not been in as good shape for twenty years. Every Democrat in the State Is registered this year. and evidently expects to cast a vote. The Hepubli- can registration has not been so com plete or enthusiastic. Some Republi- cans have declined to register. or rath- CT neglected to do so, for lack of in- terest caused by dissensions within their own party. Some of the Repub- Iican negroes have not registered, hay ing. 1t is alleged, been paid by the .op- position to stay away. To offset these Democratic tendencies there is the nor nal Republican majority in Delaware and the determination of the party in power to retain its hold upon the ! State.
 A matter of concern to both Repub- licans and Democrats Is the part which Mir. Addicks will play on election day. It Is thought by many that his funds for use in emergencies of this kind are not as plentiful as in former years, and as the Legislature, even If Republican. promises to be anti-Addicks ~hisf per-. sonal interest in the campaign will not be so vivid. It makes considerable difference in Delaware whether or not there is plenty of money in circulation on election day. and in whose favor this money Is expended. The Demo- 
 can excesses in this direction and find some reasons on which to base their hope. The Republican candidate for Con- gress, Dr. Hiram R. Burton. will proba- bly be elected and his strength will nearly equal that shown by the na- tional Republican ticket. The Repub- lican State ticket will run behind the national and Congressional ticket for the reason that the harmony arrange ment between the regular and union Republicans was not complete. Dr. Chandler. the regular nominee for Gov ernor. refused to give way to the compromise candidate. President Lea, and while 1t has been stated recently that he would withdraw he has not done so up to the present time. Even If he should withdraw at late hour 1t would not materially change the re- suit, as his supporters are very bitter and would either not vote at all or would possibly cast. a ballot for the Democratic candidate.
 The fight in the legislative field Is most complicated. Every passing day, however. simplifies the situation so far as the Republican tickets are concern ed. In New Castle and Kent Counties, where there are two Republican tickets in many districts, one of these has been withdrawn within the last three days These withdrawals have taken place generally in districts where two Re- publican nominees would result in the election of Democrat. The political complexion of the next Legislature on joint ballot is certainly in doubt at this time. From some points of view it would seem that the Democrats had the best of 1t, Even if the Legislature is Republican Mir. Addicks will probably fail to win the United States Senator ship. owing to the preponderance of regular Republican candidates who are pledged against him.
 The light within the Republican ranks is as bitter as ever, but in the general fear of losing the State faction al warfare has been at least outwardly suspended until after November 8.

one duty the election of United States Senator to succeed Joseph V. Quarles, will either have a Democratic majority on joint ballot or the Repub- lican majority will be so divided be- tween the Republican factions, accord ing to the indications, as to render 1t impossible to choose a Republican for Quarles's seat, and probably prevent Republican organization of the Assem- ply and perhaps the State Senate as well.
 The Republican electoral ticket is safe, because there will be only one set of Presidential electors on the official ballot, and that under the Republican caption, under which the La Toilette State ticket is placed. The decision of the Supreme Court of the State giv- ing the La Toilette ticket the title to regularity and the exclusive right to use the term Republican" as a party designation settled the Presidential elector question also. The stalwarts say they will vote the regular ticket simply cutting La Toilette and his as- sociates on the State part of 1t. The cutting, under the circumstances. is a perplexing task and many mistakes are bound to be made, but not enough to endanger the national result.

MINNESOTA.
Republican Victory, But by Diminished MaJOrity-DakOtas for Roosevelt

Republican Victory, But by Diminished d
 MaJOrity-DakOtas for Roosevelt.
 St. Paul, Minn.. Oct. 29.-There is ev- cry evidence that Minnesota will go heavily Republican, so far as the na- tiCnal ticket is concerned, at the com Ing election, although it is believed that Roosevelt will not parallel Mo- kinley's strength and that the returns will show that his personal hold on Minnesota Republicans has been large ly overestimated. Judge Parkers can didacy has met with favor in the rank and file of the Democracy and he will poll his full party strength and the votes of many Republicans who are dissatisfied with the Roosevelt admin istration.
 On State issues Minnesota will be very close. Old line Republicans are beginning to admit that the Republican Party fight in convention, resulting in a serious split between the Dunn and Collins forces, has seriously cut down the State tickets chances of victory. Dunn, the Republican nominee, Is mak- ing a whirlwind campaign. but is be- Ing successfully met by John A John son. the Democratic nominee. Minne- sota will elect solid Republican Con- gressional delegation.
 Reports from North Dakota indicate that Roosevelt will carry the State by heavy majority, running strong in every district. The Republican State organization is working harmoniously and Is conducting an effective cam paign. The chances of the Republican State ticket are excellent.
 Similar reports of a prospective Re- publican landslide come from South Dakota.

