Special Dspatc to The Evening Star
BOSTON, Mass, November 4.--With the
republican rally in Faneuil Hall at noon to-
day the Massachusetts, campaign practical
ly closed 1t has been a relatively brief
campaign and not an eventful one. There
has never been question as TO the re-elec-
tion of Governor Greenhalge, and the only
point to be decided on election day is the
size of his plurality. But this IS important
in the light it will throw on the prospects
in the state next year when presidential,
congressional and state tickets will all be
in the field.
The uncertain factor in bay state politics
this year is the a. p. A. organization. No
one has yet been able to determine its
strength in the state, but from the anti
Grcenhalge showing in the state :onEen-
ton. it would seem that about one-third OF
the republican party will be in sympathy
with the order.
They had influence enough in the conven-
ton to secure platform which they all m
dorsed and will undoubtedly prefer Green
halge running as its exponent to Williams.
who is personally as hostile to them as
Greenhalge, and stands on platform which
denounces their order by name. Greenhalge,
therefore can count on the full republican
vote.
1t is quite certain, moreover. that he will
get many Irish-Amer:can votes, not only as
au Offset to any possible A.P.A. detection.
but because Williams, when running for
Congress against General Draper. made a
speech severely scoring Patrick Egan, their
minister to Chile.
Republicans put Greenhalges probable
plurality at $1,000 or $4,000, aud democrats
give him 40.O,O to 10000. There is certainly
no reason to believe he will fall below his
last years plurality of 5000. but will he
carry Boston, with its normal 10000 demo-
cratic majority? g3f
Republicans claim that he will, but demo-
Gratis, with more show of probability say
that no disaster is likely to sweep the classic
hub from their control

GORMAN IS CONFIDENT.
He Expects to Carry ;. the State
MarylRnl Tomorrow.

He Expects to Carry ,. the State Of
Maryland Tomorrow.
Senator German of Maryland walked
down 18th street this morning, the pic
of man who has something good in store
for himself in the near future. The dig
nifty, almost amounting to taciturnity, of
the Maryland Senator is known to every
GRE. Whether the political caEds are turn
ing up trumps or spots, as rule, there Is
no movement of a muscle on. the face of
German. He is unreadabfe, and his words
are In accord with his outward appearance
for they civulge nothing of the sentiments
of the Senator except those which it is his
desire that every one should know, ard
which are calculated to advance his cause.
For this reason the Senator's appearance
of confidence, may be significant. He was
met by a Star reporter who remarked that
tomorrow would be an important day for
Maryland. =.
if recalling the affairs of his native state
to mind, as lawyer might the facts of
one of his legal cases, I'VE have an election
ever in Maryland tomorrow
Then the Senator smiled. and when asked
if he had made up his mind what The fig
ures would be. again replied:
"Oh. l never give figures until after the
election That is the best way to DO it.
But we will carry the state. There is no
doubt about that We have had a pretty
lively and interesting campaign; but we
always have that in Maryland. Both sides
have been heard. and. having presented the
case. it goes to the people,
You are not feeling uneasy about the re-
sult?'
"Oh, no; not in the least" And the SEN
ator gave smile of confident satisfac ton
as he turned up II street going toward the
Arlington Hotel.

Special Dispatch TO The Evening Star.
CUMBERLAND, Md, November A.
Lloyd Lowndes arrived in this city early
yesterday morning, after having practically
closed his campaign with rousing meet
ing at Hagerstown Saturday night. Mr.
Lowndes was seen this morning by Star
reporter and said that nc was feeling very
we'll after his long and hard campaign.
''The work. said Mr. Lowndes (which
would otherwise have been tedious, has
been greatly lightened by the kind manner
with which l have been received at all the
places 1 have visited.
II went into this campaign to win on the
merits of the party's platform and feel
confident that we will win.
Il have tried to make the campaign a
clean one. and feel that l have done so.
The result will be known said Mr..
Lowndes, ION next Wednesday, when it
will be seen that the republicans and many
Independent democrats have become tired
of the rule of ringsters and bosses, and
the old state will be free once more"
Mr. Lowndes has resumed his duties at
the bank of which he is president, and is
clearing away the work which has accu-
mulated during his absence from this city.
The political pot is boiling merrly here
today, and the candidates on both local
tickets are making door-to-door canvass
The democrats do not concede this county,
but that Lowndes will get about 100 ma
JoIily, NHiie lle IepuHiicduS are cOn11dent
of giving him at least double that number
Sentiment for Mr. Lowndes Is growing
each hour throughout the county. j. B.
Wright of Philadelphia is touring this
county, sent here, it is said by democrats
to raise dissenson among the miners and
labor organizations. This tour has been
anything but satisfactory to Mr. Wright,
as the miners and labor organizations Of
the Georges creek region met at Frost
burg Saturday night and decided to sup
port Mr.. Lowndes. The Frostburg Mining
Journal, which has taken no part in the
campaign up to this time, came out for
Mr.. Lowndes today.

ELECTION NIGHT BULLETINS.
The Stars Complete Arrangements for
Quick and Accurate Service.

