POLITICAL
REVIEW

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. Sits
practically all over but the shouting,
Nobody yet knows who will do the
shouting, but the minds of the people
are made up, the campaign closes to-
night, and the election OF Tuesday
will only be to secure an official record
OF decision already made.
Six national conventions have nomi-
mated candidates for the Presidency
and for the vice presidency. Theodore
Roosevelt. of New York. was nominal
dented for President and Senator
Charles W Fairbanks, OF Indiana for
Vice President, by the Republicans at
Chicago. Alton b. Parker. of New York
for President and Henry G. Davis, oil
West Virginia for Vice President, We're
put up by the men in control of the
Democratic convention at St Louis.
In their national convention at Spring
field, Ill, the Populists nominated
Thomas e Watson, of Georgia, for
President, and Thomas II. Tibbles, Oh
Nebraska, for Vice President. The
Prohibitionists at their convention at
Indianapolis put up DR.. Silas G. Swal-
lows, OF Pennsylvania. for President
and George w. Carroll, of Texas, for
Vice President. The Socialist party
brought out Eugene V. Debs. of ILL
MOS. for President and Benjamin Han
ford, of New York, for Vice Presi-
dent. The sixth ticket in the field is
that of the Socialist Labor party
headed by Charles H. Corregan, oil
.>ew York, for President and William
". Cox of Illinois for Vice president
Broadly speaking, the campaign
now closing has been remarkable fol-
the general apathy displayed by the
country at large. The national con
vention at St Louis in July resulted
in the old-line or conservative element
regaining control Of the Democratic
party The consequence of this was
that the financial question, which was
the burning issue in 1896 and again
in 1900, was eliminated from the cam
paign this year. This left the old sub
ject OF tariff revision as the chic
issue. Other questions have beer
brought to the front by both of th'
leading parties. but they have faile,
utterly to arouse the voters to any
thing like the interest displayed IL
the campaigns of four and eight year
ago.
A remarkable feature OF the cam
paign is that each Of the two leadlui
