FULL TICKETS OF EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND REPRESENTATIVES ARE TO BE ELECTED IN 21 STATES. One Hundred and Seventy Districts Are Admitted as Democratic With 15 Doubtful Districts, the Margin for the Republicans Is Conceded to Be Exceedingly Close To Win the Control the Republicans Must Elect 194 Members. Washington, D. C, Nov. 4. In every state of the Union, excepting Maine, Oregon and Vermont, an election of some sort Is in progress today. In 21 states full tickets of sfxite execu tive officers and legislatures are to be elected, minor executive officers in 11, and legislatures in two. It is an off-year in politics and the election is involved in much uncertainty. To the usual Influences of an off-year have been added the effects of the miners' strike and of a growing feel ing against the DIngley tariff. Forty-two states are voting for rep resentatives to the Fiftieth-eighth congress, 378 In all, the total member ship having been Increased by the re apportionment under the twelfth cen sus to 386. Eight members, all re publicans, have already been elected four from Maine and two each from Oregon aud Vermont. For congress there are 370 democratic nominees, while the republicans have 333, and the prohibitionists 96 in 16 states. The democrats made no nominations in two New York districts and in four Philadelphia districts, while the republicans put up no congressional candidates in Florida, Georgia, Mis sissippi and South Carolina, and in only one district In Arkansas, one In Kentucky, one in Louisiana, three in Illinois, three in Tennessee, five in Texas and two in Virginia. Two wo men are among the candidates. They are Mrs. Mary Burkhart, the nominee of the prohibitionists in the Tenth Kentucky district, and Miss Ida Haz lett, the socialist candidate for con-gress-at-large from Colorado. A non-partisan poll of the- 'entire country leads to a belief that the re publicans will probably be able to control the organization of the house, though by a very narrow majority. To win the control the republicans must elect 194 members. One hundred and seventy districts are admitted as rea sonably certain to go democratic, and with 15 doubtful districts, the margin for the republicans is conceded to be exceedingly close. A general demo cratic drift in the East, accompanied by a heavy vote for Coler in New York, approaching the 111.000 majori ty which Cleveland rceived ten years ago, would sweep the republican ma jority In the house away entirely, giv ing the democrats control. The statements of the chairman of the congressional campaign commit tees of the two parties reflect this es timate of the closeness of the result. Representative Babcock. chairman of the republican oongressional commit tee, says: "The republicans will elect a majority of the next houfe of rep resentatives. The majority will not be that of tho last presidential elec tion, but will be somewhat reduced. I think It will be greater than the ma jority in 1-698, which was 13." In his estimate of the probable re sult of today's election, Chairman Griggs, of the democratic congresslon. al committee, says: "I believe the next house of representatives will be democratic by a good working major ity. The country Is ripe for a revolt against republican policies. The whole country demands tariff revision 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 re sponsible for these wrongs. All of this means a democratic house of rep resentatives." , Alabama. Montgomery. Ala., Nov. 4. Hereto fore Alabama has held Its state elec tion in August, but under the provis ions of its new constitution, the first election to be held in November is on today. A governor and other staUs of ficers are to be elected for a term of four years. There are three regu larly nominated state tickets In the field. Governor William D. Jelks, Is a candidate for re-election on the democratic ticket, while the republi can ticket Is headed by J. A. W. Smith and the prohibitionists' by W. D. Gay. The legislature to be chosen will be called upon to elect a succes sor to United States Senator Pettus, whose term expires next March. The election of a full democratic congres sional ticket is assured. Arkansas. Little Rock. Ark.. Nov. 4. Arkan sas has already elected its state of ficers this year and today's election Is for congressmen only. The demo crats will carry every district in the state, the republicans having put up no opposition except in one district. California. San Francisco, Cal., Nov. 4. The republicans of California expect to carry their state ticket today by from 15,000 to 20,000. The fight for gover nor between Dr. George C. Pardee, republican, and Franklin K. Lane, democrat, is conceded to be very close by both parties. The republicans ex pect to elect the legislature which will choose a successor to Senator Perkins. The most interesting con gressional contents Is that In the Fifth district, where Congressman Loud, re- publican, Is likely to be defeated by Mr. Wyun, who is a trades unionist. Colorado. Denver, Col., Nov. 4. For the first time In its history Colorado is voting this year for three representatives. For the first time in many years the democrats have a straight ticket, hav ing refused to fuse with the populists, silver republicans, etc. The socialists nnr hnvo n stirilclit tlrkpt in the field. Both the democrats and republicans. claim tne victory. ine democratic candidate for governor Is Edward S. Stimson and the republican, James H. Ponliodv. Thn dnmocrats havn con ducted an unusually vigorous cam-. palgn In the interest or tneir congres sional candidates. A state legisla ture, which will elect a United States senator to succeed Henry M. Teller, will also bo elected. The democrats have indorsed the candidacy of Sena tor Teller, and if they win the fight he will succeed himself. Several pro posed constitutional amendments are also being voted for, among them be ing provisions for municipal home rule and an eight-hour workday for miners and smelters. Senator Teller is having the battle or his life today. Voting towards noon was heavy. The outcome is un certain. Connecticut. Hartford, Conn., Nov, 4, Uncer tainty marks today's state election In Connecticut. Complications of an un usual character, local rather than na tional, add to the uncertainty. There are four tickets In tho field demo cratic, republican, prohibitionist and socialist. There Is apparently more harmony among the democrats than for a number of years past, and they believe that Mclbert E. Cary will de feat Comptroller Ahram Chamberlain for governor. The situation as re gards the congressional candidates Is .nortoin imth gidea claiming tho vic tory. The legislature to be chosen will select a sucessor to United States Senator Piatt. Heavy vote: neither side claiming victory. Delaware. rvnvpr npi. Nov. 4. Today Dela ware electa minor state officers and a legislature which will bo called upon' to choose two United States senators.

Atlanta, Gn., Nov. 4. Georgia elected Its state officers last month and the balloting today is for con gressmen only.

Idaho elects a tun slate ticket today. The demo cratic ticket Is headed by Governor Frank W. Hunt. His republican op ponent Is John T. Morrison. Chnrges of malfeasance In office have been brought against the state administra tion and the cnmpnlgn has been a bit terly personnl one. The republicans appear confident of success. The con gressional contest Is between Joseph II. Hutchinson, democrat, and Bur ton L. French, republican. Boise, Nov. 4. There Is a heavy .vote throughout tho state. Results are doubtful. Probably mixed. Hunt, democratic candidate for governor, Is running ahead. Illinois. Springfield, 111., Nov. Illinois votes today for congressmen, minor stnto officers and a legislature Hint will choose a successor to Senator Mason. The campaign has been marked by general apathy. Both parties claim victory in the congressional contests, while the republicans have high hopes of electing their stnto tlckot and tho legislature. The republican state con vontlon declared In favor of CongroRS' man A. J. Hopkins for the senatorshlp and he probably will succeed Senator Mason In the event of republican sue. cess. State reports show a heavy vote, both sides claiming victory In the city of Chicago, where tho vote was early and strong. Indiana. Indianapolis, Ind,, Nov. 4. This state elects this year minor stato of ficers, congressmen and a legislature that w 1 select a successor to senu tor Fairbanks.
