The Democrata not under th wiro
yesterday with the official forecast of tin
National Committee, sinned by Chairman
William V. McComtm. Whllo he won about
it Mr. McComlm Raid that WIIhoii i likely
to carry vcry Slate, nml certainly. ht
insisted, not loon than forty of the forty
clht. "Wilson and Marshall," mlil Mr
MoComfa, "will have tho lnrpent majority
of electoral vole Riven to any candidate
nine the civil war. and the largest popular
vote ever Riven to a political party In the
United Ktaleo A unanimous vote in the
electoral college will not Kurprlso any
majn who hae rtcn the confident report
to headquarter in the laM days of the
can pa ten."
Ho foresaw nloo a Democratic House
nnd Senate. He xald that the combined
opiHwition In the Hotiye would not be
mcro than 100, and that in the Senate the
Democrat would cnin more than the
ten Mat neccwary to wipe out the
Republican majority.
"Tho same tcntlment that In nweepinR
Wilson Into executive authority will
hack him up with tho legislative xjwer
to' do the thine tho people demand."
the national chairman went on. He thus
analyzed his hopes:
lXIniatc of the popular rote cannot
approach accuracy ullhout taking Into
consideration the difference between thW
and preceding Democratic campaign.
Heretofore effort have been confined to
a comparatively mall number of doubtful
Stales. Pennsylvania and Vermont, for
example, were neglected a. hopelely
Republican, and at the same time erent
Democratic Stat like Texas and Cieorgla
were not Invaded at all becauoe they were
ure to be found in the Democratic column.
This year the Democratic committee ha
waged a determined and active campaign
In every State In the republic. In the
Mates that have been consletenttv In the
Democratic column the full vote 1 not
aenerally polled In the Presidential cam
paign. But thla year the committee ha
urged Democrats In theae States to poll
as large a vote as If the result depended
upon registering tha full Democratic
strength.
There la not a suggestion sf a break In
the Democratic column from Texas to
Maryland, and yet the committee ha de
voted more attention than usual to these
certain Democratic States. It has needed
and has received from these States larger
subscriptions to the campaign funds than
ever before. Indeed, the Southern State
had never before, except in IMS. been ap
pealed to for campaign funds. Thl year
most of them have contributed liberally
and, Democratic Interest has been ttimu
tared by these popular aubscrlDtions.
In the nominally Democratlo State
niaon mua .iiarsnau win not only Hold th
usual Democratlo vote but they will In
crease their popular vote by a large pro
portion of Southern Democrat who here
tofore have stayed at home because their
votes were not necessary for the party to
win.
At the same tlms the fighting ground
In the North and West has been swept
with Democratic sentiment and thers the
Wilson vote will be larger than the Demo
cratic vote of iiiui. while the Ilepubliran
vote will be divided.
Democratic victory in November was
foreshadowed In September when the
Democratic vole In Vermont lncrraiel
per cent, over l!HH, while the combined
Republican and third term votes fell o
per cent, below the Taft vote or 1808. The
Maine result wan equally significant While
the combined llepubllran and third term
forces managpd to elect h Governor by
3.013 plurality, the Democratic vote exceeded
the September vote In ipoa hy i.ixk), while
the Republican vote fell of j.ouo with

Democratic victory will be u ccrtulnty
Senator Dixon, the Itooevelt manager,
aid that tho ratal error in all I vino
cratio estlmute i the assumption tlmt
Wilson will poll the Hrvan vote or litos.
He did not heitate to say that Hooch
velt and Johnou will sweep Oih nig
imdustrial centre
"Aa Lincoln wa elected by a minority
of the total vote." said th- Senator, "so
on Tuesday the Mictvsrul candidate
for the Presidency will probably poll
less than a majority vote. Approximately

