WESTERN CLAIMS HUMOROUS
Assertion That Parker Is Strong il
West or Middle West Is Flatly
Denied.

Reports from New York indicate that
the fight in that State will be one of the
hottest and closest in the history Of
American politics.
From the present outlook it seems not
unlikely that President Roosevelt will
carry it by good majority, while the
State ticket will have a close run.
From all the principal campaigners Of
the Republican party only the best re-
turns are heard. The central West, as
well as the far West, shows the Presi-
dent is in high favor.
Glowing reports were heard from
members of the Republican National
Committee when they met with Senator
Charles w. Fairbanks and Secretary
Leslie NJ Shaw.
Republicans Satisfied.
Both of these campaigners met in
Chicago. where their roads crossed. the
former leaving for the West and the
latter just starting for the East. They
told the members of the committee Of
the great meetings they had addressed
from Portland. Ne, 10 Portland, Ore,
and from San Francisco TO Baltimore.
Secretary Shaw said that the West
was solid for Roosevelt and predicted
more than likely to be found 10 the
Republican column.
Senator Fairbanks was equally enthu-
siastic. While ne made no predictions he
did not seem to regard Maryland a
forlorn hope for the Republicans.
Barnes Feels Hurt.
Democratic strength in New York is
due to the ending Of all strife in the
ri.
ton of Justice Herrick for governor has
worked a miracle in Albany city and
county especially, and about the only
political leader there that Justice Her
rick's nomination did not please was

boss and chairman OF the executive COM
mittee Of the Republican State commit
tee.
It is predicted that the 1000 plurality
this county gave Odell in 1903 viii be re-
duced this year to from 1SO0 to $500.
Heretofore the county, on a straight
party division. has been about 1,5OO Re
publican and the city about 1000 Demo-
cratic, but factional fights in the Demo-
cratic party have enabled the Repubii-
cans to carry the city as well as the
county in recent years by substantial
plurality.
All at Work.
Murphy and McCarren have buried the
tremendous efforts to make good his pre-
diction at Saratoga that Kings county
will roll UP a plurality of from $500 10
10000 for Justice Herrick and his asso-
,ciates ON the State ticket He has al
ready succeeded in bringing about a ces-
sation of all local fractional hostilities,
and his controversy with Charles F.
Murphy is to cut no figure in the cam
paign.
The Hon. Hugh Mclaughlin, who was
deposed from the leadership by Senator
McCarren last October, will work en-

from his duties as chairman Of the State

in Kings county. He will take the
stump and attend all the big rallies.

All Right in Nebraska.
In the West Speaker Cannon has found
things the best. He is in Omaha today
and sends word that the State is going
TO give the usual majority against Bry-
an. The Speaker is in Nebraska for a
seven-day speechmaking tour Of the
southern and eastern parts Of the State.
He spoke in Falls City last night, and
his final speech will be IN Lincoln on
September q.
Part of the Nebraska trip will be made
by special train, but for the rest Mr..
Cannon's private car will be attached TO
regular passenger trains.
II is announced that Joseph y. Folk Of
Missouri, and Governor La Toilette, OF
Wisconsin, will soon deliver speeches in
Nebraska in aid OF Mr.. Berge, the fusion
candidate for governor.
