his Republican opponent is Jacob f.
Jacobson. In Wisconsin Governor Da-
wilson, the present executive, is op-
posed by John A. Aylward, Dem, and
several hot contests are on in con-
gressional districts. In Iowa interest
is enhanced by senatorial fight for
the Republican endorsement between
Governor Cummins and former Con
gressman Lacey. Former Governor
Andrew E. Lee is the Democratic
candidate for governor in South Da-
kcta, Robert S. Vessey being his op-
ponent. In North Dakota Governor
John Burke, Dem, the present incum-
bent, seeks reelection His Repub-
lican opponent is c. A. johnson. A
contest for the Republican endorse
ment for United States senator en-
livens the contest in the latter state.
Missouri's leading candidates for
the governorship are Congressman
William S. Cowherd, Democrat, and
Attorney General Herbert 8. Hadley,
Republican, who have had to yield
large share of the limelight in their
state to the fight that is being made
by Governor Joseph w. Folk for the
senatorship. Senator Stone is seek
ing reelection and the Republican as
pirant for the place is Richard G.
Kerens. In Mr.. Bryan's state the can
didates for governor are A. G. Shall
lenberger, Democrat, who beat Oma-
has cowboy mayor" Jim Dahlman,
in the primaries, and the incumbent
of the office, George L. Sheldon.
Heavy Vote Is Promised.
Reports from Chicago, Boston, Phil
adelphia and other large cities say
that the voting both in the city pre-
cints and in the country districts will
be heavy, the apathy that marked the
greater part of the campaign being
succeeded by the efforts of the poll
ticians to bring out the vote" At
the headquarters of both parties in
this city this is hailed as an encourag-
| ing sign, figures being combined in
numerous and bewildering combina
tions to prove that one or the other
| of the candidates will be successful In
landing the big prize.
The headquarters of all the minor
parties are exceedingly busy places
The independence party men, Social
lists and Prohibitionists declare thai
their respective candidates will pol
votes greatly in excess of those con
ceded to them by the old party men
| This feeling is especially marked al
the independence and Socialist quar-
| ters, where the followers of Messrs
| Hisgen and Debs assert that the re
| turns will astonish the country.
| Concerning the presidential situa
tion the prophecies of professional pc
litical prophets made weeks ago are
being fulfilled today. They repeatei
| then the ancient axiom, "As goes New
York so goes the Union" Time ha'
confirmed their diagnosis of the situa
| ton. All eyes today are on the EN-
pire state. The managers of both par
| ties claim its thirty electora
votes and all declare they see victory
for their respective state candidates

WILL PERSIST
IN RETIRING
Chancellor Won Beulow De-
termined to Quit.
RETAINS IMPERIAL FAVOR

dence of the Kaiser Germany's Min
isterial Leader Feels He Is to Blame
for the Publication of the Emper-
or's Now Famous Interview and
viii Step Down and Out.
Berlin, Nov. 3--In spite Of the fact
that Crown Prince Frederick William
visited Chancellor Won Buelow, which
is an indication that the chancellor
vetains the imperial favor, there are
many rumors current that the chan
cellor will persist In retiring as an
outcome of the publication Of the now
famous interview with the emperor
that appeared in the Daily Telegraph
of London. Various statesmen are
mentioned to succeed him.
H. Won Kiderlen-W -Waechter, the Ger
man minister at Bucharest, Roumania,
has been summoned to act as foreign
secretary during the illness of Herr
Won Schoen, which promises to be
protracted. Herr Won Kiderlen-Waech
ter, who is known for his wit, was for
merly one of Emperor Williams most
intimate friends. This was when he
was stationed at Hamburg, but he
came into certain disfavor because he
made his majesty the object of an un
timely jest AS result he was trans
ferred to Bucharest, but he has since
won back his position of confidence

Other Issues at Stake.

While the fight for the presidency
is attracting the greatest amount Of
attention here and elsewhere it is by
no means the only issue OF impor-
tance today. A new house of repre-
sentatives, the lower branch of the
Sixty first congress, is being elected.
In twenty-eight states governors are
beng balloted for and some of the
states will choose legislatures which
will elect United States senators. The
terms of thirty-one senators-eighteen
Republicans and thirteen Democrats
will expire on March 4. Among
them are Platt of New York, Stone of
Missouri, Smoot of Utah, Stephenson
of Wisconsin and Perkins of Califor-
nia In twenty-three states total of
ninety proposed constitutional amend
ments, laws, questions or propositions
are being voted upon. This does not
include Michigan, where revision of
the present constitution has been sub
mitted to the electors for adoption or
rejection. OF general interest in this
connection is the vote in South Da-
kota on the question of repeating the
"one-year residence" act passed by
the last legislature in order to stop
rapid divorces.

Many Tickets in the Field.

The number of tickets in the states
varies from one to six. Only the DEM
ocrats have tickets in the field in
South Carolina and Louisiana, while
In Ohio the voters have the privilege
Of choosing among seven sets of can
didates for the state Offices. An in
teresting feature of the contest in
Utah is the presence of the so called
American party opposed to the in
Auence of the Mormon church in poll
tics. The Prohibition party has tick
cts in twenty-one states, the Socialist
in twenty-seven, the Independence
party in twelve, the Socialist Labor
In six and the Peoples or Populist
party in five, including Nebraska,
where the Populists have fused with
the Democrats. The Socialist Labor
party has a proxy" candidate sor
president, the real nominee being
Martin r. Preston, who is confined in
a Nevada Jail on a charge of murder
The proxy is August Gilhaus of New
Work

Hot Fight in New York State.

Here in New York state the fight
for reelection made by Governor
Hughes is almost overshadowing the
national contest Other states are
also seeing today the finishes of bitter
local contests. In Connecticut Con-
gressman Lilley of submarine boat
fame has as opponent Judge A. Hea-
ton Robertson. New Jersey and Penn
sylvania have been able to give their
undivided attention to national and
local issues, neither state electing a
governor today. In Illinois Governor
Deneen's claim to another term IN
office has been contested by former
Vice President Adlai E. Stevenson.
The congressional contest that has
attracted most attention has been
that between Speaker Cannon and
Henry G. Bell, the Democrat who has
his eyes on Uncle Joe's seat. The
Ohio fight has been waged with great
bitterness end zeal, the Republican
nominee in Mr.. Taft's home state be-
ing Governor Andrew l.. Harris, who
is opposed BY Judson Harmon, attor-
ney general in Mr. Cleveland's cab
