Republican Figures in
New York Falling.
Nanky Panky Pou with His His Trust
Money Bag Trots Over Indiana
Though Badly Needed in
New York.

Washington. Nov 2-The speech of
Judge Parker at Madison Square Gar
den gave great encouragement to
Democrats. 1t is evidently the best OF
his speeches except the one last Fri
day to the farmers at Rosemount and
II is expected will serve to bring out
the whole vote in Greater New York.
The enthusiasm now characterizing
Democratic activity in that Quarter is
having an effect to beget enthusiasts SIN
in other contested states. If Mr. ~r-,r-
ply is as we'll posted as it is believed
here that he is on city politics, Par
ker and Davis will roll up an enor-
nous majority below the Bronx His
intimation that this majority may
exceed lao thousand, coming from
20 counties a man. is the best thing
we have had recently in the way of
political yatfcinatic- The Repub1i-
cans are counting on Democratic
majority in Greater New York of less
than 100, 600 and a Republican major
ity upstate of not less thu 100000
But If the Democrats get 150,0 600 in
the lower or Democratic portion Of
the State, they will ~et the electoral
vote. They may secure it with a small
Ter city majority. The Republicans
are not ute as sure this week as they
We're last of carrying New York. The
Democratic revival has depressed the
betting some points. and will depress
it still further. The fear Democrats
have had all the time is that the re-
turns from the interior will be hel1
back for emergencies. as thew have
been several times before. But as the
Democratic managers are watching
the result very closely there seems
only Il slight danger of hugger-mug-
gering with the figures upstate. An
attempt to cheat Parker out of the
oil a lNFe
defiant challenge and a bitter resist
ance.
The intelligence received here from
Indiana that there is trouble in
the Republican camp and. the
presence there, when he is needed n
New York, of Chairman Cortelyou. -
another Frightening SiPn for Democ-
racy Indiana is by no means GER
tain Roosevelt State, although the
home of the Presidents running mate.
Fairbanks may do some small good
this week by his desperate efforts to
hold his reluctant people in line. but
it should be borne in mind that for
every lick he is striking a blow often
sive is struck by Chairman Taggart
And Tom knows his r~diana full as
we'll as Fairbanks knows it, ii not
little better. The chances improve IN
the Hoosier commonwealth for the
Democratic electoral ticket Every
day shows progress there.
