COOLIDGE ON RADIO AGAIN TONIGHT WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.—Confident that tomorrow's election will return him to the White House by a landslide, proportionate to that of 1920, President Coolidge devoted himself today to the preparation of the "last word of the campaign"—the radio speech he will deliver tonight at 10 o'clock. The president will confine himself this evening to an appeal to every citizen to "do his duty to his country and vote." With 24 radio stations covering the entire country hooked up for the event, the presidential utterances are expected to be heard by the largest number of people ever reached by one voice. Indications have reached the White House that a tremendous popular vote will be polled tomorrow. According to estimates made by Bascom C. Slemp, the presidential secretary between 35 and 40 million ballots will be cast, as compared with the 27,000,000 in 1920. "There is a total possibility of slightly less than 50,000,000 votes," Slemp declared but, because of illiteracy, sickness and other cause, I should say that in the neighborhood of 80 per cent of this total fairly may be expected to voice an opinion at the polls. I look for over 35,000,000 votes." The Republican organization is making a tremendous effort to get out every absentee vote from "vote from "voteless" Washington. Meantime, a veritable flood of last minute election reports have reached the White House from all sections of the country. Extreme optimism is expressed in all. From Colorado came the word that President Coolidge will poll as many votes in that state "as the other two candidates combined." Oklahoma sent word that it is "unquestionably" going Republican. Recall Movement Not Proving So Popular As First Pictured Another new stunt tried by solicitors to get names in the attempt to recall four city councilmen. It was disclosed today, is that of pretending that they are compiling a telephone directory. They called on one woman, and when she refused to accede to the scheme, weft to a mail box, pulled out some letters to get the exact name, and then rturned and continued with the questions. Other devices are also being resorted to, according to reports today, but the favorite is the assertion that a census is being taken. Mrs. Della Grubbs, 216 No. Claudina-st., staffed she was visited by a solicitor seeking members for the "U.S.A." club. She said she asked the solicitor what reason could be offered for recalling the council, and, after considerable embarrassment on the part of the solicitor, the latter stated there was no reason except their reputed membership in the Klan. "Well, how on earth can you hope to recall them unless you can bring charges?" demanded Mrs. Grubbs. "I will not fight them until charges have been preferred and proven." Indications were plentiful today that the recall movement is not nearly so popular as its supporters had pictured. FIRES THREATEN NEW YORK TOWNS SUFFORD, N.Y., Nov. 3.—A thousand volunteers, armed with picks and shovels, were digging trenches against time today as a forest fire which has blackened an area a mile wide and two miles long sped toward this city of costly homes.

WHAT PEOPLE FAMOUS U.S. THINK OF RECALL Several different opinions were voiced today regarding the recall proposition which may be put to vote here. The majority, however, who would talk, still appeared to oppose the election itself, to say nothing about their votes at the election. Some of the old timers who know what Anaheim was under with the very crowd who want to get back into power, spoke in no uncertain terms today of the proposed recall. F. W. Baker, of 129 South Melrose-st. said: "I think the recall is an outrage." "Never in seven years has Anaheim had a more honorable or able City Council." "If it haven't been for the publication of false statements, there'd be no agitation." "I'm not a Klansman, but a quarrel over the Klan has nothing to do with property values, as the (naming a local newspaper) says. It is due to the Presidential campaign, the slump in the oil business, etc. Now they're blaming it on the Klan. These agitators ought to be drummed out of the community. LOS ANGELES, Nov. 3—Ex-Senator Cornelius Cole, one of the oldest men in Los Angeles and one of the most famous characters of early California history, died at his home here today at the age of 102 years. It was not his great age, however, that caused the death of ex-Sen. Cole, according to relatives, but an illness which became serious Saturday, Sen. Cole suffered an attack of influenza six months ago. He recovered, but the illness kept him weak for a long time. He was growing stronger, however, until two days ago, when he was attacked by incipient pneumonia. This morning, a heart attack suddenly ended his life. Sen Cole celebrated his 102nd birthday on Sept. 17. It had been his proud boast for years that he felt as strong and young in his later life as he had in earlier years. Cornelius Cole was born on Sept. 17, 1822, in Lodi, New York. He was the last man who served in Congress. Expect 30,000,000 Will Vote Tomorrow for Presidency WHAT THEY SAY (By International News-Service) JOHN W. DAVIS: "I am genuinely confident. The reports from every state are very encouraging. I do not believe President Coolidge has gained anything during the last hour and I believe he has lost strength. Sen. LaFollette does not seem as strong as he was a few weeks ago. There is a swing in my direction." WILLIAM M. BUTLER: "All that is now necessary is to have full vote cast on Tuesday. Victory will reward these efforts—Republican victory." CLEM L. SHAVER: "John W. Davis will be the next president of the United States. The southern and border states are safely Democratic. In the doubtful states, the silent vote will decisively affect the result. All our reports are that the independent vote will be Democratic." NEW YORK, Nov. 3. — Tomorrow's march to the polls will be the greatest electoral trek the world has ever witnessed. Unless the managers of all parties and