JAILED FOR MURDER.
TObe Williams, a Negro, Brought i'm
 From Country.

Tobe Williams, negro. S5 years old, was committed to the county jail yes- terday morning by Justice R. H. Jones on a charge of murdering another negro.
 The negro was brought to the city by Deputy Sheriff Jeff Harris of Dublin Beat where the murder occurred Friday.
 It is said that the wives of the two negroes were in a row and that the husbands interposed. Williams is said to have thrown a rock at the unknown negro killing him instantly.
 Other negroes were committed to jail yesterday as follows: Lewis Poison presenting firearms and carrying con- cealed weapons; Richard Harvey, car rying concealed weapons; Teen Richardson, murder; Smith Davis, as- sauIt to murder; David Smith, assault to murder; Charles Redd. grand larceny (two cases).
 Poison, Harvey and Davis were re- leased on bonds.
 Teen Richardson. was brought to Montgomery from the mines to answer the charge of complicity in the murder of 1nee Williams, a negro girl He was arraigned in the criminal court yesterday. He is serving a sentence in the mines for assaulting a street car motorman.

COLORADO. .
Republican National Victory Seems As- Sured, but Democratic State
 TtoNat May Win,


 Sured, but Democratic State Ticket May Win. Denver. Col. Oct. 29.-Odds in local pool rooms on the result or the oId'e election of Colorado are Il to on Ava Adams, There is little betting on the result so far as the natlonai tickets are concerned. Bets are or fered freely that President Roosevelt will carry the State with few takers.
 The fight being waged over the Gov ernorship eclipses everything else ID Colorado. It Is claimed by some that the tide Is setting toward Governor Peabody now but there Is little to sup port the statement and there IS no reason to change the prediction al- ready made by The Herald. Alvs Adams will be elected by plurality close to 1000 at a conservative ngure' It is probable that President Hoose- welt will carry the State by plurality considerably under that or Aoahs' There will be much scratching.
 The dominant purpose of voters who decide to scratch will be to vote against Governor Peabody. At the last mo- ment many will decide to sake no chances and vote straight. Thus they will vote the Democratic ticket for the single purpose of voting against Pea body.
 John F. Shafroth, Democrat, wIll ue feat Representative Franklin E. brooKs for Congress at large by plurality of several thousand. The race in the Second District between Representa- tive Herschel M. Hogg and Joseph F. Maupin may be close, but the election of HogS by a good plurality is indi- cated. The chances in the First Dis trict seem to favor Clay B. Whitford Democrat. as against Representative Robert W. Bonynge. Whittord Will corrv the citv and County of Denver by a large plurality. and there is no req son to believe that Bonynge will in- crease his plurality in the northern counties. If ho does not he will lose by 2.5Oo votes.
 Several nominees on the Populist state ticket have withdrawn and the party vote will be boiled by Adams. Both Democrats and Republicans are working hard. The vote in strike centers will disappoint the Republi- cans.

II | this were the eve of election day. in- | stead of the eve of the week preceding | that day, / conditions in this State would certainly warrant The Herald in 1 predicting a plurality of not less than l 15.000 for the Republican national | ticket.
 After having studied the situation | for two weeks in all parts of the | State, after having talked with State | Committee Chairmen, town Chairmen and leaders of both parties, am con- | vinced that ,000 would be a conserva- | tive estimate.

