Eleven States are to hold elections for
State officers this year. There Is very
little general interest in these. however
for the results can not be said to be far
reaching; in none of the contests does Ma
tonal politics enter to any appreciable de-
gree.
Iowa elects governor and State ofh-
GERS Kentucky, a governor and other
State officers; Maryland, governor and
both houses of the legislature; Massa-
chusetts, a governor, other State officers
and both branches OF the legislature; Mis-
sissppi, a governor, State officers and
legislatures Nebraska, justices of the SUI
preme court and regents of the State uni
veTsity; New Jersey, eight State senators
and sixty members of the lower house
New York, $50 members of the general
assembly and several judges of the SUI
preme court; Virginia, secretary of state
treasurer and legislature; Ohio, governor
and State officers; Pennsylvania, State
treasurer and supreme court judges.
OF the legislatures to be chosen, those
in Virginia, Iowa and Mississippi will have
State senators elected in New Jersey will
hold over and have a hand in the election
OF the successor to Senator Sewell.
There is, of course, much local interest
in the senatorial contests in Virginia,
where a strong effort is being made in
some quarters to compass the defeat OF
Senator Martin. and in Mississippi where
the three cornered contest between Nc
Laurin, Allen and Williams has attracted
much attention; but Iowa Will re-elect
Senator Gear; and so far as the political
effect Of these elections is concerned, II
will be nil.
Ohio is always able to attract attention
In one way or another. Just now there
is a good deal of bitterness among the
republican factions growing out of MIR.
