' Cleveland, O., Nov. 1—The voters
ot Cleveland are to decide tomor
row whether Tom I* Johnson la to
have a fifth term as mayorl Since
the street-car peace plan went
through the issue of the campaign
has become One of Johnson and
anti-Johnson. Today even money
(a being wagered that Mayor John
son will win. .HU opponent for
mayor on the Republican ticket Is
Herman C. Baehr, .who is serving
bln third term as co-recorder.
T^e Republicans accuse Mayor
Johns&n of Insincerity and cite as
proofs of their charges his alleged
efforts to sedure control of the
street-car system, his use of the
railroad company’s funds to' furth
er his pay-as-you-enter fare box
scheme, and his refusal to consent
to a settlement ot the street-car
war until the apprlach of the cam
paign forced him to do so to save
the election.
The Democrats, on the other
hsnd, openly charge the Republi
cans with promising to turn over
to a notorious political ring the
taxation machinery of the city In
return for support of Maehr. So
far the Republican candidates and
campaign managers have not re- j
piled to these charges.
' Baltimore, Md., Nov. 1—The
pivotal Issue In the State compalgn
which closed in Maryland today is
an amendment to the constitution
disfranchising the colored voter.
More thaw usual attention from the
outside has been devoted to the con
test by reason of the fact that Pres
ident Taft, manifested his personal
Interest lh the fight by writing a
letter to the state organization say
ing thatyftery good'citizen, wheth
er he be a Democrat or Republican,
should vote against the amendment.
The contest over the amendment
Is the culmination ot a movement
begun several. years ago before
Senator Gorman died. Under bis
direction an amendment similar to
this was proposed, but It met wlth\
so muoh opposition from independ
ent democrats that It was not push
ed. Many of the most influential
Independents In the State Are out
against tbe pending amendment,
but on the other hand It appears to
have the support of a good many
Republicans In the country dis
tricts, who fear negro local rule.
