election of a Republi- can Legislature. It is conceded that the Prohibition but this contingency is not ex- pected to give either the Republicans or Democrate an advantage. The Popu- list vote is expected to exert less influ- | ence than previously. Harry S. New returned to-day from | Republican Western headquarters at | Chicago. He will vote to-morrow and | return immediately to Chicago, where | he will receive the returns. In an in- terview to-night he said: “I honestly believe that we shall car- surpassing that of 1800. We shall elect the entire Republican State ticket and carry both branches of the State Leg- islature. We shall certainly elect nine Congressmen, and I am confident of electing two more. I think Gilbert has got Robinson beaten in the Twelfth dis- trict. “I think Roosevelt will not have few- er than 315 votes in the electoral col- | lege, and I shall not be surprised if he | gets 320. He will surely carry Connec- ticut and New Jersey. Chairman Cor- telyou has left Nevada out of his cal- culations as a Republican State, but I am convinced that Roosevelt will carry it. The chances are in our favor in New York. If Parker ever had any chance he destroyed it by his actions in the final hours of the campaign.

WILL RETURN TO REGEIVE Washington Deserted on Eve of Election —_— WASHINGTON, Nov." 7.—A few hours before the balloting in the Pres-| | tal practically deserted of qualified | electors. From every department of the Government hundreds of officials | and clerks have gone home to vote, em- | bracing the opportunity afforded by the election to take at least a part of their annual leave. Among Government em- ! ployes the interest in the contest has been greater than in any election for many years.

A special car for the accom- | modation of the President and his par- | ty will be attached to the regular Penn- sylvania Railroad train which willx leave here for New York at 12:30 a. m.

The# President will remain in Oyster Bay only long enough to cast his ballot, returning to New York in | time to catch the 1:14 p. m. train for ‘Washington. The party is scheduled to arrive here at 6:16 o'clock in the| evening. RETURNS AT WHITE HOUSE. Returns from the election will be re- ceived by the President at the White House. He will have as his guests such members of the Cabinet as may be in| the city and a few personal friends. In addition to the returns by lelegrsph{w and cipher at the Executive Mansion, messages and bulletins also will be re- ceived in the President's library at the White House. Special wires were strung to-day, connecting the main office of the West- ern Union with instruments placed in the library and one of the corps of operators in the executive telegraph bureau will be on duty at the State Department. Communication may thus be secured by the President with any city in the country. National Chair- who will be at head- quarters in New York, will keep the President and his friends advised of the returns as they are received by him. At the headquarters of the Demo- cratic, Congressional Committee at the Riggs House, Secretary C. A. Ed- wards will receive the returns from various States and from Democratic national headquarters in New York. A big torchlight procession and a serenade to President Roosevelt has been projected by the local Republi- cans in expectation of his election. BETTING GROWS BRISK. At the headquarters of both the Re- publican and Democratic headquarters to-night the- utmost confidence is ex- pressed as to the outlook. This con- fidence is substantially expressed in the betting on the result which has been heavier in Washington than ever. The odds on the general results are § to 1 in favor of Roosevelt and Fair- banks, but many wagers have been made at shorter odds. - The interest of the bettors centers in New York, and large sums have been wagered on the result in that State. Odds of 2 to 1 have been offered by Republicans that Roosevelt would carry his home State and they have been accepted eagerly by Dmocrats. Many have been re- corded on the result also in Maryland and West Virginia, but Republican money is as scarce on the former State as Democratic money is on the latter. A final personal word from Republi- can and Democratic leaders has been sought to-day by many people in Washington. As a result National Chairman Cortelyou, National Chair- man Taggart, Willlam F. Sheehan, Charles F. Murphy and Senators and Representatives in Congress from both political parties are being quoted wherever political discussion may be in vogue. WASHINGTON, Nov. 8.—President Roosevelt left Washington at 12:30 this morning for his home at Oyster Bay, L. I, to cast his vote at to-morrow’s election. With him were Secretary Loeb, Dr. C. F.

Plurality for Roosevelt Will Exceed Three Hundred Thousand. PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 7.—Penn- sylvania to-morrow will return the usual large Republican plurality for the national and State tickets.

