BENNINGTON, VT. OCT. 90, 1911

The of year elections are to take
place next week Tuesday and. while
they are mainly on state and local
issues, national questions will affect
them to some extent. In Massachu-
sets, Kentucky, Rhode Island, Miss
issippi and New Mexico a governor
and other state officers are to be
chosen; in New Jersey and Virginia,
a legislature only; in New York, sew.
eral members of the state judiciary,
and in Nebraska supreme Judge,
regent of the state university and
railroad commissioner. In Pennsyl-
vania, Ohio Utah and California, mu-
nicipal officers are to be selected.
while in New York number of judi
ges and a sheriff are to be voted for.
Probably the greatest interest attach
es to the contest in Massachusetts,
where Governor Foss is a candidate
for reelection on the Democratic
ticket and Is opposed by Louis A.
rockingham, Republican. Governor
Foss made his campaign last year
largely on national issues and there
fore the election may show to some
slight extent the tendency of the
voters on these issues and especially
whether the reciprocity campaign in
this country and Canada has borne
any fruit. Next to Massachusetts
possibly Rhode Island offers the
most interesting field for speculation.
The contest last year was very close,
Pothier. Republican, defeating Wat
erman, Democrat, by a small major
ity. This year the same men again
head the respective tickets
and the fact that Rhode Island is al.
most wholly a manufacturing state,
gives the election bearing doubt.
less on the effect of the tariff Issue,
In Maryland there Is sharp contest
for the governorship and for some
years Maryland has often been q
close state, though the Democrats
usually win there. In New York the
Republicans are hoping to regain
control of the lower branch of the
Legislature In drawing conclusions
from next weeks elections, however

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington.-The first regular ses-
sion of the Sixty-second Congress
convened Monday. Practically every
member was in his seat and the gal
leries were crowded. Legislative ma
chinery is in readiness for a long
session, Speaker Clark and other
leaders having predicted that adjourn
ment may not come until after the
national conventions of the two big
litical parties have been held.
This has not happened since 1855.
The opening will not only be the
the start of Congress in which party
leaders will struggle for party vantage
at the polls next November, but it Will
initiate the brilliant winter social
season at the national capital.
When you contemplate all the i'm
portant legislation to be considered
said Speaker Clark, you are forced to
the conclusion that Congress will be
in session until well into the summer
il not until fall"
while no definite program as to
tariff bills has been framed" said
Democratic Leader Underwood. lit is
certain the Democratic caucus will
unanimously approve immediate ac-
ton by the ways and means commit
tee. The committee will welcome the
report of the tariff board on the tex
tile schedules. but it will not delay ac-
ton for any great length of time if
the boards report is held back.
"Of course the principal schedules
to be revised or reduced will be wool,
cotton, iron and steel. and possibly
sugar. As to the sugar schedule the
ways and means committee will look
forward TO the report of the special
committee of inquiry into the Ameri-
can Sugar Refining Company. This
report, it is expected, will contain rec
concentrations on the sugar tariff"
Upon the attitude of the Insurgent
Republicans will depend the legisla-
tive accomplishment OF the Senate, as
they hold the balance of power as be-
tween the regular Republicans and the
Democrats.

who hope to formulate tariff leglsla-
