VICTORY IS
ASSURED
ROOSEVELT Is SURE TO CARRY
NEW YORK AND THE
NATION.
PARKER's MANY ERRORS
The Breaks Made by the Democratic
Candidate In His Efforts as PoIItl.
cal Speaker Have Already Cost
Many Votes.

New York, Oct. 28.-Within the last
three weeks there has been an extra
ordinary set in the tide of public opin.
ion toward the republican state and
national candidates. At the present
time the outlook Is that the chances
favor Roosevelt carrying New York
state by a large majority and he will
in all probability pull through Lieut..
Gov. Higgins, the republican candidate
for governor.
situation in New York state was en-
tirely different. Then 1t was toss up
whether Roosevelt could carry his own
state, not because Of any weakness of
his own, but because Of the revolt in
the republican ranks against Odellism.
Since then Judge Parker himself
steadily has lost ground, not because
of any new position Of his own party
but because Of his demonstration of
his own incapacity to measure up to
the stature Of presidential candidate
Parker's Speeches Hurt Him.
All Of Judge Parker's recent
speeches have hurt him even more
here in New York state than in the
rest of the country. At the same time
D. Cady Herrick, the democratic candi
date for governor, has dropped back
even more rapidly than Parker. Re
newed attention has been called to the
fact that while he was Judge he con
tinued his active participation in dem
ocratic politics.
Tammany men who are on the in
side do not claim any more than from
| 20 00(1 tp Q0 000 nlura1ifv IN Greafa,
New York. If they do not get mucf
more than this Parker will be hope
lessly beaten.

About the time that Dennison was
