ELECTION FORECAST OF EASTERN STATES VEXESJOLITICIANS New Jersey's Vote of Special Interest to President Wilson.

SITUATION IS COMPLEX Result Expected to Influence Future of G. 0. P. and New Party. TRENTON. New Jersey, Nov. 1. Activities that have reached into all corners of New Jersey came to a head here today at the State headquarters of the three leading political parties. So far as the chairmen of the Democratic, Republican and Progressive parties are concerned, the State campaign ended today. There remains to be carried out tomorrow, Monday and Tuesday, the detailed plans for "getting out the vote" and preventing fraud at tbo polls, but these matters are, in nearly all cases, re posing in the hands of the district and local managers. Three candidates are battling for the governorship. The Democrats nominated James F. Fielder, who became acting governor when Wodrow Wilson entered the White House; the Republicans put up Edward O. Stokes, a former governor, and the Progressives nominated Everett Colby, a former State senator and long a prominent figure in New Jersey politics. While State isues have not been Ignored, the national administration has in reality been the chief issue of the campaign. Mr. Fielder is asking for support on the ground that he represents the "Woodrow Wilson idea in politics." Stokes was a Roosevelt delegate to the national convention last year, but after the organization of the Progressive party, he went back to the Republicans and, it is understood voted for Mr. Taft. Colby left the Republican party after the nomination of Taft last year, and has been prominent in the counsels of the Progressive party ever since. BATTLE IN MASSACHUSETTS. Jmposible to Make Correct Forecast of Election Result. BOSTON, Mass., Nov. 1. A large question mark symbolizes the political situation in Massachusetts at the close of the annual state campaign today, and the answer of the voters to the inquiry who will be governor, which is to be decided at the election Tuesday, is awaited with an interest surpassing that felt in the Old Bay State in" a long time. The six parties have candidates for all state offices, but the Democratic and Republican are the only ones that have candidates in all the senate and representative districts. In some of the representative districts the Progressives have indorsed the Democratic candidates. The independent candidacy of Governor Foss, who filed his nomination papers only an hour before the legal time limit expired, complicated the situation to such an extent as to render all forecasts of the election results little better than guesswork. Foss Shows Strength. With the Republican party split, Walsh and the Democratic ticket were generally picked as easy winners before Foss got into the race. But it is difficult for disinterested observers to escape the conclusion that a man who has been three times elected governor by. the Democratic party and who runs as an independent because he had a falling out with the party machine, among other reasons, will not draw a large number of Democratic votes away from the regular nominee of that party. It is considered likely, moreover, that many business men irresppective of party, will vote for Foss because of his challenge by word and deed to organized labor. The possibility of Foss cutting into the Democratic vote has given courage to Gardner and Bird, the Republican and Progressive candidates, respectively. The campaign has been conducted almost wholly on state issues. At the same time the election is of national interest, chiefly because the future of the Republican and Progressive parties must be tremendously affected by the results. BITTER WAR IN NEW YORK. Campaign Filled with Enough Sensations to Stagger Voters. NEW YORK, Nov. 1. Amid the blase of oratorical pyrotechnics and political rallies, one of the bitterest and at the same time one of the most important campaigns in the history of New York City tonight reaches Its climax. The candidates and other speakers will continue on the stump almost until the opening of the olls next Tuesday, but for all practical purposes the campaign may be said to close ---ith tonight's big rallies in everv section of the city. What will be the story told by the ballots next Tuesday? The usual expresions of confidence, of course, are pmei.ating from the headquarters of the various candidates and parties, but as a matter of fact, the situation today is such as to render all guess'.ng on the results absolutely futile nd worthless. There never has been a campaign ike it; there never has been a situa;ion that could approach it for complexity and uncertainty. And thre never has been a campaign that could exceed it in genuine bitterness and vituperation. In its broader aspects the contest does not differ from other mayoralty Sghts that have taken place in New

