END OF HOT FIGHT
IN PENNSYLVANIA

Harrisburg, Pa, Nov. 1.-Ose of
the most spirited political campaigns
Pennsylvania has Witnessed in recent
years is being brought to a close to-
day with rousing rallies In every
county of the state.
Neither side is leaving a stone I'm.
turned in its effort to SCORE q victory
at the polls next Tuesday. The Re.
publican campaign managers declare
themselves satiaied with the outlook
and appear confident that their tick
ct, headed by ex-Judge Samuel W.
Pennypacker, will win out by q large
majority.
On the other hand the Democrats
with Ex-Governor Robert e. Pattison
as their standard bearer, believe they
have an excellent chance Of sweeping
the state, Notwithstanding the big
normal Republican majority. AS
sisting the regular Democrats are the
independent Republicans, who are
opposed to Quayism, and thousands
OF admirers of John P. Elkin, who
believe that the latter was cheated
out of the Republican nomination
through Quay's devices. The Demo.
cratic leaders are also making the
most of the popular impression that
if the Quay legislature had rassed
legislation in the interest of to
miners at the last session there would
have been NJ strike. Consequently
the Democrats are banking on q
large labor vote for Pattison.

today it is expected that every import
ant saw mill firm Of Arkansas, Ten.
nessee. Mississippi and Louisiana
will be taken into the membership of
the Hardwood Manufacturer Associa-
tion. The purpose is to protect the
interests of the manufacturers against
the wholesale dealers, who are in the

The diffel encos between the manu-
faoturers and the Wholesale dealers
arose at the last meeting of the Hard
wood Association over the question of
uniform grading and inspection, the
former fayoring the adoption of these
measures and the latter disappearing.
Tho wholesale dealers con place the
lumber in any grade they wish and
the manufacturer, it is said, has no
reoourse. The manufacturers in the
new movement declare that they will
become so strong through organiza-
ton that they will either force the.
National Hardwood Association to
make desired concessions or will elm
mate the wholesalers, selling directly
to the consumer.

Shoe Trade i'm the West.

Chicago, ILL.,, Nov. 1.-Western
manufacturers and jobbers OF shoes
report a great increase in the business
done during the ten months just
closed. The figures for the shipments
indicate that the central and western
states are more and more making
their own shoes and taking their home
market away from the Eastern houses.
In every center west Of Ohio, Sep.
tember and October were the best
months the dealers have known. The
gain has been steady but gradual
through the preceding months, but
with the close Of October it was found
an unprecedented increase had been
scored. On the other hand, Boston
reports that it is nearly 400, 900 cases
behind last year. The conclusion is
drawn by those in the trade that the
Eastern center that for so many years
had control of the business is losing
its hold.
