OUTLOOK IN CALIFORNIA.
Careful Review of Situation Gives
State to the Republicans.

SCaIe TO the hepuDl1cduS.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, November A
careful review Of the political situation in
California early today indicates the cleo
ton of the entire republican ticket includ
ing the eight representatives. From all ap
pearances now, Pardee, republican, will
have a plurality in San Francisco over
Lane, democrat.
An internal dissension broke out yester-
day, with the result that the labor union
party will vote against Lane because of the
belief that Lane democrats were knitting
Livernash and Wynn, the labor union can
didates for Congress.
Reports from the southern part Of the
state say there is neither enthusiasm nor
excitement, and the vote will go strictly on
party lines. This means a republican ma
jority from south of the mountains of about
5000. North of the mountains and outside
of San Francisco the republicans will have
a majority of about 10000.
If Pardee equals the last governorship
vote In San Francisco-and it looks as If he
would exceed it, his plurality in the state
will be about 10000. The union labor vote
in San Francisco is 14,0OO out Of a regis
tration of II 900. The total vote of the city
will probably reach LOCO. The normal re-
publican vote is 30 600 in governorship and
presidential elections. The labor vote will
draw about two from the democrats to one
from the republicans.
night in which he said that assurances re-
ceived from every county in the state made
him certain of election, with an increased
majority over that given to Gage four years
ago Gage had plurality of 10000. Kahn
says his election is certain, and Loud also
predicts his election. Coombs, in the
second district wires that he is safe. His
was the most doubtful district in the state.

MASSACHUSETTS.
Early Reports Showed the Vote to Be
Up to the Average.

BOSTON, November 4.-With clear skies
and a warm atmosphere, the expectation Of
the party managers that Massachusetts
would poll a large vote seemed likely to be
fulfilled. The polls opened at o'clock.
Early reports from various sections showed
that the vote at the opening was generally
up to the average, and by o'clock there
were prospects that the total would be high.
Boston, with very heavy registration and
congressional contests in three districts In
the city, as well as a deep interest in the
local option issue, is expected to cast a
heavy vote.
BOSTON, November 4-Reports from all
sections of the state up to noon indicated
that the vote was exceeding expectations,
save In one or two instances. There were
indications that Bates, the head of the re-
publican ticket, was being cut. and that
CASTOR, the democratic candidate for gov
ernor, was running ahead of his ticket.
The new state law compelling factories to
give their employees two full hours for vot-
ing after the opening of the polls contrib
uted to the increased vote.
In Boston the polling progressed quietly,
with one arrest for attempting to vote lille
gally.

rily darken the sky. The democrats are
also anxious, giving evidence that their
confidence of a few weeks past has been
forced.
The wagering favors Gov La Toilette, re-
publican candidate for governor, whose sup
porters are giving odds. Mayor Rose closed
his campaign with a speech in the hall of
the exposition building to an audience that
was somewhat larger than that which as
sembled to hear La Toilette on Saturday
night 1t was a thoroughly drummed up
affair to offset the big republican gathering,
and 1t will have an effect in this county at
least. Gov. La Toilette closed with an ad-
dress to the voters of Waukesha county, at
Waukesha, last evening.
Estimates as to the result are all In the
air. and can fairly be characterized as
mere guesswork. The oldest politicians are
at sea; but behind all the doubt there is a
feeling that the republicans will carry the
state by 10000 plurality and elect ten and
possibly eleven congressman.
The latest from the sixth district, which
has been almost conceded to the democrats,
Is that William H. Froehlich, the repub-
hcan candidate. has made a wonderful can
vass and may be elected. The fight will be
close in the fourth, fifth and tenth dis
tricts also.

Interest in Fifth Judicial District.
After the governorship, interest In the
state centered in the contest for supreme
court tusticeship in the fifth judicial dis
trict, where Attorney General Davies, reg
ular republican, is opposed by Watson M.
Rogers, leading republican lawyer OF the
district who is running on an independent
ticket and is indorsed by the democrats
A dispatch from Little Falls, which Is In
the district, said that Davies was running
behind his ticket, and another dispatch
from Oswego said that there was consid-
cradle splitting of tickets, presumably on
the justiceship.
Another point watched rather closely was
the voting for Judge of the court of appeals,
Judge Gray, who is now member OF the
court and who is a democrat, having been
indorsed for reelection by number of re-
publican lawyers in New York county and
throughout the state. Justice Werner is

convention. Both candidates for governor

Every Indication Of an Unusually
Large Vote Being Cast.

