"PLECTIONS IN EIGHT STATES NEXT HONTH Four to Select Governors and Six Legislatures R 5 I HIGH SCHOOL CLASS OFFICERS Eight states, New York, Massachu- I setts, Maryland, New Jersey, Penn- sylvania, Kentucky, Ohio, and Missis- ippi, will hold elections on Tuesday, ovember 2. In four of these states, Massachu- setts, Maryland, Kentucky and Missis- sippi governors are to be elected; in six states, New York, Massachusetts, Maryland, New Jersey, Kentucky and Mississippl the state legislatures, in whole or in part, are to be elected, and in five states, New York, Massa- ghusetts, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Ohio, important constitutional issues are to be decided. Dominent Issues. ‘With a few local exceptions, in fact, these constitutional questions will be the dominant issues on elec- tion day, including as they do such fundamental matters as woman suf- frage, municipal home rule, prohibi- tion, state income taxes, referendum \plans, and some lesser reforms. wThe woman suffrage question will gome up for decision in New York, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts, which states will furnish, in point of population, the greatest test the suf- frage issue has ever had in the United States. New Jersey, the first state in the east to vote on equal suffrage, defeated the proposition at a special lelection given over exclusively to the #uffrage question on October 19. While it has been held by some politi- cal observers that the result of the test in New Jersey would be reliably indicative of what might be expected B the three bigger neighboring tes, the suffrage leaders have not n discouraged by the big majority with which the issue was defeated in New Jersey, and look forward to the Migger test with confidence. The importance of this test is in- dicated by the fact that, in point of Population, the states of New York, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts, which will vote on suffrage Novem- ber 2, include over 20,000,000 people \=a fifth of the population of the en- tire United States—and these 20,000,- 000 are practically double the popu- Iation of the states in which equal suffrage has as yet been fully (achieved. F- New York State. " In New York state, in addition to \the suffrage issue, a dominant feature | 'of the election will be the question of dopting a new state constitution as ised by a recent state constitutional vention, presided over by Elihu eot. The new constitution, at the request of the suffrage leaders, has ~not been made to include the suffrage ‘amendment, hence the constitution and the suffrage issue will be voted upod separately, neither question having - anything “to do- directly with- the fate of the other. The features of the revised consti- tution are measures designed to give the cities of the state greater latitude in the management of municipal af- fairs, and coincidently to relieve the legsilature of a vast amount of local matters; to make the governor a more ‘responsible individual by making the numerous executive arms of the ad- ministration more directly responsible to him, to reform the judiciary so as to eliminate some of the red tape that is declared to handicap the prompt execution of the laws; and among ‘provisions the short ballot and the budget system. Two important ar- ticles, relating to taxation and re- apportionment, will be submitted to the voters, separate from the general constitution question. Two other sep- arate amendments would provide for a §27,000,000 bond issue to complete he barge canal, and to permit the leg- lature to alter the rate of interest on certain state debts already in- curred. Although the Republicans were in a majority in the convention, jhey are not a unit in supporting the new constitution, nor are the Demo- erats standing solidly against it. Full Assembly. In personnel the New York elec- jon calls for the choice of a full as- sembly of 150 members, eleven Su- preme court justices and thrée Con- jgressman, as well as county and city officials in some sections of the State. Congressional successors are to be chesen to Joseph A. Golden, democral of the twenty-third district, and Ed- win A. Merritt, Jr, and Sereno L. Payne, of the thirty-first and thirty- sixth, respectively, who died while serving in the last congress. The can- didates are: Willilam S. Bennett, rc- publican, and Elsworth J. Healy, dem- ocrat, both of New York, in the twen- ty-third distrist; Bertrand H. Snell, of Potsdam, republican, William T. Align, of Malone, democrat, and Howard D, Hadley, of Plattsburgh, progressive, in trict; and Norman S. Gould, of Seneca Falls, republican-progressive, and Louls J. Licht, of Geneva, democrat, p the thirty-sixth. Massachusetts, Massachusets, in addition to the [suffrage amendment, will vote on the proposition of giving the legisia- jure authority to impose a tax on in- omes, and similar authority for he taking over of land in country istricts for the purpose of establish- ng homesteads for those who may wish to escape from the more con- gested quarters of the cities. " A# successor to governor David I. Walsh, democrat, is