VICTORY CLAIMED BY BOTH PARTIES MOLD KENTUCKY Five Candidates for Gov. ernOr-Stanley and Hen- dersOn Wage Warm
 Battle

Louisville Ky, November 1.--one of the most energetically waged gubernatorial campaigns in Kentucky in recent years ended today with both democratic and re- publican leaders claiming victory in the election tomorrow.
 Among five candidates for governor, the principal struggle has been between for mer Congressman A. o. Stanley. demo- crat, of Henderson, and Edwin H. Nor row, republican. of Somerset. They have pressed special trains into service and toured the state with widely known speakers. including Senators James, Kern, Lewis and Beckham for Mr Stanley and former Vice President Charles w. Fair banks for MT Morrow Fred J. Drexler, progressive, Louisville; F. l.. Pickett, pro- hibitionist; Wilmore and Charles Dobbs. socialist. Louisville, have contented them selves with less extensive campaigns
 In the absence of sharp differences in platform declarations. candidates for gov ernor of the two principals largely have made the issues. MT. Stanley has urged that a democratic victory in effect would be vote of confidence in President Will son, who has indorsed the ticket Mir Morrow has championed economy in the expenditure of state funds.
 All state officers. one-half of the state senate and all members of the lower house of the general assembly will be chosen
 The progressive situation has claimed attention. Republicans claim progressives have returned to the republican fold In 1912 they cast .766 votes in Kentucky In the senatorial primary in 1914 their vote approximately was 10000. Registration figures this year in Jefferson. the most populous county in the state, show 6s7 as against approximately 6313 in 1914

"PELLAGRA SQUAD" IS PARDONED BY
 GOVERNOR BREWER
Eleven Prisoners Granted Pardons by Mississippi's Governor forSubmitting
 to Government Tests

{ Jacisasep. Mises November EsiAvtsn conyicts at the Rankin, Miss, state prison farnl-seven Of them serving life sen tences-today were granted full pardons by Governor Brewer as a reward for sub hitting to prescribed tests by United States public health service authorities to determine the cause of and the cure for pelagra. A twelfth member of the prison ''pellagra squad was released a few months ago because of physical breakdown.
 The granting of freedom to the il pris- oners followed an official announcement by the Mississippi state board of health that experiments conducted at the con vict farm under direction of Dr. Joseph Goldberger and his assistants had demon- strated that pellagra is produced by an unbalanced ration and that Dr. Goldber- ger was convinced the disease could be cured if the patients were given proper food The results of the experiment are considered by prominent physicians irl this section as of exceptional importance in the prevention and treatment of the dis ease, which, in recent years it is de-
 
 in Mississippi and several other southern states. Physicians stated steps will be taken to introduce the diet treatment for pellagra into various sections where the disease is prevalent.
 Governments Experiment
 The experiment was begun February 15, 1915, with l2 prisoners, each of whom was promised a pardon If he would follow during stated period U diet prescribed by Dr.. Goldberger. The diet excluded, milk, fresh, lean meat eggs, peas and beans. A diagnosis conducted today by Dr. Goldberger and four Jackson physi- clans showed, it was announced, that six of the prisoners in the squad have pei lagra in pronounced form and that two others show symptoms suggestive of the disease
 In issuing the pardons, Governor Brew CT told the prisoners they were free to leave the convict farm If they desired but he urged them to remain several weeks and be nursed back to halth. Of the Il convjcts granted their freedom. six were serving life sentences for murder, one a life sentence for criminal assault one had 10 years yet to serve for manslaugh- ter, two about five years each for em- bezzlement and one about four years for bigamy.
 The .pellagra squad" was under the personal supervision of Dr. c. A. Wheel- er assistant surgeon of the United States public health service, who remained on duty constantly from the beginning of the test The prisoners were given the usual prison fare from February 15 until April 23 after which time they were placed upon the diet prescribed by Dr. Goldber- ger Up to April 23 none had showed symptoms of pellagra Throughout the period the state authorities maintained secrecy regarding the experiment, because of the fear that relatives of the prisoners under observation might institute habeas corpus proceedings or take other legal steps to have them released from the ''pellagra squad"

Conspicuous in Politics
 Following the nomination of Bryan al the 1908 convention, Mir Ridder was chosen as treasurer, and, in his own name and those of his brothers, he contributed $S7,0O0. the largest single contribution tc the Bryan campaign.
 Mir Ridder was owner and editor of the New Yorker Staats-Zeitung, one of the foremost German newspapers in the Uni. ted States. and through this he was par ticularly conspicuous recently in his ar dent defense of the German position ir the European war.
 MT. Riddsr was one of the so-called self-made men, and New Yorker from birth until his death. The story is told of a dinner which he gave to 25 New York men at the time Col. Robert Clowry first established himself in New York to take charge of the Western Union Telegraph company. poll of birthplaces was taken at the table and the German editor proved to be the only born New Yorker present
 He was born March 5, 1851 His Ger man parents were not far removed from poverty-so near it. in fact that young Bidder began earning his own living when Il years old, as an errand boy in hat street brokers office, as employe of a fire insurance company and then as an insurance agent.

terested in politics, and at that early age before he cast his first vote, he stumped the whole lower East Side of New York city and won for his favorite nomina- tion for district judge, later electing his man.
 Veteran Newspaper Man
 He entered the newspaper business when he was 27 years old by establish ing the first Roman Catholic newspaper in New York city in German. and soon afterward started the Catholic News in English, which in a short time became recognized as a leading Catholic paper of the country.
 In 1890 MT. Ridder became a stocxholdei in the Daily Staats-Zeitung, and was elected treasurer and manager. Under his direction that paper assumed leading position in its field He became president of the corporation in 1907 and at the time of his death he was publisher of infiu- ential morning and afternoon papers in German.
 MT. Ridder made several trips abroad during which he wa sreceiyed by Elm peror William of Germany, and he brought back the Emperor's enthusiastic wish that he might some day visit the United States.
 At the time of the reciprocity negotia- tions with Canada, Mir. Ridder was one of the most vigorous in the denuncia ton of the paper trust prices for news print paper and it was largely due to the fight which he and others made that cheaper news print paper was secured.
