CONGRESSMAN GAINES.

.hsl Six years ago when MIR. Nllilan'
Seymour Edwards entered the lisiS
against Mr.. Joseph IL. Gaines for tNH
Republican nomination for congress-
man from this district, The Ad!r.
cate supported Mr.. Edwards. It's
reason for SO doing was that its man
agement felt that the interests =!
his Negro constituency WAS OF
no concern whatever to Mr..
Gaines. AT that time it was as easy
for 4 Negro man to see the Pope at
the Quirinal as to got an audiences
with Mr.. Gaines. NoW, the Dalai
Lama Of Lhasa is more approacla-
BILE than he.
The truth is that Mr.. Gaines is not
in touch with either the major POI
ton of the whites nor the Negroes
in his district and he is drifting fur
thcr from them every day.
In the distribution Of patronaG,
MIR. Gaines has exhibited cOlOr-htlnd-
ness Of the most pronounced type:
invariably delaying for an incNcusa-
bic length Of time answers 10 let
ters, and showing when it came to
getting Il Negro even mrnial jolt
but little of that influence he Is
said to posses. Though dean of our
congressional representation, there
is not another of his fellow mem
bcrS from this state who can no;
show moro Negro appointments to |
his credit than can Mr.. Gaines.
With his white brother the Negro
wants his district represented by
man who will measure up with any
man in the lower house of the ma
.ional Legislature, but while hissI
is measuring up he
locs not want him TO hold his head
lmong the clouds all the time. The
olorcd brother would like to have
lis congressman look down at least |
ong enough to distribute those lit
lie 5t'pickingS' which go along with
the job. This Mr.. Gaines has sig
laliy failed to do and he will have !
lone to blame but himself if Capt. |
Avis succeeds him at Washington.

EARLY VOTING
in NEW YORK
Lines Of Men at the Polls
Before s o'clock This
Morning
BETTING ON THE RESULT
HAS BEEN VERY LIGHT

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
NEW YORK, Nov. s.--Esrly hours at
the polls here to-day indicated that the
vote will be one of the heaviest cast
in years In spite of cold, blustery
morning in which the first snow Of the
season changed into rain and then
back into snow, the polls had hardly
opened at o'clck before lines Of vot-
ers began to form. Within half hour
of opening many of the voting places
were crowded to the limit.
Notwithstanding the deep interest
in the election, as indicated in the
voting. betting is declared to have
been lighter in this city than for years
past. Wall street authorities to-day
declared that not over $500, 900 has
been laid on the result At the close Of
betting last night odds were running
from 1-2 to in favor of Dix with
very little money, however, at the lat
ter figure. What money was placed
was largely on the question of plu-
ralities, the prevailing odds being even
money that Dix will win by 10000

the eleventh hour admission Of Colonel
Roosevelt that he is not counting on
a majority of more than $4,000 for
Stimson. Chairman Prentice OF the Re-
publican State Committee has been
claiming victory by over 100000
That both Colonel Roosevelt and
Stimson felt the need OF extraordinary
efforts on the very eve OF election was
apparent from the campaign which
both made yesterday and which they
kept up until midnight.
Final meeting by the Colonel was
held IN Schutzen Park. Astoria, Queens
county. where over 5000 people wait
ed till after 10 O'Clock TO welcome him
