forecast of elections
THAT OCCUR IN NOVEMBER
By Sam. W. Small.
The state elections that are on this
Jear will he decided on Tuesday, Novem
ber 3. They occur, most -of them, in im
portant states whose decisions this year
may have strong bearings on the pres
idential election of next year.
Beginning in the east with Massachu
setts. we will try to indicate to our read
ers how’ the campaigns appear nt this
time in that slate, in Rhode Island, Mary
land, Ohio and lowa, and also in N--w
A ‘°rk city, where the mayoralty contest is
generally accepted as having a distinct
relation to how the state may go In the
electoral contest next year.
The activity in all the states is great
er than has been known for many tears
and the pertinent fact over ill Is the
aggressive amt "die-in-the-last-ditch"
spirit of the democrats, whether of the
eastern conservative stripe or th w .-tern
slap-dash sort.
The Massachusetts Fight.
The republicans have renoniiii.-W’d tho
Incumbent officials ami having the ad
vantage of occupancy feel an • xpre.-sed
confidence that they will win agai.i. Ilin
democrats have put ti > Gaston again for
governor on the strength of the great
gain he registered for the party last year,
and attacjjpd Ri-hard Olney, second, for
lieutenant governor. T'h< democrats
show a «oli<j front and ar.’ enthusias
tic. The republicans are confident, ix
cept on tariff revision is.” .os The? r-il-
Ize that the stress upon eastern ts.-tories
and labor for fre° raw mat’rials so
strong as to threaten serious dm< ‘ions
to the democratic ticket. They also f.-ar
a.n increase of the socialist vote.
There are shrewd observers who de
clare that thij is to be “an shoe Russell
year” and that the republicans have a
surprise coming to tin m equal to that
when old Ben Butler beat th* m over tho
ropes. If that happens Massachusetts is
likely to figure strongly in demo, ratio
politics next year.
In Little Rhody.
Last year th- democrats -I - ted Dr.
Garvin governor by a. plurality of 7,733
votes. Tiie republicans <i< fed all others
on the state ticket That was the first
<l< mocratic state victory since 1893. Gov
ernor Garvin is In oast Tennesseean, but
has lived in Rhode Island many- years.
He i.« tho nominee again this year and
is opposed by (’alone! Samuel Pomeroy
Colt, the head of t'.ie rubber trust and
director in many other trade combines.
The presfent outlook is tha- Govern-a
Garvin will lie reG. ,-tod by an increased
majority and that, may also carry in
other executive offl ers But the result,
if c n it be. will gn • del ght to demo
crats .-u_ indicating ti-u :• ■ • p0p..!.,>• vote
of Little Rhody has turn-d i- the demo
cracy and her three votes tn the electoral
college next time may be looked for in
its column.
'‘Maryland, My Maryland.”
Here we find a tug of war. Senator
Gorman is charged with the democratic
plan of campaign and the proof of it
turns on the issue ot white supremacy
in the state government. There are only
•10.000 negro voters in til. state, but they
are the votes absolutely n« -e.-stiry to re
publican success. Th* republicans say
it is silly for the democrats to alarm
tne people with cries of "negro dotnina
t on." but the democrats reply that a
: egro balance of power is ax dangerous
to Caucasian civilization and good gov
ernment .s would be a negro majority
< let-ting a negro officiary.
Tim election of a. senator is involved
and adds large ; ers.u.al intluene. to the
democratic side of the tight, while the
uroti.'ible candidacy of Senator Gorman
f t the democratic presidential nomina
lism gives the campaign a national in
r-st The election b.-r - rs book rhe
democrats as sure winners.
Out in Ohio.
Tom Johnson for the demo, rats and
.Miron T. Herrick for Hie republicans
are heading the circus campaigns now '
pervading the state. Both are million- '

Uoth sides are hustling. Tiie farmer
vote will decide the contest. If they are
held by S»*eretarie Shaw and Wilson,
and Senator Allison, the republican- will
win. But there are many signs that the
rcjmblican vote will be shy by thous
ands enough to hold out a lamp of hope
to the democrats in the larger tight <‘f
1904.

For the republicans Mayor Seth Low
lands for reelection. Two years .-’go
i.< was regarded as a genuim fusion,
non-partisan candidate and was ek cttil
by dvmoeratic votes.
But the ma<i|U< rade is over, and, al
lhough Mr. Low is again wearing ids
skcepskin. the wolf-ears of his republi
canism arc now perfectly visible and
thousands of democrats who in 1901
th night him a non-partisan refornicr
are now deserting his standard.
