General George Stone, chairman of
the Republican State Central Commit
tee, returned from the East last Satur-
day night. In Chicago he exchanged
views with Chairman Cortelyou of the
national committee and Mr.. Tawney,
director Of the speakers bureau. Gen
eral Stone says that an adjustment of
the factional differences in the Repub-'
lican ranks Of Wisconsin has taken
place and there is no longer any doubt
that the State will give a substantial
majority for Roosevelt and Fairbanks
The Republicans expect to carry Illi-
nois by at least 100, 600 majority. The
Democrats no longer place Illinois in
the list of doubtful States, but concede
it to the Republicans.
Chairman Cortelyou is paying very
close attention to affairs in New York,
Indiana and West Virginia The pros
poets Of Republican success in New
York and Indiana are encouraging, and
there is nothing in the West Virginia
situation to excite alarm. The Demo-
cratic claim of advantage in Connecti-
cut, Delaware, New Jersey and Rhode
Island is not justified by reports which
come to the Republican headquarters
from impartial sources.
1t is probable that George A. Knight
and Mayor Eugene z. Schmitz of Cali
fornia will be assigned to duty as
speakers in Indiana and West Virginia.
The electoral vote of California is al
ready assured for Roosevelt and Fair
banks, but there will be disappoint-
ment II the Republicans fail to elect
eight Representatives to Congress.
General Stone announces with deal of
satisfaction that Charles w. Fairbanks
Of Indiana, Republican nominee for
Vice President, and United States Sen
ator Dolliver Of Iowa will visit Califor-
mia and speak in San Francisco Mon
day evening, October g. These eminent
leaders will talk to the people in sew
eral other cities of the State.
II is known to the Republican State
Committee that the Democratic organi-
cation is putting forth special effort to
achieve success in the First and Sec
ond Congressional Districts, hence the
Republican organization will endeavor
to awaken the voters of the party of
prosperity to a full sense of their duty
in this direction.
All the signs are indicative of Repub-
ican success in the Fifth District. E.
A. Hayes is a capable man, an able
campaigner and a citizen whose char
acter is above reproach. In adjusting
fractional differences in Santa Clara
County Mr.. Hayes is giving an exam
pie of able leadership. He will not make
the mistake of undertaking the strength
Of the Union Labor nominee in the Fifth
District. 1t is expected that the old
line, hard-shell Democrats, who find
fault with everything, will support
Wynn, and he may run quite as well
as Lane ran in the last city campaign,
coming to the finish a beautiful third.
Williams, the Union Labor nominee,
possesses elements of popularity, but
he cannot bring into the fight the quail
ties Of leadership which Mayor Schmitz
displayed in the city campaign of 1903.
Many Of the Republican workingmen of
the Thirty-second. Thirty third, Thirty
fourth, Thirty-fifth, Thirty-sixth, Thir-
ty-seventh, Thirty-eighth and Thirty
ninth Assembly Districts who support
ed Schmitz in the last municipal cam
paign are supporting the Republican
nominee in the present contest.
