Cltlms and counter claims, with flashes C6lditlrae political enthusiasm, marked the conclusion of the campaign in tho Utei of the central West today. S-'Mytery os to the trend of the tre WBd6is woman vote was reflected In many eleventh-hour discussions of the gtftkral situation. It was stated on all rides that tho woman vote, together jth expected ticket seratchins in nu merous districts, very llfely would delay teturns and create uncertainty where !eritots were close. i Reports from the various states indi cated that In virtually all districts steps have been taken to guard against frnud nd tecurb quickly any attempts to In timidate woman voters. In many in stances the usual number of workers ad watchers will be doubled or tripled. J Last-minute appeals to voters were Jinde.by managers of the three pr ; ncl mI 'gubernatorial cnndldntes in Illinois 'where a campaign of a. bitter turn has been In progress. ,r "I will be elected by a vote in excess of G0.000," said former Senntor .Tnmei Hamilton Lewis.

' While Democratic lenders In the va rious states expressed confidence thnt there would be no break in the "solid Pouth." the Republicans, who hnvc con ducted an unusually vigorous campaign, toys they expected to make nn unprec edented showing and predicted that the Republican nominees in scvernl con gressional districts would be elected. The Republicans hnvc wnged a light to capture seat3 in the lower house of Congress wun particular vigor in uie Third Louisiana district, the Third (lis trlct'of Arkansas, the Seventh Alabama district and in the Secoud' and Ninth ' districts in Virginia. t Democrats claim Governor Cox will carry Tennessee by n 40,000 majority. Although Republican lenders have not .been clniming the state for Senator Harding they have been predicting vie tpVy for their gubernatorial nominee. Normal Democratic majorities were claimed today for all of the party's can didates in North nnd South Carolina, George. Florida and Mississippi. " Baltimore, Nov. 1. Maryland is ' about to give the Republican candidates tot President and vice president its Jtvtoral vote. Democratic leaders are convinced the outlook is hopeless. At least fifteen of the twenty -three counties in the state will join Baltimore city in rolling up a majority that may not bo less than 10,000. i So intense is the feeling against the Bati6na! administration that it would not surprise the Republican leaders in the, state if, in the sweep, every can didate on their ticket was borne to vic tory.

South Philadelphia &-!). SHOULD ELECT GALLAGHER THERE is a square-cut issue in the First Councilmanic district. It is whether the administration is to be" supported or whether the efforts of those who are doing their best to prevent ' the Mayor from carrying out his plans for the better, government of the city shairbe indorsed. . Charles J. Pommer is the Vare candidate for ttje vacant seat in Council. He is a tipstave in one of the courts. He has been a petty officeholder for a number of years in one department or -another. He has demonstrated no particular ability save the ability ,and willingness to- take orders and to obey them. He will be a mere dummy for the Vares in the Council. But his vote will be as obstructive as though he were the ablest man ever named for office. Not even his best friends make any such claim for him. James Gallagher is the anti-Vare, pro-administration candi date, with the nomination of a group of independent Republicans, and the patriotic indorsement of the Democrats. He is a success ful business man with a mind of his own. He manages large affairs. He has an appreciation of the duties and responsibilities of a councilman and he is well fitted to carry the responsibilities and perform the duties. The election of Gallagher will be like taking into the director ate of a great business corporation a man fitted by training and abilities to participate intelligently in the conduct of the business. The election of Pommer would be like promoting to the directorate of a bank a messenger to whom in the past nothing more important has been intrusted than the carrying of a bag of securities from one bank to another. a If the people of South Philadelphia wish a real representa tive in the Council to whom they can go with confidence that they are dealing with a principal they will elect Gallagher by an overwhelming majority Tuesday. If they wish a man who will be merely a messenger for some one else they will elect Pommer. No one need take seriously the talk about police intimidation of voters in South Philadelphia at the instigation of the Mayor or his friends. There will be no such intimidation. So far as the police can be controlled they will be used to protect every voter in his right to cast his ballot without interference. But it is by no means certain that members of the force under past obligation to the "Vares will not do what they can to prevent a free expression of opinion on election day. They will do so at their peril, however, for the Mayor is aroused and determined to give the people an opportunity freely to go to the polls unterrified by any open or covert threats that they will suffer for their actions whejther they vote for Pommer or for Gallagher. South Philadelphians began some months ago to break the stranglehold of the Vares-upon them. They have an opportunity Tuesday to continue the good work. The above editorial is reprinted from the Evening Ledger of Saturday, October 30. To vote for Mr. Gallagher, mark an X after his name the last name in the last column on the right hand side of the ballot. r'... ' ... '- .'. j,' Lrtitj&eMkvMlitLM -..-.. ,xk.fow.' fr.&3:&--: -1!