Senator niton tlioujtht it "most con

of four yearc aKo and not less than 15
per cent, of the Bryan vol That beitiK
true, the Senator said, HooMvelt will
carry New York State by Bi.ocm, and
will have 297 electoral vote - thirty-one
more than he neetl.
"The failure or the Tart organisation to
place any candidate for Tee-lreident
on tho ticket demonstrate their utter
demoralization in the face of impend
ing doom and disaster " added St-tutor
Dixon.
Charles F Murphy, who In other year
has Botnetime set down ins prediction
in figures, contented himself yesterday
with these generalities:
This has bean one of the moat Interesting
and significant campaign in our lil-tory

i the title of n scries of tables especially
interesting nt the present moment, pub
lished in the Statistical Abstract of tho
United States Issued bv the division
of htatistics of the Mureau of KorelRn
and Domestic Commerce, Department
of Commerce and I-nbor.
Thcs-e tables, occupylns several pases
of tho Abstract, present the official record
of the vote cast in each Presidential
election as far back as official records
are available.
The total vote cast for Presidential
electors has grown from 11,31, 408 In
1SSS to 14,887,133 In 190S. .Tills Indicates
that tho vote of 1008 was about 30 per
cent. greater thai that of 1SSS. An ex
amination of tho total in each of the
elections during that twenty year period,
however, shows marked rtuctuation in
tho number of vote cast and in the in
creases during the four year periods from
one election to unother. Tho total vote
of 1S92. for example. 12,0t3,Gi3, is a Rain
of about 0 r cent, over that of lSdS,
and tho vote of l!s9, 13.S13.243, is nearly
la per cent larger man tjiat oi isv.

thun that or 1000, while that or 1008, 14.&S7.
133, i about- 10 tier cent, in excess of
that of 1004. Should the percentage
of gain in 1B12 be as great as that shown
by tho vote of 100S the total number
of vote eat would considerably exceed
sixteen million.
The vote cast for the candidate of
the Prohibition party show very slight
changes, having been in 1S88, 250,125;
in 1S92. 271,058: in 1806. lM.UTtl; in 1000,
209,160; ill 1904. 250,257: Hlld in 190S,252,6t3.
The Socialist vote, which first appeared
in the oflicial records of 18UU under the
title or "Socialist Ibor," was in that
year 30,434; in loon SoeialUt, 94.768; Social
ist I.abor 32.751; in 1904 Socialist 402,(60;
Socialiet Ijibor 33,724: and in 190S So
cialist 420.S20; and Socialist Labor 13,825.
Die Ponuhst vote, which first, makes
its appearance In the record in 1892, was
in that year 1,027,329; in 1896 it was merged
with the Dcmocratio vote under tho title

therefore be separately stated: in 1WW
it was 50,232; in 1904, 114,75.1; and in 1908,

