AMERICAN ELECTIONS
TESTING THE WIND. (Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.) WASHINGTON, November 5. Several by-elections are scheduled for to-morrow and are arousing much interest, although opinions are varied concerning their importance. Governors will be elected in Kentucky, Alissisippi and Maryland; a Senator for Averment ; and .six new House of Representatives members, four of them in New York and one each in Vermont and Illinois.
The Republicans claim that the issues everywhere are only local, and while attracting much attention in their respective States, will have no effect nationally. The Democrats, however, insist that the returns will show further indications of democratic ascendancy and of a victory for their Presidential campaign in 1924. Prohibition is an issue at Vermont, where some observers expect a victory for the “wets.” Although A r ermont is traditionally “dry” ground, the Volstead law is there unenforceable. The Ku Klux Klan is an issue in the Southern States, where the “Invisible Empire” has grown to such strength that it i sattempting to obtain Government control.
