districts there has sprung up in the last
few days a lively agitation Of the ad-
visibility Of putting independent tick
cts in the field IF the movement is sue
cessful it may cost the Democrats two
members Of Congress. and this in turn
may keep them out Of control Of the
next House. u is conceded that if the
party wins it viii be by a narrow mar
gin, and the two seats threatened by
the BeImOnts might be just enough 10
perpetuate the Republicans il power.
1t is assumed at Democratic national
headquarters in Washington that the
party managers in New York Will know
how 10 deal with the situation there SO

mote an Independent movement, com

lish growers and few from Germany

" superintendent Of Public Gardens and
Grounds in this city. This is fine

0delI Rampant.

Governor OEeII started in Brooklyn
last night what the New York newspa-
pers call a ''whirlwind campaign" He
not only invaded the stronghold of his
opponent. Mr. Coler. but in doing this
he also boosted that he had defed the
dreadful thirteen superstition Speak
ing Of thirteen" said the governor, re
minds me that all the successful cam
paigns that ! conducted as chairman OF
the State committee were run from a
series CT rooms, the combined numbers
Of which made thirteen. and during the
entire time I slept in room 13" It is
the announced purpose Of Governor Odel
10 continue on the stump almost daily
until the close Of the campaign. but
now that the coal strike is about set
tied it IS supposed he will find some
convenient excuse to change his pro-
gram and lapse back into that condition
Of silence which seemingly best suits
his purpose. As long as the coal strike
was on the governor realized that he
was IN serious danger Of defeat and that
it behooved him to get out and talk to
the people. The Democratic managers
in New York, however, are ust as con
fdent as ever that they have the Ee-
publicans on the run. and they will soon
start M CoIer out over the State in a
'whirlwind campaign"

MAY Lose Two in Ohio.

The Republicans are growing notice
ably apprehensive Of losing the Dayton
and Columbus districts in Ohio. Under
normal conditions these districts are
close. the Democrats having carried
them about as often as the Republicans.
and this year the Republican following
is so aDathetic that Chairman Dick Of
the Ohio State committee has thought It
advisable to redouble his efforts in
them. Senators Foraker. Hanna and all
the other big Republican guns of the
State have visited both districts md
pleaded eIoquently with the RepubH-
cans 10 get their full vote out on No
vember !. but even these extraordinary
efforts don't seem 10 be having the de
sired effect. Chairman Griggs of the
Democratic Congressional committee
says he is certain of redeeming both
districts
