Thirty-six November Elec
lions Will Be Held
This Year.

Washington, d. c., Aug. 12.-At
the coming fall elections more states
will elect governors than ever before
in the history of the Union. For the
first time Oregon is to join the list
of commemorative electing their ex-
ecutives in November. Heretofore
the Oregon state election has been
held in June.
A total of thirty-six governors are
to be elected this fall. Thirty-two
will be voted for at the general cleo
tions in November. Three states
Vermont, Maine and Arkansas will
vote for governor next month, and
Georgia will elect its executive in
October.
The gubernatorial contests in some
of the states are of a more than Or
dinarily interesting character. The
elections in others will be of a pure
ly perfunctory character, the election
of the republican or the democratic
candidate, as the case may be, being
a foregone conclusion. Socialists
and prohibitionists will have candi-
dates for governor in a majority of
the states, and in some of them they
are expected to poll a considerable
vote
The liquor question figures as the
chief issue in the Alabama contest.
Col. Emmett O'Neal, the democratic
candidate, will undoubtedly be elect
ed to succeed Gov. Conner. The re-
publican candidate for governor is
j. o. Thompson of Birmingham.
Governor George w. Donaghey,
democrat, will be reelected at the
Arkansas election, which will take
place Sept. u. His opponent on the
republican ticket is A. l. Roland
In California the successor of Gov.
James N. Gillett will probably be a
republican. All parties will name
their tickets at the general primaries
next week. Theodore A. Bell, who
VISA chairman of the last democratic
convention, will be the democratic
candidate for governor. Four aspir-
ants are contesting for the republi-
can nomination.
In Colorado the democrats expect
to elect a successor to Gov. John F.
Shafroth. The nominating conven-
tions will be held next month.
In Connecticut the republicans
hope to choose the successor to Gov.
Weeks. There are two candidates for
the republican nomination, Charles
A. Goodwin and Everett Lake. The
former is a prominent Yale graduate
and the latter an old Harvard foot
ball player. All indications point to
the nomination of eX-Chief Justice
Simeon E. Baldwin for governor on
the democratic ticket.
Both parties in Delaware will work
Simeon S. Pennewill. The nomina-
lions are yet to be made.
In Florida Gov. Albert w. Gilchrist
will be succeeded by another demo-
crat
In Georgia also the democrats are
assured of the governorship. Gov. JO-
seph NJ. Brown is opposed for
another term by former Gov. Hoke
Smith. The choice will be made at
the primaries Aug. %, and the cleo
ton will follow in October.
The nominations have not yet been
made in Idaho, but the republicans
expect to have no difficulty in re-elect-
ing Gov James H. Brady.
Iowa republicans expect to re-elect
Gov. B. F. Carroll, though the demo-
Gratis have had their hopes for success
increased by the bitter factional con-
test between the republican regulars
and insurgents.
Gov. Walter R. Stubs, leader of
the republican insurgents in Kansas,
has just been re-nominated at the
state primaries, His opponent on the
democratic ticket is George H. Hodges
a member of the state senate.
The state election in Maine will be
held Sept. -. Gov. Bert M. Fernald
is a candidate for reelection on the
ticket. The democratic
nominee is Friedrich w. Plaised,
mayor of Augusta The democrats
are working hard this year and expect
to cut down the republican majority
even if they do not succeed in elect
ing their own candidate.
Massachusetts, unless the unexpect-
ed happens, will re-elect Gov. Eben
L. Draper, republican. The demo-
Gratis will name either Congressman
Eugene Foss or James H. Vahey, who
was their standard bearer last year.
The successor to Gov. Frank M.
Warner of Michigan will be IN all
probability be another republican.
Three republicans, Lieut.. Gov. Kelley,
Chase S. Osborn and Amos Mussel-
man of Grand Rapids, are contesting
for the nomination, which will be de-
cided at the state primaries on Sept
ember 6.
Gov. Adolph o. Eberhart is the re-
