Gronna; Oklahoma, Thomas P. Gore;

Dakota, Chas. H. Burke.
New York, Pennsylvania, Kansas,
Illinois, and California. have been
centers OF great activity in tho gen.
eral campaign and both sides were re-
ported tonight to be claiming victory.
So far as the house of representatives
is concerned, democrats willingly adj
nit they will lose some members.
They declare they will gladly part
with few OF these members who
have made their majority unwieldly
to handle. But they indignantly take
issue with the republican claims which
insist that the next house will be re-
publican. ~
There are many interesting state
fights. Here in New York Governor
Glynn who succeeded to his present
position after Governor VIM. Sulzer
was impeached and removed, is
candidate for election, opposed by
Sulzer, who is running as the Amer
lean and prohibition candidate; Dis
trict Attorney Charles S. Whitman,
the republican candidate. and Frank
N. Davenport, progressive. The final
days of the campaign found the re-
ligious issue raised. Glynn is Of Irish
descent and a communicate OF the
Catholic church. Circulars attacking
him on racial grounds have been wide
.ly distributed with the result that
generally and many of the
leading members Of opposition par
ties have resented the attack, declar-
ing that 1t was an attempt to revert
to the days OF "knownothingism."
Tonight Glynn was the centre of a
series Of wind up rallies. speaking
from the same platform with Secre-
tary OF Treasury McAdoo, President
Wilson's son-in-law. In statement
issued tonight he claimed his election
next Tuesday by q substantial plural.
1ty but did not deal In figures. Dis
trict Attorney Whitman also wound
up his campaign tonight, touching
westchester county. His managers
claim he will win by 10000. Daven-
port CLOSED his fight in Brooklyn,
where, 50 In company with Colonel
Roosevelt, he made a number OF
speeches.
The fight for and against Senator
Penrose overshadows everything else
in the Pennsylvania fight. Both sides
are claiming the governorship. In
this connection VIM. Draper Lewis,
who was the candidate of the Wash
ington progressive party, withdrew
in favor OF the democratic candidate
and the fight here has been spirited
with Inc result in doubt. A. Mitchell
Palmer. democrat, and Clifford Pin
chot. progressive, are opposing PEN

assert the complete progressive tick

the reelection of Governor Jas. M.
Cox. over Garfield and Frank B. VIII
lis, the republican candidate, by SUBJ
stantial plurality In Illinois the
senatorship situation is the big thing,
there being no gubernatorial contest.
Roger Sullivan, the democratic can

,ican and present incumbent, and Ray

certain to be elected. The states
