GOLDSBOROTJGH PRAISED Even Opposition Party Admits He Has Taken Steps to See That Ballots Are Fair. Special Dispatch to The Star. BALTIMORE, Md., November 2.?With the republican, democratic and progres sive leaders all claiming victory Tuesday, the campaign In Maryland closed tonight with meetings in practically every coun ty and all over Baltimore city. Here are the claims of the chairmen: Chairman John B. "Hanna of the re publican state central committee: "The tremendous sentiment that has swung toward President Taft during the past few weeks has convinced the republi can workers that Maryland is safe for the ticket. The Taft sentiment has been apparent In the democratic ranks as well as among the republicans. We know that President Taft is away in the lead on the state republican vote. Thousands of democrats have also assured us that they will vote for him next Tuesday. The reports from every section of the state are coming in more and more encourag ing. Roosevelt will get some democratic votes and these will cut down Wilson s strengtii without injurin* Taft. Republi can votes for Roosevelt only count a#; half votes for Wilson, while democratic votes for Taft reduce materially Wilson s strength and pile up Taft's vote. 1 am * on\ inct-d that the people of this state are too much alive to the danger of a democratic administration ending the present prosperous times to do anything but vote for Taft and this aids in his re-election. With three candidates in the held, it is most umikely that anv of them will get a majority and the victory will have to be registered on a plurality I am convinced that Taft will get that plurality in the state." Expects to Carry" Baltimore City. ! Chairman John J. Hanson of the re publican city committee: The republican city committee has conducted a clean, dignified and ag gressive campaign. We have not in dulged in personalities. We have made the campaign on a record accomplished and policies executed, which have re bounded to the benefit of the country, and which, if repeated, will mean the continuation of our present national prosperity. J do not believe the Ameri can people can possibly be influenced - thp candidates and parties calling one another liars and thieves. We have attempted to keep awav from this phase of the campaign, and to conduct a campaign of education. I am convinced that the employers and employes, realizing the protection that has been given invested capital by the national administration, will decide next Tuesday that a continuation of this protection*can best be brought about bv the re-election of President Taft. Believing this, I am confident that the employers and workers will stand shoulder to shoulder next Tuesdav and send President Taft back to the White Mouse. We have made substantial gains in Baltimore city during the past two weeks, and I believe President Taft s plurality here will be not less than -\000." Claims Maryland for Roosevelt. 'hairmat Edward C. Carrington. jr., of the progressive party: ' "Yesterday I claimed Maryland for Roosevelt by H.500 plurality. Now I am convinced that he will carry it by even a thousand more. Roosevelt will also be elected. Taft will get lO.OOO votes in Maryland from conservative democrats who label themselves democrats in local e ectlons. but w ho fear a democratic President, and who always support the republican nominee when there is a pos sibility of a democrat being elected Roosevelt will pet from 15 to 25 per cent of the rank and tile of the democrats. This will cut Wilson's vote in Maryland down to about S0.0OO. The rank and file of the* democratic party are at heart for protection. They remember tlse hard times and low wages of t'leveland s administration. They are now going to vote for a candidate who believes in protection and who can beat Hi son. That man is Roosevelt. Prom To to wi cent of the republican party in the state will also vote for Roosevelt This will give Roosevelt a good plura'.fty in Maryland. This is the same senti ment that is found in the north, west, and far west, and will mean Roosevelt's election. Taft will not carry a singe ward in Baltimore city or a single coun ty in the state, with the possible excep tion of t'alvert. We concede I'tah to Taft. but he wil! carry no other state. In ?'onnecticut I)ebs will beat him bv from l.l.imo to ?jo.ooo plurality." f hair man Alfred A. Moreland of the progressive city committee: "Roosevelt will cafr^Baltimore city by ?' comfortable plurality. Nobody knows Just how great his plurality will be. but we are convinced that he will win here." Wilson Will Win, Say Democrats. Chairman Murray Vandlver of the democratic state central committee. According to the reports we have been receiving during the past few days Gov. \\ iison's majority in Maryland will be not less than S.ooo 1 am confident that his plurality will be around 25,w>. The state is entirely safe for Wilson, and Baltimore city wi.l aiso give him a ma jorlty." < "halrman Daniel J Koden of the demo cratic city committee: ' <;<>v Wilson s majority in Baltimore c!t> wi;i h*. a Fafe one His plurality will be better than 7,00t?. These figures may be doubled. All our local congres sional candidates will also be elected by comfortable majorities." I? is generally admitted that the real right is between Taft and Wilson, with the chances slightly in favor of the demo cratic candidate. It is admitted, how ever. that the sentiment for Taft has t>. <i growing at a lively rate during the ? .