STRAUS SORE HE HAS
E
Candidate Will Have No Ite
Sfrcts, Even Thotih De
feated for Governor.
A GREAT MORAL MOVEMENT
Intends' to Devote Much of His
Time Hereafter to Human
Froblctna.
Oscar S. Straus told a Sun reporter
yesterday that whatever la the outcome
of tho election ho will have no regrets
ft from his campaign as candidate on
the Progressive ticket for the Gov
ernorship of New York State.
"On the contrary," said Mr. Straus,
"I feel that I have never been engaged
In a more righteous cause than this; so
strongly do I feel this that I have en
tlrely eliminated my own personality
In the struggle. I flatter myself I have
advanced tho cause."
Asked If the Progressive party could
survive a defeat at the pejls this year,
Mr. Straus sold:
"History will take little notice of this
campaign- Rather it will take note of
the great moral movement to establish
coclal Justice In a democratic republic.
.1 c imo nuinuiH ill nun iiiu t . incut mu
teachers, the ministers, the professional
men and Lincoln's plain people, and
when these elements are In combina
tion they always win."
The Progressive candidate took Issue
with the published statements of one
of his rivals that he 'is "a very unfit
person for ofllce becnuso of his com
plete lack of knowledge of actual politi
cal conditions." He said:
"You know the old saying, 'It takes
a thief to catch a thief.' But It isn't
necessary that a man should degen
erate into a politician In order to be
able to Judge men and to select persona
who possess character and fitness to
serve tho State.
"I have had considerable experience
In practical affairs. I began the prac
tice of law in the office of the greatest
Jurist the country has produced atnee
John Marshall, Charles O'Cenor. After
that I practised In an office of my own
for ten years. during which time I
was counsel for the Chamber of Com
merce before the Hepburn committee
to investigate State railroads with a
view to exposing their discriminations
and for the drafting of laws to correct
those abuses.
'My record In Washington U well
known. Where can either ef the other
candidates show even a fraction of ad
ministrative experience comparing with
mine?"
Mr. Straus said Wa notion of the
qualifications of a good Governor was
mat ne should have "honesty of pur
pose, freedom from ,boss control, a de
termination to serve the people and a
determination also to apply straight
forward business methods to the con
duct of the affairs of the State."
The Progressive candidate declared
that whether elected or not he pro
poses to devote his energies under all
circumstances to the furthering of some
schemes of his own for the betterment
of social conditions not contained In tho
Progressive platform.
"I favor the minimum wage for all
workmen," he said. "I believe that is
fundamental In working for reform for
the benetlt of the wage earning class.
I would devote more attention to the
need of protecting all the people from
the ravages of preventable disease.
Take tuberculosis -for Instance. This
can be prevented, as my brother
Nathan, In whose work I take the
deepest Interest, has shown.
"I believe the time has come when
we should focus our attention more
specifically on the human problems a
distinct from the commercial problems.
Human problems had formerly mu;h
more attention paid them when indus
tries were small and manufacturers had
comparatively few workmen with whom
they were personally acquainted. But
with the large extension of manufac
turing since the civil war the tie be.
tween the employer and his workmen
bus ceaed to b a human tie. This
tie we must restore by giving the work
men the same care and attention under
specific law. as they enjoyed In another
form under the primitive conditions I
luive described."
.Mr. Straus took a day eft yesterday
after the hardest week of campaigning
he has yet done. He saw only a few
people during the day and took a long
nap late In the afternoon. He Is to do
some speaking to-day, one of his prln
clpal meetings being the Hull Mnoie
rally at Cooper I'nlon.
The candidate will receive the election
returns on Tuesday evening at his
home, 6 West Seventy-sixth street.
HOSPITAL DIRECTORS ANGRY.
Tell Oscar "Iraaa Their Prraldeat
Mlarepreaeatra Tkeaa.
Oscar. R. Straus received a visit yester
day from a committee of the board of
directors of the People Hospital, at
103 Second avenue, who said that they
wished to protest against a letter recently
published In the New York newspapers
una signed, among omer people, ny .11,
urvetu.tum, president oi tne i-copie s
Hospital, in which Mr. Straus was asked
to withdraw in favor of Mr. Sulzer.
Tho directors were Abraham Gold
schtnidt of (iohlschmldt A Co., manu
facturers nt West Twenty-flint street;
Charles Ktirzman of Ktimnan Bros., ex
porters of butter at 538 liroome Btreet,
and Max Welnstein of Woinsteln Bros.,
cloak manufacturers at 131 Spring street.
They told Mr. .Straus they objected to
having the trustees and dlietora of
their hospital "dragged Into politics' and
"represented as being against the candi
dacy of Mr. Straus." They spoke also for
tho other members of the board, who are
of the same opinion tut themselves, they
said.
Mr. 8traus thanked the protestors
warmly and soothed them by declaring
that the publication of the letter had dona
him no harm with East Side, voters.

