The interest of Washington politicians
is now largely centered In the outcome
of the compaign in New York. where
one of the prettiest fights in years is
In progress. The only element of doubt
in that campaign is furnished by the
personality of Roosevelt. The republi-
cans are banking heavily on his war
record to win votes. That he Will get
some support from enthusiastic young
democrats who admire the Rough
Riders leader Is unquestioned. But
Roosevelt also has elements of almost
fatal weakness and these are expected
TO lose him very many more votes
than his val record Will win. IL Is his
bad fortune to be mistrusted alike by
the partisan republicans and by the
radical reformers. The former fear him
because they believe he would make a
freak" governor. and the latter mis-
trust him because he is the candidate
of the most odious boss in New York
city. Thomas c. Platt.
Judge Var Wyck. the democratic can
didate, is exactly the reverse of Roose-
welt. He Is cool instead of excitable.
conservative rather than radical, and
has an admirable record on the bench.
He is also a reformer. but he Is one
,.H1 Iaas Hfg raforp,ino In a strafUht-
away, business fashion, without any
vulgar noise INC display about IL. He
was honorably Identified with the re-
form movement in Brooklyn in 1881,
and has always stood for good govern
ment. He is well fitted by ability, tenn
permanent and experience for the duties
of executive office, and his friends in
the capital, and there are a great many
here, say he will make n of the best
governors the state has had since TIL
den. Judge Van Wyck was a loyal
supporter OF Mr.. Bryan. The second
candidate on the ticket. Elliott +. Dan
forth. for lieutenant governor. was
head and front of the New York democ-
racy in 1896. He was chairman of the
democratic state committee in that try
ing campaign and made many sacri-
fees in that post of duty.
Ii is claimed that there will be at
least Is democratic members of con-
gress elected in New York this year.
II is also believed that, owing to the
fierce republican q%uarrels in
vania and Connecticut, there Is a
chance for material gains In both states.
For the first time the democratic con-
gressional committee Is now claiming
two seats in Connecticut. Secretary
Kerr, who is from Pennsylvania, re-
CARDS IL seats as about that states
democratic contribution this year.
Ex-Governor John T.. Osborne. vice.
chairman of the democratic congress
sional committee. who has been doing
excellent work here for several weeks.
has left for Wyoming TO open the cam
paign. He will remain constantly on
the stump until the close of the battle.
He is confident that the fight in Wyom-
ing is a winning n n that the
whole democratic ticket Will be elected.
Notwithstanding the barrels of Doodle
that Clark, Warren and Mondell are so
ostentatiously trundling through the
ate Governor Osborne has put up
a thorough organization of the con-
gressional committee and has left the
work in excellent hands 1t will pro-
coed along the lines laid down by him
and everything will be done that looks
to victory. OF course the democratic
committee has not had much money
for campaign purposes democratic
committees never do have) but this
has been made up I'm large measure by
the enthusiasm of many
workers. The campaign has been well
conducted and indications now are all
very encouraging.
The certainty of the election of a
democratic senator from Montana is
very pleasing to the democratic mem
bers of the senate. They have never
forgotten the robbery of 1859. by which
the mountain state was deprived of Its
birthright of democratic representation
in the senate 1t will be just 10 years
later that Montana will return once
more to her ancient democratic moor
ings. II is fully believed by democratic
senators that on the expiration of Car
ter's term the entire delegation of Mon
tana In congress will become democrat
ic, and that the state will long remain
in the democratic column.
