Republicans more confident as a re.

President Roosevelt for settlement

feeling in favor of Republicans on this

New York, New Jersey, Maryland and
all New England.

guine Democratic leaders are counting
on 10000 to 10000 in Manhattan and
the Bronx, and some of them put thu
greater city plurality of Coler at $4,000
and 100000. Whatever 1t Is. the Re.
publicans must beat II up State. They
say they can beat 10000 in the city
and elect Odell with 10000 to spare.
In Pennsylvania Senator Quay has
revised his figures. and instead Of
claiming Pennypacker's election by

The political situation In Ohio Is
considerably unsettled. with the Re.

again, though still anxious. Chairman
Dick said today: I'VE have the situa.

nominee. started his campaign early,
and he had been on the stump three
weeks before Governor Lafollette got
started.
Governor Lafollette Is putting up
one Of the most remarkable campaigns
that has been made anywhere in this
country. He stands for the enact.
ment OF a primary election law and
for the passage of bills to Increase the
taxes of the railroads Of the State by
s1,000.000. He has. without becoming
personal, denounced members of his
own party who opposed these meas.
ures. The return of Senator Spooner
Is involved In the contest, and both he
and Senator Quarles are on the stump.
They advise the voting of the entire
Republican State ticket. The result
probably will be that Governor La:ol.
lette will be reelected and that Sem
tor Spooner will be returned to the
United States Senate.
In Indiana the chairman of each
State committee is claiming the State
by large majority at the approaching
election. Conservative opinions agree
that the result Is in doubt; that the
vote will be light, and that the major.
ity will be small. Indications point TO
Republican control of the Senate and
Democratic control of the House. hut
both parties are claiming a majority
on a joint ballot and the consequent
election of a United States Senator.
While the Democrats expect to make
gain OF five Congressman, their
claims do not appear to be justified en-

raised this issue when he brought suit
