Gompers, and arise when efforts
are made to expand and take in
more territory.

And when we fought for the
independence of Cuba we at the

possession of Porto Rico and the
Philippines.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-Three state and five congressional elections to be held Nov are looked to by national committeeman here to furn- ish an indication of the present political sentiment of the country.
 Perhaps the most closely watched contest is that for the governorship of Massachusetts. The present gov crnor, David I. Walsh, democratic, is a candidate for reelection, and op- posing him is former Congressman Samuel w. Mccall.
 Both parties have been using na- tional issues to a large extent in their campaigns, and the result is expected to be an intimation of the disposition of New England toward the two national parties.
 o. w. Weller, republican, is running against E. c. Harrington, democrat, for the governship of Maryland Internal political strife has put this state in the republican rank. The re- publicans say they will hold it this year.
 Tn Kentucky, normally democratic state, Gov. A. o. Stanley is running for reelection against E. P. Morrow, democrat.
