DEMOCRATS ARE DOUBTFUL.
Walter WeIIman says Leaders Regard
Chances Against Them.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 30.-Walter
and Chicago Record Herald: I'VE
feel sure of carrying New York state.
but cannot as yet see where Parker
is to get majority of the electoral
college and win the battle. We are
not discouraged On the other hand
we do not see much practical ground
for encouragement. All we can do is
TO fight on, hoping that during the mex,
two months there may be a change In
our favor which will yet give us the
verdict"
This is the substance of confidential
information which get from the ''in.
side" of the Democratic national man
agement. 1t accurately represents the
present state of feeling among the
men who are conducting Judge Par
ker's campaign Whatever they may
have to say for publication. among
themselves these managers are not
chasing rainbows. They realize thai
the odds are against them, and pretty
heavily against them, as the case
stands today. But many things may
happen. they argue, during the next
sixty days, and the fight will be des.
perate one in certain close states dur
the campaign. A Democratic friend
of mine, in close touch with his party
headquarters at New York. summariz
ed the situation for me as follows:
Our chances to carry New York are
as good as 3 to 2. Rut. confound the
luck, granting that we get New York
the odds against our winning out are
still to l."
There can be no doubt that the Dem
ocraiic managers feel great confidence
as to the outcome in New York State
some of them do not admit even the
possibility of defeat in that safe and
others are talking about the Parker
plurality. which they place at all the
way from $4,000 to 5000. There are
reasons. practical reasons why the
Democrats feel so sure of New York
and | shall summarize them with the
permise that all this is information
which comes from Democratic sources
and must be regarded as such by the
reader.
|. large number of conservative
men of the property-owning class have
been impressed by the argument that
President Roosevelt is unsafe" and
that If he gets second term he will
never be happy till he has involved
the country In war, and gained the OPP
portunity which 1t Is said he has crav.
de all his life to go to the front In
specially designed uniform as com.
inander in chief.
2. For these and more practical rea-
sons large section of the financial
| and business world is opposed to
Roosevelt and will spend money and
exert influence to compass his defeat.
3. Governor Odell Is unpopular and
| dislrusted, and is heavy load for
the Republicans to carry no matter
who is nominated for governor.
4. The machine politicians of the
Republican party OF New York do not

WOLVES ATTACK
IL: LONE \ E. SETTLERS
Animals. in. the North GOun-
11@ try Are More Bold .
rug Than Usual.

Wolves are causing more trou-
BILE to settlers of the north coun-
try than in several years past ac-
cording to statements of home
steaders who have visited the
local land office recently It is
claimed that the animals this
year are more bold than usual
and haye even attacked men,,
when alone in the woods.
The only explanation for. the
boldq attitude of the animals is
that fewer deer than usualhave
been killed in the woods this year
by hunters, who desire onlygsthe
head or horns as 5trophies band
leave the carcasses in the woods.
This is accounted for, not by a
more human attitudeofsthe hunt
ers, but because through absence
of snow in the woods during the
open season lesssopportunity was
afforded to kill the big game.
Andrew Hamilton, who resides
near Ripple on his claim, was in
the city yesterday and related
several instances in which wolves
have come to his ca bin in search
of food. Mr.Hamilton had a
couple of deer carcasses hanging
from the roof Of the shanty one
night andthe next morning the
the meat was gone and he found
the remains of the carcasses in
the woods nearby where they had
been almost entirely consumed
by the wolves.
|. G A. hunter; whose : name Mr.
Hamilton could not give, q when
stopping at his claim, asserted
that he had been attacked by
wolves early one evening and
only his feetness of foot saved
his lfe.r s.rc,,T rraor2 sl,gaiq
The settlers, assert that the
difficulty experienced in bring
ing pelts to township or county
clerks office prevents fa many
homesteaders from attempting
toykill wolves and secure bounty.
They claim that the amount re-
ceived for the pelts does not
nearly cover the expense Of MAX
ling trip and that few claim
holders kill the animals except
when they happen to run onto a
pack near their homes. s.p aZsr j
