In no election has SO little Interest
been manifested In Washington as in
to-morrow's results. Fewer depart
to vote. The practice OF President
Roosevelt In going to his homo voting
place to cast his ballot seems not to
be emulated, except by few Of those
high In office. The main interest here
seems to be divided between Maryland.
Kentucky and New York City.
Opinions here Incline to make Ken
tucky doubtful. with the chances ia
voring the Republican ticket. Mary.
GUS campaign by united Democracy,
1t is believed. will be carried by that
party.
IT seems TO be a consensus OF views
OF those who have looked into the New
York situation on the ground that the
Hearst fusion will be defeated by Tam.
many. Republicans to large extent
are reported to be swayed by two in.
fluences. which will reduce their vot-
Ing strength. One OF these Is disap-
provalfof the Parsons-H earst deal. and
the other is the effort OF certain Roosa-
velt men TO make 1t appear that Gov
ernor Hughes approved the fusion. The
fact that both factlons--if anti-Roose-
welt New Workers and the administra-
ton element of the Republicans in the
big metropolis may be termed factions
are making charges against each
other respecting responsibility for tho
fusion. Is taken as abundant warrant
for the prediction that the Parsons.
Hearst tickets will lose all down the
line
Next TO the New York battle in popu-
lar interest comes the municipal con.
test in Cleveland. o. Both Mr.. Burton
and Mr.. Johnson are personally known
here. the former being member and
the latter a former member OF the
House Of Representatives. and the In
terest Is personal as we'll as political.
Salt Lake City receives attention be-
cause OF the prominence OF the Mormon
question, and San Francisco on account
of recent occurrences In connection
with the. administration of the affairs
OF that city.
In Massachusetts,. Maryland. Missis-
sippi. Rhode Island. Kentucky and New
Jersey Governors will be chosen. and
in all OF them except New Jersey, full
State tickets will be elected.
In New York, Pennsylvania and Me-
braska the elections will be for in
ferior State officers or for members Of
the legislature or county officers. In
all cases the results will be carefully
scanned here for changes which may
possibly bear upon the more important
general conflict of 1908
