NEW YORK THE CENTER

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6-The election
this year is most exciting in New York,
both on account of the prominence of the
heads of the tickets and because of the
great fight which is being made on Tam
many. There is, however, much inter
est in the congressional campaigns OF
other states and in some instances in
the state tickets.
The election of the representatives in
con ess is held in all the states of the
Union except Maine, Oregon and Yer
mont, which have already chosen their
congressman. The territories of New
Mexico, Arizona, Oklahoma and Utah
will each elect one delegate to congress.
The election of state officers, ETC., will
occur in 30 states. Legislatures will be
elected in two others, and constitu-
tional amendment will be voted upon
in one other. ALI the general interest
of the campaign seems to center on
New York, where the excitement il
most intense and the fight has been the
hottest. The registration throughout
the state has shown
Very Large Increase Over Last Year.

are three or four tickets. In Colorado

ated Governor Waite, but the party III

will vote this year makes the outconae
| unusually certain. In Tennessee the
| Republicans and Democrats have tbs
| field all to themselves, as the Peoples
| party in that state have Endorsed tbs
candidates on both tickets. In Nevada
| the silver men have nominated d
straight ticket. In some instances In
the South the Republicans have in
