Next Tuesday there will he elections In forty-three- Btates and two terri tories. In twenty-nine of the stutes a governor and other state officers; in the others minor state olllcors or justices of the supreme court, and lu seven, congressmen only are to be elected. The states of the union, with the exception of Maine, Ver mont and Oregon, will vote for mem bers of the House of Representatives. The three states named have held their state elections and will vote only for presidential candidates in the coming election. In Arkansas and Georgia the state officers have been chosen this summer, leaving on ly the representatives in congress and presidential candidates to be voted for. The terms of thirty-one United States senators twelve democrats and nineteen republicans expire March 3, 1909. In a number of the stutes the senatorial choice already has been made by primary. A tlonal house of representatives Is to be elected the sixty-nrst Congress. The present house Is composed d 223 republicans and 166 democrats, with two vacaucies caused by death, ono republican and one democrat. Maine has already elected four re hlirnns, Vermont two and Oregon1 two. The congressional situation al largo Is very mixed. There are be tween ninety and one hundred close congressional districts scattered through the country, most of thorn in states now classed as doubtful stntes. these districts are close in the sense that the republican or democratic plurality in the last election was so slender that It would take but a slight change In every voting preclncl to bring a reversal of the political complexion in this election.

Locnl issues have, nearly ev erywhere, taken precedence over questions of national Importance. Lo cal option and prohibition of the liquor traffic have played a more lm portnnt part In the contests In many states than ever before.
