IowAN FOR BISHOP
Or. John D. Carroll, Of ST. Joseph's
College, Dubuque, Appointed to
eishopric If Helena, Mont, to Sue.
ceed the Late Bishop BrondeI.

Special to Times Republican.
Dubukue, Nov. THE papal bull
from Rome reached here this morning
"r,ointing Father John P. Carroll.
sident OF st. Joseph's College, the
bishop of Helena, Mont 1t was
ounced some time ago that Car
man had been appointed to the
ton, but ii was not known def
nlrely whether it was the president of
st. Josephs College here or not. 1t
was generally supposed, however. that
1t was the Carroll, Of Montana. In the
meantime there was much interest
manifested in the report, because the
people of Helena were anxious to get
some information. In an interview at
the time of the announcement Carroll
said it did not look for the appointment
and did not expect it, and that it must
be the Father Carroll, of Montana.
The papal bull was received at the
college this morning officially naming
DIR. Carroll as the successor to the late
Bishop Brondel. The bishop-elect was
born and reared in Dubuque and his
loss will be deeply felt.

When Noah Said "shucks."


An old soldier whose christened

dents, died here in Washington recent

story once heard him tell. Veteran
Of '61 as he was he had listened pat
iently to the very long story a youth
ful veteran Of the Spanish war told.
The account Of hardships left him un-
moved.
Just after the Johnstown flood, my
boy" said he. there was a man in the
next world who went about telling ev-
erybody how that JohnstoWn affair
had sent him where he was. His lis-
that is except a quiet looking little
man who seemed SO little impressed
that every time the Johnstown man got
thru he merely looked bored and said.
'Oh, shucks.' The Johnstown man go,
tired of it after while 1t got on his
nerves to have anybody act Is IL what
happened at Johnstown wasn't of any
Importance. No matter how he told
the story, che quiet looking little man
merely said, oh shucks.' At last the
Johnstown man spoke to fellow who
had been there long time about it.
Say said he, who is that little
man who keeps saying "shucks"?'
"'Who?' said the man who had been
there long time. DO you mean the

dence In the outcome in West Virginia
Henry G. Davis, vice presidential can
didate. sends most encouraging reports
to headquarters, and says the state IS
no longer to be called doubtful. Della
ware democrats are claiming the state
by substantial majority but n compro-
mise has been effected by the union
and regular republicans. and 1t is eS-
pected they will give the electoral vote
to Roosevelt by at least 5000 majority.
The campaign in New Jersey has been
so heated that the respective gubef-
material candidates will not cease their
speech making until tonight. Both re-
publlcans and democrats are claiming
the electoral vote. Both parties are
preparing to bring out the full! vote III
all cities and reports to state
Headquarters contain nothing TO
materially change the outlook
for either the state or ma
tional ticket. Republicans claim the
state by 100000, while the democrats
will give no figures. merely reiterating
their confidence of success.
The republican campaign managers
predict, "a plurality in Iowa of 125,O0O
to 15O 900. The democrats claim 1T will
not be over $4,000.
Chairman Burgess expects Nebraska
to roll up for Roosevelt the largest
plurality ever given n national ticket.
The republicans adhere to the claims
that Ohio will give Roosevelt the larg-
est plurality the state ever gave pres
ident. The democrats have been con-
ccding the state by 10000, but now say
the plurality will be less than $1,000.
With Michigan conceeded to Roose-
yelt and Fairbanks by probably the
largest majority ever given presi-
Dental ticket, both candidates for gov
ernor are today making final addresses
OF a strenuous campaign. Confidence
Is expressed by the chairmen OF botfi
state central committees today as to
the outcome of the contest tomorrow
for governor. Both parties In Colorado
are confident Of victory for the
state ticket, while 1t is generally con-
ceded to Roosevelt.
The claim of the populists that their
candidate, Tom Watson. will carry
Georgia, Is dismissed without serious
consideration.
The state democratic committee
maintains Parkers plurality In Ken
lucky will not be less than $4,000. Many
republicans declare II the national tick
ct is not successful they will material
ly reduce the plurality given Bryan
four years ago.

the southeast part OF the state irdi-
Gates the democrats are In fighting
mood and ready for a line-up on Tues
day. In the First district especially
they have made good use of the EVIL
dent vu1nerability of the. republican
candidate. The fact Of his snbser-
vlency to corporation Influence has
been worked for all It is worth in the

he will be cut by e0rne republicans.
1t is not violating any confidence to say
that republicans as we'll as democrats
are watchiny the three districts men

The fact Of the large registration in
Davenport leads to the BELIEF that a
good many of the old time democrats
there have been keeping away from the
polls In other years, but are now ready
to vote. Whether this view is the
correct one can be determined after
election. The registration in Des
Moines has come up to about what II
was four years ago, and the pes Moin-
es vote will be about 1850 this year.
This vote will rather Offset the claims
OF LIE uHeClOiy lIc,ii w 0l,VVV PopulA
ton.
The Polk county republican commit
tee has gone on record as advising the
defeat of the amendment which would
increase the number of members Of the
house OF representatives. As this Is
distinctly a change in the interest OF
the smaller counties OF the state the
thought of the republican committee
is that this should be opposed in coun-
ties like Polk 1t is believed this ac-
tion will result in large vote in OPP
position to the aroandmemt.
An incentive to a large vote in Des
Moines and Polk county at this cleo
ton, which will not be felt anywhere
else in the state, is that of the pros
pective use of the primary system
Those who do not vote this year and
disclose how they vote will be practi-
cally debarred from participating In
the primaries in the future. If the
biennial elections amendment is adopt
ed the situation will be still more in
portant, for on the vote of this +,
will be based the primaries nearly tr
