APATHY.IS GENERAL
' ' S ' - -
Nevertheless in Pacific Coast States
and New York the Fight
Is Heated.
WASHINGTON, Nov. I. In every atate
of the Lnlon, excptlnr Maine; Oregon
and Vermont, an election of une sort
will be- In progress tomorrow. In a
states full tickfts of state executive offl
tnrs and If'L'iHla tures ale to be elected,
minor executive officers In ll and legisla
tures in 2. It is an off year in politics
and the eir-clion Is Involved In much un
certainty. To the usual Influences, of an
t!T year have been added the effects of
the miners' strike and of a growing feel
ing against the- Dlngiey tarlft".
Forty-two states will vote for repre
nonta'.ivej to the Fifty-eighth Congress,
878 In all, the total membership having
bwn Increased by the reapportionment
under the twelfth census to 336. Eight
members, all Republicans, have already
been eWtcd - four from Maine and two
eiu-h from Orr.eijn and Vermont. For
Congress there are 370 Democratic nom
inees, while the Republicans have 333,
and the Prohibitionists 96 In 16 states.
The Democrats made no nominations in
New York districts and in four Phila
delphia districts, while the Republicans
put up no Congressional candidates in
Florida, Georgia, Mississippi and South
Carolina, and in only one district in
Arkansas, one In Kentucky, one In Louis
iana, three In Illinois, three In Tennes
see, five In Texas and two 4' Virginia.
Two women are among thecandidates.
They are Mrs. Mary BurkhCrt, Mie nom
inee of the Prohibitionists In the Tenth
Kentucky district, and Miss Ida Hailett,
the Socialistic candidate for Congress-at-larg
from Colorado.
A non-partisan poll of the entire coun
try leads to a belief that the Republicans
will probably be able to control the or
ganization of the House, though by a
very narrow majority. To win the con
trol the Republicans must elect 194 mem
bers. One hundred and seventy are ad
mitted as reasonably certain to go Demo
cratic, and with 15 doubtful districts, the
margin for the Republicans is conceded
uto be exceedingly qlose. A general Demo
cratic drift In the Kast, accompanied by
a heavy vote for Coler In New York, ap
proaching the 111.000 majority which
Cleveland received ten years ago, would
sneep the Republican majority In the
Ho.use away entirely, giving the Demo
crats control.
The statements of the chairmen of the
congressional campaign committees of the
two parties reflect this estimate of the
closeness of the result. Representative
Bnbcork, chairman of the Republican
congressional committee, says: "The Re
publicans will elect a majority of the next
House of Representatives, The majority
wll not be thatof the last presidential
election, tut will be somewhat. redi'cod.
I think it will be greater than the ma
jority la 1898, which was 3J."
In hia estimate of the probable result
of the election. Chairman Griggs, of the
Democratic congressional committee,
says: "I believe the next House of Rep
resentatives will be Demovratlc by a good
working majority. The country is ripe
for a revolt against Republican politics.
The whole country demands tariff re
vision and reduction, especially on trust
made and trust-controlled goods. I have
no fear that the people will register their
protest and chastise the party respon
sible for these wrongs. All of this means
a Democratic House, of Representatives."
FIGHT IS CLOSE
Lane Democrats May Defeat Pardee
Republicans in California.
(Special to the Journal.)
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. . Today will
close one of the hottest campaigns In the
history of this state. The fight involves
the Republican and Democratic ' tickets
ind ' the candidate indorsed by the
Union Labor convention. The battle be
tween Franklin K. Lane, Democratic,
and George C. Pardee, Republican, will
be a hard-fought contest Lane has
been steadily gaining on his opponent,
and is now running neck and neck with
hlra. The Republican machine is mak
ing desperate effort to stem the tide that
has -turned In favor of their ival. Lane
has ta-eupport of many o the labor
f eople, Although he was not indorsed by
hem. He was 12 years the proprietor of
the Evening News of Tacoma, and made
I stand for unionism at a time when the
anions needed a friend.
The. defeat of present Governor Gag
t the convention angered the union peo
kle. Gage was a staunch friend of labor
luring Jhe teamster's strike of two years
go and brourht about a clever solving
f that vexing question,- Pardee - wag
nominated and this enraged some of the
labor unions, especially the allied print-

