ISSUE STATEMENT Each Believes His Party Will Be Victorious at the Polls Tuesday.

SALONIKA MAY FALL. SALONIKA, Nov. 4 An attack upon this city by the Greek army is imminent. The cityis in a panic. Twenty thousand refugees from nearby towns are housed here. . Food is scarce and sojdlers are plundering ships. It is understood that the municipal authorities are in favor of a prompt surrender to prevent a bombardment.

GREEKS THE VICTORS. ATHENS, Greece, Nov. 4. Five hundred Turkish prisoners and fifteen heavy guns were captured in a 7-hour battle between Greeks and Ottoman troops at Yenidje, according to addlces received from the front today. The balance of the Turkish army at Yenidje fled pursued by the victorious Greeks. Yenidje lies 18 miles north of Urla and is on a branch railway running from Salonika, 30 miles west of the latter city.

FIGHTING CONTINUES. SOFIA, Nov. 4. Although Turkey has appealed to the powers to mediate and bring about a suspension of hostilities In the Balkan war, furious fighting was still going on today almost within the suburbs of Constantinople. While the main division of the Turkish army has sought refuge beneath the forts of Chaltalja, the main defenses on the north, fighting was still going on south of the , orient railway and on the western slopes of the Istranja mountains, where Bulgarian forces drove Turkish troops before them. It was learned today that the Turkish army began retreat after 72 hours' fighting. The Bulgarian Losses. The first report of the Bulgarian losses in this fight was given out here today. This stated that 4,000 Bulgarion3 were killed and 20,000 wounded. The brunt of the battle was borne by the first and second regiments of Bulgarian infantry. Out of the 7,200 troops only 700 escaped unscathed. 500 soldiers of the first and second

regiments fell upon the field

BY SENATOR JOSEPH M. DIXON, Chairman of the National Progressive Committee. NEW YORK, Nov. 4. The campaign which ends next Tuesday marks a distinct period in American politics. The voters of the nation are in revolution against the old order of political control. No such national movement has been recorded since the anti-slavery crusade of the late fifties. Old political leaders and land marks

j have been literally swept aside in the

uprising of the masses. The morning after the election, the students of American politics will be studying a new political map of the United States. , Great electoral states like Illinois, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and California will be swept into the Progressive column by pluralities, in some instances, more than a hundred thousand. Notwithstanding the "claims" of political managers, the truth is there is not an accurate yard stick to measure the present situation. One thing, however, is certain. The human interest propaganda of the Progressive party has appealed to thinking men and women as nothing else has done for half a century. It is the natural evolution of democracy itself. In the great industrial centers of the nation there will be a veritable avalanche of votes for the Roosevelt and Johnson electoral ticket. For the first time since the days of Reconstruction, the voters in the southern Btates feel that they can vote for a non-sectional political party. In Tennessee, North Carolina and Georgia the Progressive ticket will poll a tremendous vote next Tuesday.

In every other southern state the vote j

for Roosevelt and Johnson will be twice and in some states three times as large as was cast for the Republican ticket four years ago. The Taft ticket will beyond the peradventure of doubt be a bad third in the race. In many places it will even be a hot race for fourth place between Debs and Taft. The contest next Tuesday is absolutely between Roosevelt and Wilson. Based on full information as to conditions in every state, it is my deliberate judgment that Taft has no possibility of securing to exceed fifteen electoral votes. Taft has no show to carry any states except Utah, Wyoming, New Mexico and Vermont. Speaking frankly, I believe the

either I chances favor Roosevelt in Vermont and Wilson in New Mexico. I believe

the Democratic ticket has been so ; enthusiastic, that we have every right ; to believe that we will carry the ;

state. Colorado will increase its majority of 3,000 at the last election to not less than 15,000 for Wilson and Marshall. Connecticut is a hotly contested state, and while we have to overcome a large majority, we have every confidence that we can do it. Bryan received 22,000 votes in Delaware at the last election, while Taft received 25,000. The split in the Republican ranks gives us this state by a safe majority. Illinois has been one of the most

bitterly contested states. The Repub- j

Moscow. Whole brigades of the flower of the Turkish army were annihilated. The Bulgarian artillery thundered its destructive fire without cessation night and day for 48 hours. Rejoicing here was mingled with pathos over the bitterness of the loss. Belief is expressed that after bringing the Turkish empire to its knees Bulgaria and the other Balkan states will refuse to listen to offers for mediation until Constantinople has been invested. I. E. Guechief, the Bulgarian pre

mier, has dispatched important ad- i

vices to Czar Ferdinand who is at the army headquarters at Stara Zagora, which it 1b believed relate to the mediation. Mr. Guechief declared today that in his opinion the powers would not press their demands for a cessation of hostilities at once.