DENVER, Colo., Nov. 7.—Despite | the tense feeling resulting from : 1 indications point to a peaceable elec- | tion throughout the State, with the; possible exception of Teller County, | where Republicans and Democrats ac- i cuse one another of having planned | to provoke trouble. Largely attended meetings were held to-night in the leading cities and towns and enthusiasm on both sides reached a high pitch. Governor James H. Peabody made his final ap- pearance in Denver, and on the plat- form with him, in the Coliseum, was Former Senator E. O. Wolcott, who | made his first speech of the cam- paign, indorsing all the Republican candidates. Alva Adams, Democratic candidate for Governor, closed his canvass with a speech in Central City, the Gilpin County mining center. Neither side has modified its claims, but Republicans and Democrats alike agree that Roosevelt and Fairbanks will get many more votes than the other Republican candidates. On application of the Democrats the | Supreme Court late to-night appointed | watchers for all precincts in Huerfano County and fourteen precincts in EI | Paso County. At a conference of the Democrauc and Republican chairman and offi- clals of Teller County this afternoon an agreement was reached regarding the appointment of deputies and con- stables to serve at the polls to-mor- row, which, it is hoped, will avert the danger of a clash between armed forces in the Cripple Creek district. Two Republican vouchers were ar-| rested at Cripple Creek to-night on the | charge of perjury sworn to by a young man who, though under age, was regis- | tered. The men arrested vouched for his qualification as a voter. | Mayor Shockey to-night issued a | proclamation ordering all saloons and other places where liquor is sold to re-| main closed from 6 o’clock Tuesdam morning to the same hour on Wednes- day morning. 1t is reported to-night that a hundred | or more members of the Western Fed- | eration of Miners who have been ab- sent from the district, either through/ deportation or otherwise, returned to the district late to-night. They were headed by former District Attorney Cole, a deportee himself. It is feared that their presence in the district may lead to a conflict between the opposing elements. | ERIESIOND S ADDICKS MAY BE BEATEN. | Delaware Democrats Hope to Oapmre the Governorship. i WILMINGTON, Del, Nov. 7.—The campaign just closed in Delaware was one of the most complicated in the history of the State. Both the Demo- crats and the Republicans claim they will carry the State for their respec- tive national and State tickets, but indicatlons to-night point to Re- publican success by majorities under those of four years ago. The Addicks and anti-Addicks Re- | publicans, who had separate State' tickets in the field, but who agreed upon a compromise list of candidates, expect to elect their ticket, headed by Preston Lea for Governor. Joseph H. Chandler, the gubernatorial nominee of the anti-Addicks faction, who re- fused to withdraw in favor of the; compromise ticket, is running inde- pendently. Because of this defection Democrats feel they have a chance of winning the Governorship and are making every effort to bring out the vote to overcome the split Republican | forces. i CORTELYOU TOO MODEST.

CHICAGO, Nov. 7.—The national | headquarters in this city were prac- tically closed to-night, all of the of- ficlals having left for their homes.

SAN BERNARDINO, Nov. 7.—Word was received here to-night that the body of Roy Jeffers, the young man who disappeared from Highland, near | thls city, a few weeks ago, has been | found in a lake near St. Louis, Mo. The | body bears marks of violence. Jeffers had been in the employ of the Brookings Lumber Company here for some time, and when he had saved up several hundred dollars he left, with the avowed intention of returning to his parents at Greenville, Ky. Some days later an inquiry was received from the parents in Kentucky asking what had become of the young man. | This county was searched from end to | end, but no trace of him was found. Jeffers was one “of the most popular | young men of this section, and the| news of his untimely death has been| received with general sorrow.

The entire Long Island system was tied up for several hours this afternoon and late at night the trouble had not been overcome. The new switching device that re- cently had been installed was out of working order and the railroad officials endeavored to get the 100 or more men, who had been relieved from duty to return to their switches. This they re- fused to do and the result was that thousands of Long Islanders were com~ pelled to remain in the depots or to seek their homes by some circuitous route. President Roosevelt on his way te Oyster Bay will have to pess through the yards which to-night were badly blocked. One of the officials of the road said, however: “The President will not be delayed. We will move his train through.” e CONNECTICUT ESTIMATES, Republicans Expect a 15,000 Plurality for the President. NEW HAVEN, Conn, Nov.
