THE J.OVIEGER nm THE AVENIIE
The week closes upon the eve OF tho most impor.
tant political events since the election just ono year
ago. The State that saved the Democratic national
ticket by the smallest majority on record now holds
inc leading place In public interest. Whatever the
result may be In New York, II will be regarded by
the country at largo as an expression OF the popular
sentiment In his own state touching the new prcsi-
dents policy. In Virginia the status is different.
