Municipal Campaigns Are Cen
ter of Interest in Tues
day's Elections. '
NEGRO IS MARYLAND ISSUE
San Francisco, Philadelphia and
w York Mako Demands for
Reform in Control of Mu
nicipal Government.
NEW YORK. Oct. 31. Elections will be
held Tuesday in many stat.-s and cities.
Throe states will elect Governors and
full state tickets, namely: Massachu
setts. Rhode Island and Virginia.
New Jersey will elect both branches
of the Legislature. Pennsylvania win
elect a state Treasurer, an Auditor-General
and Judge of the Supreme Court.
Nebraska will elect three Justices of the
Supreme Court and three University
Regents.
Only Local Issues Invo'ved.
In point of interest. the municipal
campaigns of New Tork. Philadelphia
and ban Franc'tco far exceed those of
ths state contests. In each of these muni
cipal contests the reform question te a
dominant issu-s. Practically all or the
contests, state and municipal, are on
local issues, with no National questions
involved.
Massachusetts The Massachusetts cam
paign has been short and sharp. Gov
ernor Eben S. Draper, Republican, is
seeking re-election against James H.
Vahey. Democrat. The other candidates
for Governor are Daniel A. White, So
cialist; John A. Nicholls. Prohibition, and
Moritz F. Huthpr. Social-Labor.
Rhode Island The same candidates for
Governor who opposed each other last
year again head the ticket this yean
Governor Aram J. Pothier being the Re
publican nominee and Olney Arnold the
Democrat. The other candidates for Gov
erno are Willis S. White. Prohibition:
Frederick Hurst. Socialist, and Richard
Holland. Social Labor.
New York Chief interest in New York
has centered In the whirlwind municipal
campaign of New York City, which has
b-en exceptionally bitter. With three
Mayoralty candidates in the field. Wil
liam J. Gaynor. the Democratic and
Tammany nominee; Otto T. Bannard, Re
publican standard bearer, and William R.
Hearst, leading the Civic Alliance, party
lines have bsen shattered and political
managers are guessing at pluralities for
the candidates.
Fight Centers on Tammany.-
The issues t- the overthrow of
Tammany Hall and an effort of the
Republican and Civic Alliance forces-to
capture control of the Board of Esti
mates and Apportionment, which will
have control of vast outlays of money
for subways and other large money
undertakings.
Pennsylvania In Pennsylvania the
chief Interest Is in Philadelphia, where
the reform element is endeavoring to
break the pc. r of the local Republican
organzatlon.
The reformers, under the title of the
William Penn party, have again placed
IK Clarence Glbboruy. head of the Phila
delphia I -aw and Order Society, in the
field for District Attorney against
SamiM P. Rotan, Republican, renom
inated. Gibbony Is also on the Demo
cratic ticket, but the Democrats, as an
organization, have not held a meeting
In his interest, nor. has the organization
officially Indorsed him. The streetcar
question is a leading issue. Pennsyl
vania elects a Treasurer, Auditor-General
ana Judge' of the Supreme Court.
The candidates for state Treasurer are
J. A. Stover, Republican; George W.
Klpp. Democrat; Frank Fish, Prohibi
tion; Edward W. Moore. Socialist.
New Jersey The fact that the eight
- State Senators to be chosen in New
Jersey thlc year will each have a vote
at the session 'of 1911 for a United
Sates Senator to succeed Senator John
Kean. adds about the only state-wide
interest to the election.
Virginia The campaign in Virginia
has been marked by unusual apathy.
The offices to be filled are Governor,
Lieutenant-Governor, members of the
General Assembly and other state of
fices. The state Democratic ticket la
headed by Judge William Hodges Mann,
a Confederate veteran, who stands on a
platform which advocates local option,
also fu-ored by the Republicans. Tha
Republican nominee for Governor
Is William P. Kent, who resigned as
American Consul-General to Guatemala
to make the race. The Socialist Labor
party has nominated A. K. Bennett.
Maryland Has Xegro Issue.
Mary lnr-d Tiie paramount issue in this
slate is the so-called disfranchising
amendment to the state constitution ad
mittedly designed to eliminate tne negro
as a political facttr. The amendment
contain) alternative provisions- by which
the citizen may register and vote. First
Is the so-called grandfather- clause"
prviding for those who voted prior to
IStO. and their descendants; secondly, a
clause whereby a citizen naturalized prior
to November 2. 1!. and their descend
ants may register and voV. All not In
cluded witiun these classes mtibt either
pay taxes n property assessed at JoOO or
pass an educational test. The negro.
havi:ig had no vMe in Maryland prior to
lSt. the educational test applies- almost
exclusively to r.im.
Ohio Municipal and township offi
cers will be elected in every community
in Ohio. The Issues are local, al
though the temperance question is a
factor in several cities. The Mayoralty
contest In Cleveland .is attracting at
tention. Mayor Tom !.. Johnson is a
candidate for the fifth time on the
Democratic ticket. He -Is opposed by
County Recorder Herman C. Baehr. the
Republican candidate.
Indiana The temperance question la
prominent in the municipal campaign in
Indianapolis. The primary' elections at
Irdar.apolis resulted in "anti-organization"
candidates for Mayor being nomin
ated by both Republicans and Democrats.
The Republican candidate is Samuel
Lewis- Shark, and h's- Democratic op
porent s Charles A. Gauss.
Nebraska No important issues are at
stake In this state. The or.ly state offi
cers to be elected are three justices of the
Supreme Court, two university resents
for the full term and one to fill a va
cancy. The nominees for Supreme Court
are: Republicans. John B. Barnes. Ja
cob Fawcett and Samuel H. Sedgwick;
Iieir.ocrat and Populist. Janes R. Dean,
Benjamin F Goode and John Sullivan.
RADICALS LEAVE THE ROOM
pr. Wise's Words Too Moderate to
Please Them.
TTia execution of Francisco Ferrer was
th subject of discussion at a meeting of
DOM! I
the Jewish "Socialist Literary Society at
the Neighborhood louse, 427 First street,
last night, with H. J-angerock and Dr.
Jonah B. Wise the speakers. Dr. Wise,
the second speaker, was forced to witness
an exodus, during his talk, as a num
ber of the more radical socialists walked
out of the house when he declared that
America is a free country, that -capital
has rights as well as labor, and that
fanaticism is the bane of socialism.
Dr. Wise protesUd against the United
States law that n6 anarchist be allowed
to enter America as a refuge from politi
cal oppression at home. He said in part;
We are all ready to declaim ag-alnst
the alnation of Ferrer. But who wu