Quick and Accurate Service.
The Star has made preparations for a
prompt and complete display of election
returns tomorrow night, and has provided
facilities that should give the most COM
plete information regarding the battle Of
the ballots to every citizen of the District
giant screen has been erected on the
curb opposite the main building on the
avenue side, where the displayed returns
can be viewed by many thousands of peo-
pie gathered in the open space in front Of
the post office site. The display of re-
turns Will begin as soon as there Is suffi-
cient darkness to enable the letters on the
screen to be seen from. the street, and will
be continued until decisive intelligence has
been received from the several points of
interest throughout the country Realiz-
ing that the success of an election night
bulletin depends upon the frequency and
freshness of its items, The Star has made
arrangements for the receipt of returns
from several reliable sources. 1t is expected
that with this complete service The Star
will be able to provide the people with
election news Of the latest description and
the most reliable character, while cartoon
lists and poets will be on hand to enliven
such moments of waiting as may intervene
between dispatches.
The Stars mechanical equipment in this
direction is unsurpassed and owing to the
use of improved devices it is able to throw
the clearest possible characters upon the
screen without the least delay, giving black
letters upon white ground, which Is a
departure from the old-time methods in
stereopticon work. The sun sets tomorrow
at 5:37 o'clock and darkness intervenes a
very few minutes from that hour SO that
in all probability the 1rst returns displayed
on the screen will be flashed at about @
o'clock, which will give the people chance
to get dinner and to return early to the
vicinity of The Star office to get good
places from which the bulletins can be
seen.

THE RAM kATAHDIN,
Indications That 1t Mny Not BE Re-
jected.

Indications That 1t May Not Be Re-
jected.
The indications are that the ram Katah-
din will not be rejected, notwithstanding
her failure to accomplish all that was re-
CURED of her in the matter of speed. AS
the vessel, which is otherwise perfect, made
several hundred horsepower more than she
was originally designed for, it is now quite
apparent that the difficulty lies in the pc
culiar model of the ship, which the Bath
iron works did not design or alter in ary
way. They are not pressing for another
trial, believing that all that is possible has
been gotten out Of the boat. AS the law
under which the katahdin was built i'm
posed no requirement as to speed, and the
only stipulation on that point is contained
in the contract, it is probable that Secre-
tary Herbert may decide. in view of the
fact that there was no bid in competition
with that Of the Bath iron works, to ar
range for the acceptance of the vessel,
with perhaps slight deduction from the
contract price.
The vessel has been ordered to proceed
to the r; Wy yard, New York, to await fur
tier action. Mr.. c. E. Hyde, president of
the Bath iron works, does not believe the
government will reject the vessel. Her OFF,
cial speed was 1911 knots whereas her re-
quired speed was seventeen knots.

SPENDING TOO MUCH MONEY
That is the Opinion of Ex-Congressman
Holman.
He Thinks Appropriations for Rivers
and Harbors Should Be Cut Down
No Third Term Talk In Indiana.

Ex-Congressman Holman of Indana-it is
his first appearance on the ex list in many
years-is in the city short visit AL
| though out of Office his interest in public
affairs still keeps up. and his voice, of
yore, is still for economy.
In conversation with a representative
of The Star Judge Holman said:
Spending Too Much Money.
eve are spending too much money!
great deal too much money. We have
been doing so now for some years. The
figures were raised out of all reason by the
Fifty-first Congress, and they have been
kept high ever since. What the coming
Congress will do there are, of course, no
means Of telling. Presumably, however
the appropriations will again be large.
1t was suggested that Senator Quay had
already put out an ambitious scheme, call
ing for large sum for rivers and harbors
alone.
$50 see," replied Judge Holman "And
1 am not surprised to see 1t. That for a
long time. has been a favorite channel for
spending the public money. One year re-
Gently. you will remember, the amount
reached the enormous figure of $39,OOOt1 900.
But sooner or later the thing must stop.
1t Is not justified at all. There is really
no justification for using S500,000.O0O per
annum for the support of this government.
Three hundred and fifty millions at the
outside ought to be made to answer any
legitimate purpose, and could be made to
do so if Congress would take hold of the
matter in the proper spirit
Apply the Pruning Knife.
Where should the pruning knife be ap-
plied?''
"Oh, in a number Of places. There'd be
| no difficulty about. pointing them out if
Congress could only be brought to take up
the knife"
"Eut not to pensions?" was asked.
NO not to pensions. That money is well
expended. The people have no cause to
complain and do rot complain. about that.
The amount anyhow is now at its maxi
num- 1t will constantly, and presently rap
idly diminish by the passing away of the
old soldiers, and this will be true even if
the law is amended to include a service
pension. 1 expect to see a service pension
paid by the government"
What is the general outlook for the
country?'
Times Are Improving.
ut is encouraging. The times are i'm
proving, are bound to improve. "A great
country like ours cannot be kept down for
any great length of time. OF course we
should meet this upward tendency with
wise legislation. Not only should we stop
should give very careful attention to our
currency question. That is very great
question, and is likely to give both parties
considerable trouble next year"
rs there any third term talk in Indiana?'
Judge Holman looked amused. mo, and
somehow l can't persuade myself that there
is any serious talk of that kind anywhere
Surely the democratic party will have
enough on its hands next year without
taking that up"

their claim is regarded merely as political
