Excitement.

DENVER, Colo. Nov. 2.-1nterest in the
coming election centers around the In
junction issued by Judge johnson against
Clerk Aichele Of his county, restraining
him from certifying something like 900 reg
istered names alleged TO be these of per-
sons not legal voters.
Tomorrow Mr.. Aiehele will apply TO the
supreme court for a writ of prohibition,
which. II granted, will make the injunction
inopers.ive. This Will also. It is said, bring
forth a decision as to the right Of a dis
trict Judge to issue an injunction at the
prayer of one political party 10 prevent
certihcation by the clerk OF a county.
Clerk Alchele, who was elected to his
once on the democratic ticket, declared
that a number OF the names included in
the injunction are personally known TO
him TO be legal voters and to have been
legally registered.
HELENA. Mont. Nov. 1.-The political
managers have been as busy today as at
any time during the campaign. Reports TO
both headquarters in Helena today have not
changed the claims put forth by each,
though no figures are given.
The men at headquarters say hat owing
to the new settlers and the fact that it is
necessary TO register but once in eight
years In the country districts. they cannot
calculate the total vote.
Prophets Elect Tive Governor.
ST. PAUL, Nov. 2.-vsn SAINT practi-
cally closed his campaign last night when
he finished a tour of the Mesaba range
towns. l.. A. Rosing. democratic candi-
date for governor, will close his canvass
with a mass meeting in Minneapolis tomor-
row night. There we're no developments
today that caused either Of the party man
ayers to change the claims OF success put
forth by them. Many complaints OF apathy
among the voters have reached political
headquarters and the belief is general that
a light vote will be polled.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Nov. THE cleo
tion promises to be quiet. There lie no op.
position to the democratic ticket and the
vote will, therefore, probably be light. The
only question In doubt is the proposct
amendment increasing the number OF jus
tees Of the supreme court.
RENO. New. Nov. 2.-The republican,
are much more active in the last thirty
six hours than they have been at any TIM
during the campaign. They seem to b,
confident OF success.
Francis G. Newlands. democratic candi
date for United States senator, has I'm
ployed every means at his command, in
GLIDING imported speakers, torchlight pro
c~essions and political workers.
Cleveland, republican candidate for gov
ernor. lie putting up a much stronger hgh
than Sparks, democrat. The fight between
these two will be very close.
F. ]. Button, republican candidate 70
lieutenant governor, will probably bea
Lem Allen.
Many predict a republican landslide. bu
the fusionists claim the state by a major
ity ranging from 500 to 1000.
NEW YORK, Nov. 2.-oD the eve of tn
election there Is no abatement OF confden
predictions OF success by the leaders q
both parties. While estimates OF majoritie
as high as 30. 900 are banded about by tn
extreme partisans, the most conservatfv
calculations point to a victory either wa
by probably not more than 10000 or 1900
Predictions are largely based on widel
divergent estimates OF the democrats vot
in the Bronx and Of the republican strengt
throughout the state.
No heavy bets we're reported today, bu
many small wagers we're made at the pre-
vailing odds Of 2 to on Odell. In som
instances higher odds we're laid, but n
considerable amount Of money was place.
