NEW YORK, Oct 10, 1904 Charles
N. Bulger, one of the special commission
ers sent out by the Democratic National
Committee to ascertain the condition of
the country politically, declares that the.
German vote will help Judge Parker in
many of the States for which both par
ties are fighting hard to gain the elec
toral vote. He said at Democratic head
quarters today
''The German vote and the trend of
the Labor party of the country are the
source of great encouragement to those
who have in charge this campaign. So
far as the Teutons are concerned one can
get pretty good idea of Illinois. I be
lieve, as does Mayor Harrison, of Chi
cago, that there is good fighting chance
standing the fact that it has been Re-
publican every election but one, since the
war. The German vote constitutes about
one-third or one-fourth of the entire vote
of the State. Quite early in the cam
paign the representative German papers
| of the State declared for Parker, and
the Germans, who, as a rule in that
State, have voted the Republican ticket,
bara I;I-o1r;ca occartnd in M ,1noertain
terms that this year Judge Parker will
receive their ballots. What has disgust
ed the Teutons with the Republican par,
ty is Roosevelt's insistance upon his mill
tary policy. The Germans despise I'M
perialism and militarism. They left their
native country to get away from the at
| mosphere. of militarism, and they are
naturally opposed to anything that may
flavor of it in this country. There is
big German vote>in Wisconsin and Indi-
ana, and what is true in Illinois can also
be said in this respect of both of those
States.
The Republicans have tried their best
to patch up the differences between the
LaFollette, and Stalwart factions in Wis
| consin, but even though Senator Spooner
displayed willingness to throw down
the cudgel, the, other Stalwart leaders
have disregarded the requests of Roose-
yelt and Cortelyou, and now refuse to
| withdraw the Stalwart ticket. l can see
nothing but victory for us in Wisconsin.
| Mr.. Taggart's visit to Indiana for few
days next week will cinch the Hoosier
State. Another encouraging sign is the
war which the labor men of Pennsylvania
have started against the Republican
| party This really commenced several
months ago in that State but it is now to
be carried into New York, New Jersey,
| Connecticut, Indiana and Illinois. The
inception was because of a controversy,
between the trades unions of the State
lion Capitol at Harrisburg. The Repub-
lican machine of the State told the labor
unions that if they secured any part Of
the work they would have to come in as
non-union laborers. 1t was body blow
against labor unions. The fight against
the Republican machine has already
been carried into New Jersey, and be-
fore the end of this week the labor or
gdnizations in every so-called doubtful
State will be appealed to- Already as
surances have been received from New
Jersey, New York and Connecticut, de-
claring that they are ready to indorse the
boycott against the Republican National
ticket.
