THE CLIMAX OF THE CAMPAIGN

With the betting odds in New York
to in favor of Roosevelt, 1t doubt
less comes as a disagreeabe surprise
elsewhere that there should be any
possibility of the election of the Dem
ocratic candidate for president
Whethere there is really a chance
for Parker's success is fair subject
for debate, but there appears to be no
doubt that the managers of the Dem
ocrat national campaign expect to
win his election.
Within the past week the leading
Democratic papers in the East and in
the West have given prominence to
predictions. not of general success
but of particular states that they ex-
pect to carry for the Democrat candi-
date These figures have been in
close accordance and they have been
accompanied by the statement that
they were published contrary to the
wish of the campaign managers. who
preferred the still hunt" policy.

been given wide publicity in the
Brooklyn Eagle. the Chicago Tribune
and other conservative papers. that
Chairman Taggart of the Democrat ma
