It viii he remembered that the Eagle
is The only publication in the Greater
city that predicted the election OF
Mayor Mcclellan and its paet record
Shows it to be one Of the best political
r athematicians in the country
The Eagle explains the manner In
9 hicb the canvass was had as follows
The canvass for 1903 has been con
Quoted in all ways precisely as those
that have preceded it. 1t is in fact a
preliminary canvass for the reason
that it is based on the first two days
Of registration only
There were sent out 10000 cards
or 20 to each district in the borough.
The addresses to which they we're
taken from the registry lists at ran
dom and. as the political proclivities
OF the voters addressed We're not
Known to those who selected the adj
dresses, there was an entire absence
Of discrimination in the selection. me
Eagle has reason to believe this be-
cause Of its experience in the past.
The total registration for the two
days, Oct IA and IS, was l56,753. It
is assumed that in this registration
is represented 14S.915 Of the whole
probable vote Of 24439S. This as
sessment is not purely guess work, for
it is obtained by deducsing from the
figures Of the registry the difference
between the registration and the vote
cast at previous presidential elections
llhis vote Of 1895 is So 4S-10O per
cent. Of the whole probable vote
Therefore, the computations by which
the results as above are obtained are
based on less than GA per cent Of the
whole probable vote 1t is because
the figures as above are obtained from
computations upon this GA per cent.

liminary"
The Eagle takes the position that
lthe shifting" voter is going to be the
largest factor in the New York fight
and insists that those shifting from
Mckinley in 1900 to Parker in 1904
and from Odell in 1902 to Herrcl in
I1s04 viii be great deal larger than
those shifting from Bryan to Roose-
Welt and from Coler to Higgins in the
lsame dates.
From this point Of view the follow.

the Eagle says:
Hitherto the Eagle has permitted
ita postal card canvass to tell it's own
story practically without comment. On
this occasion 1t has an opinion to OK
press. Indeed, it may be said to have
a conviction. The logic of the figures
is that there Is to be a change IN the
PARTY auspices under when affairs
have been administered at Washing

iine the Eagle is now convinced. II is
sincere in the belief that Alton b. Par
ker will on Tuesday Of next week be

The only anchor it has to cast to the
