his final word in the campaign to the country today and

by Democracy. He thanked his supporters for endorsing
his actions and the policies of his administration. He re
peated the belief that the tariff Commission work has
i con perfect and that the anti-dumping act is adequate to

pcan war. In the last message he declares himself fully
convinced that the voters of the country cannot he bought,

McCORMICK SURE
NEW YORK. Nov. tl.—Manager McCormick today
expressed perfect confidence that \\ilson will have a ma
jority of one hundred electoral votes. On the other hand
a million of Hughes money was wagered today at ten to
eight but the Democrats were game and covered every
cent of it. Some of the betting was 10 to 7 on the Repub
lican. It is now generally believed that Ohio, Indiana, Il
linois and Michigan are likely to settle the matter.
RIVAL PARADES
CHEYENNE. Nov. 0—Two rival parades will take
place hero tonight and both sides are confident.
NEVADA DEMOCRATIC
RENO, Nov. C.—The Democrats are claiming a three
thousand plurality for the state.
MASSACHUSETTS DOUBTFUL
BOSTON. Nov. t>.—A Lodge plurality of eight thou
sand is predicted by the Republicans but the Democrats
say they are certain of a Fitzgerald victory. They also
believe Wilson will carry the state.
IDAHO ON LIQUOR QUESTION
BOISE, Nov. G.—The Prohibitionists of this state are
working to secure a constitutional amendment and the
question comes up for a vote tomorrow.
BOTH SURE IN OREGON
PORTLAND. Ore.. Nov. G.—Both sides seem to be
perfectly confident of carrying this state.
UTAH IS JUST THE SAME
SALT LAKE CITY, Nov. G.—The Democrats and Re
publicans both claim enormous majorities in this state.
A landslide for Wilson and his sure defeat are predict
ed at the same time.
NEW JERSEY ALSO DOUBTFUL
TRENTON, N. J., Nov. G. — The Republicans claim
forty thousand plurality in this state and the Democrats
claim a sure twenty thousand.
BRITISH TAKE TRENCHES
LONDON, Nov. (i.—By charging on a front of a thou
sand yards last night the British captured the butte at
Dewarlencourt and drove the Germans from the sur
rounding trenches. The morning’s bulletins do not con
tain news of any other lighting in the west with the ex
ception of artillery exchanges at different points. The
\ erdun area is not mentioned.
ITALIANS BOMBARDING
ROME, Nov. i>.—The Italians are heavily bombard
ing the Austrian positions at Jamiana and are using the
heaviest guns against the town itself. Infantry attacks
during the past twenty-four hours have met with success
and some minor positions held by the enemy had to be
evacuated. _ _
FIGHTING IN ROUMANIA
LONDON, Nov. 6. — The Teutons and Roumanians
are still in deadly grips on the Transylvania border and
just south of it in the Campalung region. In the far
northern passes the Roumanians claim further successes
but the otlicial news contains no information that indi
cates a decisive engagement in any theatre where the
Roumanians are engaged.
IN MACEDONIA
LONDON, Nov. 6.—Fighting continues in the region of
the Cerna on the Greek front but no changes are noted.
No further developments have taken place in the internal
conditions of Greece itself. The Venizelist army has
made some movements but has not opposed the royalist
troops sent to prevent them from committing a breach of
neutrality. Some dispatches from Athens cause the pa
pers here to admit that the king or anti-war party seems
to be still in the ascendancy in the capital.
MARINA CASE NOT SERIOUS
WASHINGTON, Nov. G.—Officials express the opin
ion that the sinking of the Marina, although it involved
the loss of American lives, cannot now be regarded as a
cause of danger to the relations between the United
States and Germany as the vessel was armed and must
probably be regarded as a ship of war.
i WORK MAY MEAN
MILL IN MOOSE PASS
_
'Further development work this fall
on Moose Pass may mean that Ronan
& James will install a mill, tramway
and the rest on their property in
Moose Pass next spring. They have
closed down their arastre after a
season of fair success in work that
was chiefly testing the ore. They are
now going ahead with cross-cut
tunnels on the hundred foot level and
the result of the work on these tun
nel.'. will prove whether or not the
property will make a mine. If the re
suit of the tunneling is satisfactory
Messrs. Ronan and James will go
right on working this winter. The
section generally has shown several
prospects this summer which promise
to develope into mines with further
, work.

