states have been occupied mainly with local issues and a few contests for Congress.
 Tennessee is claimed by the Demo- cratic state chairman by a 5,000 plurality, but the Republicans say that MT. Hughes visit to Nashville helped them greatly and that they not only will cut deeply into the normal Dem ocratic vote but will elect at least a part of their state ticket and four Congressmen.
 The Democratic managers claim that North Carolina will give the state and national ticket majority of 40,- coo and that they will unseat Repre- sentative Britt, of the Tenth district. one of the few southern Republicans
 Seizing the opportunity offered by Democratic party strife in Florida, the Republicans have made an un- usually vigorous campaign in favor of their state ticket headed by Geo. w. Allen, of Key West, and while it is conceded that the electoral vote will be Democratic and that the Dem ocratic state ticket will be chosen, Republican leaders believe that one of the largest Republican votes of recent years will be cast. w. V. Knott. regular Democratic nominee and St. J. Catts, a minister, are can didates for governor.

 Close fights are expected in several of the Congressional districts but the Republicans declare they will elect the four Congressmen-at -at-Large and representatives from 27 of the 32 Congressional districts.

POLL SOON WILL REMODEL PLAZA
 THEATRE HERE

s. z. Po1i owner of the Plaza thea
 Hawes Opera house, will soon rebuild
 the structure and give Bridgeport an
 other modern theatre of big seating
 capacity
 This move will not come within the next six months, because of existing
 leases in the building. but it will fol-
 low the Poli policy of improving all
 properties controlled by him and giv-
 ing the cities in which he is located
 the most modern theatre architec- ture.
 By the rebuilding of the present structure to cover property now own ed by MT. Poli but not utilized, the frontage on Fairfield avenue will be greatly benefited and much large, and commodious space will be given to the auditorium.
 MT. Polls plans will meet with ap-
 proval of every property owner, mer- chant and theatre-goer in Bridgeport as they mean real progress in the busi- ness section, and will undoubtedly of- fer those tenants now occupying the building far larger and better quar- ters than at present.
 The Hayes Opera House, which has been run under various arrangements until purchased by s. z. Poi, opened l its doors about 1876. Barton, Prim- rose & Vests minstrels were the first 1 to show in the house, patrons paying l 35> cents for the cheaper gallery seats l Nearly every prominent actor and ac- 1 tress of the last three decades has since appeared on the stage. It was 1 there that George B. Bhnnell, proprie- 1 tor of the side shows with the original l Barnum show, display the five sisters
 who toured the country to fame that resulted in the Seven Sutherland Sis ters' proprietary medicines becoming world renowned.
 The house had been under many 1 policies until the present successful ] vaudeville and picture offerings under
 MT. Polls management made it a prime amusement attraction in Bridgeport.