S0MMER SPEAKS FOR TAFT.
Newark's Ki-Sherlfl nUlenlea Nen
Tarty' Claims,
Evidence that all tho Now Jersey
proKreftalve Republican voters antl loaders
are not In sympathy with tho RoosoV4tlt
tloket wan the appearance on the stump
in Newark Saturday night of ex-Sheriff
Frank H. Sommer, who dolivored a
; stirring speech in favor of Taft's ro-
eleotlon and justified his own course In
refusing to leave the Republican party.
He took the position broadly that the txwt
plooe to combat the ilia that may have
beset the party Is within the organization
and not by desertion to another party,
which at the most can only result in 11 divi
sion of the old Republican voto.
Mr. Sommer waa one of the founders of
the New Idea wing of the Republican
party in Now Jersey. He wan elected
Sheriff of Essex oountr on the New Idea
ticket In 1005. when Kveritt Colby wan
elected State Senator. When the general
defection from the Republican party
waa made by the Progressives in New
Jersey Mr. Sommer waa ono of the few
eadcrs who remained in the ranks of the
old party.
In his speech Saturday night Mr.
Sommer said:
In the past I and mr colleague have
said everywhere that we were making our
fight within the ranks of the Republican
party nnd so far as I am concerned I will
adhere to that poller. I do not retract from
what I formerly advanced. I have been
told that I should desert the old standard
and rally around the new herauso of a
fraud at Chicago. 1 have examined page by
page and line by line In an effort to ascertain
the truth the records of that convention,
and I freely say that In all except two In
stances I would have cast my vote in the
National Committee and voted In the con
vention precisely as a majority of the mem
bers cast their votes. If the men In that
convention are to be branded as thieve 1
am ready likewise to accept the brand.
ho make the charge? Thoe who have
calmly lnvetlgated the proceeding of the
convention? No. They are those who went
Into the convention to accept Its rortune.
I am never willing to accept the Judgment
of a defeated party and I do not now. One
of the reasons advanced to convince me that
I should do so Is because my party 1 bo
ridden. There Is talk of Penrose and I.orl
mer. But the party threw them out.
what of the new party? There Is Fllnn
of Pennsylvania, and young Quay, son of
old Quay of Pennsylvania, and young
llanna, son of old Manna of Ohio. They aro
not bosses, but by some magic have be
come sanctified leaders.
ADMINISTRATION HAS BEEN
A BIG SUGCESS, TAFT SAYS
President in Final Word Urges
Continuance of the Party
in Power.
President Taft on his departure last
night for Ohio to cast his vote on Tues
day gave out the following statement:
On the eve of the national election It la
suitable that a short summary should be
made of the reasons why the Republican
party la entitled to support. That party
for four years has been responsible for the I
administration or the Government and ha
left a record of success In effective and
efficient executive administration and of
legislative accomplishment that 1 not sur
passed by any administration since the war.
It has changed a deficit of more than
fifty millions of dollars to a surplus of more
than thirty millions ot dollars by Increasing
the revenue and by reducing governmental
expense.
Its achievements In legislation ihow that
It has made definite progress, so far as
national legislation can produce prorre.
In statutes looking to the aid and relief of
those classes In the community who have
had reasou heretofore to complain of the
unjust operation of the las governing
their relation to employers and to the com
munity at large. The modern tendency
to use governmental agencies to better
the general condition of the people by giv
ing an equal opportunity to all has been
fully recognized In this legislation and
practical steps have been taken to patlify It.
The Republican tariff legislation of the
Congress of lUOs w bile not perfect has
actually reduced excessive tarifT rates and
has yet retained the protective feature
which have been so Instrumental in creating
industrial prosjierity And this AdmliiL
tratlon bad already taken steps to secure
a fslr means by a tariff commission of fur
ther reducing and readjusting the tariff
Hlthin tho limit of proper protection to
our Industries.
The antl-truat lawa upon ths statute
book have been enforced without regard
to peron ami thout fear or favor, aud
the reultlug decrees, ir allowed to hae
their normal operation, lll tend to re'.ore
competition aud will reuiova the oppres
sion that tho statute waa passed to prevent,
In this view ot what has been done in the
last four years the Republican party should
not now be turned out or office. Its prom
ises have been complied wltb, real progre
has been effected, and its conduct of the
economic policies of the Oovernment has
been such as to make It poislble for the
coiiutty to enjoy and prolong the wide
cpread and growing prosperity now at hand
Again, if the Republican party Is turned
out or office hat party I to succeed?
Ona or the opposing partle was scarcely
four months ago a part or the Republican
party Itself. It has adopted a platform
attacking the exlating Constitution or the
country, promising an attempt to destroy
the independence ot the Judiciary, and
proposing measures which would sap the
foundations ot representative democratlo
constitutional government. It offers to the
public a programme ot supposed benefits
which are not within the ability ot a national
party to accomplish and offers remedies for
alleged evils In our present conditions that
are Impracticable and Inconsistent with
each other. The so-oalled Progressiva
party Is necessarily a minority party. A
vote tor It cannot tend to establish Its power
or Its principle, but can only be a vote
against the Republican party and for the
Democratlo party
The Democratlo party declares la favor

