NEW YORK
LEADING CANDIDATES
FOR GOVERNOR.
Republican—Chariot E. Hughes.
Democrat—William R. Hearst.
Independence League—William R.
Hearst.
New York, Nov. 3.—The political
fampalgt In New York closes tonight
with many nveetlngs on both sides, and
predictions 6t success by both the
Hearst and Hughes managers. At best
the result Is purely a matter of guess
work. Supporters of Mr. Hughes, the
Republican candidate, are confidently
claiming his election. The same con
fidence Is show by the followers of
William n. Hearst. Vetting still fa
vors Hughes, but not much reliance Is
to be placed in this speculative fea
ture of the campaign. Briefly put, the
result of naxt 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
f county?
Will McCarren forces bolt Hearst in
Brooklyn ?
Has Hearst got the labor vote as
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.
Damocratie—John B. Moran.
Boston. Mass.. Nov. 3.—Unbiased on
lookers believe the outcome of the
present campaign In Massachusetts to
be more In doubt than has been the
casedn this state In many years. 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 and Prohibitionists.
The platform of Moran Is a radical
one, aimed chiefly against the cor
porations. Governor Guild, u tariff
reformer. Is running on a stand-put
platform. In Governor Guild's favor
are the state's normal large Republi
can majority and his own creditable
record as governor. Moran’s strength
lies chiefly In his personality and 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 us
more of a product of Hearstism than of
Democracy. National questions have
played no part In the contest. It may
fairly be said that the predominating
Issues ure the two candidates them
selves.
PENNSYLVANIA.
LEADING CANDIDATES
FOR GOVERNOR.
Republican—Edwin 8. Stuart.
Futioniat—Lewis Emery, Jr.
Philadelphia. Pn.. Nov. 3.—With par
ty lines asunder in every county, the
political situation In Pennsylvania on
the eve of the election Is .In the most
muddled condition . seen hero since
civil war days. Scandals appear to be
the chief issue of the campaign. The
Democrats and the Lincoln Republi
cans, which last nurned party was
given birth by the political reform
movement that upset Philadelphia a
year ago, have fused in an effort to
rid the state of the so-called Republi
can machine. The Fusion candidate Is
lanvis Emery, Jr. The ticket of the
regular Republicans is headed by Ed-
wfn 8. Stuart, Charge* and counter
charges of graft and corruption have
been the chief feature of the bam-
paign. Charges of colossal graft In
connection with the building of the
new state capitoL have been sprung
on the Republicans. On the other
hand, Kmery, the Fusion candidate, bus
been embarrassed by his connection
with the Pure oil Company. The Fu-
slonlsts have made u hard fight and
the victory of their forces at the polls
next Tuesday would not greatly sur
prise those best acquainted with the
situation.
KANSAS.
LEADING CANDIDATES
FOR GOVERNOR.
Republican—Edward W. Hoch.
Democratic—William A. Harris.
Topeka, Kans., Nov. 3.—The Kansas
campaign closed today with the chances
apparently favoring Republican suc
cess. Kdward W. Iloch, the present
Republican governor, is a candidate for
re-election, tils opponent on the IVm-
ocratic picket Is ex-8enntor William A.
Harris. The Democrats have brought
numerous charges against Hoch, of
sympathy with corporation* and of be
ing under railroad influence. The chief
objection to Harris appears to be that
he is virtually it non-resident of the
state, his home and business Interests
having been in Chicago for some time.
IOWA.
LEADING CANDIDATES
FOR GOVERNOR.
Republican—Albert B. Cummins.
Democratic—Claude R. Porter.
Des Moines, Iowa, Nov. 3.—Governor

COLORADO.
LEADING CANDIDATES
FOR GOVERNOR.
Republican—Henry A. Buchtol.
Democratic—Alva Adame.
Independent—Ben B. Lindsey.
Denver, Colo., Nov. 3.—The present
campaign in Colorado is one of the
most picturesque waged anywhere In
the country this year. Corporation
domination and other Issues are to the
fore. The Democratic candidate for
governor Is Alva Adams, who has held
the seat before. The Republican candi
date Is Henry A. Buchtel, chancellor of
the University of Denver. In addition
to these two there Is a third candidate
In the field In tho person of Judge Ben
B. Lindsey, famous as the judge of the
juvenile court. Jfldge Lindsey ha* pur
sued a vigorous campaign and he Is
undoubtedly a factor to be 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 is within the range of
possibilities that their votes will de
termine the result of the contest. Chief
Justice Gabbert, Republican, Is a can
didate for re-election. He has been
charged with being under corporation
Influence, and his presence on the tick
et Is believed to weaken the chances
of Republican success.
MINNESOTA.
LEADING CANDIDATES
FOR GOVERNOR
Democratic—John A. Johnson.
Republican—A. L. Col*.
Minneapolis, Minn., Nov. 3.—The
campaign In Minnesota has not arous
ed any vast amount ^of enthusiasm.
The Republicans appear to he unusu
ally apathetic. 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. Governor Johnson
enjoys wide personal popularity and
his re-election would cause no great
umount of surprise. The Republicans
probably will All the minor state of

up to the time ho was taken ill. His
kind heart und genial disposition won
for him a place In the heart of all of
his employees.
With the deuth of Mr. High. Atlanta
loses one of Us pioneer department
store merchants, and one of Its most
public spirited and enterprising citi
zens. Ills death will be a distinct loss
to the mercantile world. Living as he
did in a community where he built up
bis business within the past twenty-
six years, his name became a house
hold word and It was known to everyt
child In Atlanta.
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 and
his trade and 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

years ago at 40 Whitehall street.
Business Principles.
In his transactions In the commercial
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 his deal
ings never made him enemies and he
was well liked by all with ‘whom he
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 his
home city In which he made' his suc
cess as a merchant. He was identified
with every public movement for the
upbuilding and betterment of Atlanta.
He waft a contributor to every fund
for furthering the c|ty’s Interests and
responded readily and liberally to ev
ery subscription started.
Mr. High was one of the principal
iVoinoters and founders of the North
Avenue Presbyterian Church und the*
fund which resulted In the erection of
one of the handsomest stone edifices In
this city was begun with a subscrip
tion of Sl.ooo made by him. The be
ginning of this* church and the segre
gation of Its congregation from that of
the First Presbyterian Church on Mari
etta street grew out of a conversation
between Mr. High and Walker Inman. ,
The matter was discussed among their |
friends and Influential Presbyterians ! °*
popular
life in the community. He never made
u public speech.
.Mr. High was charitable, but little
Is known of his charitable deeds except
in a general way. It Is known, however
that ho his helped substantially hun
dreds and hundVeds of people who have
applied to him at the store. Those
who were closely associated with him
say that hardly u day passed but what
he waa asked for some 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 cuuses and never turned
any applicants away empty-handed. Ho
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 Mr. High was a kind
and considerate husband and father.
His residence at 528 Peachtree street
Is handsomely furnished and has all
the comforts and conveniences of a
modern household. He leaves a wife
and three children—-Hattlo May, Eliza
beth and Dorothy; two brothers, Mark
High, Forrest High, of St. Louis, and
two sisters, Mrs. Birney, of Madison,
and Mis?. Emma High, of this city.
His estate Is valued at $400,000. Hi*
life was Insured for $55,000. He was
thrifty and economical and his accu
mulations represent the result of hi*
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 tho
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 the department managers 1*
quoted as saying that he alono was
asked at least 500 times by as many
different people of Mr. High’s condi
