Independent and non-partisan lovers OF

since Mr. Rooseyelt's nomination their

They hav flooded the lanu with litera-

NEW YORK

An alarm has been sounded by the
New York World on the Democratic
outlook in the State of New York. In
substance it is that while the Repub-
licans are thoroughly organized the
Democrats have done nothing. This is
true, but it is only part of the truth.
The Democrats are not Only not Or
g%anized. but in the City of New York
where the votes must come from to
give them a majority, if they are tc
have one, the Democratic leaders are
fighting each other rather than the Re
p%ublicans. The Parker managers be
gin to see hat Dave" Hill let them
into a bad hole when he formed an
ply. He did this in order to secure d
Parker delegation to the national CON
vention. In order to get McCarren's
support he had to promise him the
craftsmanship of the Executive Com
mittee of the Democratic State Com
mittee.
Advices from the State at large all
agree in saying thai the Republicans
are united and confident. Charles NJ.
Pepper, the well knovvn travelling news
paper correspondent. who is an OBJ
server merely and not a partisan. has
just finished a tour of the State. He
found few so-called gold Democrats

the party four years ago. He reports
less enthusiasm for Parker thar he
for Bryan in the campaign of

is in favor of the State goinS Re

ocratic alarm and for the offer OF large
