gressional campaign IN Maryland real
~ closed last Saturday Today was
devoted by the committees to prepara-
tons for tomorrow's contest. The
Democrats say they are sure of carry
ing the Second and Fourth districts,
while the Republicans declare them
selves as equally certain Of winning the
First. Fifth and Sixth Both sides

conservative politician. the Democrats
stand the better nance Of winning
Vote VIII Be Heavy in Iowa.
Des Moines. Nov. 5.=Iowa will go
Republican by $4,000 plurality, ae-
cording to the estimates and predic-
tons Of the Republican central com
mittee and viii go Democratic by a
plurality of between 10000 and $4,000,
according to h Democratic
Between $4,000 and 10000 R~epuDlcan
IS a conservative estimate. There is
little possibility of the Democrats get
ting a majority in either branch or n
legislature. OF the congressional dis
tricts the Third, Fourth, Tenth, EleV-
enth, Seventh. Ninth and probably the
Fifth and Eighth are Republican be-
yond all doubt, The First. Second and
Sixth are in doubt and may go Demo-
cratic. Considerable interest is mani
tested throughout the state and indica-
tons are that the vote tomorrow viii
be heavy.
Little Interest in North Carolina.
Raleigh. N. c., Nov. 5.-The election
tomorrow Will De quiet IN NOTLn AL9IO-
lima except in the Eighth congressional
district, the contest being against
Blackburn, the incumbent, and Hackett
Democrat. Only one state officer, COR
pOratiOn commissioner, Will be voted
for. The indications are that a large
vote will be polled. but interest is dull.
Close On Legislature
Lincoln, Neb.. Nov. Bot the Re-
publicans and the f~usionists are claim
ing the Nebraska legislature which Will

Senator Willard. The fight in many Of
the legislative and senatorial districts
is exceedingly close with the chances
favoring the Republicans. but with the
Democrats, aided by most of the POp1-
lists, contesting every inch of ground.
The indications are that George L.
Sheldon, Republican, win be elected
governor over ex-Congressman Sheilen-
berg. Fusionist. the Republicans claim
ing the election of the entire state tick
ct by pluralities ranging from 5000 to
Is, 900. The vote in the cities will De
heavy. Both parties fear, however,
that the farmers will stay in their
fields and that the vote in the country
districts will b. light.
Much Apathy on Statehood.
Santa Fe, N. NJ, Nov. 5.-The apathy
on the statehood question is very no
ticeable in contrast to the bitterness on
the fight on the local tickets. 1t is be-
lieved that of $4,000 voters 10000 will be
blank on statehood. Fifteen thousand
will be against statehood, most Of these
cast by the natives of northern New
Mexico, while statehood will have 10000
majority. There is no doubt about the
reelection of Delegate William H An
drews by 5000 majority and the election
of a Republican legislature.
Badly Mixed In California.
San Francisco. Cal, Nov. 5.-The po-
liticaI campaign viii close all over the
state tonight with a general outlook Of
a more mixed character than ever be-
fore known in the history of the state.
This is especially SO In regard TO the
election of governor While all parties
express the utmost confidence In the
outcome outside Of the southern section
of the state a number of outside issues
and change of residences brought about
by the recent disaster IN San Francisco
viii materially alter the complexion or
the voting. Several counties heretofore
could have been depended upon for a
good majority for one side or the other.
From all Indications. a large vote viii
be cast all over the state.
Naval Employees Car Vote.
Washington, Nov. 5.-Following A con-
ference with the president today Secre-
tary Bonaparte announced th9t an or
der viii be issued allowing employees At
navy yards SUFFICIENT relief from their
duties to enable them to cast their
votes.
Farmers Too Busy.
Fargo. N. D.. Nov. 5.-The campaign
generally has been marked by unusual
lack of interest owing to the fact tiiat
the farmers throughout the state have
been too busy to pay attention TO poll
tics. This argues that straight tickets
will be voted and undoubtedly means q
Republican victory.
