e STATES TO
NAME GOVERNORS

WASHINGTON. Nov. s.--More than
half the states are clocting Governors to-
day, and the contests are more than or
dinarily interesting. Republicans here
no longer fear the defeat of the TAFT
national ticket and are asserting that
they will carry the House OF Representa-
tives by a sufficient majority for all
practical purposes but are giving them-
selves concern over the close contests
for Governors.
The national contest has overshadowed
the local campaigns. but shrewd politi-
cal observers who have been watching
the trend Of the State contests have come
to the conclusion that there Is moral
Ia them for tho Democrats with "a
man OF the type Of Judge George Gray
OF Delaware, as candidate for Prcsi-
dent and the class ofanen nominated by
Democrats IN several States for Gov
ernor. Il Is contendcd that tho Democ-
racy could have swept the country, in
stead Of being led TO defeat by Mr.
Bryan.
Three prominent members OF the House
OF Representatives have tossed aside
Congress in order TO become candidates.
for Governor-Messrs. Watson. OF Iudi-
ana: Lrley. Of Connecticut and William
w. Kitchen. OF North Carolina. Two
former Congressmen-both able Demo-
crats-are also candidates this year for
Oovernor-shafroth OF Colorado. and
Cowherd. of Missouri