to be elected and he candidates, including Governor Walsh, are: Nelson B. Clark, progres- i Samuel W: McCall, republican; William Shaw, prohibition; Walter S, futchins, socialist, and Peter B- Rourke, socialist-labor. the thirty-first dis- | HAROLD BYETT President Junior Class- election outside of the vote on the suffrage question. No state officers are to be elected with the exception of three candidates to fill vacancles the Superior Court bench. In gen- eral the only thing other than the suffrage issue to attract the voters to the polls will be county and munci- pal elections, although one Congress- man is to be elected to fill a vacancy in the twenty-fourth district, In Philadelphia the republican or- ganization has conducted a vigorous campaign to regain control of the city administration, which was wresi- ed from it four years ago when the reform elements united with the democratic party and elected Rudolph Blankenburg, a life-long reformer in politics, as mayor. The republican candidate for the mayorality this fall is Thomas B. Smith, former postmas- ter of Philadelphia. His chief* op- ponent is George D, Porter, a re- fermer who has been director of the department of public safety in the ARTHUR NEUMAN President Sophomore Class, Former Congressman A.

This stand later was incor- porated in the democratic party plat- form. The platform also faWprs sub- mitting to a vote of the people a con- stitutional amendment that would do away with the prison contract sys- tem and permitting the working of convicts on ‘the county roads. Edwin P. Morrow, of Somerset, is the republican nominee: Fred J. Irexler, a Louisiana man, heads the progressive ticket. Mississippi. The election in Mississippi will be merely a ratification of the nomina- tions made by the democratic voters Blankenburg' administration. He re- signed to make the canvas for the mayoralty under the banner of the recently formed Franklin party. The democratic party is running its can- didates on a straight party ticket. Maryland. Maryland will elect a governor, comptroller of the state treasury, at- torney-general, a full house of dele- gates and a half of the state senate. In addition four constitutional amend- ments will be |voted upon,and local minor officers will be chosen in the counties and Baltimore City. Candi- dates to succeed Governor Goldsbor- ough, republican are: Ovington Weller, republican; Emerson C. rington, democrat, and George Gorsuch, prohibitionist. The constitutional amendments are for the referendum, a new taxation scheme, home rule for cities, and pa- role in"criminal ‘cases. The referen- dum plan is practically the same as that followed in other states, except that the Maryland proposition in- cludes a prohibition against the use of the referendum in any local option or license legislation. If the home rule amendment carries the legislature will be relieved of a vast amount of purely local legislation, which would be vested in the city and country councils; while the taxation amend- Har- R ment provides for the classification of all kinds of propery for the purpose of taxation. Ohio, There will be general interest in the election in Ohio for the reason that state wide prohibition of the liquor traflic is an issue again this vear, as it was last year in the form of a pro- posed constitutional amendment which would forbid the sale pr manufacture for sale of any alcoholic beverages. The *‘wets” have countered this pro- posal with petitions under the initiat- ive and referendum law by which the people will also vote on another pro- vision which would prevent the sub- mission of any constitutional amend- ment more than twice in six years. Ohio is the only state in the Union which will vote this fall . upon the liquor issue, In addition to the broad- er question of prohibition the so- called liquor license decentralization law, passed by the recent legislature, will be subjected to referendum. Thie issue concerns largely the method of selection of license commissioners. The Sprague congressional re- districting bill, passed by the recent legislature, will also be under fire by referendum, which was petitioned by the Democratic state organization. The re-districting taw as drawn would, it is declared, result in normal years in the elecion of sixteen Republican Con- gressmen and possibly six democratic Congressmen The Democrats claim that the law which thty passed when in power divided the districts about evenly as between the two parties. Al cities in Ohio will select mayors and other municipal officers at the coming election, but no state officers are to be chosen this fall. Kentucky, The Kentuckians will elect a gover- nor for a four-year term, all other state officers, one half of the state senate and entire new assembly. Dem- ocrats, Republicans and Prohibition- ists have candidates for all the state offices, with Republican and Demo- cratic contestants for every place on the ballot, and the progressives are represented by candidates for nearly all the state offices and numerous seats in the general assembly. The Socialist party has only a candidate for governor.