-k, and there are close observers who assert that the President has more than t lighting chance to tarry Maryland nex! I lesday. The result depends entirely upon the conservative and business ele ment of the democratic partv. As this ? lem.-nt sha I vote next Tuesday so whl ?40 the state. Machine Hard at Work. The democrats of the organization stripe have buckled down to work during the week, and are putting up the pre tense of working for Wilson, even if they do not deliver the "ring" vote Tuesday. I he machine leaders are In a corner, be cause they know that should Wilson fail (O carry the state the Wilson leaders will place the blame upon the machyie And they also know that these same pro gressive democrats will square accounts with the ring one year hence, when a I'nited States senatorship and the legis lature is at stake. It is the first time in the history of Maryland politics that the organization has found itself compelled to work for the old-time enemy the silk stocking independent element of the party. The Indications tonight are that Rep^ resentative Covington idem.) will win |n the first district, Talbott tdem.) in the second, Konig (dem.) in the third, Ldn thicum (dem.) in the fourth. Parran (rep ) in the fifth and Lewis (dem.) in the sixth There Is a possibility that the democrats may carry the fifth district, also, because it is feared that the bull moose adherents will cut Parran. Prince Georges county I is in bad shape for the republicans, be cause of the large sentiment for Roose velt, and on this the democrats are bank ing hopes of pulling Frank Smith across a winner. Governor Watches Ballots. Gov. Goldsborough, though campaigning In Wicomico county today, is keeping in close touch with the ballot situation throughout the state. Today he notified the election supervisors of Frederick county that the ballots there must be changed so that the electors will not I be split. Democratic state headquarters I received a verification of this order this afternoon through Secretary of State. Graham, in Annapolis One of the governor's party also noti fied political leaders in Baltimore this afternoon of the report that the election supervisors of Wicomico county had found flaws in their ballots, and that these are to be reprinted at once. The elec tion law provides that the ballots must be printed a certain number of days before the election takes place, but it is generally conceded that this phase of the law can be disobeyed In the effort to have proper ballots. Another report heard here this after noon was that the election officials in Worcester county had arranged the bal lot so that eight blank lines head the first column on the ticket. These blank lines are placed on the ticket'to permit the voters to vote for independent candi dates. If this arrangement is illegal the .Worcester ballots will also have to be reprinted. Several democratic leaders conceded this afternoon that there was no real ground for complaint regarding any of the bal lots except in Frederick. They have ibeen forced to concede that the gov ernor's earlier promises to have fair ballots have been carried out by the chief executive to the fullest extent of his ability. BALLOT IS RIGHTED Gov. Goldsborough Acts in Frederick County Case. CHARGE OF TRICKERY MADE Democrats Accuse Republicans of Trying to Aid Candidacy of Arthur Willard. Spei-ial Di*i>au-b io The Star. CUMBERLAND. Md.. November 2.? Gov. Goldsborough took prompt action today toward straightening out the mat ter of the alleged trick ballot in Fred erick county, and tonight Representative David J. Lewis sent the following tele gram to Robert P. Graham, secretary of state, Annapolis: "I thank you for telegram and appreci ate the prompt justice of the Governor of Maryland." Last night Representative Lewis wired Gov. Goldsborough from Frederick, where he addressed a meeting, complaining that the ballot had not been corrected as previously ordered. The democrats of Frederick charged trickery in two instances, one that the word "democrat" following the names of Lewis for representative, and Worthing ton for associate judge should read "democratic," the same as the word following the name of the electors on the Wilson and Marshall ticket. The other was that the grouping of the candidates for House of Representatives and judge was wrong. Grouping Allowed to Bemain. When the secretary of state, who or ders the arrangement of the ballot, wired that the wording and grouping of the ballot conform with the law, the correc tion was made in the word "democrat" by adding "lc," but the grouping was allowed to remain as originally arranged by the supervisors. Another telegram was then sent to