Contests in Some of the Larger States Add
Ginger-Hard fight on Speaker Cannon
General Resume of the Situation.
By Cable to Tbe Dally Gateway.
Chicago, Oct. 30—Tne closing week
of the national campaign is developing
an interest in marked contrast with
the lethargy of the earlier weeks.
Contests on the governorship in New
York, Connecticut, Ohio, Indiana, Illi
nois, Minnesota and other states, and
the hard work of the republican na
tional committee to carry Kentucky
aud Tennessee for Taft, are important
factors in awakening interest.
In New York many of the republi
can bosses and all of the racetrack ele
ment are opposing Governor Hughes
for re-election, largely because of his
efforts in forcing the passage of the
anti-race track bill. The corporation
influences in New York City are gen
erally opposed to him, also, on account
of the exposure of their methods
through the Public Utilities Commis
sion which Governor Hughes fathered.
But Lieutenant Governor Chanler, the
democratic nomninee, has usually
stood with Hughes for these meas
urers. Betting in New York City is at
large odds against Hughes, but up
state it favors him. His supporters
claim he will more than make up in
the rural communities what he will
lose in the cities.
In Indiana the gubernatorial contest
is principally one of personalities.
James E. Watson, the republican nom
inee, is not receiving the full support
of his party. He is classed by the mal
content as a reactionary and a machine j
politician. The passage recently of a
county local option bill by a special
session of the legislature has helped
the republicans, but Watson is dis
trusted by the temperance element.
The Yates faction in Illinois, de
feated in the primaries by Governor
Deneen, are claiming a defection of
50,000 republican votes from Deneen
in favor of the democratic nominee,
former Vice-President Stevenson.
Governor Johnson of Minnesota is
making a strong and picturesqe race
for a third term election. His repub
lican opponent, Jacobson, a clean man,
is a Norwegian and will divide the
Scandinavian vote, but Johnson is con
ceded to have the best (of it from his
strong personal popularity.
Democratic dissensions and a strong
republican ticket in Tennessee give
the republicans ground for claiming
the state. Kentucky is in a similar
condition, but the democrats there
are better united.
In Missouri the temperance and anti
corporation element is dissatisfied
with Cowherd, the democratic nomi
nee. Hadley,the present attorney gen
eral, who has gained a national repu
tation through his vigorous and suc
cessful prosecution of the Standard
Oil Company and his supoort of Dem
ocratic Governor Folk, will run ahead
of his ticket. The contest for the |
United States senatorship between j
Senator Stone and Governor Folk, |
to be settled by a primary vote of
the democratic party on election
day, is the principal issue in Mis
souri. It has been characterized by
bitter personalities.
In Iowa the progressive republicans
are supporting Governor Cummins for
the senatorship. Congressman Stacy
is the candidate of the reactionary
against him. The contest is to be de
cided at a special primary on election
day. Cummins admittedly has the
lead.
The fight on speaker Cannon, led
principally by the Methodists, Baptists
and Presbyterians among the religious
denominations, because of what they
claim to be his hostile attitude to
wards temperance legislation in inter
state commerce in prohibition states
and counties, and by the labor element
under the leadership of Samuel Gom
pers, is the hardest ever made in his
district. For the first time in many
years Mr. Cannon has put in the most
of his time during the campaign
stumping his district. If he is not de
feated, his raajoritv will be greatly
reduced.
Up to three weeks ago the drift of
the labor vote all over the country was
strongly toward Bryan. Republican
leaders claim that this drift has not
only been checked,but is now decisive
ly in favor of Taft on account of the
showing he has made that the Cincin
nati decision he rendered while on the
bench is the Magna Charta of labor
unionism rather than the strained and
unfriendly construction of common law
which Mr. Gorapers and other labor
leaders claimed it to be.
The battle grounds that will decide
the presidential contest are the states
of New York, Maryland, Ohio, Indiana
Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, Iowa
and Nebraska.
PITMAN BUYS

coverer He Will Begin Devel
opment of Three Claims.
E. F. Pitman today acquired of W.L.
Redman a group of three quartz claims
