NEW YORK, Nov S.-The Ameri
can people are today exercising thei.
sunrage rights and in the several
states and Territories are voting for
President and Vice President. In
tWenty-seven States gubernatorial

Senators Today marks the climax,
5sifSit can be said to have a climax, OF
3 the most unique and apathetic Prest-
dental campaign held in many years
The Democratic Presidential stan
sdard-bearers are Judge Alton Brooks
Parker. Of New York, and Henry Gas
3ssaWay Davis, of West Virginia, and
the Republican ticket is President
Theodore Roosevelt, of New York.
and Charles Warren Fairbanks, of In
diana. President Roosevelt remain
s4ed quietly at home during the cam
sspaign. but kept in close touch with
stle canvass. Judge Parker made fre-
auent visits: to New York, where he
consulted with the leaders at his ho-.
tel AT all times the strictest secrecy
was observed, and the actual news
that escaped might have been told

Representatives employed by the com
Sn1ittees had little or nothing to do

canvass we're the charges made by
funds and the fiat denial by Presi-
dent Roosevelt. Both sides say they
have proved their cases.
Senator Depew said that the con
stroversy not change ten votes
