WHAT w. H. RYAN SAYS

1.-THE alleged inactivity of the democrats
| in this campaign, SO far as New York state
is concerned has no more foundation than
the fact that the democrats are saving
wood and not induging in a campaign OF
talk" said Representative William Henry
Ryan of Buffalo, when seen by a Star re-
porter at the headquarters of the demo-
cratic congressional committee today.
Mr. Sheehan put the situation in nut
shell when he said in an interview that
he would talk about the election after the
votes are counted. Work and not talk is
what counts and that is what is being de-
pended upon in this election.
Efforts in New York State.
"In New York state complete organiza-
ton is being effected. Every county of the
state is being organized and l believe the
result of this systematic work will be
show next November. 1t Is too early to
talk with any defniteness about the way the
state is going, but from present indications
l am satisfied that Parker will carry it. He
has all the strength of Cleveland and
wherever there have been democrats in the
past there are democrats now.
Il know Of no division anywhere in the
party or of any lack of interest in the
campaign that is liable to affect the vot-
ing strength of the democratic party. 1t is
simply a question as to whether we can
keep the republican vote in the upper part
of the state down so that our New York
city majority will give the state to Parker
and Davis.
anybody, but l feel sure the democrats
are in position now to carry the state.
Mr. Ryan had long talk with Chairman
Cowherd at the democratic headquarters.
He expressed the opinion that the demo-
Gratis in New York state would not only
hold all the seats they row have in the
House of Representa- tives, but that they
would probably gain several districts now
represented by republicans.
The democratic committee has hired a
large, light, airy room on G street, nearly
opposite their headquarters, for the use of
employees getting out campaign literature
They have formerly had this work done in
the basement of the Riggs House, but the
place there was not large enough nor was
it otherwise Suitabl
A large amount of literature is going out
of the new folding room. 1t is being sent
to all the states in which fight is being
made by the democrats
Trying to Win Indiana.
In Indiana alone it is said that within a
reasonably short time there will be sent
100000 speeches for Tom Taggart to cir
culate in his effort to carry that state for
the democrats. Chairman Taggart is not
resting in his efforts to carry Indiana for
Parker. He long ago declared that there
was chance to secure that state, in spite
of the fact that the republican vice presi-
dental candidate was taken from it.
A part of his plan is to fill the state with
democratic speeches. and he is preparing to
do it. He is being given every available
assistance in his work by the national
committee of which he is chairman While
he might exercise his own authority in re-
spect to Indiana. regardless Of the view
4 ba fac ;o
that he has the earnest support of other
members of the national committee Most
OF them rather doubt his ability to make
good his claim that Indiana is fighting
ground and that he can carry 1t for Par
Ker but as Mr.. Taggart has expressed con-
idence in his ability to do so they are
willing to see how far he can carry ONT his
expectations.
From now until the campaign is closed
the democratic activity in Indiana. it is
SAID, may be expected to become more and
more intense.
Work of the Congressional Committee.
The probability that the congressional
committee will be moved to New York city
is growing less. But 1t has not vet been
decided whether it will be moved there or
be Kept here. In any event the work of
distributing campaign documents will be
done In this city, where there are said to
be better facilities for printing and distrib-
uting documents than in any place the
committee could locate
The national committee hes given some
large orders for printing to the congress
slonal committee and as soon as possible
these orders will be filled The committee
mas several speeches ready for the press
IN ADDITION to those that have been circu-
lated in the past, and in a few days they
Will be ready for distribution One OF
these speeches relates to irrigation, and is
intended to show what the democratic
party has done to Onward irrigation in the
west. " "
