 The feature of the eve of the election was the marked activity in rallying on the part of the Republicans. The Democratic rallies were comparativ- ely few. It Is upon the vote for gov ernor and the choice of congressmen in various districts that the claims of the Republicans and Democrats are in conflict. the success of the Roosevelt electors being conceded by the Demo- crats. The Democrats claim the elec- ton of William L. Douglas, candidate for governor and they will be disap- pointed if this not being achieved. Governor Bates plurality Is not reduced to small margin.
 Republicans concede the Ninth and Tenth Congressional Districts to the Democrats. The Democrats maintain the remaining districts will be Repub- lican. with the exception of the Third. Fifth and Eleventh, where they have put forth unusual efforts to elect the Democratic nominees. The notable Congressional District Is the Eleventh. which Is located in Boston, where Con- gressman Sullivan. Democrat, Is op- posed by Eugene N. Foss. Republican. Foss, who was defeated two years ago by Sullivan, has based his campaign largely upon his work in behalf of re- ciprocity with Canada.
 That the Legislature will be Repub- lican is conceded by the Democrats. and the return of Henry Cabot Lodge to the United States Senate Is practs- callY assured.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1904-10-24

The Democratic statement that per-
sonalities "some of them scurrilous"
have been introduced in the campaign,
are without foundation except in the
case of the three candidates for dele
gate to Congress, who seem to be hav-
ing their own little game of mud-throw-
ing and may be left to fight it out. In
cidentaly, it might be mentioned that
the commencement appears to have
been by Iaukea and his supporters,
whose high minded purpose to have
poor Norris Keohokalole take the
stump has been defeated by failure
of efforts to get him here.
