"Washington, Oct. 31. Special TTash-

interest, is patching eagerly the result
of Tuesday's elections. National "nter
e?t aiT-1 national significance as. weii at
taches to the result in several of the
state?. Especially is this true in New
York and Maryland, where the contests
have been fiercely waged. There j is
some little interest in the issue' in Mas
parhusetts, which is due largely to the
uneasiness of Republicans ovor the fate
of Governor Bates Democrats have a
very small chance there, and that is
all. In Rhode Island, the Democracy
Is fighting to retain its hold upon tine
state. They are working hard also to
make gains in the legislature so as to
encompass next year the defeat of Sen
ator Aldrich for re-election if possible.
There is practically no interest in the
Ohio contest, for the Republicans are
conceded everything. In MarylaVid the
Democrat are counting on a lo.OCO ma
jority. Senator Gorman is reported to
'lave said yesterday that the majority
.tyould "6e in the neighborhood of 10,000.
The legislature is conceded to the Dem
crats, and the fight is over the gov-'tr-n-orship.

A number f "Washington correspond
ents have been in New York the past
sveek, and nearly all report that the
tide is with Tammany. The campaign
In the metropolis : has been the most
spectacular anywhere in the nation.
With a practically united press array
td against the organization, the Indi
ra tions point to its success. N. O. Mes
senger, the well known political writer
for the Star, who has been :in New
York several days sizing up the situa
tion, wired his paper today:
"Prior to an election there is often

Washington, Oct. 31. The annual
thanksgiving proclamation of the pres
ident was made public today as fol
lows: "By the president of the United States
of America A proclamation.
' The season is at band when, accord
ing to the custom of our people, it falls
upon the president to appoint a day of
praise and thanksgiving to God.
"During the last yea-the Lord has
dealt bountifully with us, giving us
peace at home and abroad and the
chance for our citizens to work for
their welfare unhindered by war, fam
ine or plague. It behooves us not only
to rejoice greatly because of what has
been given us, but to accept it with a
solemn sense of responsibility, reali
zing that under heaven it rests with
ourselves to show that we are worthy
to use aright what has been entrusted
to our care. In no other place and at
no other time has the experiment ot
government of the people, by the peo
ple, for the people, been tried on so
vast a scale as here 4n our own coun
try in the; opening years of the twen
tieth century. Failure would not only
be a dreadful thing for us, but a dread
ful thing for all mankind, because it
wouid mean loss of hope for all who
believe in the power and the righteous
ness of liberty. Therefore, in thank
ing God for the mercies extended to us
In the past, we beseech him that he
may not withhold them In the future,
and that our hearts' may "be roused to
war steadfastly for good and against
all the forces of evil, public and pri
vate. We pray for strength and light,
10 that In the coming years we may,
ith cleanliness, fearlessness and wis
lom, do our allotted wTork on the earth
such maner as to show that we are
aot altogether unworthy of the bless
'ngs we have received.
"Now, therefore, I, Theodore Roose
velt, president of the United States, do
hereby designate as a day of general
thanksgiving Thursday the 26th of the
coming November, an&fdo recommend
that throughout the land the people
cease from their wonted occupations,
and in their several homes and places
tf worship return thanks unto Al
mighty God for his manifold mereies.

He was a military prisoner and was

raised a family and is held
in . hijjh esteem by the community

that his past history' seemed to be well

still be- behind the quota to .which, she
is justly entitled. It t&kes pull, and
Republican pull at that, to get rural

Which Loved the More
Chicago, Oct. 31. Commander Booth
Tucker of the Salvation Army, last
evening, standing beside the bier of his
wife at the Old Princess Rink, before
what was probably the greatest throng
of people that ever sat under that! roof,
said: j
"The only thing that my wife and
I ever disagreed upon was which loved
the other most. Our life was a. per
petual courtship. A man in an audi

God if my wife should be killed in a

that man were here I would say to

The second, who is in an advanced
stage, is wide awake at one moment
and then in a f3W minutes Telapsed in
to a stupor from; which he can not be
awakened. He dees nothing but eat

tralizes the effects of cocaine.! The
boy had a tumor on the back of his

That Prohibition Will Win .

Durham, N. C, Oct. 31. Special. As
the "local option election draws near,
which will be held Tuesday, both sides
are warming up in the fight and cam
paign. During last night and this mor
ning the ' anti-prohibition side distrib
ute. large number of circulars in fa
vor of the saloon, sid.e. Today there
were all kinds of rumors and reports
in the streets and there were frequent
arguments, all showing that the cam
paign is to close with more heat and
interest than was expected a short while
i :
agot ! '
. Tomorrow afternoon the anti-saloon
sid will hold a mass meeting at the
Academy of Music. This meeting will
be addressed by Rev. R. C. Beaman,
president of the ; anti-saloon league.
The meeting has been well advertised
and It is" expected that there will be a
jlargfr number of people in attendance.
Monday night both sides will hold a
rally at least that is the program at
this time. The anti-saloon side will
hold a rally in I the Academy and this
meeting will be addressed by Mr. N.
B. Broughton of Raleigh. The other
jside say that they will also hold a
mass meeting that will be addressed
by ! well lenown business men and citi
zens of the town.
On the eve of lhe election it looks
like the anti-saloon ticket will win1 by
a good mc,'ority. The majority, how
ever, will not be as large as some have
been expecting.! There are pver sixteen
hundred people registered, but the vote
will not be heavy. Many think that
'twelve hundred votes; on the outside
j' will be the number cast. If the vote
In iioi over elavea ar twelve hundred
then it Is estimated by many who have
watched the campaign closely, that the
majority for the anti-saloon ticket will
be in the neighborhood' of one hundred
and fifty. Still there ar many who
claim that the anti-prohibition side
will win when the votes are counted.
Tomorrow a 'prohibition, . or temper
ance, sermon will be preached from
every pulpit in the city. Some of these
sermons will be preached in the morn-
ing and others at night.
