.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.

Alarmed.
BAKER, Or., Oct. 28. (Special.)
Because of deaths of cattle from black
leg in Fox Valley," Grant County,
stockmen of that district are much
alarmed over what they believe is the
start of an epidemic of the disease.
Dean Alexander has lost two milch
cows, and Green Justice lost a calf
from blackleg, while David Rice lost
four and T. S. Kirkpatrick and Edward
Smith each lost one Spring calf, which
they believe had the disease.
How many cattle had become In
fected with the plague before it was
discovered is not known, but several
other caees are feared. Many ranchers
have vaccinated their large herds, and
every precaution is being taken to pre
vent its spread.
It is not known how the blackleg
got into Grant County, but the belief
is that it was taken there by other
Eastern Oregon cattle. Cattle, raising
is so extensive in Fox Valley that the
alarm is great.
