independence league of New York
York state will be called to order in
New York City. The sessions proba-
bly, Will last two days. The league
may or may not nominate full state

the wisdom of placing an entire ticket
in the field. Some oc the delegates
favor nominations for governor and
lieutenant governor only. 1t is re-
garded as a certainty that William X.

for chief executive Of the state.
Connecticut.

Maine.
on the eve of the Maine state cleo
tion the political leaders OF both par
ties feel that uncertainty exists To an
unusual degree throughout the entire
state, and many surprises are looked
for Monday when the ballots shall
have been counted.
Two of Names most prominent re-
publicans stand out especially i'm tile
element of uncertainty Governor
i William Cobb and Congressman
Charles II. Littleheld, both OF whom
are residents of Rockland and both of
whom seek reelection. Governor
Cobb has made his campaign on pure
/ ~ state issues but the candidacy OF
| Littlefield has been given wide promi-
nence on account of the fact that he
has been opposed by Samuel Gompers,
/ the president of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor, who has made many
! speeches in Littlefeld's district in the
! last three weeks.
Republican leaders are quoted as
admitting that, largely because of the
operation of the su-ealled Sturgis
| liquor law the state ticket will prob
! ably not have a plurality exceeding
| 900, while for nearly a decade the
republican plurality has been In eX-
cess of $4,000.
on Wednesday the prohibitionlsts of
Maryland will meet at Laurel
Ohio
Although the republican state con-
vention which convenes at Dayton,
Ohio, Thursday. is held for the nomi-
/ lldllbll VI NdllhiNdNto lpi otNiNAhiN ~
state and other officers. the pre-con-
vention interest centers on the equal
endorsement of the president and two
senator's and the contest of senator
! Dick for recollection as chairman of
the state committee. Notwithstanding
the fact that he was defeated In his
home county, Senator Dick expresses
full confidence In his own success.
However, Harry Daugherty ana
| Congressman Burton express equal
confidence In the success OF the hght
against the retention of Senator Dick.
The endorsement of both President
Roosevelt and of the Ohio senator's.
Notwithstanding their differences over
various matters at Washington Is be
ing sought by many delegates. while
others are equally insistent that the
president be endorsed and that tho
senators be ignored or at most gwen
a merely perfunctory resolution OF
Commendation.
