DALLAS, Tex., Nov. 2.—Democrats and
Republicans had mass meetings in Dallas
tonight
M. M. Crane, Dwight Lowellen, Yancey
Lewis and several others addressed an
audience that nearly filled the auditor-
ium of the City Hall under the auspices
of the Bryan and Kern Club. It was the
most enthusiastic meeting lieid in Dallas
since the openinc of the campaign.
The Republican# had an open air meet-
ing of several nuncired persons. The
principal speakers were John N. Simpson,
candidate for Governor, and VV. H. At-
well. candidate for Attorney General.
There was more spirit shown than in any
Kepublican meeting in Dallas since
A. B. Storey, chairman of the Stale
Democratic Executive Committee, will
pperd tomorrow and tomorrow night in
Dallas. Tie this evening telegraphed Sec-
retary J. C. McNealus that he would
leave J^ockhart tonight and reach Dallas
tomorrow morning on the Katy flyer duo
to arrive ;it S:15 o'clock. Mr. Storey wilt
have apartments at the Oriental Hotel

morrow night.
LAVACA MAY GO FOR SIMPSON.
Prohibition Question May Cause De-
feat of Democrats.
Special Telegram to The Express.
HALLETTSV1LL8, T< X . Nov, 2.—
Practically no betting of any kind has
been done here upon the result of the
election. Very little interest has been
taken outwardly, although the Republi-
cans have been doing much quiet work.
It is believed by many that the county
will go for Simpson for Governor. This
county normally is Democratic, bat the
prohibition question will affect it ma-
terially this year, and if it does go Re-
publican for Governor the change can be
attributed to the prohibition question
principally, as this county is thoroughly
a nti-prohibition.
In county affairs the races will not
amount to anything except in the race
for County Judge. It is believed that
the contest for this office will be close
between \V. R. McCutchan. the present
Incumbent, and E. O. Me'tzen, former
judge.

MANY QUESTIONS ENTER
INTO OHIO ELECTION
CAMPAIGN HAP BEEN ONE OF
HOTTEST EVER KNOWN.
SAN ANTONIO MAN IS
KILLED AT EAGLE LAKE
VAUGHAN BEAKES, FORMERLY A
SUNSET FIREMAN, IS SHOT.
Temperance Legislation and the Stan-
dard Oil Exposures Constitute Ele-
ments of Doubt as to Results
of Campaign.
CINCINNATI, Ohio, Nov. 2.—In addi-
tion to voting for or against one of
Ohio's native sons, electors in this Staste
will tomorrow cast their ballots on the
full State official family, members of
both houses of the Legislature, Judicial
and county offices, and also, express
their opinion on three constitutional
amendments.
The campaign, after a quiet opening,
has been one of the hottest ever known
and leaders of the various parties have
been drawn into the fight.
Temperance legislation, present and
prospective, has cut a. large figure in th«
contest, notably between the Republican
and Democratic candidates for Governor,
and it is expected that the complications
resulting from the internal party differ-
ences on that issue will cause much tie-
lay in learning the result.
The various developments that, seemetf
to bring the Standard Oil Company mor»
or less into politics, as indicated by pub-
lished letters and statements, followed
closely by the mention of Senator For-
aker and other prominent leaders in that
c.onnectlon, have much complicated the
calculations of experts on advance infor-
mation. The legislature to he elected
will name a successor to Senator For-
aker, for which plare the present in-
cumbent is a candidate.
Three amendments to the Constitution
are to be voted on. All have received
the endorsement of the various parties.
One provides for changes hi taxation
methods, a second for earlier legislative
sessions and the third provides for u
two-thirds legislative vote to overcome
a Governor's veto.

day, and has addressed audiences in
thirty-three States. On the eve of the
election he said in his address:
"I make this prophecy: The party that
goes down to defeat tomorrow will never
again put a. candidate for President, in
the field. The entire face of the politics
of the Nation will change before an-
other four years is passed. The Prohibi-
tionist ticket tomorrow will receive the
largest vote it has ever been given by
tens and tens of thousands. The old
parties will realize that, the battles of
the future will be waged over this ques-
tion and that this issue will be the great
issue until the day when the saloon Is
abolished. Then and not until then, will
we stop our fight for the wiping out of
the liquor traffic."

