CLOSE RACE IN MARYLAND.

Baltimore, Nd, Noy. 6-(By Union
Associated Press) - Maryland has
been put on the list of doubtful States
in tomorrow's election, and justly 50.
The Republicans and ~Progressives are
united this time, but there is a bitter
fight on between the State organiza-
ton and Governor Harrington on the
one side, and the Baltimore City ma
chine on the other, which the Demo-
cratic politicians themselves admit
will affect the vote in the city. There
is little or no disposition on the part
Of city managers to work to get out
the vote. The Presidents friends,
however, are confident that he will
carry the State, while the Republicans
are rs optimistic about the chances of
Hughes.

NEW YORK DAY BY DAY.

New York, Nov. 6-Tonight will be
an unusual night in New York City.
Both the Republicans and the Demo-
Gratis will wind up their campaign and
at the respective meetings planned the
presidential candidates will be the
principal speakers. It has been an
unusual campaign and even though the
election is but three days away. the
element Of doubt issa potent as ever.
Wall Street has wagered hundreds Of
thousands on both candidates on all
sorts Of odds. While it has been pre-
dicted that the betting will influence
the votes, this statement is hardly
credited, because there r men in
many sections Of the country so preju-
diced against the. methods Of Wall
Street that its doings would not in
i1uence them in any way whatever.

New York, Nov. 6-(By Union AS
ISOLATED Press)-Managers of the
Republican and Democratic national
headquarters admit today that the
women voters are giving them no little
concern regarding the outcome of
tomorrow's voting. According to some
election statisticians, women voters
have the power to cast the deciding
votes at the presidential election. The
doubtful states which women could
swing, if they voted as . class, would
make it reasonably certain that their
candidates would be victorious. They
vote for n~inety-one Presidential elec-

Furriers In Soft.

The furriers are in soft this season.
It looks as if they would make more
money than the Du Points made last
year. "Do you know that four de-
partment stores in this city yesterday
didn't have a suit in the house that
wasn't fur trimmed?" was the in
formation volunteered by a woman
shopper to 4 friend in the elevated.
II finally bought black velvet in des-
peration. If any shop should adver-
tise . line Of models not trimmed with
fur, it would take a mounted police
to handle the crowd. You see the
trouble is that they all have rat or
wolf or something on them that re-
.quires a special muff, because nobody
ever owns sets Of those funny furs.
It's a great game-for the furriers."

railroads and railway brotherhoods
held at New York during the past
week they failed to agree as to the

the feeling has gone out that there
is "a possibility that the railroad
boys have probably lost some of the
rights for which they have fought
for years. namely the existing mile
age system of compensation.

THOSE who had the idea that Bob
LaFollette's popularity in Wisconsin
was waning should take the time to
look over election figures for the

votes are all canvassed it will be

state over his democratic opponent
by nearly 100, 900, the largest ma
jority ever given him. LaFollette
may have lost the support of the
Milwaukee dailies, including the
Journal, which went against him
during the last two weeks of the
campaign, but it is plain to be seen
that the people are still loyal to
their favorite son.

To THE members of the deer
family, and especially to the grand
pa deer, father deer and even the
son, Northern Wisconsin is mighty
poor place to live in just now with
an army of many thousands of hum
tiers wearing their red and green
coats invading the home of the
animals.
The hunting season opened up
last Saturday morning at sunrise and
until sun set on the last day of the
present month it will be unsafe to be
a deer in Northern Wisconsin, even
though he seeks the most outlandish
place, for wherever he may GO Mr..
Hunter will be"there.
The bombardment has been started
in the north country woods and rural
residents are beginning to think,
judging from the sounds of roaring
guns, that an invading army had
entered the forest. The deer is
wholly on the defensive in this cam
paign and is probably outnumbered
hundred to enc and he will have
to depend entirely upon his cunning
and heetness of foot to survive.
For the remaining days of the sea-
son the members of the deer family
will be given little breathing spell
during the day time and at night
will have to put in the time gather
ing feed to enable them to keep up
the fast gait the following day.
The laws under which the hunter
is hunting this season is the same as
last, permitting the killing of one
buck deer. This law was passed in
order to give the deer an opportunity
to multiply and to make hunters
more careful when they are shooting.
SO far as the latter is concerned the
! the law seems to have worked well
for during the last season Wisconsin
reported no casualties due to hunters
| firing at a man who was mistaken
for deer. But as to preserving the
the game it is doubtful if the law
had any great effect for numbers of
does and fawns have been left in the
woods to spoil after they have been
killed by mistake by hunters.
