WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-The cam. paign In forty-two states for the elec tion of the sixtieth congress has passed Into history. Besides the congressional balloting, twenty-three states will to- day elect governors, Arizona and New Mexico will accept or reject a jointure in statehood, Oklahoma and the Indian Territory will adopt a state constitution and twenty states will choose legisla- tures which in turn will elect United States senators. The United States weather bureau secs falr weather for election day. President Roosevelt, who yearly sets the example of good citizenship by go- ing from Washington to Oyster Bay JOHN B, MORAN to cast Lis vote, left the White House oh this pligrimage at midnight. He will return today, and arrangements bave been made as usual to keep him posted at the White House of the elec tion returns. Thursday he leaves for a trip to Panama. The president's cabinet is still in the field, Most of the cabinet officers Lave dope strenuous campaign work. Although reports from the various states indicate that as a resuft of the election an ample working majority of Republicans will be returned to con- gress, there are varring Indications as to the colitests for state offices. It Is believed that in Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Ollo apd Massachusetts, for example, there will be Democratic gains. In Iowa, Indiana, Nebraskan and California, where there is an Inde pendence league ticket in the field, the Republicans, on the other hand, expect to win by increased majorities. Much doubt exists In several of the other states, notably New Jersey, New York and Massachusetts, Elections will be held in forty-two states and three territories, Twenty- three of these are to elect governors and full state tickets. The terms of thirty United States senators expire in March, and the legislatures chosen to day will fill most of the vacancles. The Democrats have tickets In every state and territory and the Republicans In all except Florida and South Caro lina. In only one state |s there actual fu sion. That Is Nebraska, where the Pop- ulists and Democrats agreed upon a common ticket. But minor parties have In several states allled them: selves with either Republicans or Dem- ocrats, as in Pennsylvania, where Leow- is Emery heads five columns on the ballot, and In Massachusetts, where J. B. Moran bas three Indorsements The Probibitionists have twenty-three tickets in the fleld, the Socialist Labor party eight and the Iadependence league three. If the Democrats are to wrest con trol of the next house of representa. tives from the Republicans they will bave to win at least fifty-eight new congress districts and lose none they now hold. The present house consists of 250 Republicans and 136 Democrats, giving the former a majority of 114 Chairman Griggs of the Democratic congress committee figures out n gain for his party of sixty-seven, which, If there are no lostes, would mean a working majority Few, , however, share Mr. Griggs’ opinion, and It Is generally belleved that the next house will be of the same political complex fon as the present one, The situation In New Jersey, it Is sald, Is likely to develop surprises, and many of the politicians admit that they nre unable to make confident pre- dictions. The chief Interest centers In the election of representatives to the state legislature, who will have the choosing of a United States senator John F. Dryden, the present Incum bent, is leading the fight for Repub- lican control, which for him means another term, The “new idea” or taxation reform Issue raised about a year ago by Sen. ator Coluy, who had & strong follow- log, will affect the Republican vote Bo also will the results of the Bishops law, which operates against Sanday llqbor selltog. : — closed with addresses at Aberdeen by Colonel I. Crawford, Republican nomi. nee for governor, and United States Senator Gamble, whose term expires next March and who was indorsed by the Republican state couvention for re-election. That the Republicans of Utah today will re-elect. Congressman Joseph Howell and will elect Joseph N. Frick, their candidate for justice of the su- preme &urt, is generally conceded. Interest centers in the strife over the county offices in Balt Lake county, with the issue iu doubt between the Republicans and the American party, the anti-Mormon organization. The Republican managers of Cali fornia assert that Gillett will be elect. ed governor by nearly 30,000 plurali- ty. The Democrats say they will have 8,000 plurality, while the leaders of the Independence league declare that Langdon will win, Jhe Democrats expect to elect three or four congress- men. Arkansas will elect seven congreas- men, and indications are that the sev. en Democratic nominees Will be elect: ed by large majorities. The parting shots of the