The Prescott daily news., 1910-11-07

the last session of congress. does hot appear to have spread with any great rapidity. From the returns from a number of the states where this ! movement flourishes the insurgents and regulars seem to have broken about even. Kansas and Idaho are the two exceptions The insurgents In these states seem to have complete control of the situation. In Iowa, 1 however, there is a strong fight and where the Republican regulars gained the nominations the insurgents have placed independent candidates in the held. Minnesota, Wisconsin and h. l diana are insurgent, while the move ment Is strong in Washington, Oregon and California. The leaders feel con. tident, however, when the returns are counted on election day, they will show balance in favor of the Re. ' publicans, wGether regular or in 1 Surgent.
 In socalled pivotal states the cam paign has been exceedingly bitter. In | states in the Union will select gov ernors, while 36 will elect state legis- latures. The Democrats will make d vigorous fight to get majority of the state legislatures in order to insure q majority in the senate and in the next congress, At the present time there Is Republican majority of 26 in the upper house. Thirty-one terms expire this year and the new state legisla- tires will select successors when they convene in January Of the 31 whose terms expire, "A are Republicans.
 All Watching New York. The eyes of the entire country are centered on New York state, where there are no less than six parties competing-the Republican, Demo cratic, Independence League, Prohibit 1 tion and the two Socialist parties.

 Colonel Theodore Roosevelt has stumped the state for Stimson and has denounced the Democratic candi- date as the representative of Tam many Hall and the Wall street inter- ests Hearst has directed his fire mainly against the Democratic ticket The Democrats are blaming the Re publicans for the high cost of living, which is due, they say, to the tariff. Their main batteries, however, are levcled against Colonel Roosevelt. They claim that Stimson is merely his puppet, and will be only the nom inal ruler if elected to office, while Roosevelt will run the state.
 There are also $7 candidates for congress to be selected in New York state. At the present time the Re. publcans have 20 in the lower house, while the Democrats have 12. The gubernatorial situation, however, is of the greatest interest and whichever one wins will undoubtedly carry with hin, thp rpct Df tho ticket
 Some Other Lively Contests.
 In Massachusetts the Democrats were unable to select a candidate at the convention and Eugene Foss con aressman for the Fourteenth district, was finally picked by the state com mittee to head the ticket. Eben s. Draper, the present incumbent, is again at the head of the Republican ticket
 The Democrats of Connecticut have nominated Judge Simeon E. Baldwin, who is being opposed by Charles Goodwin. The Republican organiza- ton in this state is very strong, and controls the four congressional dis tricts. as we'll as the congressman-a large.
 New Jersey also has an interesting fight on her hands. Woodrow Wilson, formerly president of Princeton uni yersity, is running on the Democratic ticket against Vivian Lewis, candidate of the Republican organization. Will son has conducted a very vigorous campaign and the leaders seem con