 Andrew F. Gates, of this city, is probably one of the most accurate po- litical calculators in the State. Until this year. when he was succeeded by Judge Michael Knealey. he has been the Chairman of the onnecticut Re- publican State Central Committee.
 Gives Roosevelt 25,0O0.
 In the opinion of Mir. Gates Presi- dent Roosevelt will carry Connecticut by a plurality ranging from 10000 to 25.000. He predicts that of the five largest cities in the State--namely. New Haven. Hartford Bridgeport. New London and Waterbury-all with the possible exception of the last named, will return a Roosevelt plurality, and in Waterbury the result will probably be close. Mir. Gates is equally conf dent that in the one hundred and sixty or more small towns, which almost uniformly return Republican majori- ties. and which in former years have offset in their aggregate the Demo- cratic pluralities of the cities, the Re- publican national ticket this year will more than hold it's own.
 This table of estimated pluralities for President Roosevelt in the eight coun- ties of the State appears to be the pro- babble outcome on election day from figures furnished by competent ob

 Milwaukee. Oct. 29.-Roosevelt and Fairbanks will have a plurality in Wisconsin of at least 50oOO in spite of the savage war between the Half breed" and "Stalwart" factions of the Republican party in the State. Cover nor La Toilette will be reelected for g. third term by plurality of 1000 or upward over former Governor George w. Peck. The State ticket placed in the field by the Stalwart Republicans Is not likely to receive as many votes as will he cast for the social Demo- cratic ticket. as all the Stalwart lead CTS. who want their votes to count against La Toilette, if possible intend to support Peck at the polls.
 While the factional war will not af- feet the result in the State as far as the national ticket is concerned, 1t is likely to cost the Republicans two. and perhaps three or four members of Con gress Joseph w. Babcock. Chairman of the Republican Congressional Com mittee, from a district (the Thirdl normally Republican by 5000 to 12.- GOO. has the fight of his political life on hand.

KENTUCKY.
Democratic Majority of at Least 22,OOO
 Race Iaaue Hurfa ROOaeVeIf

Race Issue Hurts Roosevelt Louisville, Ky, Oct. 29.-Kentucky will return a Democratic majority of 22,000 as the minimum. the indications being that it will be in excess of that figure.
 Careful estimates from each of the counties in the State show that of the eleven Congressional districts, but one the Eleventh, will go Republican, and that by a reduced majority. The same figures show that the Congressional majorities will, as a total, exceed the majority for Parker and Davis, this being due to a relapse of many Popu- lists to their original political condi- tions.
 As the total difference is upon the face of the reports less than 1000. the presumption in favor of the national ticket leading those in the Congression- al districts is strong. One of the strong gold Democratic counties Hickman-reports that 800 anti-B Brya- antics will return to the old party and support Parker. Two other factors are to be reckoned with. The race question will win many white votes to the Democratic ticket, and in the to- bacco raising districts where the far mers are organized to fight the trust, the Republicans will lose largely.

ate are Republican, insuring the cleo ton of a Republican to succeed Unt- ted States Senator Bard
 The election in Nevada promises to be close. Both parties have strong electors up, but conservative opinion is that the State will be Democratic by a small majority. Nixon. Republi- can, is against Governor Sparks, Democrat. for Senator, The Legisla- ture has ten hold-over Senators pledged for Sparks and a strong fight is being made on both sides. Sparks has been indorsed by the labor unions and at present has the advantage. At a conservative estimate Roose- welt will carry Washington by 30, 900 and the present Congress delegation will be returned. In some counties Turner. the Democratic candidate for Governor. will run strong, but indIca- tions are that Mead. the Republican candidate, will win by 15,O0O.
 Should a full vote be boiled Oregon will give Roosevelt a majority of nearly 27,000. but thore are not State officials to be elected or issue to be voted on except the prohibition ques- tion, and so the Roosevelt majority will probably not exceed 22,0OO.

NEBRASKA.
Bryan,s State Likely to Be for Roose'
 welt Nv 20.OOO to 5O,OO0.