campaign In western Pennsylvania were fired at Pittsburg when Lewis Emery, Jr., the fusion gubernatorial nominee, made bis last nddress at Corry, while Ed- win B. Stuart, the Republican nominee, was one of the speakers at McKees- port, where Congressman John Dal zell Is being vigorously opposed for re-election. , “Edwin 8. Stuart will be elected gov- enor of Pennsylvania today by at least 50,000 majority,” said Chairman Andrews of the Itepublican state com- mittee. “Lewis Emery, Jr, will be chosen governor of this state by the handsome majority of 100,000,” sald Chairman Nines of the Lincoln state committee. Both leading parties in Nebraska held rallles at various places last night, the most important being that at Plattsmouth, where William J. Bry: an spoke fu behalf of the fusion tick- et (Democrat and Populist.) Republican State Chairman William B. Rose sald, “Nebraska will elect the entire Republican state ticket, will send a gol working majority of Re- publicans In both houses to the legis. lature and will send a Republican congressman to Washington from each district.” Chairman Thomas 8S. Allen of the Democratic state committee sald: “The Democratic state ticket will be elect ed. We will also elect a wiajority of the legislature and four out of the six congressmen.” On the eve of the election the indica. tions are still that the Democrats will carry all of the districts ln Virginia except the Ninth and that there they have a fighting chance to win. Democratic Chairman Garber clalns a plurality of 19.000 for his ticket In Obhlo, with gains lu congressmen, while Senator Dick, chairman of the Repub. lican committee, maintains that his party will uot only retain all its con gressmen, but will also keep the Demo- cratic districts won two years ago. Election day ia Connecticut finds Re- publicans confident of their normal ma- Jority for Colouel Rollin 8. Woodruff of this city for governor, while the Demo- crats expect to carry more senatorial districts than last year and to show an Increase In thelr numbers in the house of representatives, Election day in Michigan finds the Republican party serenely confident of victory. Governor Fred M. War. LEWIS EMERY, JR. ner In a statement sald that Le ex- pected to be elected by a much larger vote than two years ago. Charles H Kimmerle, the Democratic guberna- torial candidate, contended himself with saying that he was “not ready to concede that the people vote on the dictation of Governor Warner and the Republican machine.” Warrants For 207 at Newnrk.

IN METEOR SHOWER Steamer St. Andrew In Dire Peril at Sea. HUGE MASSES OF METAL RAIS DOWY —— “Had Falling Stars Happened to Have Hit the Vessel,” Said Captain Fitagerald, “Every Soul Would Have Been Destroyed.” NEW YORK, Nov, 6.—~When the Phe nix line steamship St. Andrew arrived from Antwerp Captain Fitzgerald re ported tit the steamer had passed through a rueteoric shower at 4:30 o'clock on Tuesday about 000 miles northeast of Cape Race. The largest meteor observed fell Into the sea less than a mile away. Had It struck the 8t. Andrew all bands would have per- ished. “On Tuesday afternoon.” sald Chief Officer V. E. Spencer, who was on the bridge when the meteors appeared, “the weather was clear and bright, al- though there was little sunshine. Just after one bell, 4:30 o'clock, | saw three meteors fall into the water dead ahead of the ship one after another at a dis- tance of about five miles. Although it was daylight, they left a red streak in the air from zenith to the horizon. “Simultaneously the third engineer shouted to me. I then saw a huge me- teor on the port beam falling lu a zig- zag manner less than a mile away to the southward. “We could distinctly bear the hissing of the water as It touched. It fell with A rocking motion, leaving a broad red streak in its wake. The meteor must have weighed several tons and appear el to be from ten to fifteen feet In diameter. It was saucer shaped, which probably accounted for the peculiar rocking motion. “When the mass of metal struck the water the spray and steam rose to a height of at least forty feet and for a few moments looked like the mouth of a crater. If It had been night the meteor would have IHluminated the sea for fifty or sixty miles. The hissing sound, lke escaping steam, when It struck the water was so loud that the chiet engineer turned out of his berth and came on deck, thinking the sound came from the engine room. 1 have seen meteors all over the world, but never such a large one as this" Atked what would have happened if the meteor tumbled on the St. Andrew, Mr. Spencer sald: “The ship would bave been burned out Immediately and every soul on board destroyed. 1 have no doubt that many of the vessels which bave been lost at sea In apparently floe weather bave been destroyed by falling me- teors.” Red Men Win Land From Whites.
