State Contests
Washington, D. C, Oct. 21 TUoro
will bo elections In eight States and
in a number of the leading cities of
tho country two wo oka from next
Tuesday. In Massachusetts, Ken
tucky, Maryland, Rhodo iBland, Mis
sissippi and New Mexico a governor
nnd other State ofllcers are to ho chos
en; In New Jersey and Virginia, a leg
islature only; in Now York, several
members of tho Stato judiciary, and In
Nebraska a supremo judge, regent of
tho Stato university and railroad com
missioner. In Pennsylvania, Ohto,
Utah and California, municipal ofll
cers aro to bo selected, while in
Ney York county a number of judges
aud a ohorlff aro to bo voted for.
Practically all of tho contests, Stato
and municipal, aro on local issues,
with no national questions involved.
Affording an exception to tho rule,
however, will bo the special elections
in several congressional districts
whore- elections will bo hold are the
Fourteenth Pennsylvania tho Seventh
Kansas tho Third Nebraska tho First
Now Jersey and the Tenth Tennessee.
Tho chiof Interest of national poli
ticians in the Stato elections is direct
ed toward Massachusetts and Rhode
Island. Both aro Industrial States
and are directly concerned In tho tar
iff which has been brought forward as
a "prominent issuo in the campaign
Governor Foss is a candidate for re
election as governor of Massachusetts
on tho Democratic ticket. l,ouis A.
Frothlngham at present lieutenant
governor, is tho Republican choico
for governor.1 While Republican lead
ers appear confident they will carry
tho State tills year, many observers
feel moro than doubtful about the
prospoct, and would not bo at all sur
prised at tho ro-olcctlon of Governor
Foss. For the first time since the
Republicans began tholr long lease of
power In the Bay State, now moro
than fifty years ago, tholr control of
tho legislature is seriously chal
lenged this year..
A condition of uncertainty about
the result in Rhodo Island is also re
ported, In view of tho fact that last
year Governor Pothler, Republican,
had but a small margin of victory
over Lewis A. Watermap, the Dem-J
ocratic candidate for governor. This
year tho same 'candidates head the
tickets, and under tho circumstances
tho Democrats naturally have hopes
that they will be victorious.
In Kentucky, whllo tho Republicans
aro putting up a rather stiff fight, tho
Democracy is generally expected to
win. The latter has an able and well
known candldato for governor in tho
porson of Jamos B. McCreary, former
governor and United States senator.
Tho Republican ticket Is bonded by
Judge Edward C. O'Rear. The legis
lature to be elocted in Kentucky will
chooso a United States senatoi to
aucccod Thomas H. Payntor. Tho elec
tion of Congressman Olllo M. James
to the sonatorship Is a forgone conclu
sion. In Maryland thoro Is a straight con
test between tho Domocrats and Re
publicans, with tho last named enjoy
ing a slight advantage in tho race
by reason of the discussion in tho
Dcmocratio ranks. The Democratic
candidate for governor Is Arthur P.
Corman, son of the late United States
senator. Opposing him on tho Re
publican ticket Is Philip Lee Golds-
liorougu, a woll known citizen of Bal
timore Thoro la only one ticket The Dem
ocratic! in Mississippi, and tho re
sult, of course, is not doubtful. Tbo
noxt governor of that Corunionwcllth
will bo Earl M. Brewer, a prominent
lawyc of Clarksdalo.
In Nebraska, though tho ofllcers to
bo choson aro of relatively small im
portance, a spirited campaign has
boon carried on with an eye to fu
ture results. The legislature to bo
chosen In Virginia will have tho elec
tion of two United Statos sonators,
but tho choico ot those has already
ELECTION
been determined in the primary. Now
Mexico wil'Niuld her first stato elec
tion for congressmen, governor and
oilier Slate olllcers, Judiciary and leg
islature, nnd county olllcers. National
politicians aro Interested in the result
becnuso it will Increase the nuiiiornl
strength of one of the other of tho two
parties In congress, The slstor State
Arizona has decided to defer tho hold
ing of her first election until Decem
ber. In Now York county tho Republi
cans have fused with the Independ
ence League, tho Citizens' Union nnd
other so-called independent organiza
tions Qn tho county tickot, which Is
made up ot a number of court jus
tices and a shorlff. Tho contest for
members of tho general assembly also
is receiving much attontion because
tho Republicans are sparing no efforts
to win this branch of tbo Stato legis
lature, which last year went Demo
cratic for tlie first time in many
years.
In point of inlorest several of the
municipal campaigns far exceed that
of tho State" contests. Pittsburg nnd
Philadelphia, Cleveland, Cincinnati
and Toledo, Salt Lake City and San
Francisco all are the scenes of hard
lights for control of the municipal
oirices, Jn practically all of these mun
icipal contests tho refoim question is
a dominant issue.
To tho country as a whole these
elections, both State and municipal,
will bo ot interest chiefly ns they will
sorvo to indicate tho drift of popular
opinion concerning tho parties. Per
haps they will leave tho outlook no
clearer than it is at present, but If
for any reason one party should show
decided gains in the voting, tho fact
will bo classified as an indicator ot
wliat may happen next year.