CHICAGO, 111., Nov. 2.—Is Miss Kath-
erine Elkins a reincarnated Duchess?
Why do European noblemen hunger for
American heiresses?
These two questions were handed to
Lecturer Rogers ot' the Theosophical So-
ciety yesterday. Mr. Rogers replied that,
according to the tenets ot' theosophy, the
chances were highly in favor of consid-
ering Alias Elkins a reincarnated
Duchess.
"Miss E-lkins has all the inherent at-
tributes of a Duchess," he said. "She
laoks the title; that's all. She has the
spirit of royalty and ultra-ariaiocraoy
about her which attracted and hold spell-
hound the Duke of Abruzzl. No doubt
M • Elkins developed the magnetlo
charms which her titled fiancee admired
in several past lives or incarnations. In
some former lives she may have walked
in the imperial courts of Home. She may
have had the- high and mighty at ner
feet. Thus It is reasonable to sunpose
that having had royal espousals in for-
mer incarnations, it would only be nat-
ural to suppose that she would seek to
again Identify herself with the nobility.
It' a woman happens to be a royalist in ,
past Incarnations and is born again amid
plcbinn surroundings In the next, incarna-
tion. it is probable indeed that she will
feel intuitively that, she belongs to a
higher strata <>f society than that in
which Karma has seen fit to place her.
And ho when a woman who was an aris-
tocrat in past life meets a person of blue
blood, she will instinctively feel that she

CHICAGO, 111., Nov. 2.—The bishops
of the Methodist Kpiscopal Church are
not of one mind respecting the case of
Speaker Cannon. A number of them
some time ago declared their disapproval
of his attitude during tho last Congress
on tho question of legislation applicable
to the liquor question as it touched pro-
hibition States.
Last week tho board of bishops was in
session in Indianapolis. Bishop Ham-
ilton of Boston, formerly located in San
Francisco, prepared a letter while in In-
dianapolis to the North western Christian
Advocate, in which he distinctly declined
to oppose Mr. Cannon's re-election and
expressed his confidence in the Speaker's
uprightness and correctness on the liquor
question.
It is known, too, that Bishop Hamilton
does not stand among tho bishops alone
in his views on Mr. Cannon* More than
one of his colleagues is said to have
urged him to write the letter dissenting
from the criticisms of tho Speaker.
The christian Advocate on Wednesday,
it is expected, will print, tho Hamilton
letter. In order that his views might
be known before election day, the bin hop
gave for publication here a copy oC his
letter, which follows:
"To the Editor of the Northwestern
Christian Advocate: I have been asked,
as several of the bishops have been, tor
the reason why I did not join some of
my colleagues in protesting agahm tho
re-election of Joseph G. Cannon to the
House of Representatives. L have* re-
sided for eight years in San Francis, o
and have not had the same opportunity
to be familiar with the intricate political
understandings among the politicians in
the Eastern and Middle fc?lates, I did
not know that certain member* of t!i;
committee of the great conference which
visited the Speaker of the House of Rep-
resentatives in Washington in May felt
that they had been cavalierly treated, or
more humorously entertained than cyt i-
ported with the serious mission upon
which they had been sunt, and they f• • 11
that the denomination representing fully
one fifth of the population of th'» Nujion
deserved more respectful consideration,
i was quite willing to rebuke trifling in
high places when the evil in question
was one that had cost the world. n» Mr.
Gladstone asserted. greater suffering
and loss than had been incurred by war.
pestilence and famine combined. And
much as 1 respected the chief officer of
the Government, f was as ready to help
defeat any one of them who by 'hint.'
squint or silent conspiracy,' as Air. Taft
has said, had intimated that, he preferred
the support of the saloon to that of the
churches. We have a notorious example
of one such politician, who was once am-
bitious to he the candidate for I he Pres-
idency. but who Is now completely
stranded I knew Mr. Cannon personally
and could not believe that he would lend
himself or his high position to oppose
any honest endeavor to socure n fair ex-
pression of the will of the people on the
one subject so much in the tninds pf the
whole country. I, therefore, wrote Mr.
Cannon a straightforward, Interrogatory
letter, asking him if he had 'direcflv or
indirectly' sought to hinder legislation In
his Committee on Judiciary or In Con-
gress In the matter of the relation of the
Federal Government to the traffic in in-
toxicating liquor in the prohibitory
States. Hn replied so candidly that he
had not opposed legislation and had not
intended to treat the general conference
committee disrespectfully, that f was
lxiund to accept his statement. And wh- n
his declaration was confirmed promptly
bv Mr IJttlefleld himself 1n reply to
the letter I addressed him on tn$ same
subject, T fell justified in declining to
oppose Mr. Cannon's re-election. Re-
