DEs MoIYEs, Nov. 3,-The peculiar
political complications which enabled the
democrats to elect the governor in Iowa

century, makes this state the object Of

by the legislative caucus of the party in
power, and this doctrine found ready con-
currcnce among the rank and file of the
Illinois democracy. The state convention
in June nominated Palmer and requested
him To make a personal canvass for the
election Of democratic legislature.
In the personal popularity OF their
leader the democrats base their strongest
hopes for their success in this state that
usually gives 1900 plurality for the re-
publican ticket. Tho republicans are
confident Of a continued control of the
general assembly, but there are so many
doubtful districts il is impossible 10 pre-
dict the general result. The strength
OF the Farmers Mutual Benefit as
sociatiou and the farmers alliance
is confined principally 10 central
and southern Illinois, where
the democrats in that section hope 70
reap mucn advantage from local fusions
with the farmers mutual benefit alliance.
They are equally hampered in other lo-
calities by the farmers having made indie
pendent legislative nominations which
have been endorsed by the republicans.
The great issue in Illinois has been the
tariff and il has been fearlcssly fought by
both parties In the congressional sirug-
gle the democrats made an unusually ac-
tive fight against Congressman Cannon.
The endorsement Of their candidate by
the farmers Mutual Benefit Alliance and
the hostility Of some Of the republican
papers ofhis district To Cannon give them
hopes II defeating him.
Chairman Jones Of the republican state
central committee, said tonight, "The re-
publicans will carry the state ticket and
elect a majority Of the legislature on a
joint ballot. They expect 10 hold their
own on members Of congress and probab-
ably gain one.
Az the headquarters of the democratic
state central committee, broad claims were
made, some members insisting the demo
Gratis would carry the state ticket, elect a
majority of the legislature and gain three

Special 10 the Standard.
HELENA, Nov. S.-The desperation of
the republican managers is evinced in
circular which they have prepared for
distribution at the polls in this city to-mor-
row. For obvious reasons they have not
dared to circulate il before or even to
allude 10 the subject, well aware that the
moment the news Of any such action on
their part got on the west side OF the
range il would react against them with
terrible effect.
This circular quotes portions OF the
speech Judge Dixon made in the
constitutional convention against
Helena as the capital. Ii will
be remembered that in that convention
Mr.. Dixon fought Loyalty for the West
side, voting for Butte, Anaconda and
Missoulawhenevera and at all times that the
ives: side vote went TO one Of these cities.
Bozeman, for as he said in his speech he
did not believe Helena, which has hogged
everything for years and years, was en-
titled to the capital. In this, as in all
matters Judge Dixon was perfectly frank,
sincere and conscientious.
This circular which the forlorn and
furious republicans are preparing for
Helena voters in the futile hope that il
will not get beyond the range before the
closing of the polls, was instigated by
i
Tom Carter himself during a recent
visit here. Yet the Butte Inter Mountain
made the extraordinary assertion a few
days ago that Garter was better friend
OF Butte than Dixon"
Iu the light of what the Helena republi-
cans are doing, citizens who wish to see
the capital on the west side Of the range
can only be true TO their interests by vot-
ing for Dixon. II the republicans would
only distribute the same circular on the
west side Carter wouldn't be heard Of
when the votes we're counted.

WISCONSIN DEMOCRATS.
They Hope TO Elect Governor Peck and a
Full Ticket To-Morrow.


MILwAREE, Wis, Nov. 3.-The Bennett
compulsory school law is the issue which
overshadows all others in the election TO.
morrow In Wisconsin, where full ticket
is 20 be elected. The unexpected election
Of Mayor Peck in the republican city Of
Milwaukee by the aid OF the sectarian
opponents of the Bennett law, forced him
TO the front last spring and he was only
few weeks afterward nominated by the
democrats for the goyernorship.
Mayor Peck's republican opponent is
Governor Hoard, the present governor,
who was renominated 10y acclnmation by
tue republicans, and who has boldly taken
the position with his party that the
Bennett law is sound and must
remain upon the statute books
BY pledging themselves 10 its modiilca-
ton or repeal the democrats hope 10 se-
cure considerable support from the
Lutherians, Roman Catholics aud other
sectarian societies for their ticket.
The only question is as TO the extent Of
this support. The republicans are conf
dent that they will Rnin from the demo-
cratic ranks sufficient number Of voters
who favor the law 10 more than Offset the
sectarian vote. In congressional con-
tests alone has the tariff question been
the subject OF any considerable discussion.

MINNESOTA MAY BE ReDEEMEu
The Democrats Hope to Garry This
Citadel

ST. PAUL. Nov. g. Minnesota is one Of
the interesting political states Of the
Northwest this fall from the fact that the
nominal growth Of the farmers alliance
within the last six months makes IL likely
this new party will lower the cast over 800
per cent. of the total vote of the state.
As Minnesota has heretofore been
strongly republican, the growth OF the
new party has naturally been at the ex-
pense Of the dominant party, but with
four full state tickets in the field the
democrats and farmers alliance having
failed 10 combine, the chances still are
slightly in favor Of the republican ticket.
The most sanguine party In the state is
without doubt the farmers alliance, and
they claim the state by 1000 10 @O0o
plurality. OF course the older parties
contest this, but II is frequently conceded
that either Of the three parties is almost
equally liable 20 win. The republicans
claim the entire five congressional dis
tricts OF the state, but in several Of the
districts their claims are stubbornly con-
tested by the democrats and farmers
alliance.