SUCCESS
FOX HUNT
Held At Brink Haven Was A
Big Success
The Next Meet Will Occur
In Mt. Vernon
Local Men Elected Officers
Of The Association
Bogs Show Up Well In The
Big Meet
A Race Was An Amusing
Feature Of The Bay
Brink Haven, 0 Oct. 21. The an
nual meeting of tho Central Ohio
Sportsmen's association which was
held Thursday In Brink Haven, was
one of the most successful over hold
by that organization and was thor
oughly enjoyed by tho many hunters
from all over the stato who were In at
tendance. The program was arranged and pre
sided over directly by President Wil
liam Heaton of Brink Haven. Every
thing was arranged for the comfort
of visiting members, ah of whom feel
amply rewarded for their trip to tho
meeting.
The business of the session was the
first event on tho program for Thursday.-
It was decided to hold the next
annual meeting at Mt. Vernon at about
tho same time of tho year. Because
of tho fact that tho next meeting will
bo bold at that place most of the im
portant offices were filled with Mti
Vernon men who were in attendance.
Coombs of that city was elected pres
ident for the coming year whllo an
other well known Mt. Vornon man waa
elected secretary. Tho office of vice
president will bo filled by Hahn of
Millwood, O.
A largo number of dogs wore ex
hibited at tho meet and between 250
and 260 of the hounds took part in
tho various races which wore a fea
ture of the afternoon and evening. W.
S; Ferguson of Ralnesboro, was'choBen
as juuge and his duties were per
formed in a manner which was most
satisfactory to all those present. All
of tho classes in each race were well
filled, aud each and overy one was a
comploto success.
Tho races in which tho dogs were
shown werd the big features of the
day. Hounds owned by John Ricketts
and Wm. Davis, of this city, showed
up woll In thoso events. All of .the
races woro exciting and the excite
ment ran high In all of tho evonts.
Tho "drag race" was run on tho
Main street of Brink Haven. In tho
neighborhood of 50 dogs participated
In this event. A live fox was dragged
along tho street and later tho dogs
wore loosed. The hounds mado great
timo along the thoroughfare and cov
ered tho course which endod at tho
hotel In groat style.
Ono of tho most amusing features
of tho day was the cLaso which was
pufied off on a privato racing track at
Brink Haven. A race horso and sulky
were brought out on the track and a
bag of anise seed was trailed behind
the sulky. After tho horso had boen
given a good start, tho hounds were
loosed and a great chase ensued. Tho
race wad finally won by the hounds.
Tho bonch show was another of the
features and several prizes woro
awarded tbo different dogB which wero
ontcred by local parties.
Following a hearty supper the hunt
ers divided Into various smaller par
ties and started out for a real fox hunt.
Each of tho parties were fortunate
enough to get a "chaso" after a short
time aud tho hills woro mado to re
sound tho baying of the hounds on
tho trails.
All of the visitors commented on tho
unusual facilities for hunting in tho
vicinity of Brink Haven. This Is eas
ily accounted for by tho fact that near
ly all of tho residents are hunters and
know how to protect tho game at
certain seasons of the year and In this
manner tho huntors may havo their
hunts at almost-any timo they so do
slro. -

RIPE
Strawberries Picked
Middle Of October
in
Fall strawberries aro a luxury that
few people enjoy In this section of tho
country. Tho fact that such things
exist Is questioned by many people
who have not seen them but a second
crop was really grown by Mr. George
Watson of near Jolloway. While visit
ltlng her father, Mr. D. M. Tllton of
that placo a few days ago, Mrs. Joseph
McManls of South" Jackson street
picked several quarts of v tho berries
and brought them home to conlrnco
her incredulous friends.
What's tho use of going to Cali
fornia to spend tho winter when wo
can pick ripe strawberries in Ohio in
the middle of October.?

LARGE FLOCK
Of Sheep Passes Through
Mt, Vernon Saturday
Being Transferred From Bel
mont To Wyandotte County
An unusual sight was witnessed by
residents of Mt. Vernon on Saturday
morning at about 'J o'clock when a
Hock of 1G50 sheep una driven through
the, city by five men and thiee uirls
en-route from Belmont county to Wy
andotte count'. The streets, through
which- they were driven, ueto com
pletely filled from curb to cm o, the
procession extending for a distance
or over three blocks.
A member or the party, on being
questioned, stated that they had been
on th march for a period of two
Wjeeks and that it would be about
that much longer before their destin
ation was reached. The sheep aro
being Urlven on foot because of the
poor facilities for shipping between
the points of transfer and secondly
because, uccordlng to their statement,
thoso in charge of the tlock derive a
great deal of pleasure from the rather
unusual work.
The belongings of the party are be
ing carried In a large covered wagon
drawn by a team of oxen which are
managed and driven by the ladles.
Tho 'Bight presented by the sheep
and those In charge reminds one of
a typical western scene.
