and it is not known whether he still
claims to be republican. 1t is said
that Sidney Foster and James Berry
hill have promised to go out to work
for the democrats today, but they have
not consented to permit the fact to be
advertised.
The republican local organization in
Polk county Is not good and there is
much complaint about it. The fact is
that the committee has confined its at
tentions to the county candidates and
has ignored the fact Of a state elec-
ton. The democrats on the other hand,
have better organization than usual,
and they are supplied with money with
which to employ workers They have
had thirty-fve men at work for nearly
two weeks, and some men have been at
work for much longer time. The pur-
chasable vote here is very large and
this will probably go largely to the
democrats.
The fact has just been disclosed that
several persons have been out working
for Porter among the laboring men,,
each one claiming that he has been
promised appointment as state labor
commissioner If Porter can be elected.
AS there is but one position to fill, the
crossing Of the promises might be enl-
barassing If there was the slightest
thought Of Porter's election.

OF the campaign was the attendance
of Mrs. Alice Roosevelt Longworth at
the various meetings where her hus-
band, Congressman Longworth, was
among the speakers. Longworth was
republican candidate for congress In
the Cincinnati district where the demo-
cratic and citizens municipal party
had organized for the overthrow OF
Boss Cox who dominated the republi-
can party In that city. Longworth's s
fate rested upon a complete divorce
ment of state and congressional from
local issues.
The real contest in the state was on
congressman. Secretary Shaw and
Secretary Taft, Vice President Fair
banks, Senators Beveridge. Foraker
and others urged the election of re-
publican congressman to support
President Roosevelt's policies. Will

BRIGHT ELECTION WEATHER.
With Few Exceptions the Condition:
Are Ideal.

Chicago, Nov. 6.-Except in Wiscon-
sin, northern Ohio, portions Of Minne-
sofa and South Dakota, and some
southern states, where fog or slight
rain prevailed, ideal election weather is
reported in today's early dispatches to
the Associated Press. A heavy initial
vote was polled generally, the only
exceptions being in those states or sec
tions where the campaign has been
apathetic and where but little interes.
was aroused in the contests. In this
city it was declared at O'clock that
in many wards thirds of the reg
istered vote had been cast, altho the
large sized ballot and much scratching
made voting slow. Some voters were
in the booths thirty minutes marking
their ballots. At Bloomington the
early vote was stimulated by the pres
ence in the field of boiling republican
candidates for sheriff and superintend-
ent Of schools.
The bitter congressional fight at
Peoria. augurs the heaviest poll for
MANY years The opposition to Speaker
Cannon in the Danville district was
not productive of much enthusiasm and
only moderate vote is being cast.

INCREASE In MILEAGE

New York, Nov. 6-There were 217, ,341
miles of completed railroads in the Un-
tied States at the end Of 1905, accord
ing to figures compiled by Poor's
Manual This is a net increase over
the mileage in 1904, of Ais miles. The

men who enrolled as democrats last
year. "The responses Indicate" the
Herald said. that the enrolled demo-
Gratis are nearly evenly divided between
Hearst and Hughes. with a slight ad-
vantage in favor of the former" In q
tabulation of all the replies received
learned that all the men who said they
were democrats, 40 per cent declared
for Hughes and 60 per cent for Hearst
OF all voters who said they were re-
pubicans, per cent said they would
support Hearst, while 76 per cent were
for Hughes.
Another deduction made by the Her
aid from its poll was as follows: "Of
the Mcclellan voters polled, many OF
whom were republicans, two out of ev-
cry three said they would vote fol
Hughes; one in every four of the
Hearst voters last year will support
the republican nominee, and one in five
of the WINS voters will vote fol-
Hearst"
Republican Victory Predicted.
AS the result of this poll, the figures
published by the Herald showed that
Hughes would have a plurality of more
than $4,000 up the state. The Herald
polled 23,361 voters in this city, of whom
1858 indicated their preference for
Hughes and 1881 for Hearst, while 1872
reported that they were in doubt. The
poll indicated that party lines were
split. The Herald said that in every
election district canvassed, except one,
the percentage of the vote cast for
Hughes showed heavy increase over
the vote cast for Higgins in 1904, when
Herrick, the democratic nominee, car
ried the, city by plurality of $4,000.
All day Monday and today there has
been a tone of optimism about repub-
lican headquarters, while a discopso-
late air reigned in the vicinity of dem
ocratic leaders. The Hearst campaign,
at the every end, seems to be handi-
capped by a lack of money. Various
interpretations have been put on this.
One is thatrMr. Hearst has had visions,
and with conmendable thrift is op-
posed to sending good money after
bad" Hearst leaders up state and
Hearst workers in this city do not hes
itate to say now that a lack of funds
for efficient work on election day may
cause Hearst to lost his fight.