A full set of state, county and district officers will be formally elected, as well as mem- bers of both branches of the legisla- ture.

THE MACDOWELL RECITAD, When Mrs. Edward MacDowell gave a lecture recital at the Minneso- ta Music Teachers’ convention, the Musical courier reported:— “The charming lecturer gave heart to those who would otherwise have been dis- couraged in their attempts to teach and play MacDowell's music correct- Iy. by reminding them that the com- poser had always ardently maintained that anything beautifully done is cor- rect, therefore, there might be a doz- | en correct interpretations of the same little piece; but the forceful- ness, the verility of Mrs. MacDowell over interpretations compel one to believe that they must be very like ‘the originals. “And the joy of it is that she fs not merely a great man’s widow, traveling on his name, but is a piau- ist, who need not lean on someone else to make her playing liked.” Mrs. MacDowell comes to New Brit- ain next Wednesday evening at Y. W. C. A. hall. Seats are reserved at Dickinson's. FORBID SALE OF MEAT. London, Oct. 23, 9:58 a. m.—The Amsterdam correspondent of Reuter's Telegram company says that accord- ing o advices from Berlin the federal council has forbidden the sale on two days of each week of dishes consisting of meat, WORLD DEPENDING UPON. AMERICA Look to United States for Sup- plies and Credit (Special to the Herald.) New York, Oct. 23, 1915—Extraord- inary events are taking place almost daily which attract comparatively lit- tle attention. Evidently we are rap- idly becoming accustomed to the ab- normal and no longer shiver at every new disturbance or novel movement. Only a few days ago the most re- markable government loan in history was placed in this market, and $350,- 000,000 out of the $490,000,000 due was paid the first day without excit- ing a ripple in financial circles. Since the beginnng of the current vear we have imported about $300,000,000 of gold, and much more is coming. Our merchandise exports again broke the record last week, amounting to over $73,000,000 or $44,000,000 in excess of imports for the same period. Russia negotiated a war contract for $60,- 000,000 and Ttaly offered $25,000,000 of notes for war purposes. A new Am- erican preparedness policy costing ful- ly $500,000,000, was announced from ‘Washington without evoking any spe- cial interest. That such movements and ideas as these can come and go without disturbing our serenity is ample proof of economic strength and sound mental equilibrium. Today the whole business world is depending up- on America for both supplies and credit, and these we are giving with- out stint, yet amply within the lines of safety. Needl to say that when the war is over and normal conditions are restored, the United States will be found to have made tremendous progress as a prime factor in the world's markets. While other nations are retrograding and exhausting themselves in the wasteful tragedy abroad, the United States has forged ahead and won a position of the very first importance, which under new competitive conditions after the l @mm.i'“’?