DISORDERLY CONDUCT CAUSES SUSPENSION

Patrolman Alleged to Have Insulted Woman in North End Saloon. THREATS OF LYNCHING Arrival of Additional Officers Prevents Mob From Injuring Man. Angry because Patrolman Benjamin F. Harper, in citizen's clothes, tried to lift her mask and learn the identity of a woman in Harry Minck's saloon on D street last night, a mob of about seventy-five colored people, who had been attending a dance nearby, gathered around Harper, threatening to lynch him. Minck ordered the crowd from his place of business. Outside the crowd was only prevented from handling the patrolman roughly by the arrival of officers from police headquarters. No one in the crowd knew Harper, who refused to reveal his identity or what authority he had. As soon as Edgar Iliff heard of the trouble he suspended Harper and relieved him from duty until his case can be heard by the police commissioners. The hearing was set for Monday night. Harper's Second Offense. Mr. Iliff said as this is the second time Harper has acted in a manner unbecoming an officer, while on duty, he would be released from the police department if the charges are substantiated. During the Carnival at Eaton, Ohio, last summer, Harper was arrested for disorderly conduct, on the streets of that city. The nature of his offense was not made known to the public. The authorities of Eaton tried to 1 smother the affair and refused to give out the circumstances of the trouble, although it was reported that the Richmond officer was intoxicated. No action was taken by the police commissioners at that time. As Harper's conduct, had been good previously, he was allowed to plead guilty and pay his fine before the mayor of Eaton. Must Be Gentlemen. ''Patrolmen are expected to behave like gentlemen," said President Iliff. "If they cannot act like gentlemen, they are not wanted on the police force of Richmond." The conduct of the officers, he said made an example for other people, and the commissioners' would insist on good behavior. Harper, who was on duty in citizens clothing, entered the Minck saloon, and insisted on knowing who one of the masked women was. She refused to reveal her identity and Harper attempted to remove the mask. Conceals Identity. She asked what authority he had, but witnesses say, he did not tell her he was an officer. Minck ordered them to go outside to settle their quarrel, Harper still insisting on removing the mask. The crowd surrounded Harper, threatening to lynch him if he did not stop annoying the woman. Witnesses say Harper still did not tell who he was or what authority he had. al- ! though the mob was on the point of taking his life.

Hungry, penniless, bowed down with age and footsore, John Green, 71 years old. was arrested here last night only a few miles from the place of his birth, for burglary and larceny. Worn out with his struggles, sick at heart with the emptiness of life for one who lias neithehr home nor friends. Green was on his way back to his old home in Greensfork, for just one more (glimpse of the scenes of his boyhood ! before turning away from them for ever. For eighteen hours he had gone without food. At the places where he stopped to beg for a hand out, his unkempt appearance was against him and prevented any one from listening to his hard luck story. Hunger Compels Theft.

Two Young Bloods Take Out Men Masked as Women For Joy Ride

Proving "All that glitters is not I gold" this little incident which had its inception last night at Main and Ninth streets, is told for the benefit of the younger bloods of the city who have always been willing to "take a chance." Million-Dollar Dolls. Frilled, fussed, perfumed, beaded and braceleted, with high heeled shoes and hosiery worn only by the elite, two young men took their places 1 in the gay parade last night on Main street. The way they hoisted the embroidery when they crossed the streets, was positively alluring. A young attorney and a youthful business man, with pockets filled with "chicken" feed, sniffed the air like a bull moose at the approach of danger.

Straw Ballots Point to Robbing Success

Robbins showed a good gain in the straw ballots tabulated today in the Palladium straw ballot contest, which closes today. There have been a total of 1,454 votes, nearly one-fourth of the total vote, it has been estimated, that will be cast at the polls Tuesday, and it clearly indicates Robbins' election. The vote:

