CAMPAIGNS IN MANY STATES AT AN END i mm five STATES ELECT DEW TICKETS Politicians' of Old School Declare Conditions Aro Similar to Thoso of 1800 Insurgency Movement JlAsiGalnod CJrent Strength. NEW YORK, Nov. 5. In most of tho states of tho Union today the congressional campaign Is drawing to a closo. In a few states tho red fire will glow on Monday evening and a fow husky voiced campaigners will addrcs3 such voters as will lis ten on tho ovo ot election. But tho real closo of tho campaign, is today. In overy state except Maino and Vermont congressional elections will be held. In 25 states comploto now stato tlckota will bo voted for. In somo of tho Btates tho gubernatorial fights aro considered characteristic and Indicative ot tho strugglo two yearn hence, when a now prcsldont will bo' chosen. Not since 1890, when,'' tho lioueo of representatives was returned sweopingly democratic with 'a republican president and a re publican senate, has an "off year" election aroused such Interest. Democratic Trend. Politicians of tho school ot old doclr.ro that conditions aro similar to thoso of 1890 and that the elec- tlon now has tho samo democratic trend that was noted when tho vot ers of tho United States, aftor plac ing Benjamin Harrison in tho presi dential, chair, gave him a congress consisting of 236 democrats and 88 republicans In tho house during the second halt of his administration. Insurgency Strong. For this reason and because of tho Insurgent independent movement which haa gathered greater impetus than "evor beforo In its history, 'the coming elections aro being watched with lntorost throughout tho coun try. Lcadors in mo of tho states north of tho Mason and Dixon lino and in somo of thoso south of it, whora the independent insurgent movoment is tho real issue, declare that tho Intorest of tho voters them selves is deepor than is usual in a congressional oloction, and they aro predicting that an unusually heavy voto will bo cast. Teddy An Issue. In a fow ot tho states tho guber natorial contest overshadows tho congressional elections. Ono of theso states Is Now York, where the lasuo is admittedly Theodore Roose velt. In spito of tho fact that tho direct primary la playing a part in tho campaign and that tho tariff plank of tho republican platform has been tho cause ot somo dissension within tho ranks of the party, the question of tho influence and fol lnurini' nt tho former nrcsldent is tho factor that Is taking tho center ot tho stage. Tho campaign has been acrlmonl mio T?nrviAvnlt h.in r.hnrccd that Wail street and Tammany hall have ontorcd Into an nlliauco 10 ueieai wiu republican party and that ho had soon circulars substantiating his charges.

This fight la being watchod closely throughout tho east as an in dication of the strength of tho in surgent movement in tho west. In Connecticut tho gubernatorial contest also is tho big factor. Judgo Baldwin, democratic "progresslve consorvativo and local option" are tho issues, although tho question of tho senatorial vacancy to bo filled by tho next legislature Is complicat ing the Issue. In Massachusetts, for tho first timo In years, tho republican lead ers are willing to "admit that the re sult of tho gubernatorial election 1b In doubt. New Jersey.

LAUNDRY SAVED BY JAPANESE The habit of the janapeso porter who works In Urown & Ityan's saloon, for early rising probably saved tho.MeJ ford laundry from destruction by flro Saturday morning, as a few ni'nutoH mora start for tho flro would liaio muuu It serious. ' At the closing up of tho Uundry Fri day evening somo of tho girls had some of their own Ironing to do. Tho last Instruction given by t'.iu proprietors was that all Irons should be switohed off when tho girls quit. It Is evident that one of tho Krls forgot to turn the switch when sho was through with the electric Iron. At 3:30 when the above mentlonc! Jap was crossing tho brldga from the cast side, whoro he lives, he saw a light In thu laundry. As he told It, the story was like this- "I sea light In laundry, no evor seo him beforo at that' time night. Stop on the bridge and loog see. Pretty soon blr I'.nmo all Inside. I run like hell up strret and holler 'flro' nil the time Some men I meet ask me where fire. I say ut laundry: then they laugh anil say I liar. Pretty quick I And policeman and efterwhllo fire boyu bet there and put him out." Outside of the damage to the elec tric Irons, the burning of three or four cheap tables and tho charring of the floor and side walls whero thi Iroqs were located the damage was slight. As nearly as the management can figure at present, the loss of olothtng consigned to them for laundry has bean light, upon which fact they are con gratulating themselves Home of these days a rsal Ore alarm will be sent In from southwest Modford, and the department and oltlzens will look upon It as the old cry of "wolf" and full, to respond, perhaps, as quickly as usual. One can hardly censure the residents of that section, however, for sending out, a cry for help as soon as an Inclp I ent blaze starts, As they am a long dlstanca from the fire station, and an ounce of prevention is worth a pound WILL 8E HELD 15-17 NOVEMBER I!
