NEW YORK, October 29.-Thc Demo.
cratic campaign managers started In to-
day to claim many States. Every man
at national headquarters from the door
keepers up to Trey Woodson, secretary
OF tho National Committee, made claims
OF an overwhelming victory for the DEM
ocratIc ticket. The claims made by the
Democratic managers were quite uncx-
pected after the long continued policy Of
making no big claims at oil. Even I'LL
nois is put in the Democratic column.
Mr.. Woodson says that Ohio is doubtful
State, with a chance that twill go for
Parker. In all seriousness. he argued
that It was no longer Republican State.
but was in the doubtful list. He said thai
the death OF Mark Hanna. Charles Foster
and former Governor Nash weakened the
Republican party In Ohio and gave the
Democrats there chance.
=s'. The Basis Given.
THE Republicans assume they are
going to win in Ohio" said Mr.. w odson.
ss"but We hear that. they might lose" Mr..
Wroodson paused a few seconds and went
on: "They think they have got California
assured, but they are nightly mistaken.
They don't have the least idea that we
have been organizing and working out
in California, and that we have caught
them mapping, SO to speak. We are very
hopeful Of carrying California.
Maryland is as certainly Democratic
as kentucky Is, and l know my own
State is overwhelmingly Democratic.
Utah is ours and SO Is Nevada.
We Will carry New York, New Jersey,
Connecticut, Indiana, Maryland, West
Virginia. Idaho. Colorado, Utah and Ne
vada. West Virginia Is just as surely
ours as IS Maryland.
Says Victory Is Certain.
',In plain words. all the so-callcd doubt
full States are for us and for Judge Park
crs election. I have every confidence
that Judge Parker will be elected. i 1
have been here one hundred days now
and am ready to announce from observa-
ton and from the reports we have re-
ceived, that Parker Is elected. Not only.
will all the so-called doubtful States, be
in the Democratic column but many OF
the States TINT are classed as surely Re-
publican, are now in the doubtful coll
umn."
Z In reference to his claim OF Indiana,
Mr.. Woodson said he had just heard from
Chairman Taggart, and that Mr.. Tag
CART would be back by Monday night.
Z Former Governor Benton Mcmillan. OF
Tennessee, Is here after a long speaking
tour through New England. He agreed
with Mr.. NVoodson that Parker was al
ready n winner.
Secretary Woodson would not give out
any exact figures on the electoral vote,
but he wouldn't consider less than $50 as
T. minimum for Judge Parker.

gone back TO the old home from Geor-