GROTESQUE FIGURES STALK CITY STREETS

Richmond's Young and Old Mingle With Spirit of Madri Gras Crowd. FEW ARRESTS MADE; Fence Removed on North; Eighth Street and Logs Placed on Tracks. Sheeted ghosts stalked the streets of the city last night. Contents of ransacked wardrobes and attics were paraded fantastically up and down Main street. Hiding behind masques, black, red. bewhiskered. with long noses, short noses, pug noses, Richmond's young and old forgot to be dignified, mingling together with the good spirit of a Mardi Gras crowd. Never before' did so many people sanely celebrate the eve of Allhallow's day by masking. For two hours and a half hundreds thronged the streets indulging in wholesome fun. Variety of Costumes. The number of costumes varied only with the number of persons wearing them. Tall and stately with arras l folded across his chest, n ghost stood motionless at Ninth and Main streets. Other ghosts, after long confinement in graves which yawned wide and empty, flitted among the other merrymakers, lifting masks, pinching the arms of mere mortals, and tickling coy Quaker maidens under the chin. Plump young "men" mingled with others more rugged and masculine. Small shoes peeped from under the trousers, the steps were short and pockets, and owners kept thrusting them into the side pockets of the coats. Occasionally a etray wisp of hair floated from under the caps and hats, which were fastened with hairpins. And masks tilted upward by dodging youngsters revealed beardless faces Drink Through Straws. Two well-dressed persons strolled into a down-town saloon and called for Halloween spirit;. The barkeeper accommodated them, even to their request for straws. They refused to remove their masks, sipping their drinks through straws. The make-up was good, except that men do not draw the hair from the back of their necks up under their hats. Slim friends wheeled their more obese companions through the streets in wheelbarrows. An overgrown boy wandered the streets winding his top and starting in a bewildered manner at the persons who roughly jostled his elbow. A crowd of fiVe young men walked ast leaving behind a wheezing, sneez1 ing, coughing crowd, hardly knowing whether to be angry or amused Arrest by Fake Cop. A young fellow, in a policeman's garb, grabbed a lively, wriggling boy by the shoulder and started toward police headquarters. The boy's howls of fright called around tbem a number of grotesque figures, who followed the ! procession jeering until the fake po liceman released his prisoner, who dodged away through the crowd. "I was amused at the pranks young people played on the streets last night and enjoyed watching them walking around in their funny costumes, ".said Superintendent of Police Gormon today.

CITIZEN'S DUTY TO VISIT POLLS

Every man who values his citizenship will cast his ballot nest Tuesday, however much time and trouble it may take. A man is not faithful to his city who does not vote. The franchise is not a privilege, it is a duty. The man who neglects it betrays free government. The indifference of the citizen is the opportunity of the grafter and the political boss. Busy factories, good schools, owned homos, low death rate, and reasonable tax rate bespeak the healthy and prosperous community; but a high vote percentage bespeaks it most of all. Where every man votes a town is alive. Each citizen shoulders his responsibility. Where the ballot is neglected, citizenship languishes, grafters nourish and political buccaneers control the town. You don't need to register. Hunt up your voting booth and cast your ballot. It's the highest privilege you possess. Do it Tuesday. You owe it to Richmond. ONE MAN KILLED AS STRIKE RESULT Indianapolis Traction Employes Walk Out When Demands Are Eefused. HAS NO EFFECT HERE Supt. Gordon and Local Employes Say Conditions Here Remain Same. That there is no probability of motormen and conductors on the city lines or on the Terre Haute, Indianapolis & Eastern traction line between Richmond and Indianapolis striking in sympathy with the striking street car employes in Indianapolis, is the statement made by local employes and by Superintendent Gordon. Iocal employes say they are not members of the striking union and are ont in sympathy with it and will not strike. Conductors and motormen on interurbans running between Richmond and Indianapolis said that, the situation looks serious in Indianapolis, although four carloads of strike breakers started from Chicago this morning. They are of the opinion that service between here and the onpital city will be maintained on regular schedule. "All cars have ben running on schedule today," said Superintendent Gordon. He said he does not expect any trouble here. He believed the service in Indianapolis was crippled, not because so many were striking, but because many who had no intention of joining the union were afraid to work for fear of violence on the part of the strikers. ONE MAN KILLED. INDIANAPOLIS. Nov. 1. One man was killed and six others injured here early today as the result of street fighting which followed the walkout of street car motormen and conductors on city lines, which became effective at midnight. There were disturbances in many sections of the city and the entire police force was kept on duty until after midnight. Halloween celebrators joined in the disturbances. Fifty arrests were made up to noon today. One auto patrol wagon carrying an injured man to a hospital ran down and killed a negro. Several street cars were ( wrecked. The board of safety at a special meeting this forenoon authorized the employment of 2aU additional policemen. Governor Ralston said: "I am governor. I know my duty." President Todd, of the Street Car company, after refusing to be quoted, said that with ample police protection

and North A all cars could be in operation by evenThe far-famed ' ing. He added that most of the strik-

ers were merely laying off for fear of violence. Labor leaders say that 700 men are out. Interurban traffic was greatly affected. The city men s demand for 32 cents pathizers, and tne non-union crews were taken off, trolley ropes were cut in many places. A heavy current wire was cut in congested Washington of Battery A.

