But Republicans Have Assurances
That the Up State Districts Will BIO
So Overwhelmingly Republican as
to Insure Election of Republican
Electors.

and he will. in all probability, pull
thru Lieutenant Governor Higgins, the
republican candidate for governor.
About thirty days ago, the political
situation in New York state was en-
tirely different. Then it was a toss uI
whether Roosevelt could carry his owr
state mot because Of any weakness OF
his own, but because of the revolt ii
the republican ranks against Odelism
Since then Judge Parker himself has
1 steadily lost ground, not because OF
any new position Of his own party, but
because of his demonstration of his
own incapacity to measure up the
stature Of a presidential candidate.
| All of Judge Parker's recent speech
es have hunt him even more here In
New York state than In the rest OF
the country. At the same time -
Cady Herrick the democratic car 4
date for governor. has dropped Jack
even more rapidly than Parker. Re-
newed attention has been called to the
( Fact that while he was a judge he con-
th.@ed his ,tive participation in
democratic rs.
| Tammany men who are on the inside
do not claim any more than from S0,-
900 to 10000 plurality in Greater New
| York. If they do not get much more
than this Parker will be hopelessly
beaten.
Tammany polls show Herrick will
run ahead In greater New York to the
extent perhaps of 10000 votes. This
is supposed to be the measure Of the
general republican dissatisfaction in
Brooklyn. Jimmy" Woodruff, who
was beaten for governor by the orders
of Odell, has taken his coat off for the
state ticket and is open to no suspic-
ion of disloyalty. Hundreds and poss-
IDLY thousands OF Brooklyn republic
cans, however, have not taken the
matter so easily, and they are dispos-
ed to punish Odell by voting for
Roosevelt and Herrick, ami it is this
sentiment which has induced Tam
many forecasters to estimate that Her
rick will run ahead OF Parker in great
err New York by about 10000 votes.
What Roosevelt's vote will be up
state Is a thing which neither side can
| estimate with any degree of accuracy.
Personal reports sent in to D. B. Hill
from his lieutenants in Albany, Troy,
Ellmira, Syracuse, and some other lar
ger towns are, as I happen to know,
extremely encouraging to democrats.
In all Of these places there has been
great lack Of democratic harmony In
previous years, and the state and nat
ional tickets were pretty sure to be
cut into by one faction or other. Mr..
Hills lieutenant report the party uni
ted In each Of these large centers, and
heavy vote can be expected for Par
ker and for Herrick.
Republican reports from IN state
deal chiefly with the conditions in the
agricultural sections. The Indicate
that there is almost overwhelming
tide of rural opinion in behalf of the
president.
Recent attacks on Roosevelt's per-
sonality have done him more good
than harm.
The farmers started out with the
idea that President Roosevelt repre-
sented in his own person a reasonable
monopolies, and they have not been d.
verified from this notion, even to the
slightest degree by Parken's extra
ordinary charge that the republican
campaign was being run by corpora
MS and that the president had delib-
ately put Secretary Cortelyou in
large Of the department Of commerce
the purpose of obtaining inside
information which later on could be
used to extort campaign contributions.
Big Roosevelt Vote Up State.
Unless all signs fail, Roosevelt will
have a record breaking vote up the
state, it is likely to be considerably
over $4,000, and unless Parker can ap-
proximate that in Greater New York
there is not the slightest chance of his
carrying the state.
Betting on the general and state re-
suits has almost stopped in Wall
street. The campaign is unique in that
respect. Attic it is less than two
weeks before election, and altho the
brokers in the financial district have
been so prosperous of late that there is
plenty of money to throw away, there
is practically no betting at all. This
is particularly curious because the
odds are so enormous as to form a
constant temptation to that class of
,eople who are forever taking long
d
little money for the sake of the pos
sible chance of winnin@ great deal.
Roosevelt Odds 5 to I.
1t seems almost incredible. but it is
rue. that ODDS of to 1 on Roosevelt
o far as the general result is con-
cerned. should be constantly offered
without takers. Yet any man who has
a thousand dollars he wishes TO risk
can have it matched With $4,000 inside
of half an hour after he reaches the
curb. Nothing like this hos been
known in the history of Wall streesr
betting