 Lincoln, Neb.. Oct. 2e.-There is prac- tically no contest in Nebraska over the national ticket. The fusionists con- cede the eight electoral votes to Roose- welt. No effort has been made by the Democrats and Populists to unite against the Republican national eandi- dates.
 Four years ago Mckinley carried the State by 7.s22 votes over Bryan. This year these estimates which are re- garded as unprejudical give the Re- publican Presidential candidate a plurality of 10000. The Democrats ad- init that Mir. Roosevelt's plurality will go little higher than McKinley's but the Republicans claim the State by S0.o00.
 The indications are that the State ticket w1l run far behind the national ticket. but that 1t will still have close to si xthousand votes to spare. Re- pubiicans claim the reelection of Mickey by 10000. G. w. Berge, his cponent, has gone to extremes in att tacking Mickey, because of his alleged friendship to the railroads in contradic- tion to his profession of religion. It Is believed that Berge is too unpopular fin Omaha to carry that city.
 The real flight has been over the Legislature. If the fusionists carry
 
 be a candidate for United States Sena- tor. The indications arethat the Legis- 1ature will be close, but that 1t will be Republican. Elmer J. Burkett, Rep- resentative for the First district, has the Republican State conventions in- dorsement for Senator, and the princi- pal trouble in the Republican ranks is that one faction of the party is push. ing Burkett and neglecting the cam paign of Mickey. The fusionist have against them in the legislative con- tests the fact that in the districts con- trolled now by the party the pluralities are small.
 The Congressional situation is uncer- tain. In the First district MT. Burkett is sure of reelection, probably by twenty-five hundred votes. His plur- ality two years ago was 4,933. In the Second district there is a factional fight in Omaha which may destroy the only chance for the defeat of Gilbert M. Hitchcock. the only DemoSratic Representative from Nebraska In the Third district the race is close, bott candidates claiming tn collection by three hundred votes. In the Fifth dis. trict Representative Norris has a close fight. his oponent being H. H. Mauck of Nelson. a popular man. The indi- cations favor Norris.

MISSOURI
Democratic Majority Likely to He Increased Because of Folks
 Candidacy.

Candidacy.
 St. Louis, Mo-. Oct. 29.-In Missouri there seems to be no doubt that the usual Democratic majority will be con siderably increased. This does not arise from the strength of Judge Parker. but will be largely a triumph of Circuit Attorney Joseph W.Folks the candidate for the Governorship. His personality and the issue raised by his successful poodle prosecution will bring out the full Democratic vote and will add a large number of Republicans. His majority will be about 50,000. and may largely exceed that figure. There has been some dissatisfaction among the Folk followers over two other members of the State ticket, but this feeling will probably not affect the general result.
 In the Congressional districts the Democratic situation is not as favora- ble as usual.
 Outside of the large cities three fourths of the Democrats in Missouri are followers of Bryan. His active ad- vocacy of Parker's election has been of immense service to the party in this State. Summing up the situation 1t seems certain that the Democrats will have something more than their usual majority in the State at large, and that the Republican may gain a Congress sional district. The Legislatude will be strongly Democratic and United States Senator Cockrell will be re-eect- ed next January.

UTAH.
Mormon Influences at Work to Give
 Roosevelt a Big Majority.


 Salt Lake, Utah, Oct. 29.-Utah will cast her electoral vote for Roosevelt, This much Is generally conceded by pol iticians on both sides Priests of the Mormon Church are doing their utmost to carry out their agreement made some months ago, to give the Republican Presidential nominee a handsome ma jority. and the task Is made easier ow- ing to the fact that a majority of the Gentle residents of the State are of that political faith. Democrats con- cede the State by 5000, and the ma jority will probably run much higher.
 The Shoot Republican ticket will probably be elected throughout. There Is some question in the case of Repre- sentative O, w. Powers, the Demo- cratic candidate, who was the leader of the Gentle element in the State in Territorial days. and a bitter fight is being made on him by the Republicans. who are pointing to his record as a Gentle leader as an argument why Mcrmons should not vote for him. DuB. ing the last week Brigham H. Rob- erts has taken the stump for Poweks and is denouncing the character of khe fight being made on him. This tknay

 Wilmington, Del, Oct. 29.-Demo- cratic and Republican estimates of the strength of the respective parties as shown after checking up the registra- tion lists differ widely. It is notice able however that while Democrats profess to have more hope of carrying the State for their electors. the Repub- licans are more confident than ever and have increased their esti&ate of a probable Republican plurality. The State will probably give its electoral vote Go Roosevelt and Fairbanks, though influences exist which will have a tendency to reduce that plurality below the returns of 1900, when the Mckinley electors received 3,671 votes more than their opponents.
 The Democratic party will cast it's full vote this year. The party organi- zation is strong and has conducted a harmonious and effective campaign. The leaders assert that the party has
