tions or who reads the papers care fully must have been struck by the singular fact that in so many states there has been a bitter contest over the governor with an extraordinary breaking down of party lines and ali over issues in which neither MT Bryan nor Mir. Taft in concerned in the rernotest degree.
 As a rule local candidates and local issues are swallowed up by the na- tional candidates and issues in presi- dential elections. This year exactly the reverse is true. Political excite. ment in the pivotal states in almost every case centers around guberna- torial campaign, ,snd the people are vastly more interested in their own local issues and the men who stand for them than they are in the ques- tion of who is to he president of the United States to succeed Theodore Roosevelt
 Look over the iist for a minute in New York, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois Missouri and Minnesota, six of the greatest states in the country. There are contests for governor on state is. sues exclusively which are far more bitter in their way than any presi- dential contest could be. In all these cases there is a breaking dowE o1 party lines in such a way as to in , volve the national ticket because no man can tell how far tae eagerness of the people to win their state fight will induce them to go in the way Of cutting the national ticket.
 Fight on State Ticket.
 In all of these states, which are re- presented by 133 out of the 4S3 votes in the electoral college, the fight Tor the head of the state ticket has smashed party lines completely. In each case there is doubt of the re. suit entirely aside from the situation in regard to the presidency. In a number of other smaller states, like Connecticut, Rhode Island, West Vir. ginia, the two Dakotas, and Colorado, there are similar sTate fights, not so spectacular, but almost equally con fusing.
 It is a curious thing that in all of the states mentioned, with the ex ception of Missouri, MT. Taft is the sole victim of these local disturbanc es for which he has no responsibility and in which he has not interfered in the slightest degree. In all ot them, with the possible exception of Illinois. Connecticut, and Rhode Is- land, the people are fighting out a great moral issue. Just why a wave of opposition to the saloon, the race track, and the gambling house should have taken possession of the people at this particular time in all sections of the country is hard to understand, ,,1t tha fact iS anOa-.-t

 The Miner would like to have some one explain the telegram received here that Mark Smith is to campaign in Kentucky. Ths telegram was re- ceived from John II. Atwood, who has the assignment of the Bryan speak ers."-Hoval Smiths Bisbee Miner.
 We take pleasure in explaining. The Miners telegram was a fake and the statement 1t contained IS li. Mark Smith is not to campaign in Ken lucky and John H. Atwood never wired that he would. The Associated Press telegrams, published by such republican authorities as the Phoenix Republican and Los Angeles Times conclusively nail the BfsDee Miners lie when they state that Hon. Mark Smith has been assigned with Alton B. Parker, Charles A. Towne and oth. CTS to make a whirlwind speaking campaign for Bryan through Indiana and Ohio. The Associated Press has landed hard on the latest Cameron fake-Citizen.

RAYMOND SAYS
 LOCAL ISSUES
 ARE AT FRONT
Well Known Writer States the Uncertain Factors in the Vote on President Next Tuesday.

Raymond" the prominent politicaI correspondent of the Chicago Fri bune, has written the following. It contains little of encouragement for the republican candidate.
 One of the most extraordinary fea- lures of the present campaign, and one which will destinguish it from ali presidential elections which have pre- ceded it, is the fact that it is being fought out on state rather than na- tional issues. In most all the pivotal states there is a local campaign on purely state issue which has dwarfed the national contest entirely. It is safe to say that if it were not for these state fights MT. Taft would be elected president almost without contest. In fact, the only doubt which would now exist in regard to the political complication of any oT the doubtful states arises from local conditions which have nothing what ever to do with the presidential cam paign itself. -
 The political managers of the na- tional campaign 7n both sides arc confused and oftentimes frightened because they have been utterly un- able to measure the effect of these state disturbances cn the national candidate. I do not know of a presi- dential campaign ever before in this country in which the result in so many great states las hinged neither upon the personality of the president ial candidate nor Upon the issue which they represent.
 Party Lines Broken.

The Cameron managers are dodg- ing all kinds of imaginary things. The campaign against Ralph Cameron is being made in the open and there will be no effort to take an underhanded hold of the republican candidate. The people of Arizona have seen Mir Cam. eron and they are perfectly well quall. fled to judge his qualifications to rep resent Arizona in congress, as com pared with the qualifications of Mark Smith. The people of Arizona will have need of their ablest man in con. gross during the next session and they may depended upon to make nc mistake, such as would be the cleo tion of Ralph Cameron.

of the laws providing for pure elee- tions, and for this reason to raise
 S5O,000 by popular subscription, the [ intention being to employ detectives and attorneys in various counties who
 will arrest and prosecute all persons
 charged with violating these laws.
 1 This proposition is absurd on its 1 face to, any one who is acquainted with the situation. As matter O. I fact neither the republican or demo crats would raise such an amount in 1 Tennessee for election purposes. The proposition is simply a bid of the na- | tionaI republican committees for con- tributions with which to debauch and I corrupt the electorate of Tennessee. | As president of the State Board of
 Election which appoints electi@ com missioners in every county In the state, scarcely a prominent republt- can in the city has not congratulated its president on the appointment of ! election commissioners with the state
 ment that the republicans have this year the fairest deal both in the dem ocratic election commissioners on the election laws of Tennessee that it has ever had since the law was enacted. The candidate for governor of the re publican party had expressed his sat isfaction with the result that appoint ments of election commissioners will have on this election, and there is no
 doubt so far as the state is concerned that any election will be held in the state of Tennessee. Heretofore the
 power of appointing county election
 boards has been out of the hands of
 the governor and placed in the hands
 of state election board, and the pres ent governor has not in a single in stance even recommended the ap-
 continent of an election commission
 CT in the entire state,
 Chairman Moses c. Wetmore, of the Finance Committee at democratic

 In a letter received at democratic national headquarters yesterday,
 there was letter which gives a line on the Ohio situation, and which re- fleets actual conditions In many other states. The writer referred to a man ufacturer who had just completed a poll of the men in his factory. There are 1900 voters in this Ohio enter prise. Normally, 500 of the men are republicans. As a result of that poll
 the fact was disclosed that less than
 200 of the 1900 men will vote for Judge Taft. The efforts at coercion on the part of republicans has failed miserably in this campaign.
