Him In-SiIent Vote a Factor.
Just from the scene of the political
pot-boiling in New York, Mr.. William
Cooper, an officer in the Brooklyn DEM
ocratic Club and vice president of the
Jewelers. Parker and Davis Club, is in
Savannah. stopping at the Pulaski.
In his travels over the country Mr..
Cooper has found much ground for his
belief that Parker will be elected Pres
ident next Tuesday, and was willing
to give reasons for the faith within
him.
You must remember there are no
factions or schisms in the Democratic
party" said Mr.. Cooper. This means
much for success. The gold, silver and
Populist Democrats are all together in
one phalanx. 1 never saw such good
spirit and hard work as at present.
It's all because. we have good, grand
man for a candidate.
L have found very little enthusiasm
in the South, no Autographs, no ban
ners and only a limited amount of
buttons and badges. But have been
talking to men on the cars and else
where. and whenever the surface is
scratched you find them enthusiastic
Democratic Undercurrent.
There can be no doubt that there is
strong undercurrent for Parker and
believe he will show up strong. 1
nave been in New York, Massachusetts,
Connecticut and other states recently
ana nave found that many men who
voted for Mckinley will support
Parker.
In my opinion New York will be
very close, the winner getting the cleo
Coral vote by a narrow margin. 1t
seems to me that Parker has the
better chance to carry the state.
Greater New York will probably roll
up a majority of 100000 for Parker.
Many men who are apparently for
Roosevelt will really vote the Demo-
cratic ticket.
In all preceding elections have
noticed burst Of enthusiasm towards

Judge Parker was accused of not
speaking. They have kept him quiet
up 10 the last. At the eleventh hour
they are bringing him out and what
are the consequences? There is a wave
OF enthusiasm that seems almost ire

Parker VIII Win.
From my tours OF the country Il
appears 70 me a foregone conclusion
mat Parker viii win. An enormous
mount OF money has been spent by
lne National Democratic Committee
alla also BY the Business Mems Ma
,,,onal Democratic Committee IN New

n.oral effect The hundreds OF tons OF
literature sent out has certainly mad
