FUTURE
HANGS ON QUEBEC
French Canadian Province Is Elk
pected to Give Him In
creased Majority.
New York Sun Special Service,

Ottawa, Ont, Oct. 17.-.Vietory or de-
feat for, Premier Laurier in the Do
minion general elections on Nov. 8 I'M
doubtedly hinges upon the verdict of
the French Canadian province of Que
bee, the great stronghold Of the present
liberal administration. It is conceded
by the conservatives that continuance
Of the present solid Quebec for Laurier
means liberal federal victory once
more, and the liberals go SO far as to
assert that an increased majority for
Laurier in that province is assured. At
the last general election out of Quebec IS
sixty-fve seats ffty-eight returned
Laurier men. Mr.. Borden, the opposi-
ton leader, hopes to break the ranks
this time and elect twenty-seven opposi-
tion members from Quebec, which, with
the expected increase from the other
provinces, would give conservative
majority over the whole Dominion Of
twelve seats.
Ontario would have to return as many
conservatives as at the last appeal to
the fve-and the opposi-
ton seems confident Of this and more.
One reason for the expectation that
Ontario will do as well for the con-
servatives as at the last election or
better is the popular feeling aroused by
the revelations Of political corruption
on the part of prominent liberals.

DEFENSE PLAYS REPUTATION
Character Witnesses Galore Tell of
Ames' Honesty and Integrity.

Walter A. Ryberg, deputy clerk in the
office of the clerk of the district court,
was the first witness called to the stand
by the defense, which began today in
the trial Of DR.. A. A. Ames. Ryberg
identified various indictments and rec

pose being to show that the present
case is the same one tried last spring.
Judge Kerr willingly admitted this and
thereby spared the jurors from hearing
much uninteresting detail.
George Bruyette, saloOnkeeper, was
called to testify that Gardner sought to
collect graft from him with the in
tention later OF showing that DR.. Ames
excluded as not being in line with
transactions embraced in the indict-
ment.

Odell Wants Legal Vote. .

Recent activities Of the republican
state committee in this city indicate
that the city vote will be more nearly
legal this year than it usually is. Gov
ernor Odell, chairman Of the committee,
who has SO much at stake in this cam
paign, is paying particular attention to
the city during the registration period,
which is now at hand, and it is said
that there will be a total of about
100000 republican challenges of al
legged fraudulent voters who desire to
have their names placed on the poll
will strike straight at the democrats,
whose methods Of colonizing and MAX
ing citizens out Of foreigners for cleo
ton purposes, are well known to the
general public.
Early in September, when the ques-
ton was being raised as to whether
Governor Qdell was at heart for the
president, or whether he. was not pre-
pairing to give him a formal support on
the surface and quietly knife him under
cover, it was very generally admitted
that the supreme test Of the Odell 10y
! atty would be made when it came time
to watch the registration Of voters in
this city. 1t was admitted that the
governor had an organization back of
! him which would enable him to insure
purer ballot than had been cast in
the city for many years. The question
was, would he improve his opportunity
to cut down the democratic vote, say
$4,000, and perhaps more, or would he
by quiet consent to. fraudulent dem
ocratic registration in the east side dis
tricts, render more or less Intellectual
the work Of the rural republicans.
The governor has responded to this
test in very handsome. way. His
agents are busy in this city checking

Cannon Not So Anxious.

Speaker Cannon was quoted Saturday
as being at a loss to understand the
apathy which has taken possession Of
the people everywhere, but the speak
er s anxiety is not as great as he would
have the country believef He cam
i'm Vermont this fall, and he
knows what the situation iss in New
York. His Saturday utterance was SIM
ply intended to suggest that there
should not be any overconfdence on the
part of republicans.
7 Northern New York, as I have said
above, is cut off the same bolt with
Vermont. Its rural citizens are closely
akin to those Of the Green mountain
state in habits Of thought, in speech
and in political leanings. It is fair
assumption that what Vermont did last
month, rural New York will do next
month, and that will mean that, the
Roosevelt electors will come down to
the Harlem Z. river with a plurality of
anywhere from 150 900 to 100000, which
cannot be offset by any democratic
plurality which can be rolled up In
Greater New York.
This is the basis Of the hope which
republicans have that New York this
year will be for Roosevelt. Good
bad weather will mean small poll
In the cities, on the contrary, and it is
here that the democratic vote is chiefly
located, weather conditions cut no fig.

New York, Oct l7.-The betting odds
on the curb in this city are now 10 to 8
in favor of Roosevelt, and even at these
figures there is not much Parker money

they are consid erably smaller then they
We're ten days or two weeks ago, all of
which, is believed to indicate that the
republican situation here is improving.
especially for the Roosevelt electors,
because Of what they say is the i'm
proved character of the upstate out
look. Rural New York is cut off the
same bolt with rural Vermont, and what
Vermont did, it win do. So the repub..
talk about apathy all over the country,
and many members of both parties pro-
fess to be unable satisfactorily to in
terpret it. This isn't true of the re-
publican leaders in New York, how,
ever. They point to the apathy which
existed in Vermont prior to the Septem
Der election. 1t was 80 marked as to
cause great anxiety among republicans
everywhere Neither side could arouse
enthusiasm. The meetings were poor
ly attended, the few voters who came
did SO from sense of duty, the speak
ers were chilled to the bone night
after night, and the outlook was I'M
promising. The democrats said: stThe
vote will be light, and that will mean
| a falling off Of the republican plurali-
ties. Out Of every block Of ten voters
staying at home on election day, seven
will be republicans, and only three
favor
Strangely enough, the republicans
had no words with which to meet this
democratic assertion, and all they could
do was to hope for the best and wait
for the vote to be counted on election
night. Then they discovered that the
apathy Of the campaign had been due
to the fact that the voters had made
up their minds what they were going to
do. Vermont more than held it's own
SO far as the republican plurality was
concerned, and on the basis Of the
democratic claim, Judge Parker's cleo
tion was out Of the question.

ing up no small amount of space in at
tempting to bring to the notice of the
successful republican candidates their
anti-electon promises, both verbal and

these officials elect are no doubt very
much aware of all promises made, and
should they fail in the fulfillment of
these promises they will meet with
such hearty rebuke two years hence

republicans have practically complete
control, the democrats having only the
offices OF governor, Acknowledgements
and possibly secretary of state. But
these democratic officials elect are
