Resubmission party is combination
OF hitherto heterogeneous elements, whose
basis of -nion is opposition to prohibi-
ton. It's recruits are from both Demo-
cratic and Republican parties, and its
shibboleth the repeal of the prohibitory
law. The Resubmission aud Democratic
parties have fused their nomination of a
state ticket, and declare that the
people Of the state should have
an opportunity for an expression
upon the question. Thus there are three
fuI! state tickets in the fipld-RepublicRn
Farmers Alliance and Democratic Re-
submissionists, and expect TO poll big
vote, and the successful party, which
ever it may be, will probably have
plurality of less than 10, 600. The Farm
ers' Alliance aud Democratic Resubmis-
sion parties are generally opposed TO the
Te-riectiUu OF Senator Ingalls,.
The great Kansas senator has become
r paramount issUs in his state, and party
principles have sunk into significance

made an active campaign, and laughs at
rhe possibility of Republican defeat.
The congressional fight il sOmewhat
lost from sight IN the prominence
of state issues. The Republicans claim

electlng two or three in the strongest Al
lance di-tr!rts.
THE SITUATION IN IOWA.
DIES MONIES, Iowa, Nov. 3.-The pc
culiar political complications which en-
abled the Democrats to elect governor
in Iowa last fall make this state the OBJ
iect of particular interest at this time.
The state officers TO be elected are
secretary of state, treasurer, auditor,
judge of the supreme court and railroad
commissioner. The Farmers Alliance is
not particularly strong 10 Iowa, but the
prohibition question il always growing.
The situation IN Iowa may be sum-
marized by saying that the fight which
oYershadows all else is the struggle in
the doubtful congressional districts, and
so many elements are refraining from
positive predictions in this state, which
furnishes eleven mem beers of the national
house OF representatives, thet there are
no less than six districts alleged by either
party to be doubtful.
WISCONSIN AND THE BENNETT LAW.
MILWAUKEE, WIS. Nov. 3.-The Ben
nett compulsory school law is the issue

publican CITY by the aid of the sectariap
opponents of the Bennett law forced him
10 the front last spring. aud he was only
n few weeks afterward nominated by the
Democrats for governor. His Republic
can opponent is Gov. Hoard, present
governor, who was renominated by ao-
olamatioL by the Republicans and who

must remain upon the statute books.
BY pledging themselves to mod fcation
the Democrats hope to secure consider
able support from the Lutherans and
other sectarlan societies for their ticket,
the only question being as to the extent
of this support.
The Republicans are confident that
they will gain from the Democrats q suf-
f1cient number of voters who favor the
law to more than Offset the sectarian
vote.
In the congressional contests alone has
the tariff question been a subject of any
considerable discussion, the Democrats
Of the Third district being urged 20 bitter
warfare against Congressman La Toilette
for his support of the Mckinley bill in the
ways and means committee in the house.
Indications point La Follette's cleo
ton doubtful. but even the Republicans
generally concede that the Democrats
will win this year in the Milwaukee dis
trict. The Democrats claim they will
win the Fifth district by defeating Con-
gresham Thomas, who is encountering
considerable opposition in his own party.