This Is the first and only authentic flashlight photograr h of the Coal Strike Arbitration Commission appointed by President Roosevelt, showing the Be d la ctnal session. The Commission. Is
now diligently at work collecting evidence and gathering facts, the testimony of the tn.nere being first taken. They may be regarded a the plaintii. . case. Thougheut the Investigation
the meetings of the Comnrsslon will bs Held at Wilkesbarre, Philadelphia and New York. President Roosevelt's Instruction to the Commission urges mem to have no stone unturned to get
at the very bottom of the controversy. 1 ne whole country eagsrly awaits the report of the arbitration board. This Is the first time a board of such construction and under such circumstances
has been aDDoiated. The experiment is therefore waiched with keen interest.
Ing" tra'a'eK'lEKal Bey swore to knife Par
dee at the polls.
Alameda and - Los Angeles Counties,
with perhaps Santa, Clara, are expected
to bring up the Republican majority.
Alameda Is the banner Republican county
ot the atate, -but the Democrats say that
it win not give Pardee the usually heavy
Republican vote.
Much Interest centers in the congressional
fights in the Fourth and Fifth districts.
In the Filth. Eugene Loud, Republican,
Is pitted against William J. Wynn. Wynn
is a Democrat and received the Union
Labor Indorsement He was a conspicu
ous figure in the recent street car tie-up
here. Loud has made many enemies and
will probably be defeated in what ought
to be a strong Republican district.
Edward J. Llvernash, Democratic and
Union Labor, is fighting hard in the
Fourth against Julius Kahn, and the
contest here ia supposed to be very close.
Llvernash Is a polished speaker and a
man of strong intellectual attainments.
He has won much support by his
strength of character. Kahn has always
been a man of the people, genial and af
fable. He has made a good record In
Congress and held his strength pretty
well, notwithstanding the brilliant sallies
of his opponent. The Union Labor sup
port goes to Llvernash, as he has ever
been a champion of their cause.
In the Southern part of the state the
Democratic candidates are having a des
perate struggle. Los Angeles will carry
the Seventh district for the administra
tion ticket, but about Fresno Qaston
Ashe, the Deemocratlc candidate In the
Sixth, is directing general attention to
himself by his masterly campaign. He
stands a good chance of being elected.
The City and County of San Francisco
Wckot some county officers, Superior
Judges and Justices of the Peace will
be badly cut up. For Superior Judges
Hebard and Hunt both Republican, look
like sure winners. A heavy vote will be
polled.
HOT IN WAHTNGTON.
OLYMPIA, Wash., Nov. S. Tomorrow's
fight will be red hot one in this state.
If the Republicans were united there 'is
little doubt the victory would go to them
with ease, out their forces are divided and
as a result the Democrats hope to. win
out at least one representative to Con
gress. Wesley L. Jones is admitted to be
certain of victory and Francis W. Cush
man is' looked upon as a winner. Both
these men are Republicans. But this Is
the first time that three representatives
have been chosen at one election from
this state, . and- the . Democrats look for
the election of Frank B. Cole in the place
of Humphrey, who is a new man in state
politics. In several of the counties the
fight is three-cornered, due to the an
tagonism of the Ankeny wing of the Re
publican party to the railroad commission
policy of Gov. McBrlde, who is also a Re
publican. The complexion of the State
Legislature will determine whether a Re
publican or a Democrat will be sent to
the United States Senate. Senator Tur-"
ner, a Democrat elected in 1897, is the
retiring senator.
COLER AND ODELL.
NEW YORK, Nov. S. As the close
draws near the Odell and Coler forces
are lined tip for a hard-fought finish.
Coler forged ahead a little on the strength
of., the anti-trusty movement The New
York American claims that Odell has de
layed proceedings in the matter, of the
coal trust and that be was favorable to
the Ice trust at, the time of the effort

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 3-Eight men
were killed and a large number injured
by the collapse of a portion of ths build
ing of the' Land & Title Company, on
Hroaii street, early this afternoon. Among
those lnjurel la William Elklns, the noted
traotlon magnate. There were many per
sons in the building when the accident
occurred, but the crowd wns not-as large
fornlans, ex-fJovernor Budd and Mayor
Schmitx of San Francisco, have made a
deep impression on the laboring people.
Schmitz i received with great enthusiasm
wherever he goes. He - has talked for
Hearst and the Democratic ticket.
Former Vice-President Adlal Stevenson
Is quoted by the American as saying:
"New York will surely elect Mr. Coler.
I believe also that the Democratic Con
gressional ticket will win and the state
be strongly In the Democratic fold again.
It is all-important that the next house
be Democratic."
The control of the house Is claimed by
both parties with the odds slightly favor
ing the Republicans so far as betting Is
concerned. The Democrats throughout
are making a wonderful campaign.
BETTINQ HIGH.,
NEW YORK. Nov. 3. Betting" today
is going 2 to 1, with Odell the favorite.
IN ALABAMA.
MONTGOMERY, Ala., Nov. 3. Hereto
fore Alabama has held its state election
in August, but under the provisions of its
new consltution the first election to be
held in November is tomorrow. - A gover
nor and other state officers are to be
elected for a term of fdur yefcrs. There
are three regularly nominated statetick
ets In the field. Gov. William D. elks is
a candidate for re-election on the Demo
cratic ticket, while the Republican ticket
is headed by J. A. W. Smith, and the
Prohibitionists by W. D. Gay. The Legis-.i
lature to be chosen will be called upon to
elect a successor to United SMrtes Senator
Pettus, whose term expires next March.
The election of a full Democratic congres
sional ticket is assured, ,
ARKANSAS.

