The States that Elect Governors.


AS usual ante-eleCtiOn claims of more
or less reliability are put forth by the
party managers in each state, based
in many instances upon hopes rather
than upon reliable data. The principal
interest centers in the election of con-
gressmen, as the minds of a great
many the APPROVAL or condemnation Of
the administration course in the con-
duct of the war with Spain is at stake.
In New York state alone is there a
really sentimental issue between Van

governor, against Theodore Roosevelt,

candidate, has been quite sharply
drawn and vigorously fought. Each
side is making about equal claims in
the general result with equally posi-
tive assurance; and as one side or the
other must base its claims on false
premises, it must be left for the voters
to decide. One of the latest New
York straws is a report that on Wall
street the betting is quoted at to 8

One Of the Improvements which fair
visitors and exhibitors will most ap-
preciate Is the new water supply. The
last pipes were laid yesterday connect
ing the grounds throughout with an
artesian well at. Lake Como, and here
after the purest water in abundance
will be available everywhere on the
grounds. No water whatever will be
used during the fair out Of the old
wells. Secretary Randall says the
water in these wells has been analyzed
and found to- be free Of every impurity.
notwithstandingqt claims Of certain
physicians, but that to eliminate every
possible suspicion of the water supply
on the grounds, only the artesian water
will be in use next week. Another i'm
provement, which will be completed
within a day or two, is q telephone
line running from the secretary's Office
to the other buildings on the grounds.
This will enable easy communication
and more expedition in the transaction
Of business.

ment is concerned" said Secretary

eral years threshing machinery will
also be at work on ene grounds.
In the dozen or more big cattle barns
everything has been put in order for
the blooded stock which it is expect
ed VIII begin to arrive on the grounds
by tomorrow, when the Great North
ern railroad will be ready to run cars
into the grounds. So substantial has
been the growth of interest among
cattle breeders in the Minnesota state
fair that Secretary Randall says the
stock display this year will be inter-
national. The National Breeders as
ISOLATION, he says, has offered prem
1uns Tor theCprize winners at the fair
and this fact alone. 1t is said, will
bring many additional entries over
previous years. New managers have
been placed in all of the barns, which
have been thoroughly overhauled and
cleaned. Arrangements have been
made for owners to readily procure
food for their stock and ait present it
seems that nothing Is IN the way Of
this department being in a state of
completeness on the opening day Of the
fair.
The sheep barns and pens for the
prize "porkers" have been newly white
washed and are ready for occupancy.
Yesterday Secretary Randall received
request from Supt. Parlin, of the poul-
try department, for additional space
to that afforded by the poultry build
ing. The display of fowls already ex-
ceeds in number that of any other fair
and a large tent will be erected near
the building for the overflow.
The demand for space in the horti-
cultural building has been so great that
it has been necessary to provide double
the number Of tables, benches and
shelves formerly in use. These utilities
are in place, freshly painted, ready for
the bounteous products Of Minnesota
soil. The fountain in this building has
been put in perfect working order and
will be running during the fair At the
base Of the fountain an aquarium has
been arranged and different kinds Of
live fish from streams throughout the
state will be kept here.
Under the grand stand the former
betting ring has been fixed up to re-
ceive the county displays. This feature
Of the fair has always proved one Of
the most interesting to the country
visitors and the rivalry among the con-

NACADAM FOR CITY ROADS
THE ASSEMBLY COMMITTEE ON
STREETS CONSIDERS ITS USE

1t Is Rejected as Far as Summit
Avenue Is Concerned, but VIII Be
Used on Other Streets to Be Inn
proved Next Year-It VIII BE In
expensive Compared With Other
Paving.
At the last meeting Of the assem-
bly, preliminary orders were introduced
from the board Of public works for the
macadamizing Of several miles Of
streets in the Seventh ward.
The consideration Of the proposed
improvements came UP before the as
sembly committee on streets at meet
ing yesterday afternoon. The only OPP
position to the passage Of the orders
was from the property owners on sum-
init avenue between Dale and the Mis-
sissippi river.
F. A REM, Gen. G. C. Andrews, H.
w. Topping and NJ. H. Foley protested
against the macadaIniZing OF the street.
F. A. REM said he had looked over
the avenue from Dale street to Smelling
avenue and found the street in excel
lent condition. If the majority Of the
owners however, insisted on the street
being macadamized, he supposed the
minority would have to stand 1t. Moth
ing. he said, but grocers' wagons and
Carriages travelled over the avenue be-
tween the points he had mentioned,
and from Smelling avenue to the river
not one-fifth of the property owners
could afford to pay an assessment, and,
If the avenue was macadamized, 1t
would simply be confscation Of the
property.
All the owners Of property along the
street had paid in taxes and assess
nents more than the property was
worth. His property had cost s3,S25,
and he had paid in taxes and assess
ments within 1925 what the property
had cost and today he could not sell
it for the original price and the cost
of the taxes and assessments.
1t was an outrage to force the i'm
provement on the owners, especially
as the street was in much better con-
dition than thOroughfares in other
parts of the city.
Assemblyman Craig also volunteered
the statement that the Improvement
was not needed. Assemblyman Kirke
said the board had sent in the prelim-
mary orders for the purpose of secur-
ing prices as to the expense OF ma
cadamizing, it being understood that,
unless a lot Of the work was done. it
would be impossible to secure any very
low bids from the contractors.
II. w Topping and NJ. H. Foley
stated that the avenue was in good
