WISCONSIN,.

Milwaukee, Wis, November 5.-That the Roosevelt and Fairbanks electors VIII carry Wiseossln on Tuesday next, there seems to be no question. The main strug- gle for supremacy is over the guberna- torial and congressional tickets. While there are six state tickets in the field only two, the republican ticket, headed by Governor Robert M. LaFollette, and the democratic ticket, headed by George w Peck, expect to carry the day.
 Governor LaFolette has made the most extensive canvass in his career, and re- ports received at the republican state central committee headquartrs give the IaFollette officials every reason to be- lleve that the governor will be reelected by plurality ranging btween 5O,OOO and 75,0O0.
 On tie other hand, the democrats figure from their reports that Peck will carry the state from 25,OOO to 10000. They fg- ure that the dlssensIon in republican ranks will cost Lafollette 50,OeO votes, and they add to this about 15,0O0 votes which they claim were formerly for 1afollette but will now be cast for the social demo- cratic ticket The democrats will lose heavily by the social democratic vote. In the congressional fight the republicans are practically sure of carrying six of the seven districts, and the democrats one Tn the Third hot fight has been waged by the Lafollette following against J. w Babcoek but he is expected to pull | through

Telephones In HospltaIs.

From the Electrical World and Engineer.
 In Philadelphia, 1t is stated, telephones are to remove the barrier between in- mates of the Municipal hospital and their friends in the outside world. Dr. Edward Martin, director of charities, has com pleted arrangements whereby a complete telephone system Is to be installed in the Municipal hospital, with telephones In each ward, so that direct communication between without and within may be had. Hitherto the hospital entrance to which is forbidden to even the nearest relatives of patients, has been connected with the world by a s,ngle wire from central ex- change through the electrical bureau in city hall. Communication was irregular and slow. With an exchange on each floor and in each ward 1t Is believed that in- quiries regarding the condition of patients can be answered speedily and satisfac- torily both 70 patients and to friends.

HoMELY PRESIDENT.
Louhet as Representative of French
 Middle Class.

From Everybody's Magazine.
 The chief executive of France Is a good honest man. exactly that and nothing more. He is not brilliant. A plain home ly man, he is a rational representative of the French middle class. In Benjamin Harrison we had his equivalent in the United States. There Is no inherent greatness in him but he Is wise, patient, firm, and kindly. He has large meas ure of tact, which in a chief of state is, perhaps, the most desirable of all quali- ties. His political record Is clean, though it shows adroitness rather than any com polling force of initiative His private life has been pure and pleasant, He has all the virtues of the middle class French man-those middle-class, homely vir- tues which are the same the world over.
 When he goes his way from the Elysee there yill be little said of him but good. He in the shade of the poplars, there by the old red tiled farmhouse near Mar sanne may smoke his pipe with full con tent assured that the work that came to his hand he did as well as a man of his quality could do 1t.

NEW YORK FIGHT
 IS MOST EXCITING
Both Sides Claim the Victory and ln- terest In tho Result Is at
 Fever Heat.

New York, November 5.-Ending in ex- oitement and fevered interest in violent contrast to the tameness of It's earlier stages the campaign in this state for the selection of national electors and state officers closed tonight with speeches for the democracy by Alton B. Parker in Brooklyn, by Bourke Cochran and Mayor George B. Mcclellan in New York; by D. Cady Herrick, nominee for governor in Schenectady and by Dave B. Hill in El- mira and for the republicans by Governor Odel in Brooklyn and Frank ". Hlg- gins, nominee for governor Tn Miuule- town and Port Jeryis.
 The last days of the contest have been marked by intense public interest," owing to the personal nature of many or the speeehes made When Judge Parker Ilrse appeared as a speaker in advocacy ol his election. the boldness Of his state ments concerning his opponents challehs- ed public attention, which became Inore intense with the reply of Presldeht INoose- welt to the Cortelyou charges, ana 1oV- ernor Odells speech in which he sald MT, Parker had been interested in the United States Shipbuli ing company ana ne could prove 1t because Odel had sou Parker $25,O00 worth of that corpora tions stock. l..
 Not since the election Of CleVeldnu III 1sa2 has the New YorK democracy inaue such an elaborate organization through out the state with a view to gettihs out the vote as 1t did this year.
 Both Sides Confident.
 Tonight when the last word had been aaid and all the work done, both sides oIaimed the state for both the national ana state tickets The repubhcans' While admitting that Higgins vote mlshl pe lower than Roosevelts, declared that their gubernatorial candidate would sure lv be elected. In reply the democrats said they not only would elect Herlck' pu' would carry the state for Parker.
 The campaign for the state ticket was the most strenuously contested, ana lhe bitterest in a personal sense in many wears. From the time it became apparent that Senator Thomas c. Platt, so lonl the undisputed leader of the New forh gtate republicans, had been displaced, ano that Governor Benjamin B. Odell was IT control of the party machinery, the et' norts of the democratic managers have been directed against Odell, with view | to showing that he had been guiity o' | improper officits acts, and that ms ae' oeptance of the state chairmanship' WhiiC governor. was in violation of all political ethics. Both D. Cady Herriek, the democratic nominee, and MT. Higgins, made vigorous campaigns, speaking in most or the ciies 1 and in some of the smaller towns.

WEsr VIRGINIA.

Parkersburg, w. Va, November 5.-Ths West Virginia campaign closed tonight with both candidates for governor tod tired out to make speeches. John J. Corn wallis, the democratic nominee was ex- pected to close his campaign at Mont gomery, but was too near exhausted to make the trip.
 William o. Dawson. ne republican nom- inee. ceased speaking several days ago. The campaign has been the most wig orous in many years The republicans seem more confident than the democrats of carrying the state for the national ticket, but the democrats show greater hopefulness of the state issues. However should the democrats carry their stnse ticket through with a large plurality, II might mean that Parker and Davis would be carried with the state The outlook Tor congressman Is somewhat mixed. The democrats concede that two of the dls- tricts are hopelessly republican, but claim the other three are in doubt, while the republicans claim all tive are safe. It is admitted on both sides that there is possibility of the democrats having ma- jority on joint ballot in the legislature.
