The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1901-11-03

criticism, there is no need of reply.
I'VE have renominated a clean, able
and business governor. We have at
the head of our ticket man who has
called a halt in state expenditures, has
fought for the principle of home rule
for cities, has abolished unnecessary
commissions and consolidated and rec
ognized others, has gathered up the
loose ends of administrations into COM
pact, business knots.
1.-THE state administration has won
the faith of the people. Our campaign
has been to see that this feeling be
turned into expression at the ballot box
on Nov s. This we have tried to do
not with the flourish of trumpets and
noise of brass band campaign, but in
quiet and dignified fashion, BETTING
the issues and the times
1.-THE one danger Is that there is so
great satisfaction with the present ad-
ministration, there is such an unanimi=
ty of feeling, that the voters may be
careless in expressing this sentiment.
Contentment with existing conditions
makes inactivity; it is dissatisfaction
that is alert This we have tried to
counteraet by thorough work and per-
sonal appeal Tt is the last time the
| people Of the state will have an oppor-
| tunity to vote for Governor Crane, and
we are confident that this last endorse
ment that they will give him will be a
| splendid one"
Chairman McNary said today: "The
registration in Boston is so heavily
Democratic that if the votes come out
| properly Mr.. Quincy will carry Boston
| by 5000 or 10000 majority. If the votes
| do not come out well, he should at least
| have 1000 majority in the CITY. In all
probability it will be nearer the larger
! figures.
| "Reports received from senatorial
! districts indicate that the Democrats
will retain the seven seats out of the
nine they hold in Suffolk County The
Democrats will hold also the fifth Es-
! sex and the seventh Middlesex districts
| These districts are now held by the
| Democrats, but the Democratic State
Committee believes they will surely
! gain the second Bristol or Fall River
| district. and the second Hampden"
Coin ginto the details, Mr.. McNary
said: "In the second Worcester district
Rep David l. Walsh of Clinton has
more than an even chance of defeating
John P Munroe of Worcester. Walsh
has shown a great capacity of getting
Republican votes. and the country
towns in the northern part of the dis
trict are extremely angry with Wor-
cester city Republicans for refusing to
allow a man from the country towns to
be nominated At the Democratic
headquarters we count on Mr.. Walsh's
Walsh's election.
Joseph P. Love of Webster, in the
fourth Worcester is making a strong
fight against George K. Tufts of New
Braintree, the Republican nominee, and
there is an even chance of Loves cleo
ton. In addition to these we expect to
carry the Middlesex- Essex district, and
the Berkshire district. In the Franklin
Hampshire district the Democratic
nominee, William A. Davenport Of
Greenfield, who showed his popularity
by coming to the House of Representa-
tives two years in succession, from a
district 500 Republican, is making
strong fight against Senator Morse of
Belchertown.
IF we hold the Boston senatorial dis
tricts we ought to have at least IL, and
probably IA, Democrats in the Senate.
Now, as regards the representative
districts, without entering into detail,
our reports indicate a gain in every
county in the state.
1.-THE one thing we have tried to do
this year is to strengthen and develop
the party organization in the cities and
towns, and despite the listlessness of
the voters, we have succeeded in doing
this, and We shall be in excellent shape
for the campaign of next year, which
is our real objective point"
