Senator Hobart Krum Of sohoharie and other
upstate Republicans who visited Oyster Bay
yesterday to take part in the notification cere-
monies discussed with Col. Roosevelt and
Chairman Odell Of the Republican State Com
mittee the desirability OF Col. Roosevelt max
ing a ~speechmakinR tour through the state
during the campaign. On their return to New
York the upstate Republican statesmen dis
cussed the matter with Senator Platt. Presi-
dent QuiRg Of the New York Republican Coun-
ty Committee, and other Influential Hepuph-
cans.
Chairman Odell has not made up his mind
as to the best course to be pursued. Most OF
the Republicans who discussed the matter
last night believe that Col. Roosevelt should
make six or seven speeches In the principal
| cities of the State. However, nothing definite
has been settled. It was the opinion OF the up
State Republicans that every man. woman and
child.R epublican and Democrat. wanted TO
see and hear Col. Roosevelt. His fame has
gone abroad, and the Republican voters and
the Democrats who admire Col. HooseVeit
will be keenly disappointed II they don't get
L an opportunity 10 see anu NEAR him. SNhO VI
the old-time Republican leaders do not be-
lieve much In speechmaking tours. Others
are convinced that In this campaign. at least,
| when there Is such q great desire to see and
hear Col. Roosevelt, theepeople should not be
disappointed.
Senator Krum. ex-senator Hendricks and
the other upstate Republicans, not forgetting
the candidates on the State ticket below Gov
ernor and Lieutenant-Governor made 1t clear
last night that the Democrats should not bank
upon the hope that the Republican vote above
the Bronx will not be got out this year. Chair
man Odell, Executive Chairman Barnes and
all the Republican County Chairmen above
that muddy rivulet are alive to the impor-
lance Of getting outsthe upstate vote in all the
cities. towns and villages. The Republican
ORGANIZATIONS below the Bronx, with Presi-
dent QuiRR as Chairman OF the Executive
Committee. which represents all OF the bor-
ouRhs in Greater New York. have already
started the machinery which will bring out
tho greatest. anti-Tammany vote that was
ever recorded in the history Of the Republic
can party in New York city and Brooklyn.
The anti-Tammany vote was divided last fall
and while Robert A. Van Wyck. TRmmany's
candidate for Mayor. was elected. he is never
theless o minority Mayor Of Greater New
York. Had the opposition to Van Wyck been
united a year ago he would been beaten 49,
900. This year the Republicans and indie
pendents are united and present a solid front
against the Tammany and Mclaughlin ma
chimes. Only q handful Of Citizens Unioc
men appear to be bent on mischief. They
are less than one-half OF one per cent. o. the
anti-Republican organization vote last year.
Everything is ready for the great massmeet-
ing in Carnegie Hall tonight The Hon.
Joseph Fl. Choate arrived from Stockbridge
last night. The very names OF the speakers
ct this meeting will d demonstrate to the Demo-
Gratis that all Republicans and all independ-
