LEADERS GIVE STATEMENTS
Republicans, Democrats and Pro
gressives Tell Why They Will Win.
GOV. 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.

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.

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

Echoes of the Balkan war are being

Postmaster General Hitchcock has been

He adds that tlte fiostal administration

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.

SWINGING OF HUM
BACK TO THE PRESIDENT
Confidence in His Re-Election
Expressed in Letters to the
White House.
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?

C. Newman of Huntington. W. Va.. in

A letter from Jenks E. Davis of Oska

"I am one of eight brothers, ail na

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. Private reports that Pope
Innocent IX received about the queen's
flirtations with princes of the church

being entirely covered with old lloniton
lave, while the skirt, which wis hiKli
waisted, was outlined around tho waist
and hem with orange blot^oms. Th<
court train was composed of P.rus.s. i.
lace.

IX5NDON. November 2.--The Earl an
Countess of Granard have l?-ft their
charming house in Ilaikin street for Ca
tle Forbes, their Iri sh s? at, to which the*,
are both devoted and which Lady Granard
has done so much to beautify and in?
prove. Lord Granard will resign i?is pu
Sition as master of the hdrse at til -
earliest opportunity. It is a government
appointment and h?- onl> consented to
take it originally because h< was the
only suitable man available.
He is now keep.ng it at the earnest re
quest of Mr. Asquitli, so as to give the
premier time to find some one else. Lord
Granard was a very acceptable choice to
his majesty, who especially requested
him to take the position, at any rate for
coronation year, when a second rate per
son in such a position would have been
very undesirable.
King George quite sympathizes with
Lord Granard in his lack of interest in
horses. The king has long wished to ;i\v
up his racing stables and has now d. < id. d
to do so. Eord Granard is not even a
member of the Jockey Club and does not
