DOVER, n. H., July 1G.-To-mOrrOw's
vote for United States senator at Concord
is looked for with much interest here.
There was large gathering OF members Of
the Legislature and politicians at York
Beach yesterday, and they were unanimous
in the opinion that there will be radical
changes in tO-morrow's vote. Representa-
, tive Pray, Of Dover, arrived here tonight.
He has a letter in his possession written by
Judge Jeremiah Smith, now at York Beach.
Judge Smith says: Il am not, and never
have been, a candidate for United States
senator, and should not accept it if elected.
Please make this sufficiently known to pre-
vent anybody's voting for me-" Several
Republicans who voted on the last ballot
for Smith will scatter tomorrow. The
general opinion among politicians here is
that Ray is the dark horse. Judges Doc
and Smith are certainly out Of the race.
