four times elected mayor Of Pawtucket.
His popularity is based on his per-

has done some notable work exposing
corruption in his own town. The 1repub-

who are out for the .senatorship are
Senator Wetmore, Colonel Colt, sup

in Rhode Island, after the manner Of
the Pennsylvania reform movement,
which is pledged to "deliver the. state
from Aldrich and his henchmen.''
Falling into Line in Iowa.
The fight in Iowa is familiar to read
.ers of T he j our l.. The nomina-
able ill-concealed opposition from the
standpatters. The most recent develop
ment in the campaign is an appeal from
Senator Allison to his friends to stand
by the republican ticket.
Some Scandal in Kansas.
The contest in Kansas is between
Governor .Hoch, candidate. for re-elee-
| ton, and Colonel Harris, a former
United States. senator from the. state.
The objections made to harris are
that he is confederate veteran and a
nonresident, his home and business be-
ing in Chicago. The democrats are
making all sorts Of charges against
Hoch, of sympathy with Corporations
and of being under railroad influence.
A schoolbook scandal involving one Of

are confident of defeating Hoch, who,
they claim, has not made good his pre-

cans aver that the democrats have not
even look in in Kansas.
Colorado's Continuous Performance.
Perhaps the most picturesque cam
paign of the year is that being waged IN
Colorado. Colorado campaigns are con.
tinuous performances and the present

and succeeded first by Peabody, his
rival, and the sitting governor ant

the lieutenant governor to when Pea
body resigned. The democrats have re
nominated AlVa- Adams 60 wipe Ou'

first nominated Philip Stewart, wht
held the nomination a day and then de

known, however, that Stewart was very

Gabbert of the supreme court, for

as a marionette dancing for Evans an