ed-Judgeship Results in Benton and

Marshall county sustained her repu-
tation as a banner republican county
in yesterdays election by showing big
gains for Albert B. Cummins for gov
ernor. The vote was light, and COM
pared with three years ago will show a
gain of between 500 and 800. Eight
precincts show Cummins' plurality to
be S56. These same precincts show
a gain for Cummins over 1903 of 254
The country precincts were slow re-
turning the days results. Marshall
town showed q remarkable gain for
Culnmins, four wards netting 123 over
1903.
Liberty township, one of the very few
democratic precincts of the county
surprised even the most sanguine re-
publicans by showing a gain of twenty
over 1903, and democratic loss OF
twenty mine. The socialist vote will

Wallace III. Arney, for representative
and the entire republican county ticket,
were elected.

which much active work was done by
attorneys for C. B. Bradshaw. OF Tama
equity. LUG iWdlu SllOlle gave
Bradshaw "a plurality of 200. Liberty
township, which showed such good
republican gain, gave Bradshaw plur-
ality Of seven. The indications are
that the returns from the country
precincts will show light vote with
gains for Bradshaw. II these prove
true Burnham will have lost the coun-
ty as well as the city.
Reports from Tama county indicate
that Bradshaw would carry that county
by plurality of at least 200, with the
probability that this plurality would
be increased to 500 by the complete
returns Toledo township, the home of
Captain Bradshaw, which was carried

Benton county, Judge Burnha ms
home, Indicated that Porter and the en-
tire democratic ticket would carry the
county by 400 plurality, and that Judge
Burnham would not run ahead of the
ticket to an extent sufficient to give
him the county. This would indicate
the vote on judge to be close, with the
chances that Burnham is defeated.

PENN. 100000 REPUBLICAN.
State Safely Republican by Usual of
Year Majority.

Philadelphia, Nov. 6.-Stuart, repub-
lican candidate for governor, will have
more than 100000 plurality when re-
turns are in. At 10 o'clock tonight
Senator Penrose estimated the major
ity at that figure, and it is likely that
the official count will verify his fig
ures. Republican congressman have
been elected and the final count will
ssow a republican victory all over the
state.
The campaign had been one Of the
most bitter ever fought in the state
A governor and other state officers
legislature and congressman were
chosen. Edward S. Stewart, republi-
can nominee for governor, was opposed
by Lewis Emery, Jr the candidate OF
the Lincoln party and democrats. Last
year the Lincoln democratic fusionists
elected William II. Berry, state treas
urer by big majority. The fact, how
ever, that Philadelphia was the home
Of Mr.. Stuart made the outcome of the
election doubtful. He was personally
very popular and it was thought by
many that he would carry the city and
thereby overcome whatever majority
the state outside OF Phlladelphla might
give to Mr.. Emery.
Local contests thruout the state have
been lost sight of in the fight for gov
ernor. The campaign has been fought
on the same lines as the one which
swept William H. Berry, the Lincoln
prohibition-d democratic candidate, in
to the office of state treasurer last
fall The fusion leaders have been
directing the attention of the voters to
the alleged graft" in connection with
the furnishing of the new state cap
itol at Harrisburg, claiming that be-
tween s5,0OO,OOO and $6,00o,000 have
been stolen or wasted. Treasurer Ber-
ry has been the chief accuser, but has
as yet not furnished the attorney gen.
eral with what the latter deems suffi-
cient proof of the alleged overcharges.

excellent majorities over their oppon-
ents. Outside Chicago the indications
are of sweeping republican vote. In

Eagle announces that Hughes car

The eyes of the nation were riveted
on the election in New York state be-
cause of the far reaching effect on ma
tional politics of the success of either
candidate. Hearst already had figured
as a presidential candidate. Had he
succeeded he would have gained tre-
mendous momentum for the democrat
ic national convention of 1908. On the
other hand, the republican party is still
locking for man to succeed Roose-
welt The success of Hughes was rea-
iized to be the only contingency upon
which hinged the entrance Of new
statesman into the field of presiden-
tial candidates.
Even of more Importance to deep
students Of politics was this contest
because Of the kind of issues involved.
Hearst appeared as the derlagog who
seeks to capitalize discomfort into a
political force. His campaign was an
attack upon capital It foInented ev-
erywhere. 1t re-alligned the voters up
on a new basis in disregard of former
party lines.
For instance, the New York Herald
made a very interesting poll of the
state and the city for its Sunday issue.
The result Of the secret poll showed,
according to the figures given by the
Herald, that the clergymen were over
whelmfngly for Hughes. The returns
from business men showed a ratio OF
five for Hughes to one for Hearst. The
poll Of the labor men. in fourldries, fac
tories. along the docks and in other
places. showed that about two thirds
of these men were for Hearst, but
com parison of the figures in such es-
Establishments as were pollet[ by the

will receive a smaller proportion of the
