Furnish Greatest Test, In Point or Popula tion, Is Has Ever Had. NEW YORK, Oct. 28. Eight states, Kew York, Massachusetts, Maryland, .New Jersey. Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Ohio and Mississippi, will hold elec tions on Tuesday. November 2. In four of these states. Massachu setts, Maryland, Kentucky and Missis sippi, Governors are to be elected; in pix states. New York, Massachusetts, Maryland, New Jersey, Kentucky and Mississippi, the- State Legislatures, In "whole or in part, are to be elected, and ' in- five states. New York, Massachu setts, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Ohio, important constitutional issues are to be decided. . Suffrage Pcudlngr In Three States. With a few local exceptions, in fact, these constitutional questions will be the dominant issues on election day, including as tney do such fundamental " matters as woman suffrage, municipal l.home rule, prohibition, state income . taxes, referendum plans and some les aer reform issues. The woman suffrage question will come up for decision in New York, . Pennsylvania and Massachusetts, which .-states will furnish, in point of popur lation, the greatest test the suffrage . issue has ever had in the United States. Suffrage leaders' have not been dis ' couraged by the big majority with - which the issue was defeated in New "Jersey and look forward to the bigger test with confidence. The importance of this test is indi cated by the fact that, in point of popu lation, the states of New York, Penn sylvania and Massachusetts include more than 20.000,000 a fifth of the population of the entire United States; and these 20.000,000 are practically ..double the population of the states in .'which equal suffrage has as yet been fully achieved. w York Votes on Constitution. ' In New York State a dominant fea ture will be a new state constitution. ' The features of the revised constitu tion are measures designed to give the cities of the state greater latitude in the management of municipal affairs. . to make the Governor more responsible by making the numerous executive arms of the administration more direct ly responsible to him, to reform the , judiciary so as to eliminate red tape. and, among other provisions, the short ballot and the budget system. Two separate amendments would provide for a 127.000,000 bond issue to complete the barge canal, and to permit the Leg islature to alter the rate of interest on certain state debts already incurred. The New York election calls for the choice of a full Assembly of 150 mem bers. 11 Supreme Court Justices and three Congressmen, as well as some county and city officials. Congres sional successors are to be chosen to Joseph A. Goulden. Democrat, of the Twenty-third District, and Edwin A. Merritt, Jr., and Sereno E. Payne, of the Thirty-first and Thirty-sixth, respec tively, who died while serving in the last Congress. MnMsachusetts Considers Income Tax Massachusetts will vote on the prop osition of giving the Legislature au thority to impose a tax on incomes and similar authority for the taking over of land in country districts for the purpose of establishing homesteads for those who may wish to escape from the more congested quarters of the cities. A successor to Governor David I. Walsh. Democrat, is to be elected, and the candidates, in addition to Governor "Walsh, are: Nelson B. Clark, Progres sive: Samuel W. McCall. Republican; "William Shaw. Prohibition; Walter S. Jlutchins. Socialist, and Peter O'Kourke, Socialist-Labor. A Lieutenant-Governor and various other state officials, together with 40 Senators and 240 members of the state House of Representatives, are also to be elected. Pennsylvania will have comparative ly little of general interest to its elec tion outside of the vote on the suf frage question. One representative tn Congress is to be elected to fill a va cancy in the Twenty-fourth District. In Philadelphia the Republican or ganization has conducted a vis-nrmiK campaign to regain control of the city administration. The Republican candi date for the Mayoralty this Fall is Thomas B. Smith, former postmaster. His chief opponent is George D. Por ter, -a reformer, who hm hn HiranUp power- divided the districts about evenly. All cities in Ohio will select Mayors and other municipal officers. Kentnrky to Elect State Officers. The Kentuckians will elec. a Gov ernor for a four-year term, all other state officers, one half of the State Senate and an entire Assembly. Demo crats, Republicans and Prohibitionists have . candidates for all the state of fices, with Republican and Democratic contestants for every place on the bal lot, and the Progressives are repre sented by candidates for nearly all the state offices and numerous seats in the General -Assembly. The electibn in Mississippi will be merely a ratification of the nomina tions made by the Democratic voters at" the state- primaries held last August, inasmuch! as no other party has candidates in the field. Having disposed of- the suffrage is sue at the sDecial election October 19, New Jersey has "left little of general interest for the election of Kovemoer 2. Voting will be -confined to the election of six members of the State Senate-and a full membership of 60 in the House. As will be noted, the voting is con fined entirely to. states east of the Mississippi River.
