In twenty-three states governors and other state officers are to be chosen, and in twenty of them legislatures. In ten, minor state officers, or justice of the supreme court, are to be nnntcd; in two representatives in congress nnd legislatures, and in seven congressmen only. Oklahoma is to vote on a state constitution, and Arizona and New Mexico on joint statehood. Following are the states in which the chief contests take place: NEW YORK. LCADING CANDIDATES FOR GOVERNOR. Republican—Charles E. Hughes. Democrat—William R. Hsarst. Independence League—William R. Hearat. New York, Nov. 3.—The political cnmpalp'. In New York close* tonight with many nteeiloge on both aides, and prediction* of success by both the Hearat and Hughe* manager*. At beat the result Is purely a matter of guess work. Supporter* of Mr. Hughes, the Republican candidate, are confidently claiming hi* election. The same con fidence I* show by the follower* of William R. Hearst. Betting atilt fa- Tor* Hughes, but not much reliance Is to be placed in this speculative fea ture at the campaign. Briefly put, the result of neat Tuesday’s election In this state, may be said to depend upon the following questions: How will the farmer vote? What will Tammany do In New York county? Will McCarran forces bolt Hearat In Brooklyn? Has Hears: got the labor vote ns thoroughly "cinched" as his receptions In the manufacturing towns seem to Indicate ? How many Republican labor votes will Hearst get up the state? Has Hearst lost the support of the municipal ownership crowd? MASSACHUSETTS. LEADING CANDIDATES FOR GOVERNOR. Republican—Curtis M. Guild, Jr. Dsmocrstio—John B. Moran. Boaton. Mann., Nov. 3.—Unbiased on lookers believe the outcome of the 5 resent campaign In Massachusetts to e more In doubt than has been the case Ip this state In many year*. The Republican governor, Curtis M. Guild, Is opposed for re-election by the pic turesque district attorney, John B. Moran, who Is running on the triple nomination of the Democrats, Inde pendence League nnd Prohibitionists. The platform of Moron Is a radical fine, aimed chiefly against the cor- |mnations. Governor Guild, a tariff reformer, is running on a stand-pat platform. Jn Governor Guild’s favor are the state’s normal large Republi can majority nnd his own creditable record ns governor. Moran’s strength lies chiefly In his personality nnd his popularity with the labor element. His weakness Is the opposition with which he Is met by the conservatives of the Democratic party, who regard him as more of a product of Henrstlsm than of Democracy. National questions have played no part in the contest. It may fairly be said that the predominating Issues are the two candidates them selves. PENNSYLVANIA. LEADING CANDIDATES FOR GOVERNOR. Republican—Edwin 8. Stuart. Fusionist—Lewis Emery, Jr. the Republican ticket. While much attention lias been paid as usual t<> lo cal affairs, the principal light I* for the control of the next legislature, which I* to elect ft United Stutea senator.

The result of the contest to these two there I* a third candidate In the field In the person of Judge Hen B. Lindsey, famous as the Judge of the Juvenile court. . Judge Lindsey has pur sued u vigorous campaign and he Is undoubtedly a factor to he reckoned with In figuring on the result of Tues day's election. The women of Colora do will poll a larger vote than ever before and It la within the range of possibilities that their votes will de termine the result of,the contest. Chief Justice Oabbert, Republican, Is a can didate for re-election.

The Republicans appear to tie unusu ally nputhetlc. The contest Is almost without Issue. Governor John A. Johnson, Democrat, Is a candidate for re-election, and Is opposed by A. L. Cole, Republican.

LEADING CANDIDATES FOR GOVERNOR. Democratic— M. R. Patterson. Republican—Henry Clay Evans. Nashville, Tenn., Nov. 3.—Of all the Southern states Tennessee Is the only one in which the result of next. Tues day’s election appears to be at all doubtful.

Tho Rcpub- ty lines asunder in every county, the political situation In Pennsylvania on the ovo of tho election Is In the most mudalcd condition scon here since civil war days.

His kind heart and genial disposition won for him u place in the heart of all of his employees. With the death of Mr. High. -Atlanta loses one of Its pioneer department store merchants, and one of Jts most public spirited and enterprising citi zens. His death will be a distinct loss to the mercantile world. Living as he did in a community whore he built up his business within the past twenty- six years, his nutue became a house hold word and It was known to every child In Atlantu. In New* York and among the great dry goods emporiums Mr. High was well and favorably known. He was one of the largest buyers In the South nnd his trade nnd favor were much sought after by Eastern competitors. It would be almost impossible to estimate the quantity of goods bought by Mr. High from Eastern houses since he be gan business In Atlanta twenty-three years ago at 40 YY’hltehall street. Buzinoss Principles. In his transactions in tho commercral world Mr. High was a close adherent to business principles and from this course he never deviated. Being thor oughly business-like in all of Ills deal ings never made him enemies and he was well liked by all with whom ho came In contact. The customers of his store can be found all over the South. Next to Mr. High’s immediate Inter ests the interests of Atlanta were al ways next. He took a pride In Ills home city In which he made his suc cess as a merchant. Ho was Identified with every public movement for the upbuilding and betterment of Atlantu. He was n contributor to every fund for furthering the city's Interests and responded readily and liberally to ev ery subscription started. Mr. High was one of the principal promoters and founders of the North Avenue Presbyterian Church and the fUhd which resulted In the erection of one of the handsomest stone edifices In this city was begun with a subscrip tion of $1,000 made by him. The be ginning of this church nnd the uegre life In the community. He never made a public speech. Air. High was charitable, 'but little Is known of Ills charitable deeds except in a general way. It is known, however, that he has helped substantially hun dreds and hundreds of people who have applied to him at the store. Those who were closely associated with him say that hardly a day passed but what he was asked for sonio contribution toward a fund for a small church, char itable society, destitute or sick people In distress. He was ever ready to as sist worthy causes and never turned any applicant* away empty-handed. He Is said to have given away thousands of dollars of which nothing was known except himself and the recipients. His Family Circle? In his home Air. High was a kind and considerate husband nnd father. His residence at 528 Peachtree street Is hnfuiflomely furnished and Has ull the comforts and conveniences of u modern household. Ho leaves a wife and threo children—Hattie May, Eliza beth and Dorothy; two brothers, Marie High, Forrest High, of 8t. Louis, and two sisters. Mrs. Bjrney, of Madison, and Mis*. Emma High, of this city. His estate Is valued at $400,000. His life was insured for $55,000. He was thrifty nnd economical aod his accu mulations represent tho result of his own -efforts. His life is a story of ap plication and honest dealings. Great Popularity. Mr. High’s great popularity was at tested by the thousands of Inquiries us to his condition during the last few days of his life which came Into the store by telephone and by the shoppers. Every clerk In the store answered ques tions of anxious shoppers from the time the store opened until it closed. One of tho department managers is quoted us saying that he alone was asked at least GOO times by as many different people of Mr. High’s condi tion. "He was known all over the South,” said this department manager, "and had friends In nearly every town of any size. The number of people li« lias helped in a financial way couhl not lie estimated. He has given awuy thousands of dollars to people who came to the store to see him.
