\ CAMP AIGN CLOSED
sSENTUCKY,s BITTER FIGHT CoNEs
 ITO AN END.
Both RepnbIlrans nnd Democrats Claim VtctoEx in Next Tuesday's Elect- zen-Bryam Does Good Work
 for HmGeR. s

Louisville. Ky. Nov. 2--Not since the famous Goebei- -Tavlof race has there been a Kentucky campaign so vigor- nusly waged on both aides as the one which closed tonight.
 The active labors of Judge Samuel W. Hager. Democrat and Augustus T. Wilson, Republican, candidates for Governor. ended today only after each had stumped the State from end to end. Although Kentucky is normally Demo- cratic by a good sized majority, the situation this year has been compile cafed by so many issues of the non-po- iitical sort that good judges were still at sea as to the result three days be- fore the election.
 The Republicans have made a more aggressive fight than they have put up at any previous election and are claim ing a victory with genuine confidence. The Democratic managers claim they will roll up the usual large majority. hut shrewd politicians expect the last 1seckham majority of 3h.000 to be great ly reduced in any event.
 Az to the Legislature. there Is less doubt. the political complexion of the districts. and the numbers of Democrat fc hold-overs insuring, to reasonable certainty, a comfortable majority for the Democrats on joint ballot. Govern or Beckham's election to the United States Senate to succeed James B. Mo Creary seems practically assured
 A hot camps Tn for the election of a full set of city and county officials in Louisville and Jefferson County will also be decided next Tuesday. The sit- uation in Louisville is not only puzzIing in the extreme, but 1t may decieively affect the Eovernorship race The cleo ton Is to be held to fill the unexpired terms of the Democratic officials busted from office by the recent decision of the Court of Appeals, the court deciding that frauds had invalidated the cleo ton.
 The light is being made on the issue of ''open" and closed" Sunday. and party lines. to a certain extent, have been obitterated

 Sumrall. when he knew his time to die had come. told Of the crime and of Lucas's assistance. The young Cu- ban had been sent to eternity because of trying to arrest Sumrall for q theft committed during the morning in which the victim was one of the losers. Left at his post of duty by the foreman of the work gang of Mobile and Ohio train, one of the cars, which had been burgiarized. by Sumrall, he was crept upon by the negro and killed.

 Night came on. The rain was com ing down steadily and a short distance away In tho little town of Vinegar Bond. in the school building. was gath cred nearly the entire citizenship. the occasion being an oyster suppper, given by tic ladies for the benefit of the high school.
 But elsewhere was another gather ing. Who they were and from whence they came no one knows.
 Nor did any In the little town know of their presence or their mission.
 The guard was hailed from the dark ness by voice sayinga prisoner was outside to be put in the lookup. Not dreaming of a ruse or trick the guard opened the gate and he was at once overpowered and told to keep quiet. It required but little time to break the locks on the doors and less to secure Sumrall and Lucas. Soon as this was done the unknown. but determined visitors left and disappeared in the rain, which was coming down steadily.