to travel andI set out at once, think
ing I could send a relief expedition to
find him. I (could not persuade him to
go with me. He dreamed of water run

under the new direct primary law.
Saturday marked the end of one of the
A
Fraocls J. Heney.
hottest election battles ever waged in
San Francisco, and with the last of
the big mass meetings held in various
districts last night the contending po
litical forces will rest on their arms
until the polls open Tuesday morning.
All the candidates on the various
tickets which will appear on .the offi
cial ballot were selected either by the
votes of the party electors at the
direct primary held under the provision
I of the new direct primary law or win
be placed on the ballot by petition.
In tne fight for the Mayoralty and
the District Attorneyship, party llnea
have been cast aside and even the so
called machine politicians of both the
leading parties are divided in their al
legiance. In party registrations the
Republicans lead with a total in round
numbers of almost 50,000, the Democ
racy is second wi..i a registered vote of
19.000. and the Union Labor party has
approximately 12,000 registered elect
ors. For the Mayoralty the Republicans
have put forward William Crocker, a
retired planing-mill man. The Demo
crats have named Dr. T. W. B. Leland,
who is now finishing ins third term as
City and County Coroner. P. H. Mc
Carthy, president of the State Building
Trades Council, is leading the Labor
Union forces. Dr. Leland has the In
dorsement of the Good Government
League, and P. H. McCarthy is the
nominee of the Independence League
party in addition to that of the Union
Labor party.
Francis J. Heney, who as "Deputy Dis
trict Attorney has been connected with
the prosecution of the cases which
grew out of the graft charges when
the Schmttz administration was over
turned three years ago, appears on the
ticket four times as a candidate for the
office of District Attorney. His name
appears on the tickets of the Demo
crats, the Good Government League, the
Independence League and the Heney
League.
His opponent, Charles M. Fickert, is
the nominee of the Union Labor and
Republican parties; Heney secured the
Democratic nomination by a narrow
margin after both his and Flckerfs
names had been written In by the
electors of that party. Fickert con
tested this nomination, but the recount
ordered by the court left Heney the
winner by a reduced majority. .

Rev. John W. Hill spoke on "The Duty
of the Voter." and pleaded earnestly
for patriotism at the ballot box. No
one, he said, who did not deliberately
close his eyes to existing conditions,
could deny that New. York was honey
combed with iniquity.
"At Carnegie Hali. Dr. Felix Adier
discussed "The Present Contest and the
Final Emancipation of f. York." He
decried Tammany Hall as a general
proposition, but dij not hesitate to say
that It was not Tammany per se he
objected to; it was the system that per
mitted Tammany to exist.
"You may ask why we have not
shaken oft this nightmare." r. Adier
said.
"No set of men Is to blame. It Is
the development of the community that
is to blame. The real enemy is not

SAN DIEGO REACHED IN TIME
TO AVOID TARIFF.
Eight Hundred Tons of French
Liquors Will Now Be Dispensed
at Good Profit to Dealers.
SAN DIEGO, Cal., Oct. 31. (Special.)
By chartering a fast steamer across
the Atlantic, making; a hurried haul
by special train across the Isthmus of
Tehauntepce and a quick trip up the
coast to San Diego, French liquor mer
chants succeeded in landing an im
mense cargo of wines, liquors and cor
dials on California soil before the new
reciprocity treaty went into effect to
night. . . ,
The steamer Missourian arrived from
Salina Cruz this morning with 800 tons
of French liquors. This is believed to
be the largest single shipment of that
class of foreign goods ever received on
the Pac'fic Coast. A large portion of
the consignment is for dealers In Los
Angeles and San Francisco.
Agerts at every point oh the route
were instructed to hasten the handling,
of the goods, and the movement of the
shipment was facilitated greatly. Offi
cials of the local Federal collectors
office say that had the Missourian been
delayed en route until Monday, the re
ceipts from the liquor cargo through
the new tariff act would have been two
and one-half times greater.
