CLEAR FOR ELECTION DAY
Normal Autumn Weather Is Officially
Predicted For To-morrow
To-morrow, election day, will see
normal autumn weather in this city and
vicinity, according to officials of the
local office of the weather bureau. There
is a possibility of the temperature be
ing a degree or two above the average
but there is not a chance of rain in
the opinion of the weather man.
Temperatures which have been far
above the average for the last twenty
four hours will go back to normal this
evening. A storm that threatened rain
has been divided into two parts, one
going off the coast through the St. Law
rence Valley the otner part being
held back by a high pressure which
will retard it for two or three days
at least.
Light rains throughout eastern
Pennsylvania as a result of the St.
Lawrence storm made many believe
yesterday that election day would be a
rainy one here, but the unusual strength
of the high pressure area will pre
vent this.

"There never was a time when the
issue iu a political campaign in this

jday," said the Rev. Dr. Henry W.
• Stough in opening his six weeks' evan-
I gelistic campaign at the tabernacle at
j North and Oowdon streets yesterday.
| "It is not a question of party or plat

"I am against any candidate for of

At the opening service at 10.30

was less than one-tthird full, the total
attendance estimated at four thousand.
The evangelist gave his sermon on "The
Trial of the Gods," an ordinary dis
' course which afforded him little oppor
tunity to display his wonderful person
ality. His most striking passages were:
"All the vices in this city are not
| the causes of the city's condition to
| day. They are not causes, they are re
j suits. We must go back to tihe actual
; causes. The trouble with this city is,
Harrisburg has forgotten God. God has
been eliminated too much from politics,
from the business world, from society
life, from educational institutions, from
homes, yes, from hearts of the people."
"Thev tell preachers to mind their
own business when they me<ddle in poli

the gag 011, so that you dare not go
out and rebuke wickedness."
No Partisan Politics
Evangelist Stough's most stirring ad

were present. He said iu part:

Dr. Martin 0. Brumbaugh, Republi
can candidate for Governor, to-day is
claiming that he will win by 250,000
votes over Vnnce McCormick, of this
city, his Democratic and Washington
party rival.
Mr. McCormick was absent from tho
city, making a final campaign tour in
Northampton county to-day, and will
not return to the city until late to
night, so no direct statement was ob
tainabie here from him. Mr. McCor
mick 's brother, Henry B. McCormiifk,
chairman ot the Fourth Pennsylvania
subdivision of the State Committee,
was asked for liis estimate of the re
sult of the election.
"Well," said Mr. McCormick, "[
might as well give my guess along with
tin' fillers. I believe that Vance will
have at least -0,000 majority in the
State, and that he will carry Dauphin
county and Harrisburg."
"How about Mr. Palmer!"
"Mr. Palmer will run clone to VancQg
as near as I can figure it out, but
think Vance will have vote~
than Palmer." /
Dr. Brumbaugh made hw claim in hi*
closing speech of the campaign in
West Chester on Saturday night. He
predicted his election in the following
language:
"1 will be eiected Governor by a ma
jority of nit less than 250,000. L sav
this advisedly and not boastfully. f
say it a', the -onclusion of my tour of
the State, during which I have visited
practically every county and have seen
the situation with my own eyes."
Crow Looks for Penrose Victory
Republican State Chairman William
K. Crow predicts that Senator Penrose
will have a majority of 195,000 over
Congressman A. Mitchell Palmer, with
I'inchot running a poor third, and that
L>r. Brumbaugh, candidate for Govern
or, will win by from 185,000 to 220,-
000 against the combined Democratic,
and Washington organizations.
Among Senator Crow s claims are
the following.
Senator Penrose will carry 44 of the
67 counties in the State. Dr. Brum
baugh will carry at least 39 counties.
All of the other Republ icau candidates
will win without difficulty. The Re
publicans wilt get 2 7 Congressmen, the
Democrats 6 and the Washington party
1. Twenty >f the 27 State Senators
will be Republican. The Republicans
■will gain a strong working majority iu
the House of Representatives.
On Saturday night, after the big
Democratic meeting in this city, State
Chairman Morris, .lames I. Blakslee*
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General;
Congressman Palmer and Mr. McCor
mick held a conference in state head
quarters at the close of which the fol
lowing statement was given out by Mr.
Blakslee:
Blakslee's Forecast
"Under any method of computation
Penrose will be defeated. It may bo
by a margin of thirty to forty thousand
votes, or, as is more likely, by a land
slide that is apparently sweeping the
State, which would place his vote only
a trifle above Taft's 1912 count. Pen
rose is absolutely running beyond Ins
own or anybody's expectations if he
gets 387,000 votes at the outside lim
it. Palmer will roll up a splendid re
turn of 425,000. Pinchot wid get what
is left either way, whether in tabulated
computation or in landslide possibili

Penrose votes aggregate 812,000 out
