tifiable the work will proceed at once
Owing TO the bitter opposition to the
action OF the Diamond State Company

towns to discuss the proposition TO put
a tax on every pole and finally drive
them out, it is thought the new com

compliance with an old political
custom, chooses it's governor and
state officers on the first Wednes-
day of October, a month before the
general election. Maine elects a
governor and other state officers
| Maine has no lieutenant governor)
on the second Monday in September.
Vermont chooses in the same month,
but a week earlier than Maine, a
governor, lieutenant governor, Sec
rotary of state and treasurer for the
term of two years, and also two
representatives in congress.
1t is noticeable that all the doubt
full and uncertain states have by de-
grees fallen out of the list of those
which hold preliminary elections,
and this list now includes only such
strong Democratic states as Ala
bama, Kansas and Georgia, and such
strong Republican states as Maine,
Vermont and Rhode Island. By
this means the indirect influences
of these preliminary elections has
been very much reduced and the in
fuence of other doubtful states cor
respondingly enhanced.
In the year of the last presiden-
tial election, 1896, the state elections
were fewer in number than this year.
Kentucky had no state election in
1896; neither did Utah. This years
election for members of the house of
representative will be the last held
under the division of districts now
existing. The census will be COM
plete this year and the next succeed
ing congress will be chosen on the
basis of the apportionment follow
ing the 1900 census and there will
be reapportionment of presidential
electors at the same time.
