To Eliminate Negro Vote.

BALTIMORE, Nov. ILLUMINATION
of the colOred vote is the great issue
in todays elevtiOn in Maryland, with
the election of a comptroller as a side
issue. The democrats of the state, al
most to a man are back of the consti-
tutiOnal amendment which will prac-
tically render all negroes incapable of
exercising the franchise, while repub-
licans generally are voting against it.
1t is likely that the amendment will
be adopted, and the result will doubt
less be to place Maryland prominently
in the democratic column III all future
state and national elections. A some
what similar amendment was rejected
in 1905.

five general propositions-four pro-
posed amendments to the constitu-
ton of the state, and one law provid-
ing for the issue of bonds to the
amount of $7,OOO,OOO, for the improve
ment of the Cayuga and Seneca canals
to accord with the measure of the
barge canal work on the Erie, Black
river and Champlain canals, already
provided for.
All four of the amendments to be
passed upon by the people this year
are of more than ordinary Importance
though only one of them-the So
called "debt-limit amendment''-w

by much mud-slinging and mutual re-
elimination
Gubernatorial contests are on today
in Massachusetts, Rhode Island and
Virginia. In these states and in Penn
sylvania. Maryland, Nebraska and d
few other states minor state officers
will be chosen. In most of those
states. and also in New York and New
Jersey. one or both branches of the
legislature will be elected. Some of
these legislatures will be called upon
to choose United States senators. All
of them will be expected to take ac-
ton, adverse or favorable, on the
proposition for a sixteenth amendment
to the Constitution to grant the pow
er to congress to pass an income tax
bill whenever congress deems such
legislation necessary.
The republicans will choose the
governor in Massachusetts and prob
ably in Rhode Island, although the lat
ter, which always gives it's electoral
vote to republican presidential candi-
dates, sometimes places democrats in
the governors chair. In Virginia the
contest is decidedly interesting. Kent,
the republican candidate for govern
or, will receive many democratic votes
on account of favoring local option,
while Mann, the democratic candidate,
tavOrs statewide prohibition. Bryan's
plurality in Virginia in 1908 was only
10000. AS the whiskey issue in it's
various phases attracts far more at
tention in the south than it does else
where, and as Governor SwanSOn's
record is injuring Judge Mann's
chances, the republicans are reason
ably certain to cut the democratic
lead in Virginia to very small figure

In Massachusetts,.

BOSTON. Nov lit is certain that
headed by Eben S. Draper, of Hope
dale. for governor, will be elected to-
day. Owing to the one-sided aspect
of the contest, the state election has
attracted little attention among the
rank and file, and the vote is appar-
emily to be very small.
The platform on which Gov Draper
stands approved the Payne-Aldrich
tariff bill and a merchant marine sub
sidy bill 1t declared in favor of
referring the question of federal in
come tax to the legislature, because
the state already collects such tax,
and the issue Of turning the revenue
over to the national government or
of levying a double tax is involved.
In this city the voters are today de-
Gliding upon the form of municipal
government under a new charter, two
plans having been submitted. One of
these plans provides for a commits
sion system of government and many
radical reforms in the conduct of mu-
nicipal affairs, including the follow
ing:
Mayor elected for four years, sub,
ject to recall by majority of the
voters
City council of nine eected at
large.
'Councilmen serve for three year
terms.
'All nominations for city officers to
be made by petition of not less than
5000 voters.
mo party Designation on ballot"
The other plan contains the follow
ing provisions:
Mayor elected for two years.
City council of one member from
each ward Except 90 and "a, which
have two each) and nine at large.
"Councilmen serve two-year terms,
except those at large who have three
year terms.
Ward councilmen to be nominated
in primaries; the mayor, school COM
mittee and councilmen at large by
nominations and dele
gates elected in primaries.
Party names on the ballot"
BY the adoption of one or the other
of these plans a new regime will be-
gin. A number of offices will be abol-
ished. The mayor is given concurrent
powers with the council All appro-
priations, other than for school pur-
poses, to be met from taxes, revenue
or any source other than loans shall
originate with the mayor. The city
council may reduce or reject any
item, but without the approval of the
mayor it shall not increase any item
in nor the total of a budget, nor shall
it originate a budget.
The mayor and the council are
given full power to reorganize, con-
soldate, or abolish departments, with
certain exceptions.

ney John b. Moran Of Boston, who has
been here for some time trying to re-.

Mr.. Coakley see9ed to be down-heart-
ed after his visit to District Attorney
Moran, and said that he did not care
to talk much about the condition of his
old friend. He did say, however, that
Mr., Moran had failed very much since he
saw him in Boston and that he found
him greatly emaciated and bis voice al
most gone. Mr.. Moran takes very little
exercise and when Mr.. Coakley called
he found the Boston district attorney in
bed
Mr. Moran's physician told Mr. Coax
ley that he regretted to inform him that
Mr., Moran had not held his own since
arriving here and he feared that the
malady had overwhelmed his patient.
Mr. Moran's brother in Boston has been
notified Of the serious condition Of the
district attorney and he is expected here