JUNEAU, Nov. 5.—A careful can
vass of Gastineau Channel shows

BATTLE IN EVERETT;
I. W. W. MEN KILLED
EVERETT, Nov. 6.—Five members
of the Industrial Workers of the
World were killed and twenty other
members of the same organization
were wounded by shots fired today by
a posse of citizens. One hundred and
fifty of the Workers from Seattle
chartered the steamer Verona to come
to Everett with the plan to storm this
city but Sheriff McRae- Vas notified
and he with a hastily organized posse
of one hundred and fifty citizens met
the steamer and at once opened fire
with the result stated. The casual
ties would have been much greater
had the engineer of the Verona start
ed ’tie engines and pulled out without
a pilot. Th captain had been forced
from the pilot house by the volleys
and the house was found riddled sy
bullets later.
LATER
EVERETT, Nov. 6.—The latest ac
counts say that seven men were kill
ed by the firing of the posse and forty
eight wire wounded, but that the
casualties are far greater is now be
lieved as eye-witnesses declare they
saw six to twelve men fall overboard
from the Verona. The bodies of
those men have not been recovered.
Under Prosecutor Lundin declared to
day that no more street meetings will
be permitted and in future tbe people
listening to street speeches will be
arrested as well as the speakers.

HERALD POLL GIVES WILSON 307
AND HUGHES 224 ELECTORAL VOTES
■ ■—it
(Sunday cables)
NEW YORK, Nov. 5.—The Repub
*
Means claim Michigan unreservedly
but concede a majority to Wilson in
Detroit where the Ford influence is
strong. The Republicans now admit
j ledly fear the woman \ote in van
| ous states. Out of three thousand
women polled in Illinois Wilson got a
seven hundred majority. A Wilson
plurality in Chicago is also conceded
and many Republican leaders then*
! are openiy championing Wilson. II
linois is the real pivotal slate this
time and in that state half a million
women will vote for the first time and
are unqualifiedly for Wilson. The in
dnatiojK' today are that Wilson will
have a substantial plurality in New
! York City but that Wilson will carry
i die state probably by sixty thousand.
1 The state vote exceeds the city vot*
by three hundred thousand. Ohio to
: lay is claimed by Wilson by a sub
stantia! majority. The defection of
dial state is due to the big automobile
industry to a great extent. Slender
: Republican hopes are centered in Wis
, cousin where tin- German vote is now
,n!ulend\ counted for Wilson. Min
nesota is seceding aNo but the Re
publicans are confident of Indiana.
, The deciding states are New York,
; Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan an 1
Wisconsin for it is believed that as
| one of them goes all will go. Con
: necticut is still uncertain but it soemr
to favor Hughes. La toilette has been
of the greatest aid to Wilson by hi;
championing of the Adamson law, the
Underwood tariff and his ignoring of
Hughes altogether, the trend ol the
Dakotas, Iowa and Kansas is decided
! |y Hughes. Colorado i.t Democrati
and Wyoming by a light vote will
(lohahly he Republican. Missouri is
slightly Wilsonian as Roosevelt by
his warlike speeches antagonized
j many Missourians. West Virginia
favors Wilson but the Republicans
count on Delaware. Maryland is un
swervingly Democratic. New Eng
land indicates it will go Republican
but with a reduced majority. It is
now made clear that the great aids
I to Wilson will be the belief that he
| kept the country out of war, that th *
1 Adamson law aided the workers.
Those two facts have had a large in
fluence with the farmers and the la
borers. In some states the Republi
cans are in a panic and are blaming
bad management by the Republican
leaders. Some Republican states are
crumbling. In this state of New \ork
the up-state leaders are accused oi
having been careless. Roosevelt is
much blamed. Some of the national
result observers believe that a real
united Republicanism could have over
come the Wilson lead but Roosevelt,
antagonized thousands in the middle
I west.
CHARGES MONEY POWER
NEW YORK. Nov. 5.—The World
charges that the central money pow
i er is directing the Republican cam
paign by betting on the Republican
candidate with the hope of influenc
ing the result. McCormick is now in
clined to believe that Wilson will
have ,°>60 electoral votes, possibly 416.
| New York, Connecticut and Indiana
may now be added to the Herald list
for the Democrat.
great hughes ovation
new YORK, Nov. 5. — Red fire,
oceans of bunting, thousands march
ing and hundreds of thousands of
spectators were the features of
the great Hughes meeting last
night. Hughes reviewed thirty
thousand paraders and a fifteen
thousand Madison Square Gard
en audience cheered Hughes on his
entrance for forty minutes. Mrs.
Hughes, the three daughters and the
son stood beside the nominee on the
""platform. Whitman and Odder pre
ceded the chief speaker who opened by
declaring that his voice was weak but
his heart was strong. He declared his
confidence to be complete. He cham
pioned Americanism and declared tne
present administration to be unlit.
“You cannot buy, frighten or coerce
labor,” said la*. .Mr. Hughes concha*
ed by promising an American admin
istration.
WILSON ON THE BETTIN(I
LONdBRANCH, Nov. 5.—Wilson
charges that his opponents are at
tempting to coerce labor by filling
the country with alarm. “The Re
publicans once controlled the* finance;
and now they control the betting;
declared the President. He furthei
declared that Democracy offers lead
ership not mastership.
LITERARY DRIEST POLL
NEW YORK, Nov. 5.—The Literary
Digest of November 4 gives a poll oi
thirty thousand of its subscribers in
five states. Hughes is victorious it
New York with 4,335 to 2,085 foi
Wilson. In New Jersey Hughes won
by 3,315 to 1,760. He won in Ohio b\
3,054 to 2,893. In Indiana he was
ahead by 2.572 to 1,615. Illinois wa.
I for Hughes bv 4,062 to 2,290. This
1 is accounted for in a great monsun
' by the fact that readers of the Diges

