Dads to accede to the demands posted by
the men two weeks ago. The railroads are
firm in the stand they took at that time,
that they will not grant more of any in

meeting held tonight between representa-,

The original demand of the switchmen
was for an eight hour day and an in

two weeks negotiations have been in

the demand for an eight hour day was
dropped, the men are still determined in
their demand for the 10 cents increase.
The men declare that they have the moral
support of other trainmen who have also

taxes at all Incited by this condition OF

appointed its tax committee in the fall n
1901 Tho story of the work OF the COM
mittee is too long and too we'll known to

that free transportation has been cut of

These views We're given out tonight by
the chairman of the respective parties.
Aside from the above statements there Is
absolutely nothing upon which to base
prediction as to the final result tomorrow,
with the exception of the fusion vote in
1905. Berry, the fusion candidate, carried
the state in 1905 by nearly 10000, but the
republican leaders claim that the situation
this fall is entirely different. The fusion
slogan in that year was lift the lid of,
referring to the condition OF the state
treasury. "The lid was lifted" said State
Chairman Andrews tonight, and all the
state moneys were found intact there not
being dollar which had not been properly
used
The fight for congress has been unusually
bitter in the country districts and the fact
that there has been fusion in some formerly
democratic districts makes the outcome in
these localities very uncertain, with tho
odds in favor OF the fusion candidates as
against the regular republicans.
The local fight for the district attorney
ship is exciting almost as much interest as
the gubernatorial battle. The republican