do it and Illinois will be ours by 25,000 to 60,000 majority. Indiana is safely for Wilson and Marshall and we will have the biggest Democratic majority ever given a candidate. Our reports from Iowa are most

enthusiastic, and we are not worrying j over the results in that state. Iowa

can be safely put down for Wilson j and Marshall. Maine had but 3,000 Republican majority in the September election with both factions of the Republican party united. Divided, as they now are on national lines, the Btate will certainly cast its electoral vote for Wilson. Maryland is safely In the Democratic column and we will elect the six congressional candidates from that state. In Massachusetts we have to overcome a large Republican majority but the dfclit in the Republican ranks insures Democratic success. The Democratic outlook could not be brighter. There is no debate over Missouri. Michigan, Minnesota and Montana are all states in which we have made remarkable gains and we hope to find them in the Democratic colmun on election day. Nebraska will remain in the Democratic column. New York and New Jersey are beyond question safe for Wilson and Marshall. We anticipate coming down to Manhattan with a majority of 70,000 for the Democratic ticket. This should give us New York state by 250,000. Ohio is just as safe for the Democratic ticket as any of the southern states and I firmly believe that we will have the largest majority in Ohio ever given a Democratic candidate. Pennsylvania is going to be the scene of a remarkable three-cornered fight. This state, with its 300,000 majority, has been the scene of one o fthe most strenuous contests ever conducted by the Democrats and all our reports indicate that we not only have the united Democratic vote of half a million, but have gained tens of thousands of other votes. Wilson will lead Roosevelt, with Taft third. Washington, Wisconsin and Wyoming show no indications of not getting in the Democratic column. Pre-election predictions do not make votes.

(National News Association) SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Nov. 4. The elimination of Taft electors from

the ballot In California places her un- j questionably in the list of doubtful states although the Roosevelt leaders announced today that they will win by a majority of 75,000, and the Wilson leaders, more conservative in their claims stated that Democracy will pre-; vail with a majority of 30,000 or more. Unprejudiced predictions are a shade in favor of Roosevelt based upon the unbroken power of Governor Hiram W. Johnson, his place on the presidential ticket and the fact that the Roose

velt electors are down on the November ballot as Republicans in a state ; which has a normal Republican ma-; jority of 30,0,00 now increased to 160,-! 000 by the granting of votes to women, j Before it was settled that no Taft j electors would be on the ballot there . appeared to be little doubt that Roose- j velt would win with Wilson second and '

Taft a weak third. Roosevelt Popular. California was one of the Republican strongholds of the country. It had gone Democratic only twice since 1856. The last time was in 1892 when the Cleveland electors were victorious. Roosevelt carried California in 1904 with a majority of 115,000 and Taft had nearly 100,000 majority four years ago. But all the calculations of a Roosevelt win in California in 1912 were upset at the end of September, when the supreme court ruled that the Taft electors chosen at a rump state convention of Taft men were not entitled to a place on the ballot. The fight for Taft was given up in California and there began at once a flocking of the Taft politicians to the standard of Wilson for vengeance upon the Republican Progressives who had shut them off the ballot. How much of a stampede has really occurred it is hard to determine. It is a new situation in California, politics and the political forecasters are making their calculations now with reservations. If all the Taft voters of California go to the polls and give their votes to Wilson the Democratic candidates will probably win. The situation is further complicated by the 50,000 voters who supported Senator La Follette in the presidential

primary election or last May. Botn sides are claiming that they will get the bulk of the La Follette voters. They are mostly Republicans, Progressives and protectionists, and this, the Roosevelt men say, insures the Bull Moose ticket two-thirds of the La Fol--lette votes.

