crats, with an even chance of secur?
ing both In Idaho, and an even better
ehance In Illinois. The lates. news

victory all along the line.
The I>emocrats also feel confident
of electing Senators In N* braska,

"The Herald forecast published to?
day Indicates the election of Wood
row Wilson by the largest electoral
vote ever received by a candidate.
The next Huiae of Representatives
will be Democratic by an overwhelm?
ing majority and the Indications are
that the control of the Cnlted States
Senate will pass to that party. In
the division of electoral votes, as In?
dicated by the Herald forecast, Gov?
ernor Wisset) will receive 360, Presi?
dent Taft. 27, Mr. Hoc sevelt 7, and
137 are placed In the doubtful col?
umn. There are 531 votes in t*>e
Electoral College and 266 are nec?
essary for a choice.
"As a basis for this forecast, the
Herald has had a personal poll of
319.331 voters, by far the largest
number that has ever expressed a
preference In a pre-e ectlon canvass.
Th * poll has been supplemented by
the observations end the conclusions
of experienced political reporters,
who have gone Into every county of
every debatable State. and talked
with men In every walk of life.
"In the division of the electoral
votes, as a result of the canvass, the
Herald has given to Governor Wilson
13? from the eleven Southern States,
whn h are conceded to Governor Wil?
son. They sre Alabama. Arkansas,
Florida, Georgia, Loulriani. Mississ?
ippi. North Carolina. South Carolina,
Tenneasee, Texas and Virginia. Add?
ed to these are the votes of the fol?

dicates that Governor Wilson will car?

nominee, baa not heretofore bees,
placed in th?- doubtful ? olumn. La?
ter reports indicate a drift toward Mr.
Roosevelt, and while it is sjejl believed
to be extensive enough to meats' ?? the
? han? es of Governor Wlseoh, the state
has been put Into the doubtful col
umn. California, elasasd by the Pro?
gressives us > sure St it. for Mr.

s< n
"In all the doubtful itatei tlo-r? is
a silent vote larger than ..er before.
There have been fusneri on the clos?
ing days of th<< SajSjpalSJSJ tb.it this
would swing to Mr Poo-. Ve|t. Tin?
Herald has mad" ?'\<'iy possible of
fort to determine. If this vote won go?
ing one way and 1? unable to tlnd
that It la In Illinois, Michigan and
I't tiiisylvanlii the conditions Vary in
the different section* of tl ? Stute.
The reports show they art even more
likely to go for Governor Wilson than
for Mr. Uoosevelt, but they have
been placed in the doubtful column.
The one thin* which stands out in
all the i? purls, and which may bo the
determining factor of the election, is
thi.t the Democratic party is practi?
cally united while the Republican
pa*ty is divided."
The Evening Tost today says:
"The Presidential campaign of 1118,
in many respects one of the most ex?
traordinary in American history, is
tin shed and awaits now the verdict
of the ballot box. Judging by all the
ordinary tests of political mathe?
matics and political experience, Wood
row Wilson, of New Jersey, and Thos.
R. Marshall, of Indiana, each the
Governor of his State and nominees
of the Democratic party for Presi?
dent and Vlco President, respectively,
wl 1 be elected by an overwhelming
pit rallty, possibly an actual majority,
of tho popular vote and by an even
mere impressive majority of the elec?
toral votes of tho StateR. Every or
#11 nary probability indicates that the
J ><mocratlc ticket will receive not less
than 387 out of the T>31 electoral votes
? far in excess of the Sffl required for
an actual majority."
