Only Eleven States Elect State Officers During the Present Year.
The current year is notably an "off year" in general politics. Only eleven States elect State officers this year. Kentucky will hold a general election for the State Treasurer August 5. Elections in five other States will take place November 5. On that day—
Iowa will elect Governor and Lieutenant-Governor.
Maryland will elect Comptroller and Attorney-General.
Massachusetts will elect Governor and State officers.
Mississippi will elect Governor and State officers.
Nebraska will elect a Supreme Court Judge and two Regents.
New Jersey will elect Governor and State officers.
New York will elect State officers, except Governor and Lieutenant-Governor.
Ohio will elect Governor and State officers.
Pennsylvania will elect State Treasurer.
Virginia will elect Governor and State officers.
Political interest this year, accordingly, is centered in the elections of the newly-admitted States—North Dakota, South Dakota, Washington and Montana—which are now framing their Constitutions and will elect full State governments and Legislatures, which will choose eight United States Senators. Each new State will also elect a Representative in Congress except South Dakota, which will elect two.