PROVIDENCE. r. l., November fla
vored with bright, crisp weather, election
day In this state gave every promise that
q very large percentage Of the registered
voters would turn out.
In most of the cities the polls opened be-
tween and 7, and activity was noticeable
all along the line.
PROVIDENCE, r. l., November 4.-The
balloting continued brisk during the fore
noon with an unusual degree of interest in
the municipal elections in Providence,
Woonsocket and in Newport account Of
the keen rivalry on local issues. From the
majority of the country districts reports of
heavy voting were received, with conditions
pointing to an even contest between Gov.
c. D. Kimball, republican, and L. F. c. Gar
win, the democratic candidate. A canvass
of the state as to the possible makeup of
the general assembly seems to indicate sue
cess for the republicans in the senate, but
that the house will be about evenly divided.
The democrats will concede the re-elec-
ton of only one Of the two republican con-
greSSmen.

Special DISPATCH to The Evening Star.
LOUISVILLE, KY, November 4.-The
campaign in Kentucky closed last night
without any unusual incident, and the pres
ent indications are that the vote will be
light. Nothing has occurred to change the
forecast already sent to The Evening Star
While the democrats have been claiming
this Qifth) district, the republicans are
more than ever confident they will re-elect
Irwin to Congress and Durelle to the court
Of appeals.
While Irwin is not as strong as Durelle,
1t is probable that the united labor candi-
date for Congress will draw enough from
the democrats to make up the difference.
Sherley, the democratic candidate bolted
Bryan in 1896, and this is not relished by
the Bryanites in the party.
The fight was continued in the eighth
congressional district yesterday, w. Lawson
Sumral, the republican candidate, and SEN
ator-eleci McCreary speaking at Richmond,
the home of the latter Reports from there
today say Madison county will go republ-
can. If this prediction is well founded GIL
bert, the democratic candidate is in danger.
The republicans are still hopeful of re-
electing Representative Moss and Chief JUS

of appeals, in the second appellate district.

L
WHEELING, w. Va, November A.
There is little change in the situation ex-
cept In the second district. The campaign
was closed Saturday. In the second the
democratic nominee, John T. McGraw,
wound up last night with three big meet
ings. He claims he has Dayton beaten by

The poll of the state as taken by the re-
publicans gives them a decided majority in
every district but the stayat-home vote
has made them fearful 1t Eow looks as If
the republicans are reasonably certain of
electing three representatives and have the
best of it in the two other districts.
They now claim the following majorties:

third Gaines, 1,5Oo; fourth, woodward,

woodward and Dayton, the democrats as
sert are undoubtedly beaten. The situa-
ton is so close that 1t is impossible to fore
cast the result in these two districts. The

LACROSSE, Wis, November 4.-For the
first time in the history of Wisconsin wo-
men entered the polling places and cast their
ballots today. Under a law passed at the
last session of the legislature women were
given the right to vote on school questions,
and for the candidates for school officers.
Hence they are voting today for the state
superintendent of schools, the county super
intendent of schools, and on an amendment
changing the term Of office for school su-
perintendent. Much interest has been mani
tested in the election by club women, but
II has gone little farther than these circles.

WEST SUPERIOR, Wis, November A
Before o'clock 10 per cent of the full vote

votes.
MILWAUKEE, November 4.-Specials
from all parts of the state indicate that
the election in Wisconsin is passing off

BLISS BY $4,000 AT LEAST.
Republicans Will Carry Michigan;
Corliss May Be Defeated.

Special DisDatch to The Evening STAR
DETROIT, Mich, November 4.-The situa-
ton in Michigan Is practically unchanged.
The entire republican state ticket will un-
doubtedly be elected by a majority ranging
from 5000 to $4,000 Governor Bliss will
run behind his ticket owing to the strong
fight being waged against ''ripperism" and
his alleged friendliness toward the Michigan
Central railroad.
The entire congressional delegation will
undoubtedly be republican, with perhaps
the exception of the member from the first
district where bitter fight continues to be
waged against Representative John B. Cor
liss, who, If he should be elected, will get
through by very narrow margin
The certainty of the state being repubti-
can has concentrated the attention of the
entire state on the fight being waged in the
city of Detroit for the mayoralty. Both
sides claim they will win, and each claims
that it will get about /, 600 majority.

Drizzling Rain and Split Tickets
Features Of Chicago.

By Associated Press.
CHICAGO, November 4.-Notwithstand-
ing a drizzling rain, early conditions indi-
Gated a heavy vote all over the city. The
chief interest centered In Representative
Lorimers district, where every effort was
made to get out a record vote. The cleo
ton commissioners were busy soon after
the polls opened with matters brought to
them for adjudication
There was much evidence of split tickets
reported by watchers throughout the city,
especially on candidates for county offices.
The polls will close at o'clock.
Both republicans and democrats were
surprised at the heavy vote cast early in
the day, and conservative estimates of both
sides place the probable total vote in the
neighborhood Of 100000. There was much
scratching.
The interest in the county ticket centered
in the Healy- Barrett fight for theshrievalty.
In many wards votes for any other republi-
can candidates were offered for Bar fett
ballots, and indications are that the demo-
cratic candidate with the labor man" put
up by the democrats will lead the ticket
No disturbances of any serious nature had
occurred up to noon.
