Although the politicians will say This
is an of year." the entire army of the
administration. and the opposing forces
OF the republicans and progressives are
eagerly awaiting the hour Tuesday night
when the returns will indicate whether
the people Of half dozen big states are
thinking of an upset in politics when the
next countrywide election Is held. And
although ii Is an of year, In that no
Congress Is to be elected, the general
aspect Of the election to be held Tuesday
is an extremely interesting one, although
interest in the contests ranges from the
superheated In New York city down to
Q strange apathy in the state Of Virginia.
where there is but one candidate for the
governorship.

to New Jersey where governor and

rion ringing In their ears.
Would Aid Administration.
Elect a democratic ticket and you will
help the administration" the democrats
speakers have said in that state. 1.-THE
moral influence of the Presidents own
state going overwhelmingly democratic
is OF vast Importance
Republicans In this city who have kept
close to the progress Of the campaign OF
edward C. Stokes. the republican guber-
material candidate. say that Stokes '.is
up against it, purely and simply on ac-
count of this heart-to-heart style Of talk
from the best democrats that Washing
ton could send up there. However, that
is not claiming the election for Fielder

has to do a lot Of huStling. The third
horse in the race is Everett Colby. pro-
sressive. No one is worrying much about
him.
Massachusetts Is having a lively time

varieties of issues, with picturesque
Eugene FOss, who has been republican
and democrat and everything else, now
running independently; with David l..
Walsh regular democratic candidate;
augustus p. Gardner. the republican cam
didate: Charles Summer Bird the pro-
gressive candidate, and three others who
are already known as also rams" 1t is
looked upon as anybody's race as far as
the four big men are concerned.
Family Row in New York.
New York city will furnish enough
throes. fireworks and gore for an entire
nation before the last word is licked
over the wire Tuesday night, and New
York city's election is in no sense con-
nected with national issues. 1t is q
family row. and to all appearances Ed
ward +. Mccall, Tammany Hall candi-
date for mayor, will bow before John
Purroy Mitchell, the fusion candidate.
Figures last night obtained from New
York gave Mitchell from 10000 to $4,000
plurality. In addition to the ordinary
fireworks. the figure of "Bilr' Sulzer.
deposed democratic governor of New
York state, running for the assembly
on the progressive ticket, with a grand
chance to win out. gives zest to the pro-
ceedfngs. as for every ballot cast for
Sulxer Tammany Hall will vince once.
There will be hot state e.ection in
Maryland, where a successor to the late

warm fight for the seat. To succeed

umore. Charles p. Coady democrat, is
running against B. F. Woelper