ALL CITY CHAIRMEN SEE VICTORY FOR THEIRJANDIDATES R i n g h o f f Claims Three Wards Sure For Democratic Nominee.

I LIFF OPTIMISTIC Holds National Election Figures No Hasis for City Forecast. Both Democratic City Chairman. Frank Ringhoff. and Republican c'.tj Chairman. Edgar Iliff issued statements frnlay on ttu outcome of the city election next Tuesday. Kacb claims a victory for his ticket. Ringhoff states that Farwig. the IVniocratic mayoralty nominee-, will carry - 1 three wards by substantial pluralities ' 1 . ; i i . - , . . . 1 ai rnt'nc a oig vote in tne oiner five wards. Republican Chairman Iliff contents himself with the optimistic opinion that "Mayor Zimmerman's good work for all the people will be indorsed." He also states that he is making no guess on the result of the election for that Is as unsatisfactory as tring to guess where a good fishing hole is. The big majority of Democrats in Richmond are going to support their ticket." said Democratic Chairman Ringhoff. "With what other votes Mr. Farwig polls he will be elected by a good vote. We are sure to carry the First. Fourth and Eighth wards and we will cut in with a big vote In the other five wards. Farwig is the next mayor." Biff's Statement. This was the statement issued by Republican Chairman Iliff: "Guessing on elections is a good deal like fishing You look for the placid water and there Is no way to tell whether you are going to catch fish or not. You will reason that the kind of water, the situation and the general appearance of the surroundings indicate a good day's catch, but you don't absolutely know. No man does. He can only go on fishing. "Men at times would give fortunes to clairvoyants, soothsayers and fortune tellers who could tell them absolutely what the result of an election might be. They try in every way to get at the facts. They take the poll and the poll books fail. They take straw votes and they fail. They hurrah and spend money and send forth astounding predictions, and they fail. It is all as deep and mysterious as the placid waters, for the people are an Edmund Burke said: 'Do not think because the grasshoppers chirp loudly in the fence corners that they are the only inhabitants of the field. Ixnik at the placid cattle silently chewing their cud under the trees." "I will not make any guess on the vote Tuesday. I am only one man and no one man can focus the entire field. 1 will say this, howerer. that the Progressive vote of last fall cuta no figure in this election. The Democratic vote of last fall cut no figure In this election. There were factors In the vote of last fall that are not here now. There are factor In this city election that were not with us laat fall. You might just aa well cast aside last fall's election figures for a basis to guess upon. They are absolutely worthless. "I like fighting In politics. At the same time there is no office I would want or would have, and no office, no hope of preference, no offer of any kind could ever put a padlock on my lips and keep me from fighting face to face, steel to steel and tell every man to his face what I said or would say to his back. "I have absolute faith in the integrity and the intelligence of the people of Richmond, and judging from a general ' w, so far as I a one man could take it. I fuily believe that Mayor Zimmerman's past good work for all the people will be indorsed and It will be found that the Republican -party is neither dead nor sleeping." . Chairman Howard Brooks of the Progressive City committee made a statement yesterday claiming Will J. Robbins would carry every ward in the city. CENTER VILLE. Ind.. Not. 1. Muc h interest is being taken in the town election Tuesday. There will be only one ticket, called the Citizen ticket, but there are two or more candidates for each office on this ticket. The Issue of the election is the question of street lighting. Council let a contract with the T. H. 1.' & E. traction company to supply current for street lighting. The majority of the citizens were opposed to this because the lights would be turned off at midnight. On the advice of Attorney H. V.