or a tariff for revenue only and holds that
a protective tariff Is not only unwise but
also unconstitutional. The changes pro
posed hy the Democrats may fairly bs
Judge by the bills passed br the Demo
cratic majority In the last Congress which
I vetoed as President. These bills would
so have affected the industries covered by
their term as seriously to Impair their
value and Drosncrlty. Mr. Wilson, the
candidate of the Democratlo party, has
matte so many different and differing state
ment ns to hi attitude upon the tariff.
with a view to avoiding the charge that a
Democratic administration means an Inlurr
to Industrial prosperity, that it Is Impossible
to tell what his attitude Is, but It Is not
unfair to say that it Is In accord with that
of the majority of hi party In the last
Congress which I have Indicated.
The experience In the history ot the
country In 133 and 1M4 will be recalled,
when a period ot great prosperity waa
succeeded by a period ot great depression la
the buslnes ot our country. This was due
to the threatened and actual change from
a tariff for protection to a tariff for revenue.
It oqght to warn every business man, every
workman and every farmer who counts
upon the home market for the sale or hi
products to cast his vote to retain the
present administration and to defeat the
effort to put Into force the economic views
of the Democratlo party which. It successful,
will halt the coming of prosperity, paralyze
business and repeat the severe experience
of the years from 103 to 17. The country
should not he plunged from a condition or
business certainty and comparative con
tentment to one or doubt and anxiety.
ANTI-THIRD TERM FIGHT.

Ti'AsitiNrrros'.Nov. 3. If Col. Roosevelt

will go to work at once to prevent a
recurrence of his candidacy In another
campaign. This organization Is the
National Antl-Thlrd Term League, of
which ex-Senator Henry W. IJIalr of
New Hampshire Is president. The
league has Its headquarters In the Colo
rado Kulldlng In 'Washington. In the
campaign Just closed Senator Blair has
carried on a fight against the third
term. He organized the league before
the Itepubllran convention at Chicago
and had done some effective work even
then.
After the election he Intends to dtrect
the league work toward promoting sen
timent In favor ot a constitutional
amendment limiting the tenure of the
Presidential office. Tho ex-Senator be
lieves a resolution similar to the reso
lution Introduced by Senator Works of
California nt the last session will pass.
When the amendment goes before the
legislatures of the States he thinks It
will be ratified. Most of these leglsla
tures, according to the present outlook,
will be Democratic. The Baltimore

POLITICAL
A Non-Partisan Court of Appeals.
Tho election of two candidates to All the vacancies in
the Court of Appeals involves an important non-political
iaaue. Judges Hiscock and Chase, now sitting in the court,
have shown exceptional qualifications for judicial office dur
ing sixteen years of service on the bench, nine of which have
been in the Supreme Court and seven by designation in the
Court of Appeals. They have given entire satisfaction, and
have demonstrated their fitness. If these tried judges, who
are the Republican nominees, be elected, the presentpoiitical
complexion of the court will remain unchanged. If, how
ever, the Democratlo nominees be elected, the court willcon
aiat of tlx Democrats and only one Republican, involving for
the first time, since its reorganisation in 1870, such a pre
ponderance of one political party in its membership. The
candidates of the Democratic and Progressive parties hare
had no judicial experience.
The undersigned deem It their duty as citizens to urge
all voters, irrespective of party, to elect Judges Hiscock and
Chase, and thus continue in aervios jn the Court of Appeals
judges who have been thoroughly tried and have shown ex
ceptional qualification and fitness for the highest judicial
office in this State, and thereby maintain the present po
litical division of four Democratic and three Republican
judges.
