SAYS HIS STATE is SAFE.

NEW YORK, Oct IL, 1904.-Nation-
al Committeeman. True L. Norris, of
New Hampshire, happened to be one of
the early callers at National Democratic
headquarters Thursday when Judge
Parker made his initial visit.
"One would want nothing more than
to witness the unassuming way in which
Judge Parker walked into headquarters"
said Mr.. Norris, ito be impressed with
the thorough Democratic spirit of the
presidential nominee. was sitting in
the office Of the Sergeant-at-Arms Martin
when the Judge came in. With almost
the simplicity of a child he greeted us
and was shown by Col. Martin into, Mr..
Belmont's office. He went through every
department in the entire building, and
overlooked nothing or nobody. He stop
ped to talk with the bootb1acks, the mes
senger boys, and every menial in the var
ious offices. He did not say sdelighted,'
nor did be speak with the patronizing
air of royalty, but with a hearty hand
shake, he said, how do you do, in true
American style. Behind him he left an
atmosphere of congeniality and compan-
ionship. He has wonderful personality
and once meeting him is to remember
him forever.
$50 far as the political situation is
concerned, the Democrats in New Hamp-
shire have never been so thoroughly or
ganized and have never done such effec-
tive work as they are doing this election
New Hampshires had not been giving
more than two thousand FIVE hundred
to three thousand Republican plurality
ways before considered very close state
so close in fact, that in off years the Re-
pubHeans had not been able to give the
Republican candidate for governor pop
ular majority, but had to rely on carry
ing the contest to the Legislature. Quite
number Of Democrats. who left the
party in 1896, have now returned and
are working enthusiastically for The
election of Parker and Davis.
II confidently expect and predict the
election of the Democratic candidates.
/ believe that we will carry all the so
called doubtful States, namely: New
York,-which is really no longer doubt
ful-New Jersey, Connecticut, Rhode
Island, Delaware, West Virginia, Indi-
ana, Wisconsin, Montana, Idaho, Col
orado and Utah. The Democratic can
didates will have very comfortable
majority in the electoral college. The
campaign this year clearly resembles
that of 1892, in the apparent lack of
enthusiasm. This, however, does not indi-
cate lack of interest in the outcome
of fNthe election, and firmly believe that
the vote will be heavy and the Demo
cratic victory as sweeping as when Pres
ident Cleveland was elected for the sec
ond term. The people of the country
are reading good deal more this election
and it is not necessary. to have speech
! making except in those sections of the
country where the vote is expected to sbe
| very close.
You will notice that the Republicans
are not doing any more speaking than
are the Democrats The Democratic
chances are improving by jumps. The
| activity of the Democrats in Illinois will
greatly assist the party in Indiana. II
the Democrats win, they viii do SO be
cause it is the party that proposes to dc
things. The Democratic party has ceased
to be merely the party of opposition and
criticism, and is today a strong forcible
party with. the distinct ideas on ques-
tions of legislation. The Republicans
merely propose to remain where they are
There are not many Republicans, who
believe even in protection, but on the 9th
er hand object to the abuses which have
grown up under that sytem.i The leadeas
Of the. party, however, dare not even cor
rect the abuses for fear that. the abuser
may turn on the party and start move
ment which would result almost in its an
inhalation.