the governor and he Instructed the secre tary of state to wire the Frederick county supervisors to correct the wrong grouping. Representative Lewis, when he arrived here today, found the following telegram from Secretary of State Graham await ing him: "I have notified the election super visors for Frederick that wrong grouping of candidates should be corrected.'' It was in reply to this that Mr. Lewis" thanks to the governor were sent. Instead of placing the names of the candidates for House of Representatives i and judge the last on the ballot, and , near the end of the iast column, they had been sandwiched between the clfc tors of two parties in the first column i of the ballot Democrats Allege Trickery. ' The democrats charge that the alleged ( trick in grouping- was to help the can didacy of Arthur Willard for associate judge. The republicans, the democrats claim, have centered on the election of Willard, and the presidential and con cessional fights are secondary with them. Judge Motter, the Frederick county republican leader, it is stated, is most concerned in the election of Wil lard as his successor, and the republicans are straining every point to bring that al?out. Dr. C. II. Conley, chairman of tiie state central committee for Frederick county tonight sent Mr. I^ewis this telegram: 1 ??Election supervisors refuse to alter ar- : rangement of congressional and judicial candidates as directed by secretary of state. What do you want done? Wire me at once." Representative I-iewls forwarded the contents of Dr. Conley's telegram to 1 State Chairman Murray Vandlver, re- < questing him to act In his behalf, leaving to Gen. Vandlver what action should be taken. COLONEL AFTER SLEMP. Urges Followers to Defeat Republi can Candidate for Congress. Special Diapatc-h t'> The Star. RICHMOND, Va... November 2.?Col. , Theodore Roosevelt today sent a tele- j gram to his leaders in the ninth congres- ( sional district calling on them to u?e , their every effort to accomplish the de- , feat of Representative C. Bascom .Slemp, j the lone republican representative from f Virginia. Col. Roog>evelt gave denial to i Slemp's claim that he 'Rooseve t) was j not opposed to him (Slemp), and that s Roosevelt did not regard Walter Gra- i ham as the progressive candidate. In characteristic language Col. Roose- J velt call* on every man who believes that < the theft of a nomination is as crooked and corrupt as the man who ?<teals a purse to go to the polls and vote againsft Slemp, "who helped to rob me of my rights at Chicago," and to elect Graham to Congress The Roosevelt appeal was a bomb in ' the Slemp camp, and he and his followers arc alarmed. Slemp has not yet declared for Roosevelt or Taft. WAR ECHO HEARD HERE. Postal Authorities Notified of Change in Turkey's Mail Service. Echoes of the Balkan war are being heard at. the Poet Office Department. Postmaster General Hitchcock has been officially advised that the exchange o>f closed mails and the money order and parcels post services between Turkey on the one side and 8ervia and Bulgaria on the other aide have been discontinued. He adds that tlte fiostal administration of Turkey has announced through the International Postal Union, under date of October 10, that the exchange of mails and the parcels post service between Tur key and Montenegro have been tem porarily suspended. r Secretary Fisher Only Cabinet Officer Here Election Day. OTHERS IN HOME STATES Two of President's Advisers Unable to Cast Ballots. NOT ON REGISTRATION BOOKS Government Departments Largely Depleted and Members of Con gress Out of the City. At the close of the political campaign tomorrow night Secretary Fisher of the Interior Department will be the only cabinet officer in Washington. The Sec retary will be "sitting on the lid" over election day, principally for the reason that his long trip to Hawaii prevented him from registering in his home ward in Chicago and therefore he is deprived of his vote. ? His inability to vote the republican ticket is being shared by Secretary Nagel of the Department of Commerce and La bor, who, while campaigning several weeks for President Taft. far from his home, was also unable to get back in time to register. Two Officials in Washington. The close of the campaign finds Wash ington practically deserted by all high government officials. President Taft, after voting in Cincinnati, will not return to the capital until next Thursday. Mrs. Taft and Miss Helen Taft. who are at the Manhattan Hotel in New York for a few days, on their way to Washing ton from Beverly, will hear the returns in that city, Robert Taft. the President's eldest son, will hear them at Harvard, and Charles Taft, his younger son, will hear them at Horace Taft's school in Connecticut. ?Secretary* Wilson of the Department of Agriculture will vote at his home, Traer, Iowa. He has been campaigning in the middle west. Secretary Kno? will return from his western trip in time to vote in Pittsburgh, and the assistant secretary of state. Huntington Wilson, will vote in Chicago. Secretary Stirnson will vote in New