has already elected its state officers this
year and tomorrow's election Is for Con
gressmen only. The Democrats wll carry

the first time also in many years the
Democrats have a straight ticket, having
refused to fuse with the Populists, Silver
Republicans, etc. Both the Democrats
and Republicans claim the victory. The
Democratic candidate for governor is Ed
ward S. Stimson and the Republican)
James H. Peabody. The Democrats have
conducted an unusually vigorous cam
paign In the Interest of their congres
sional candidates A State Legislature,
which will elect a United States Senator
to succeed Henry M. Teller, will also be
elected. The Dt-raocrats have Indorsed
the candidacy of Senator Teller, and If
they win the fight he will succeed himself.
Several proposed constitutional amend
ments are also to be voted for, among
them being provisions for municipal home
rule and an eight-hour workday for min
ers and smelters.
NORTH DAKOTA.
BISMARCK. X. D., Nov. 3. The Indi
cations ure that the total vote In North
Dakota will not be more than 70 per
cent of the vote at the last election. Two
years ago the Republicans carried every
county In the state. On local issues the
Democrats expect to reduce - the Repabti
ran majority in the Legislature materially
and they have hopes of electing their
gubernatorial candidate, Joseph E. Cro
nan. on an ami-merger and anti-trust
"platform, making the most of Governor
White's position on the merger.
PENNSYLVANIA.
HARHISBURG. Nov. Pennsylvania
elects state officers and., one half Its
Senate and House of Representatives. The
Legislature will elect a United States
Senator to succeed Boles Penrose, Repub
lican, whose term expires riijxt March.
For the state, offices thereare five tickets
in nomination, including the Union Party,
which has accepted the Democratic nomi
nations for governor and lleutenant-gov-'
ernor. The vote of the state is appar
ently "very evenly divided. The Demo
crats, with Robert E. Pattlson as their
candidate for governor, believe they have
an excellent chance of -winning, notwith-
standing the big normals Republican ma
jority. Assisting the regular Democrats

also that much of the strength of the Pro
hibitionists will be thrown into the Pat

for 'governor Is ex-Judge Pennypacker, a
relative of Quay. In some of the state
districts the tight for CongressionaJ hon
ors is bitter. In Philadelphia the Republi
can nominees for Congress have no op
position. RHODE ISLAND.
PROVIDENCE. R. I., 'Nov. 3. Never
was the political situation in Rhode Is
land so mixed as at present. The Demo
crats have practically three platforms,
while the' Republicans have a strong ad
minstration platform. The uncertainty
comes from sgreatry tecreasied resflsf ra
tion, principally union worklngmen organ
ized as the Economic League. Nothing
but the wildest guesses can be made as to
pluralities and none of the party mem
bers are Indulging In them. The Re
publican candidate for governor is Charles
Dean Kimball, while the Democratic
ticket Is headed by Lucius F. C. Garvin.
CONNECTICUT.
HARTFORD, Conn.. No. 3. Un&rr
tnlhty mark's the slate election in Con
necticut. Complications of an Unusual
character, local rather than national, add
to the uncertainty. There are four state
tickets In the held Democratic. Repub
lican, Prohibitionist arfof Socialist. There
is apparently more harmony among the
Democrats than for a number of years
past and they believe that Melbert E.
Cary will defeat Comptroller Abram
Chamberlain for governor. The situation
as regards the congressional candidates
Is uncertain, both sides claiming the vic
tory. The Legislature to be chosen will
select a successor to United States Sen
ator Piatt.
KANSAS
TOPEKA, Kan., Nov. 3. The Demo
crats and PopullxtR have combined in
Kansas, and have made an active cam
paign, with taxation reform as the para
mount Issues. The Republicans have
made their fight on the record of the
present state administration. The gub
ernatorial candidates are William H.
Craddock, fuslonist. and Will Is J. Ballen
Republican. he Prohibitionist Socialist
and Allied People's Party each has a
ticket In the field. The Republicans
claim a victory by 80,008, based on a poll
of the state, and the Democrats and Pop
ulists claim victory by 16,000. There are
eight Representatives in Congress to be
chosen one at large and seven by dis
tricts and the present incumbents have
all been renominated.
MISSOURI
ST. LOUIS, Mo.. Nov, (.The election
In Missouri this year Involves a United
States Senator to succeed. Senator- Vest
who has announced his retirement. At
present former Governor William J.
Stone seems to be certain of the Senator
ship. The indications are that the Dem
ocrats wll return 16 Congressmen to one
Republican. . The Democrats probably
will elect their three nominees for the
supreme bench, their superintendent of
public instruction and two railroad com
missioners. Local conditions indicate
that St. Loulg will go Democratic. In
the state at large the Only question is
that of the Democ ratio majority.
- "'"MICHIGAN. -
LANSING. Mich.. Nov.' 3. Apathy has
prevailed in the Michigan campaign, and
the vote Is expected to be very light.
The Democrats sought to confine tfeir
campaign to state issues, being badly di
vided on national questions. Tbey have
some hope in the First and possibly the
Second . Congressional Districts. The
state, however, is expected to give a sub
stantial Republican majority. Governor
Bliss is a candidate for re-election on
the Republican ticket, and the Demo-

G. T. Harry( President of the State
Federation of Labor, says of the con

laboring men are particularly interested:
"I feel confident that Loud and Kahn
will be defeated by Wynn and Llver

It is a case of. dog eat dog there be
