able that the new registration and Australian
ballot laws will have the effect OF reducing the
vote somewhat at the election in this State to-
slorroW With the exception OF county ofheers,
including members of the Legislature, VINO
will choose a successor to Squire in the United
States Senate, the Congressman Is the only oni-
Ger to be voted for.
In Western Washington the relative strength
of the parties is not much changed from that of
1889, when the Republicans carried the state
Republican candidate for Congress, T1H receive
the full party vote. Carroll, the Democratic
nominee is considered a strong man With his
party, and will probably receive few Republic
can votes in Pierce, his own county
In eastern Washington there has been some
opposition to Wilson among the farmers,
though it may not materially affect the vote,
national issues have formed the basis OF the
campaign rather than State issues.
The Legislature will probably be Republican
in both branches, and on joint ballot the Re-
publicans claim they will have from thirty to
fifty majority.

islature and county officers to morrow rms

paigns ever known in the history of the Terri
tory In 1883 Marcus A. Smith was reelected
delegate to Congress by $500 majority, out OF

man. The present indications seem to be that
the contest will be very close, and Smith Will
receive much smaller majority. The Repub-
licans have made a hard fight favoring State
hood They claim that they will have two
thirds of the Council and majority of three to
five in the House. The county tickets Will be
badly split up, as party lines have not been
drawn closely on them.
NEVADA
VIRGINIA (Nev). November 3d.-A- Governor,
Congressman and Legislature are to be elected
in Nevada tomorrow. The Republicans expect
10 elect Colcord Governor by 800 majority, and
10 re elect Bartine TO Congress by 800 majority.
Party lines are badly broken. The Cornish vote
is inclined to desert the Republicans, on the
plea that their element is not sufficiently recog-
nized.
NORTH AND SOUTH DAKOTA.
ST. PAUL, November 3d.-North and South
Congressman and Legislatures. The latter
bodies will elect successors 10 Senator Peirce in
North Dakota and Senator Moody in South Da-
kota.
In North Dakota the Farmers Alliance
chooses a State ticket headed by one of them
selves and made up of selected candidates from
the other party tickets. The Republicans
of that State claim the election OF their entire
ticket by several thousand majority, and also
claim good majority in the Legislator
In South Dakota the Alliance has a complete
State and Congressional ticket, as so have the
Republicans and Democrats. In the legislative
contest the Alliance and Democracy have COM
bined in about one-third of the State. and this
fact will largely reduce the Republican lead,
which has heretofo'e been great. Still, the Re-
publieans claim majority in the Legislature
and victory on both the state and Congress
sional ticket. The Alliance, or Independents,
also claim the State ticket.
MONTANA.
HELENA (Mont), November 9d.-The voters of
Montana will tomorrow elect Congressman and
eight State Senators. The campaign has been
a hot one, and registration is 20 per cent less
than last year, which makes an additional ele-
ment of uncertainty. The Republicans and
Democrats are both confident of electing their
Congressman The real contest is for control of
the State Senate, that body now being tie, and
the districts to be voted in tomorrow are all
close.
