In This State at From 80, 900 to % 900
Other states-says the Democratic
Campaign Has Collapsed Into Joke.
The work OF the Republican national
committee in the East has practically been
finished, 80 far as details Of organization,
the distribution OF literature and the as
signment Of speakers are concerned. From
Chairman Cortelyou down. the members
Of the committee since they opened head
quarters have followed a policy of silence
about their plans and the results as shown
In reports from the different States. 1t Is
probable that Mr.. Cortelyou will 60 West
at the end Of the week TO superintend the
Republican campaign in Indiana and Illinois.
He has made 1t known that he will have
nothing personally to say on the national
situation before he leaves, but yesterday
Senator Nathan b. Scott, chairman of
the executive committee Of the national
committee, gave out this statement, which
ia the first formal expression which has
come from the managers Of the Republican
campaign:

Roosevelt's majority up State should be ct
