lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TR1BuNE.I


GAINESVILLE, Wis, Nov. 5.-The political situa-
tion is mixed subject only. that OF cleo
ton OF Governor, for President Roosevelt Will
receive the usual Republican majority, which
is about $4,000. The last two national cleo
lions. when the Gold Democrats voted with
the Republicans against Bryan. cannot be taken
fair parallel for the present estimates.
George w. Peck, the Democratic nominee for
Governor, will receive the support of many Stall
wart Republicans and, with the return OF the
Gold Democrats. may carry the State. He will
lose. however. many Democratic votes to La
Toilette, but the Democrats hope that they will
be overbalanced by the Gold Democrats vote.
The candidacy of Edwin Scofield the national
Republican ticket is not taken seriously by any
one. least of all by Mr.. Scofeld. He is simply
being used an excuse for Republicans who
opposed to the regime of Governor La Fol-
lette to take the stump against him without
going openly into the Democratic camp.
The prospect is that the State legislature will
be badly mixed. In some districts the La Fol-
Democrats to exchange votes, Governor for
legislature, and in others like deals have been
made with the Stalwarts. However, the Gov
ernor is sure to have majority of the Repub-
licans in the House and If he can combine with
the Democrats he control the United States
Senatorship. If not, and the Stalwarts cannot
make a deal, 1t is probable that either William
f. Villas Neal Brown some other Democrat
viii be chosen to succeed Joseph Very Quarles
Governor La Toilette would like this place but
IL is not probable he can control enough votes to
send himself there Then there is the posi-
bility that the Republicans. Stalwarts and La

Wilmington, Del. Nov 5.-When the vote is
counted on Tuesday night Delaware will be
found in the Republican column. 1t is conceded
even by the Democrats that the Republican
electors will be elected. The State ticket is
doubtful. In Republican ranks there is much
apathy caused by the manner in which the
State ticket adjusted by the State commit
tees of the two factions in the interest of har
mony. This will lead many Republicans to vote
for Dr. Joseph II. Chandler. the independent
Republican nominee for Governor or the Demo-
cratic State ticket. 1t is not believed, however,
that this vote will be large enough TO defeat
Preston Lea, the Republican candidate for Gov
ernor. The Republicans will. it is generally
conceded elect the State ticket by small ma
jority. Republican Congressman will be elect
ed. The Democrats say they have received no
money from the national committee, but that If
they get what they have asked for they will be
able to carry the State ticket. The Legislature
will undoubtedly be Republican on a joint ballot
This is important, Ii United States Senator Is
to be elected to succeed Senator L. H. Ball. The
Republican county ticket in the three counties
will be elected.

the Chief Justice of Rhode Island His OPP
ponent has not failed the polls for ten years

bre represented by former Chief Justice Stiness.
And yet because of the natural Republican DRIFT
that sets In here in a Presidential year there
can be great doubt of Mr. Utters election.
Men who have received election returns here
from all over the State for many years believe
that his majority Will be about LOCO.
The legislature will be more Republican than

and It is believed that many will prefer to vote
for Roosevelt or not vote for President at all
rather than cast their votes for the Parker elect
ors. If Parker carries the state 1t will be
through Democratic party regularity. and not
from any love for the principles which Parker
advocates, or his personal popularity.
The State situation for the Democracy Is
equally as precarious. The Republican party
has in the field one of the strongest tickets of
recent years headed by Cyrus P. Walbridge, Of
st. Louis The party is in excellent fighting
condition and is confident of victory.
The Democratic party is not that of other
years. They have nominated Joseph w. Folk.
Circuit Attorney OF st. Louis, who is making
the race solely upon his doodle" prosecutions.
He is exceedingly popular with one element of
his party but a bitter gubernatorial contest
alienated many of his own party. and IT is be-
lieved that while he may poll few Republican
votes on his issue of 'boodleism' he will lose
the support of many of his own party If he
is elected II will be by the smallest majority
even given to a Democratic nominee for Gov
ernor
Taking the feeling here as an index of the
sentiment prevailing elsewhere, it is safe TO say
that Missouri may be truthfully placed in the
doubtful list AGA HUTSON,

Robber Murders Prominent Lady.

Charlottesville, Va, September f.
Mrs. j. Samuel McCue, wife of an ex-
mayor of Charlottesville, was shot and
killed at $50 o'clock tonight by an un-
known man. Mr.. aud Mrs. McCue had
just returned from church. The latter
was preparing to retire and her husband
started for the bath room. AS Mr.. Nc
Cue entered the hall leading from the
bedchamber he met face to face man
carrying bag and baseball bat. The
intruder struck at Mr.. McCue, bu. missed
him, the latter endeavoring to get back
to the bedchamber for his shotgun The
unknown man seized McCue, who had
gotten his hands on the gun, when he
was struck vicious blow in the face
with the bat and knocked unconscious.
Mrs. McCue heard the struggle and
rushed to the hallway. The man had
secured the weapon and shot her twice,
one load entering the left breast close to
the heart and the second the left eye.
Mrs. McCue managed to reach the bath
room and there fell dead. McCue re
covered consciousness and with his four
young children found his wife dead. An
alarm was given at once and the house
surrounded, but no trace of the murderer
has been made up to midnight. McCue
does not know whether his assailant was
white or negro. Robbery is believed
to have been the mans motive. Mrs.
McCue was formerly Miss Fannie Craw-
ford, of Augusta county, Virginia, and
was a social leader. Public excitement
is intense and lynching is likely if the
murderer is caught.
