New York, Oct. l7.-This week inaugu-
rates an amount of hustling on both sides
IN the political campaign in this State
that will rival in animation and Vigor-
Gus work any that has characterized par
~ enterprise in recent history. Both cam
didates viii move actively and lend their
oratorical strength TO that of other shin
ing lights in the respective canvasses.
Col Roosevelt is speeding away 10 the
upper part of the State today, beginning
a week Of speechmaking in which his
managers most devoutiy hope he will be
able TO undo the effects of the hoar frost
that almost caused tears TO now, which
met him in Troy last week. The Rough
Rider Will make a tour Of the country re-
gion TO give the farmers a chance TO see
and hear him and returning make
speeches in. Brooklyn and New York

Poughkeepsie- and Johnstown.

had made his tour of New York State.
The colonel said he would consider the
matter.
Judge Van Wyck will address the null
titudes in Tammany Hall and also in Buff
falo What further plans of the Demo
cratic managers have for him have not
yet been definitely decided, though, in all
probability, they will be arranged today
Indicated by the Registration.
Registration figures of two days in this
city, ending with Saturday, give great
satisfaction to Democrats.
They are particularly pleased over the
results in Brooklyn, which indicate de-
termination on the part of the voters in
Justice Van Wyck's home borough to turn
out in fun force in his support. They say
Kings can be counted on for p. 900 Demo-
cratic majority. The sections which last
year supported Low most strongly prom

On the other hand, Chairman Atterbury
of the Kings County Repblican commit

the registrations are not ended, and the
Democrats are confident that in the TWO
days to come the figures will show much
more favorably in their behalf. RepuDli-

The Judicial Fight.
A bitter contest is going on ever the
New York County judicial ticket. Tn,
Bar Association, under the leadership OF
Joseph H. Choate, Elihu Root and others
is being urged to give its full support
to Justice DAILY, and to fight Leven-
tritt. Many of the lawyers seem anx.

will hold a mass meeting in his behalf
in Carnegie Hall. There is a sectariar
aspect to the contest. which is likely to
be developed fully. in view Of Mr.. Gro

This is, however, a side issue to a large
extent, as many lawyers some who viii