Foreign trade is still one of most important factors in our com- merrial and financial activities. Our imports continue relatively light for the obvious reason that Europe’s ener- gies are devoted to producing commo- dities other than the luxuries which we are i stomed to buy abroad. Our export trade, however, is expanding at a rapid pac and must be expected to grow. The export season for cot- ton and grain is now on, and big ship- ments from the United States and Canada will occur during the next few months, the financing of which will fall chiefly upon the United States, Shipments of war munitions must also go forward more freely as early con- tracts are completed. The outlook then is for another huge excess of ex- ports duriug the next few months that will far outweigh the recent tendency for increased imports. Whether this will develop another crisis in foreign exchange or not, only event can determine. Exchange already shows signs of softening under the pressure of commercial bills; but with the advantage of last year’s experience to guide financial sentiment it would seem as if injurious effects such as oc- curred last spring can be safely guard- ed against by anticipation. Great Britain is again sending gold in pay- ment, $50,000,000 having come by Canada this week, with more to fol- low. American securities held abroad have also been sent here in large amounts, so that by one means or an- other her debts are being paid more readily than foteign commercial statis tics suggest to the uninitiated. Never- theless, Great Britan and other coun- tries will not unlikely be obliged to seek further credits in the United States, for their borrowing and our lending limits have by no means been reached. Besides it is to our best interest to sell our surplus products and accept payments on a time basis when more immediate settlements are impossible. The arrivals of gold by the end of the year will probably reach $400,000,000, bringing our stock of the metal con- siderably over $2,000,000,000. This affords an immense basis of credit, which has been further expanded by operations of the new reserve system. The fact is that our lending facilities are superabundant, and were it not for their employment in foreign loans, we would be surfeited with funds and in danger of plunging into riotous infla- tion. Capital has been steadily in- creasing in this country, in spite of the war, but the customary amounts have not gone into the development of home enterprises, having instead been largely absorbed in the repurchases of our sccurities from abroad. Some au- thorites estimate that we have taken back fully $800,000,000 of our securi- ties since the war began. Home Conditions Better, Home business conditions are grow- ing more and more satisfactory. Un- der the stimulus of cheap money, good crops and war contracts there has been a very decided revival of com- mercial activities that has probably not yet reached its maximum. Advices from the west are of an encouraging nature, and merchants are stocking up more freely in anticipation of a good fall and winter trade. The railroads are already beginning to feel the bene- ficial effects of good crops. Traffic managers anticipate a rush of freight A a scarcity of cars. In all proba- bility nings of the leading systems during the last three months of the current year will show very decided gains, gross and net over last vear, es- pecially in view of the increased rates which have been granted some lines. the ¥ RICHTER & CO.

McManas, FINANCIAL NEWS MORE GAINS MADE BY SPECIAL STOCKS Bethlehem Steel Rises Ten and General Motors Eleven Points New York, Oct. 23.—Today's short session of the Stock Exchange gave promise of higher prices and in- creased activity, the opening showing general advances, with more high rec- ords in the specialties. Chief among these were the motor shares and Baldwin Locomotive, the latter adding over five points to yesterday’'s maxi- mum at 154 1-2. Some of the repre- sentative rails were higher, notably Canadian Pacific and United States Steel also manifested a tendency to- ward betterment. In the second hour, however, heavy realizing, together with increased weakness exchange, soon obliterated most gains, some specialties falling well under yesterday's final prices. The closing was irregular. Bonds were firm. Wall St., 10:30 a. m.—Special stocks governed trading on the stock ex- change again today, with additions to recent high records, while rails and other former favorites were relatively dull but firm Baldwin Locomotive rose 5% to the new quotation of 154% one after some slight wavering at the outset. Maxwell Motors was 2% high- er at 72% and U. S. Industrial Alcohol made a new minimum on its two point advance to 128. Bethlehem Steel rose ten above yesterday's close at 585 and General Motors 11 at 381. Other is- sues of this group were higher by one In fact the railroad outlook is bright- er than it 'has been for several years and the advances which have so far taken place in the better issues are more than justified. The better class of industrials must also share the com« ing improvement, and attention is now being directed to specialties hitherto neglected. Steel issues are leading in anticipation of business revival. While war contracts have been a very stimu- lating factor in the rise of many of the specialties, still the legitimate demand for iron and steel coming from a nat- ural recovery in business will prove much more permanent. The railroads have been economizing severely for vears. Already they are entering the market with larger orders for steel rails, equipment and other materials. The steel industry is now unusually active. Prices are advancing and the rise in the better grade of securities in this class has also been amply justi- fled by recently improved conditions. A number of industrial shares are also benefitting by the forelgn demand for thelr products arising from interrupt- ed supplies abroad. War Still Factor, Thus far, the rise in stocks, other than the wag group, has been fully warranted by general conditions, and particularly by the great abundance of loanable funds. Inflationary influ- ences have been quietly at work and have not yet apparently exhausted themselves At times reactionary tend- encies appeared and the market is showing wider and more frequent fluctations. It is not likely that the advance movement as a whole has reached its end, but profit taking and the liberal discounting of many condi- tions ended to temporarily unsettle the market. In the absence, however, of any stocks are likely to prove a purchase on all pronounced reactions. The war is still a powerful factor in the situation and the end not yet in HENRY CLEWS. in foreign | to two points.
