Tnmmany'S Attempt to Spoil Republican
Pictures Fails Miserably.
For over q week the Republican campaign
managers have had q stereopticon at work on
Broadway at the northeast corner OF Thirty
seventh street. Three days after the stereop-
ticon had got In working order. Tammany's
Health Board served o notice on the man WHO
runs the machine. advising him to quit to es-
cape trouble. The stereoptlcon man didn't
quit. and Tammany's Health Boards bluff
came to naught.
That this stereopticon has been doing some
telling work for Roosevelt Tammany Hall soon
realized. Pictures Of the Republican State
nominees and q heap Of Republican literature
have been thrown on the screen nightly. The
screen is a large one. and Is on the south wall
Of the flve-story apartment house at 1880
Broadway. The stereopticon operator works
from the roof Of the two-story building three
houses south OF 1880 Broadway.
The stereopticon man. when he started work
last night. Just as Broadway was crowded with
theatregoers threw an excellent likeneSs OF
Col. Roosevelt In his rough riders uniform on
the screen. On the blank space Of the dead
wall appeared a Pickering dim light. Then

whiskers was Town. The Republican

And Don't Forget to Vote on Nov. 8, Rain,
Hail or Sunshine.
The Republican State oampaiRners propose
to wind up the campaign with a great assault
upon the Democratic State managers. who will
not permit their candidate or any of their
speakers to talk on national issues. Lafay-
cite b. Gleason. head OF the Republican speak
ers' bureau. announced yesterday that in adj
dition to Senator Henry Cabot Lodge OF Mas
sachusetts. the Republicans OF the State would
in the closing hours of the campaign he%
Senator William E. Mason Of Illinois, Sena-
tors Henderson and Dolliver OF Iowa, Repre-
sentative Thomas Fitch Of Nevada. Repre-
sentative Boutelle of Maine. Chairman of the
House Committee on Naval Affairs. and, finally,
Postmaster-G General Charles Emory Smith.
Col. Gleason has arranged for big meetings
at Auburn on Nov. 3. at which ex-Senators ].
Sloat Fassett and Charles T. Saxton will be
the principal speakers. Lieut.-Gov. Wood
ruff and Gen. Stewart L. Woodford are to
speak in Schenectady and Kingston Nov. 1
and 8. and there are to be big meetings the
same evenings in Troy and Albany. In addi-
ton. German massmeetinRs in the interest
Of Col. Roosevelt and the Republican State
ticket are to be held In Albany. Troy. Utica,
Syracuse and Buffalo within the next ten
days.
Chairman odell said yesterday that the re-
ports from all of the country districts are very
encouraging. 1t has been observed from day
TO day that Chairman Odell has not issued
~ecstatlc statements claiming the universe for
Roosevelt. Chairman 0dell believes firmly
that Roosevelt is to win and yet he has not
shut his eyes to the energy and industry OF the
Democratic campaign managers over In the
Hoffman House. Chairman Barnes OF the Re-
publican Executive Committee is also not in
clined 70 shout from the housetops. What
Mr.. odell and Mr.. Barnes do say IL that every
Republican voter should sec to 1t that he gets
out on election day and drops In his ballot
against Richard Croker's candidate for Gov
ornor. Every effort will be made to stimulate
the voters to get out on election day. rain or
shine. aud the arrangements for getting out
this vote are now being perfected In all OF tho
citles Of the State and in all Of the country dis
tricts as well.
Nothing should be taken for granted. Mr..
0dell and Mr.. Barnes said yesterday. but every
friend OF sound money should make It his I'm
dividual business not only to vote himself. but
to encourage his neiRhbors TO vote. Battles.
political or military. are not won by laRgards.
but by earnest and enthusiastic Efforts.

A recently enacted ordinance makes IL an

ago the. police Of the EldridRe street and De-

Fromtensto twenty flsh peddlers a day were ar
vaiRned in Essex Market Court. and the Magic
trate was compelled to hold them for trial In
Special Sesalons. The crusade against the
peddlers latted two weeks, Since then there
has not been an arrest on the east side under

used by all the speakers were that there was no

The peddlers hear these arguments every
year just before election. Their experience