York, as will Attorney General Wickersham, Secretary Meyer votes at Hamilton. Mass., and Assistant Secretary Winthrop at Jericho, Long Island, in the Oyster Bay district. Where Others Will Vote. Carmi Thompson, President Taft's sec retary, after his speaking tour in Ohio, will cast his ballot at his old home. Iron ton, and Lewis L. Lavlin, assistant sec retary of the Interior, at Columbus. As sistant Secretary Allen of the Treasury Department has gone to Vermont to vote and Assistant Secretary Curtis will vote in Boston. That part of official Washington which does not vote remains in the attitude of an interested spectator. Government de partments always are partially depleted on election day. Virtually every member of Congress is out of Washington. Most of them have been in their home districts looking after their fences during the cam paign. There is no national headquarters of any party in Washington, and, with prac tically all officials out of the city, old observers predict the coming election day will be quiet. WILSON NOT DOUBTFUL ' OF ELECTION VERDICT Democratic Candidate Points Out Issues Before Voters of the Country. NEW YORK. November 2.-The follow ing statement by Gov. Wilson, democratic candidate for the presidency, was is:.ued today through the headquarters of the national committee: "The issue is now clearly made up and ;oes to the people. I. for one, do not loubt the verdict. The voters must take ine or another of the three choices. Voters' First Choice. "First, intrust the government to t.ie regular republican party again, which ilways begins a campaign with promises sf action and then always, at the end iraws back and warns against change, ireading to attempt anything at all for fear it should not satisfy those who con trol credit and whom it has so long per mitted to act as trustees for the people In every matter of policy. "Second, place the guidance of their affairs in the hands of men who are searching about for some new way in which to perform old duties, all along plain and imperative, which can easily be performed without the invention of new methods?for example, without shift ing the whole energy and initiative of the law to the executive branch of the gov ernment. The Third Alternative. "Third, go forward, without postpone ment or experiment or confusion, to effect the reforms which the whole country waits for and which all parties profess to believe necessary, through the instru mentality of a great established and un divided party, clear and explicit as to its ?purposes; willing to effect them by the ordinary process of legislation; will ing to be guided by the common council of the nation as a whole, the plain people with the rest; regardful of every interest the little as well as the big, because t is connected with every interest by ?ympathy and comprehension and soberly letermined to obey the voice of thoupht Tul men everywhere by a carefully con sidered course of moderate yet courageous -eform. "The mere statement of the cho'ces s a prediction. We shall trust our selves and let the little groips of discoverers who would have us vest our powers in them learn, in their turn and at their leisure, to trust us also." TUTTLE S COMET SOON DUE. Will Reappear in January After Ab sence of Years. Tuttle's periodic comet is due at peri helion early in January, 1913, after an absence of thirteen and a half years. This comet was first discovered by H. P. Tuttle, IT. S. N., in 1JC>8, and last ob served in 1809, though faint because of its distance from the earth. This year, in December, it will pass comparatively near the earth, so that it ought to be easily found. Astronomers at the United States Naval Observatory are much interested in the return of this comet, inasmuch as it was discovered by Mr. Tuttle, who was tnen a member of the observatory staff, though long since retired from active astronomi cal work. It is stated that the Tuttle.comet will move across the sky very rapidly from 50 degrees south In December. At it's nearest approach. If the calculations are correct. It will be about 17,000,000 miles from the earth. MK This Solid Oak * Cos turner. The Strong, Sub stantial Kind. MiEcaiNc. LIBERAL CREDIT 311 Seventh Street Opposite Saks & Co.

From many parts of the country let ters were received at the White House yesterday predicting the re-election of President Taft next Tuesday. J. I... Feeney, former president of the Cent: ul Labor Union in Washington writing from Decatur, 11.., said: ? The worklngmen do not want Wilson and free trade, and are tlocking back to ihe republican party. Thousands of la boring men who were for Rooseve-t a month ago have come over to the Tafi aide." Ohio Loyal to Taft. The manager of the opera ? house at Teirace Park, Ohio, wrote: "Do not bi ieve any leports you may hear tha; iCoosevelt or Wilson wi.l curry Ohio There is nothing but noise in such it ports. My business gi\es me a chance to feei the puiSo of the people, and in popularity and preference you are avva. in the cad." The President has been advised tlia it tne supper of the Men's Club of tu?