BEVER1DGE SHOWS BETTING STRENGTH

INDIANAPOLIS. Nov. 4 Election wagers in this city considerably narrowed on the governorship today but odds of four to one that Wilson will be elected were neglected in blocks ranging from fl.000 upward. Beveridge. for governor, showed increased strength and even money that Ralston would defeat him by 30.000 to 40,000 was eagerly grabbed. Wagers that Beveridge would poll more votes than Durbin were entirely neglected, even with odds on the Beveridge end.

0, S, HALL AGAIN IN TOILS OFJHE LAW Held at Kokomo on Alleged Charge of Embezzlement Once Convicted Here.

O. S. Hall, a former insurance agent In this city, sent to the Indiana State prison on a charge of embezzlement from the Wayne circuit court on Nov. 18, 1909, to serve an indeterminate sentence of two to four years, and paroled on December 2, 1911, is under arrest at Kokomo on an alleged charge of embezzlement. Hall was in Richmond last Friday and told friends that he was doing a prosperous business in Kokomo. He left here for Anderson. Upon his return to Kokomo, he was arrested on th request of authorities in Elwood and Tipton county. It Is alleged that ho sold policies, collected the premiums, and failed to remit the money to th Midland Casualty company of Chicago. At Elwood, It is charged he entered into a contract with Dr. Thomas Ownes, making him examining physician and promising him a monthly salary of $25. The company repuiated the contract. Dr. Ownes had remitted money to Hall. Hall was convicted in Wayne county by a jury after an indictment had been preferred against him by the grand jury. He pleaded not guilty to the charge. He has a wife and six children in Cincinnati. Thomas Larmore, state parole officer, has been in Kokoko conferring with the prisoner. It is known at Kokomo that the insurance company severed connections with Hall several weeks ago. After his parole from prison he went to Kokorao -where he had a large circle of friends and acquaintances. At the time of his conviction here, there were charges against him in many Indiana cities. .

BY CHARLES D. HILLES, Chairman the National Republican Committee. NEW YORK, Nov. 4. Tuesday, November 5, will witness the re-election of William Howard Taft as President of the United States. A remarkable campaign is drawing to a close. Going into the contest with the handicap created by cruel misrepresentations, that sought to poison the minds of the American people against him, President Taft has come through clean and strong. The record of the sanely progressive achievements of his first term, fear of the untried experiments and the utter disregard of all constitutional restraints by the third-term candidate, and unwillingness on the part of the American people to jeopardize the splendid pros

perity of the present period under a free-trade Democratic administration, ! gradually wrought the change which J today assures William Howard Taft ;

a second term as resident or tne United States. I do not believe it necessary to go over the situation by States. I am confident that the effort to disrupt the Republican party has failed miserably, and that the evidence to sustain that assertion will be in before Tuesday night. I am firmly confident that at the polls on Tuesday, the vote of the country will be cast for four years more of Taft and prosperity.

is important, however, that the Democrats get out and vote and must take nothing for granted. We shall not be surprised to find every electoral vote of every state for Wilson and Marshall. The Democratic party is united. The Republican party is divided into fragments and cannot hope to succeed this year.

BY WILLIAM F. M'COMBS Chairman of the National Democratic Committee. NEW YORK, Nov. 4. The Democratic forces never entered a battle with more united strength or more confident of victory than they will on November 6. We have waged the contest along the lines that we believed to be of the greatest advantage to the American people. It is now up to the voters. To tell where we are strongest is a task beyond me, or anw other

conscientious Democrat who has been j

in the midst of this fight. Governor Wilson started off with a tremendous lead over the other candidates and while it was freely pre

dicted that he might lose some of his

strength, thre has been no break in the Democratic column. The south will again be united for the Democratic ticket., The returns we have had from all the southern states indicate that the Wilson and Marshall vote will be the largest ever given a Democratic candidate. While some extremely conservative persona may include California in the debatable column, we are confident of carrying it for Governor Wilson. We have to overcome a lead of practically 87,000 votes in California, but the division among the Republican party is so great and the support of