WILSON LEADS HERALD POLL. |
NxlW YOitk, Nov. In the Her
; r.ld quarter nuiiion straw vote \\ il?oi.
i leads tlu* situation by a delicate hair’s
weight. A turn might take placi
either way by a little impetus and i
Wilson landslide is regarded as possi
ble in the eleventh hour. A markeu j
Hughes drift was shown in tne pivota
state but the Wilson gains were
slightly checked. The total, including
the seventh week, showed Hughe?
with slightly over forty-eight percent
i and Wilson with forty-nine, in tin
I first week Wilson had only torty-two
I but he steadily climbed late in Sep
| tember and all the indications were
I that he constantly improved his posi
I tion. Hughes had eighty per cent oi
the Progressive vote and Wilson hau
seventeen per cent, but in the final
j Hughes had only 711 per cent of that
vote and Wilson had 25 per cent.
Only a negligible vote was recorded
for the* Socialist candidate. The
Northwestern states gave ilson
fifty per cent. The poll gave Wilson a
total of .‘>07 electoral votes and
Hughes 224. Wilson is expected to
carry Washington on account ol the
woman vote and should carry .Mon
tana because of the labor vote.
Hughes ought to carry Oregon by the
conservative labor vote, they claim.
The business vote and farmer voje in
j Idaho is expected to make that state
i Republican. At the beginning of th
i polling Wilson looked like being easily
defeated but Hughes disappointed by j
his arguments which did not ring true
I and seemed to fall on deaf ears. Th( ;
Hughes-Koosevelt-Taft combine has i
i been unfruitful and the time-honor
1 ed slogan of the “full dinner pail*’ j
has acted as a boomerang this time
| because of the eight hour law cieat
1 ed by Wilson. The women are im
pressed all over the country by the
claim that Wilson kept the country
out of war and the eight hour day
controls labor completely. Both facts
have constituted the political elixir
that has revived Democracy.
SAN FRANCISCO BETTING
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 5.—Two

FIRST FLOCK MILL
11KOFGHT TO INTKKIOK
FAIRBANKS.—The Tanana Valley
now boasts of a flour mill, the firs*
in the history of nterior Alaska, if not
in the history of the whole territory
On a recent boat. Magnus Nelson, me
of the progressive ranchers of the
district, received his flour mill and is
now prepared to make his own flour
from wheat grown on his farm. The
mill is hut the beginning, marking
the commencement of an epoch in the
history of agricultural Interior A
a^ka. The step from this period of
the little hand flour mill to the great
milling establishment of the future
may extend over a consider^ le period
jf time, as world a flairs are counted
today, but at least one enthusiastic
and successful farmer of the district
believes it will he in the lifetime of
the hardy pioneers that are now tilling
the soil.
Mr. Nelson intends only to make
his own flour at this time, but the
very fact that he is able to do it. in*
dicates to other farmers that it will
ue but a short time until many of
them are installed in the ranches of
the district.
Many efforts have been put forth
to boom the industries of the Tananu
and the farmers would now like to
have some financier or capitalist get
around him enough people interested
in the country to build one large mill
that will be able to handle all the
wheat raised in the country, that it
may be turned to flour and thus cut
down the expense to the consumer.
To many this may seem an idle
dream, but to the farmers who start
ed to grow spuds and other vege
tables when people jeered at them,
and who have proven the industry u
success, it is a serious proposition.—
