is said to have had an area of 100 to
three or four stories high, but palaces
and gardens occupied much of the vast
area, 50 that the population was not

mas more influence, because they are lees
lamiiiar with the situation, and it Ia
from this class that the Turner strength.
outside OF the democratic party. has
been recruited. 1t is also with this class
that the republicans are making gains
now that they have speakers presenting
the situation in its proper light.
Democrats Will Scratch Turner.
Here, as elsewhere on the east aide
are number OF democrats who refuse
to support Turner. Some OF them will
satisfy what they consider their ont
ragged feelings with scratching onlv the
head OF the ticket, while Others will make
clean sweep and vote the republican
ticket straight. The extent of this de-
lection from Turner is, of course. difficult
to estimate, but it is believed it will ap-
proximate 800 votes. With such a
change OF sentiment as is now in pro.
gress, it is doubtful about Turner secur-
ing more than 1000 republican votes in
the county.
Deducting the loss of the democratic
votes and the 700 majority remaining
Is believed TO be somewhere near the fig.
ures which will be shown by the final re-
turns. In contrast to these figures it
may be noted that some of the demo-
Gratis are claiming 1000 majority for
Turner and some republicans are un-
willing TO cOncede more than 200 major
ity for the democrat.
Popularity of Roosevelt.
Statisticians will be unable to deter
mine by the presidential vote within sew
eral thousand of tie actual number of
republicans in the state, for there are
hundreds OF democrats in this county
alone who will vote for Roosevelt. The
anti-Parker sentiment is so strong that
one prominent democrat told me that in
all OF his wanderings through the county
he had failed to find one democrat who
would vote for Parker. He DESTROYED
some of the force OF his statement a
moment later, however, by adding that
he knew only few Republicans who
would support Mead.
With such a badly mixed situation
and go many conflicting elements which
have never before been infused into a
campaign in this state, it is not surpris-
ing that neither democrats nor repub-
licans care to risk an estimate with any
serious degree OF confidence.
