Louisville, Ky., Nov. 3. With the
possible exception that a few progres

changes generally are anticipated in
the membership by tomorrow's elec

centers in the local struggle between
prcgrssives and democrats in Louis

Philadelphia, Nov. 3. Campaign or
atory in the local political contests
was continued today by the fusion
forces and by the regular republicans.
Much of tbe day was devoted' to the
details of getting out the vote tomor

that it would win all the county offi
ces and also control city councils.

New York, Nov. 3. Republicans -pre- This thev thought, was caused by in
dieted today that they would regain
control of the lower branch of the
State legislature through tomorrow's
election. Their hopes are based on
democratic disaffection over the re
moval of Governor Sulzer and the
fact that the democratic leaders have
neglected the state situation in the
bitter fight to retain command of
New York city.
The progressive party promises to
play as important a part in the slate
election as it did a year ago. To the
big progressive vote last year the
republicans attributed the defeat of
their candidate for governor and the
loss of the legislature. This year
through fusion with the republicans in
New York city the progressives are
assured an increased representation
in the assembly and should the elec
tion be close they would the balance
of power in that house between the
two older parties'.
At the same time republica.es as

test for the governorship to unify
the progressives in a statewide effort
they expect that many of the latter
will return to. the republican fold.
Following the advice of Colonel
Roosevelt, the progressives have made j
a special effort to elect assembiymen.
In this city they have obtained repub