John It. McFie of Santa Fe, X. M.. telegraphed tne President: "Rememberin0 vour loyalty in our struggle for state liood. New Mexico fully expects to give iou her electoral vote Tuesday, and to elect a republican to Congress. C. Newman of Huntington. W. Va.. in a letter, said: "I am a traveling man, and have my widowed mother and sister to look after. We appreciate the pros perity wh.cli a republican administration lias brought the country, and my informa tion i? ads me to believe you will carry this state.*' A letter from Jenks E. Davis of Oska loosa, Iowa read: "I am one of eight brothers, ail na tural born republicans who will vote for you. I think you will carry Iowa." ' Old Parties Lining Up. W. Higgins of Bartlesville, Okla.. a member of the Grand Army, writes, "There has been an active pulling away from Roosevelt in Kansas, Oklahoma, and southeastern Missouri, back to Taft, and of democrats back to Wilson, who is not gainging any republicans, while Taf: is getting democrats among the business men. farmers and laboring men. The democratic leaders are desperate in fear of defeat, and 1 believe we are going to give the democratic party the first Water loo in Oklahoma. All the old soldiers here arc now in line for the republican ticket. I have authority from a friend in Kansas to make a bet that Roosevelt won't carry Kansas." William Wallace Brown, commander of the G. A. R. post at Bradford. Pa., in a letter said: "At least 05 per cent of the old soklieis here are for Taft. Three months ago the situation was quite dif ferent. and I feared at one time that the majority would follow Roosevelt. Two things have united to turn the tide, the signing of the pension bill by the Presi dent. and the desertion of the republican party by Roosevelt." CAMPAIGN Hy OVER, COL ROOSEVELT RESTS Will Make Two Speeches Mon day to "Home Folks" of Nassau County. OYSTER BAY. N. Y., November a.? "It has been a great campaign," said Col. Roosevelt tonight. "I don't know that* there has ever been a campaign like t in this country." The work of the campaign was almost at an end, and Col. Roosevelt gave little time today to politics. There remain jnly two speeches Monday, to the "home o.ks" of Nassau county, which the colonel desires to make largely for senti ?nental reasons. Monday afternoon he will go by automoolie lo ..llneola, tne county seat, and in the evening he will ;.piak to his fellow-townsmen of Oyster nay. Miss Frances A. Keller, a member of the progressive execut.ve committee and head of the New York state bureau of in dustry and immigration, took lunch today at Sagamore Hih, and talked over with the colonel some of the progressive party's proposals for improving social and industrial conditions. Miss Keller was tne only visitor. Part Played by Women. Miss Keller's visit prompted Col. Roose velt to say that one of the features whic! had interested and pleased him most in tiie campaign was the part played by women. In states in which they have no vote, he said, they had worked with no less zeal than in the equal suffrage slates, and he believed their influence would have a considerable bearing upoi. the outcome. One result of the particlpa tion of wdmen, he went on, had been to modify the old "rough and tumble" po litical rallies, and he spoke of the pres ence of large numbers of women at tht progressive campaign meetings and ol the "Jane Addams Choruses" which sang at meetings at Chicago, Los Angeles and several other cities. Although Col. Roosevelt still is far from having recovered his normal strength and was somewhat fatigued when he re turned from New York last night, he arose fresh this morning and took a. walk lasting nearly an hour. ? SCANDALS REVEALED E Real Reason for Closing of Vatican Library a Year Ago Is Disclosed. Special Cableirriini to Tbe Star. ROME, November 1!.?In connection with the reopening to the public of tlie Vatican library, perhaps the most impor tant and at the same time the richest collection of manuscripts in the world, which has been closed for nearly a year, a story is told that throws some light on the extraordinary precautions to protect the pontifical archives from the prying eves of the 6candal monger. At the time of closing the authorities said the unusual step was taken because the library needed overhauling and the Vatican secret printing office needed more room. Also steel shelves were to be in stalled to protect the priceless documents from fire. Facts just brought to light, however,, indicate the real reason lies in the fact that on several occasions stu dents have been discovered abstra< ting or copying secret historical documents that might cause dangerous complications if made public. Documents Were Published. The attention of the authorities was first called to this by the publicatipn in France and Germany of documents relat ing to the private life of several royal personages whose love affairs were the subjects of elaborate reports by papal nuncios, particularly in the ca.?e of Chris tine of Sweden, who resigned her right to. the, throne to live in Rome surround ed by a court of cardina s, poets and philosophers.
