ABOUT THE ELECTION
PRESIDENCY NOT THE ONLY IM-
PORTANT ISSUE.
Nearly Half the States Elect Governors
This Ycar-SOme Notable Contests.
Particularly in the west-Interest in
the Congressional Elections.

Interest in the presidential election
which takes place Nov. u is so great that
the public loses sight of the other Offices
which are to be filled that day. Not so
with the political managers. They are
in constant and close communication with
the party leaders in all the States and
both sides claim that some big surprises
are in store.
Next in Importance to the presidential
issue is the House of Representatives.
The Republican claim that they will have
a majority of II or thereabouts. The
Democrats claim that there is great hope
for them in the narrow margin which the
Republicans claim. Both sides are max
ing an aggressive congressional CAM
paign, particularly in the West, where
the principal orators of both sides are
bending all their energies in behalf of the
congressional nominees.
Nearly half the States in the Union
will elect Governors in November. Sew
eral, notably Maine, Vermont and Ore
gOn, had their gubernatorial elections in
September and the Republicans triumph
ed.
The most important State election, af-
ter that of New York, where Benjamin
b. Odell opposes John B. Stanchfeld, is
that in Illinois. Here Richard Yates,
son Of the war Governor of Illinois, is
the Republican nominee and is opposed
by Samuel Alschuler, well-to-do Au-
rora merchant. As in New York State,
the voters have appeared somewhat apa-
thetic in the governorship contest. In
diana elects a successor to Gov. James
A. Mount. One of the most spirited gov
ernOrship contests in the West is in prog
ress in Missouri, where the veteran Con-
gresham, A. Nj. Dockery, is the Demo-
cratic nominee. and Joe Flory is on the
Republican ticket. Other Western
States which elect Governors are Colo
RADIO, Kansas. Michigan. Montana, North
and South Dakota, Wisconsin, Wyoming,
Utah and Washington. Streams of ora
tory are flooding these States and hum
dreds of thousands of dollars are being
spent in red fire, bands and other cam
paign material.
Massachusetts elects Governor every
year. w. Murray Crane. the Pittsfeld
man who has served as Governor one
term, is again the Republican nominee
and expects to repeat upon Robert Treat
Paine, Jr., Boston's aristocratic but pop
ular young Democrat, the thrashing he
gave him a year ago. In Connecticut
George p. Mclean is the Republican
nominee for Governor and in New Hamp-
shire the Republican nominee is Chester
B. Jordan. The Democrats are making
little effort to elect their candidates in
these States.
Other States electing Governors are
Delaware, North and South Carolina.
West Virginia and Tennessee.
In some Of the States the legislative
contests are made interesting because
they have a bearing on the election of
United States Senators. The Senators
whose successors will be chosen by the
Legislatures to be elected this fall are
Berry of Arkansas, Wolcott of Colorado.
Kenney of Delaware. Bacon % Georgia,
Cullom Of Illinois, Dolliver of Iowa, Lind
