in Maryland and capture the Legtsla- ture, Congressman Sydney D. Mudd and William H. Jackson win most likely be the United States Senators. But they arc iooked> upon as such an unsavory pair of politicians that the best eie- ments in the State are determined evil dently they shall not succeed in their ambitions.
 \ Jackson is a millionaire. renegade Democrat, and brother of that faithful old former Democratic Governor D. E. Jackson. who since holding that high office has been in the State Senate. "old Eli" as the Democrat is called, fights bitterly his Republican brother. They reside in the same county. and are To- cated on the Eastern Shore. noted for its lively politics The Republicans have an erninentIy respectable man up for Governor in the person of George R. Gather. . Baltimore lawyer. and until few years ago rampant Demo crat But Mudd and Jackson are the Republican bosses. and 1t goes hard with a pink tea" Rehublican like Colonel Bonaparte to have to travel in the same band wagon with these Con- gressmen.
 People from Kentucky who have ex. pressed opinions think the light in that State will be an unusually close one. However the best points obtained here D. have the call on things. and will prob- ably elect their entire ticket. but the Democratic majority is likely to be re- duced, owing to the family rows that have been going on and the question Of prohibition which is expected to cut quite a figure. Mir Bryan has been making animated speeches in Kentucky and the report Is that his efforts have greatly strengthened MT. Hager. the Democratic candidate. Should the Dem ocrats not control the Legislature. it means crushing blow to Governor Beckham, who has been indorsed at the primary for United States Senator ip place of Hon. ]. B. McCreary.
 The two most important municipal contests are those in Cleveland and New York. The Roosevelt ndministra. ton is decidedly mixed up in the fight in the Ohio metropolis for the reason that Congressman Burton did not con- sent to make the race against Mayor Tom L. Johnson until advised by the President and Secretaries Taft and Gar field. Besides. the negro vote in the City of Cleveland approximates 5000. Many of the prominent Washington ne- groes, on account of the Brownsville affair. have been doing their level best to induce their black brethren to either cut Mfr. Burton at the polls next Tues- day Or vote outright for MT. Johnson, as rebuke to the Presiden and Secre- tary Taft.
 Because of this feeling there will be keen interest to sift the vote and see whether the negroes hay spunk enough to carry out the threats that have been made. Parson Corrothers of this city who has bitterly attacked the Presi- dent. Booker T. Washington and all others who train with the head of the nation since the negro troops implica- ted in the Brownsville shooting were discharged, has steadily maintained that the black vote in Cleveland will revenge itself upon the administration candidate for Mayor. These negroes whoop constantly for Senator Foraker, and their prediction is that all the Ohio negroes will stand by him when their votes are needed to insure him another term in the Senate.
 Johnson WIll Win.
 Many of the well posted Ohio Repub- licans admit that Johnson is likely to succeed himself Even Republicans who figure out Burton's election, say that if he pulls through it will be by a slender margin.
 All reports indicate that the Tam many ticket will be successful in New York City. The average Republican heard to talk here lately Is full of the belief that thousands of the Republi- can voters will either scratch the Par sons-Hearst combustion ticket or sup port the Tammany candidates. Ex- Governor Odell and his@crowd of fel- lows are said to realize that the time is ripe to clip the wings of Congress- man Parsons. The President is also known. to be displeased with the capers that Parsons has been cutting in the big city.
 are understood to have made up, and every indication at this writing is that the Tiger will lash it's tail with such fury next Tuesday that Tammany will be victorious. And still there are some people who think that Hearst and his Independence League may give Tam many a surprise party Tuesday night. Returns from the metropolis will doubtless be read with interest all over the country. Politicians assert that if the Parsons-H Hearst combine wins 1t will mean a lot of trouble for both the Republicans and Democrats next year in the Empire State.
 No man of political gumption who has been heard to talk here recently looks for the defeat of the Republican ticket in Massachusetts. It Is expect ed that the Republicans will hold the State. The split among the Democrats and two tickets in the field is believed to mean that the Republicans need not worry about the result. Should the Republicans lose and Governor Guild 20 down to defeat no one would be more agreeably surprised than the managers of the Whitney campaign