all candidates are badly off in their estimates, fully 30,000,000 Americans will ballot tomorrow to determine their government, local, state and national, celling by some 4,000,000 the record vote of 1920, when 26,713,832 citizens recorded their preference in the Harding-Cox contest. The record breaking proportions of the vote was about the only thing today that the leaders of all parties were agreed upon. On virtually every other aspect of tomorrow's great referendum, there were today the usual sharp difference of opinion, conflicting claims and confusing cross-currents. The attitude of three parties, 24 hours in advance of the decision, might be described thus: The Republicans are supremely, even vociferously, confident of a Coolidge-Dawes victory. The Democrats are quietly hopeful for Davis and Bryan. The Independents are militantly expectant of a huge popular vote around which to build a new and permanent third party in American politics. Certainly every surface indication points to the election of Calvin Coolidge and Charles Dawes—all the experts have agreed that it looks like a Republican victory in the electoral college, all of the straw votes, private polls and "Never in seven years has Anaheim had a more honorable or able City Council. "If it handn't been for the publication of false statements, there'd be no agitation." "I'm not a Klansman, but a quarrel over the Klan has nothing to do with property values, as the naming a local newspaper says. It is due to the Presidential campaign, the slump in the oil business, etc. Now they're blaming it on the Klan. These agitators ought to be drummoned out of the community. "When I came here eight years ago there used to be two saloons to a block downtown You could hardly pass, there were so many bums on the sidewalks." HERBERT SASS—"For the life of me, I can't understand what business it is of a man from Placentia, who doesn't think enough of Anaheim to live here, to act as chairman of a meeting attempting to work up sympathy for a recall of the best city councilmen we have ever had. What's the matter? Are they cutting off his supply of bootleg Nor what business it is of other outsiders to attempt to tell us whom we should have for city council. Well, they didn't get very far with their whoop-er up meeting. When they called for volunteer block-workers one lone hand went up. "It is very evident that this whole attempt to force religious strife here is merely a move of the old gang to get back into control. Look over the list of the 'United Soaks Club' and you'll find a former mayor and political boss, a former publisher and would-be boss, several former councilmen, a former city attorney, a former city manager, a former police court judge and a former postmaster. In fact, all the old gang 'formers' are there. "When you take them out, and those who live out of town, the remaining few are mighty lonely ones." W. P. Webb said: "In the old days you could just about walk" Plain Dealer Classified Ads produce results. Try this medium. He was growing stronger, however, until two days ago, when he was attacked by incipient pneumonia. This morning, a heart attack suddenly ended his life. Sen Cole celebrated his 102nd birthday on Sept. 17. It had been his proud boast for years that he felt as strong and young in his later life as he had in earlier years. Cornellus Cole was born on Sept. 17, 1822, in Lodi, New York. He was the last man alive who served in Congress when Abraham Lincoln was president. For the last four years he was the last member of the senate under Lincoln, still living. He was the man who practically put thru the purchase by the United States of the territory of Alaska. Cole attended Wesleyan University, Connecticut, in 1847 and married Olive Colgrove, of Trumansburg, N.Y., on Jan. 6, 1853. He was admitted to the bar in 1848, and went to California in 1849, being the first man of the first group of seven young men to reach Sutter's Fort, near Sacramento, the site of the first gold discovery. He worked one year in the gold fields and resumed his practice of law in 1850. He was a member of the Republican National Committee from 1856 to 1860, and was district attorney of Sacramento City and county from 1859 to 1862. He was a member of the 38th congress from 1862 to 1865, and a member of the U.S. Senate from 1886 to 1873, during which he was chairman of the committee on appropriations. Senator Cole was the only survivor of the life members of the Pioneer Society of California. He is survived by three sons, four daughters and many grandchildren. Senator Cole was said to have been the oldest college graduate in America. His last public appearance was a year ago when he spoke at the U.S.C. here. The more cautious among the forecasters of Coolidge victory were according him today a bare majority in the electoral college. The more sanguine estimates ran as high as 350 votes in the college, which would be a sweeping victory. The estimate of 350 is that of Wm. M. Butler, chairman of the Republican national committee. Notwithstanding all this, Democratic leaders refused today to be downhearted—at least publicly so. Clem L. Shaver, chairman of the Democratic national committee, said today that the hope of the Democrats is the "great, silent vote" that does not express itself in straw votes, predictions and other pre-election exercises. It was just such a great silent vote in 1916. Democratic leaders pointed out that elected Woodrow Wilson over Charles E. Hughes, when every surface indication pointed to a Hughes victory, just as every surface indication now points to a Coolidge victory. In that memorable year, too, the "experts" selected Hughes, Wall Street bet Hughes and even stald Democrat journals conceded his election at $0'clock on election night. Then as now the east was predominantly for the Republican ticket. Wilson carried but two states east of the Mississippi and north of the Mason-Dixon line, but he won. The Republicans counter this line of reasoning by pointing to our own unpopularity...
