Election Will Be Held in Various
States To-Morrow ? Massa?
chusetts Is Looked To as
Political Wcdthervane for
Next Year's Presidential
Contest.
Elections will be held in several
States to-morrow, but the result In
Massachusetts probably will be await?
ed with more general interest, nn tho
campaign there has the most cloarly
defined Issue. The Bay State Repub?
licans have made the tariff an issue
in an attempt to defeat the ro-olec
tlon of Governor Bugeno N. Koss.
State tickets will alsu bo elected In
Maryland, Kentucky and New Mexico,
but In none of these States has a
prominent national Issue been brought
out
New Mexico will choose Its nrst
Governor. A multitude of candidates
will give the electors of tho new
State an unusual variety to choose
from to-morrow.
California women will have a chance
to vote, except In San Francisco,
?where they were unable to register in
time for election after the passage
of tho equal suffrage amendment.

campaign of unusual apathy, the vot?
ers of New York on Tuesday will elect
members of the lower house of the

tricts
Political Interest has largely centred
in the compaign In this city for Judi?
ciary and county candidates. Opposed
to the Regular Democratic, or Tam?
many, ticket arc nominees represent?
ing a fusion of Republicans, some In?
dependent Democrats and the Inde?
pendence League, long known as the
William K. Hearst organization.
Th< one striking feature of the cam?
paign seas the airing of a senndil over
ludlciarv nominations In the Brooklyn-'
Uueens District, where tentative
charge:! have been lodged against
Democratic leader,, of conspiring to
bring nl,out the nomination of former
Congressman William Wlllott tor 1,1,2

vole is expected.

Ping-Shu Is the responsible head of

In completing his organization. He
informed the correspondent that he re?
cognized only the "republic of Nan,''
and would guarantee order. The only
disorderly elements, he sa'd. now In
China arc the former officials, sup?
porters of the Munchus. who would
never be permitted to control.
There is reason to believe that tho
revolutionary sentiment througnout tho
south strongly favor the uncondl
11 nat abdication of tho LOmperor and
the establishment of an entirely new
regime. Yuan-Shl-Kul will De repudi?
ated If he ailheres to the Manchus. 11a

he separated himself from his former
