THE ELECTIONS.

Elections will be held in eleven States
on Tuesday, November 3. Full State
tickets are to be voted for in Massa-
chusetts, Rhode Island, Maryland,
Ohio Kentucky, Iowa, snd Mississippi,
while in New York, Pennsylvania,
Nebraska, and Colorado justice of the
upper courts, regents of the State uni
yersity, or minor State officers are to be
selected in Greater New York, San
Francisco, and Salt Lake.
In Virginia, members of the legis-
lature and county officers are to be elected.
The most interesting contests in the
East are the State elections in Maryland
and Rhode Island and the municipal
and county contests in New York city.
In Maryland the Offices of governor,
comptroller. and attorney general will
be filled. Edwin Warfeld, the demo-
cratic candidate, is fighting the issue
with Stevenson A. Williams, the republic
can nominee. The legislature to be elect
ed will choose a successor to Senator
McComas, republican.
Governor, lieutenant governor, secre-
tary of state, attorney general, and
treasurer will be selected in Rhode Isl
and. Samuel p. Colt heads the repub-
lican ticket, and Lucius Garvin, the
present executive, occupies the same
position on the democratic ticket. Last
year Garvin upset the plans of the re-
publicans by securing an election, al
though every other other successful
candidate was a republican.
In Ohio the Struggle has narrowed
down to a fight 10 defeat Marcus A.
Hanna and the democrats have fair
chances of success.
In Kentucky, Coy. Beckhan will be
reelected.
The democrats expect large gains in
Massachusetts.
VIRGINIA.
Virginia will next Tuesday elect all
members of the lower branch Of the
legislature and one-half the Senate. In
addition all the county officers are to be
elected throughout the State. With but
few exceptions the election will be the
tamest ever held in Virginia. The
democrats are sure to elect large
majority of the members of the legisla-
ture and in most Of the counties the
election of local officers seems to be Of
most interest.
There are no State officers TO be elected
this year by the people, though there are
many ''capitol ofliceS b" to be chosen by
the legislature-an auditor second audi
tor, register of tho land office, public
printer and other minor officers. The
legislature will convene the second We'd
nesday in January, 1904, and will con
tinue sixty days, beipg limited to that
time by the new constitution, but an adj
ditional thirty day may be called by the
governor.
January /, 1904, will find eighty of
the old county judges relieved from
duty. In place of the 100 county courts
which have been in e& istence for many
years, there will be substituted twenty
four circuit courts.
The legislature willy have to elect a
United State senator to succeed Senator
Daniel, but as he has Reen declared the
nominee by the democratic State COM
mittee he will have no Opposition IN the
party before the Legislature and will
therefore be chosen to succeed himself.

Attention Of Commissioners Called to
Its Condition.

Abbie NJ. Sisson. principal of the Lang
don school. has called to the attention of
the Commissioners the condition of Queens
Chapel road between the school and the
electric car tracks. The superintendent of
roads has reported that the condition for
vehicle travel on the Chapel road between
Brentwood and Langdon had been very bad
this winter. The road Is entirely unim-
proved to surface and the natural con-
dition is heavy clay in which ruts form
that hold water. There Is but little vehicle
travel over it. and in view of the fact that
10th street from Langdon to the Brentwood
road is shortly to be opened it is not be-
lieved that this thoroughfare should re-
ceiye an expenditure toward the improve
ment of the roadway except in the nature
of shaping it up and diverting drainage to
a gutter.
