2 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- ' aires. Johnson is one who says he got his millions because of the privileges | ;h republicans legis;at< i into Ks hands and now he i* spending them to teach tiie 1 people the folly of supporting in power I t: party of partiality an"! -i n.
