IN ELECTRICAL STORM.
Disturbance Of the atmosphere
affects Wires.

An electrical disturbance that noticed first
at a. m yesterday. and which continued for
several hours charged the atmosphere mildly with
electricity and inteTered slightly with Geographic
and telephone communication. The disturbance.
while noticeable caused only little delay to the
telegraph service, and was even less noticeable on
telephone lines. Assistant General Manager Barker
Of the Western Union. said that the effects of the
storm the wires were noted from London to
Chicago, the Atlantic cable well land lines
being affected.
These electrical disturbances are rare" said Mr..
Barker. the last which l remember being in
lSSs. The disturbance is only Intermittent. how
ever and Is not sufficient to interrupt service.
They are very common in Newfoundland and in
the North, and generally accompany a display OF
the aurora boreals. They last sometimes for two
three days. and then disappear mysteriously
teTruptions."
Manager Shirley of the Postal Telegraph Com
pany said that the disturbance had been noticed
by his wire chiefs, but that 1t failed 10 interrupt
traffic. At the Weather Bureau there was no
record OF the electrical disturbance. The recording
instruments did not denote its presence.
The Commercial Gable Company has issued the
following notice: We have been notified that

LOOKS SURE FOR HANNA.
JOHNSONiS GAME UP.
His Manager Falls Back on old
Corruption Fund Tall.

Cincinnati. Oct 31-The campaign in Ohio
practically closed tonight with rallies every
where. The election on Tuesday is for a full
State ticket and members Of the legislature that
selects the successor Of Senator Hanna For
the FIRST time in this State the two parties have
had nominees for Senator. John II. Clarke, OF
Cleveland. and Senator Hanna have canvassed
the entire State. and the Senate fight has
predoninated over state affairs. Mr.. Clarke has
been Joined by Mayor johnson in attacking Sen
ator Hanna while the senator has directed his
batteries principally at johnson. The fight has
largely been personal one between Johnson and
Senator Hanna. the Mayor being accused Of be-
ing the real candidate for Senator as well as
for Governor and prospectively candidate for
the Democratic nomination for President next
year.
Colonel Myron 7. Herrick. the Republican can
didste for Governor has never held public Of
fee and has not been the subject of attacks. hut
no Ohio campaign was ever so full Of personal
ities as the one just closed. What was said
about Hanna on the one side and about johnson
N the other has been most bitter. The Repub-
n.ane have had many well known speakers. in
Guiding Senators and Representatives, from
other States on the stump, while ". j. Bryan
has been about the only visiting Democratic
speaker of national reputation.
TIE Indications are that johnson will get
most of the Socialist vote. which was over H.
600 last year. but it is very doubtful if the
whole Of that vote would equal his Democratic
losses All predictions are that the Republicans
viii elect their State ticket by a large plural
ity and the only claims CT the Democrats are
for the legislature. II is held by the Demo
Gratis that the Republicans might elect their
state ticket by $4,000 plurality and yet lose the
legislature. AT Cleveland. where the candidates
for Governor and Senator I've, the result is in
doubt as il is at Toledo where Mayor Jones is
supporting johnson. and at Columbus. where
factional fights prevail These three places
alone elect twenty-five members Of the legls-
!ature. and. If the Democrats carry all OF them
they may be able to defeat Senator Hanna
Charles p. Salen. chairman Of the Democratic
State Executive Committee, tonight issued a
statement in Cleveland in which he said:
Those Republican voters who regard cidzen-
ship above party. and who revolt against the
political commercialism VIII cast their votes
for the Democratic nominees throughout the
State.
In the contest for Governor, Mr.. johnson has
the opposition Of the boodlers of his own party.
Whatever the result the million dollar FUND
which the corporations have placed at MI
Hanna's disposal in this campaign makes II
certain that the moral forces Of the State and
nation must for the time drop all other issues
in supreme effort to eliminate boodlelsiil
from American politics.
