NEW YORK, Oct 3, 1904:-United
States Senator William A. Clark, of
Montana, who is taking an active part
! in the present campaign and who has
| been in almost daily consultation with
| Judge Parker in this city, was one of the
politicians of prominence who has been
giving the Presidential nominee the most
encouraging news of the conditions in the
West. After his last conference with
Judge Parker on Friday Senator Clark
said
= have every reason to believe that
the Rocky Mountain states will give a
good account of themselves this election.
have looked into the situation thorough
ly, and I feel confident that, the elector-
al vote for Parker and Davis will be
my own state of Montana the prospects
for Democratic success were never bet
liter. Montana can be counted upon to
cast its three electoral votes for the
Democratic ticket. So far as am able
10 Judge Nevada will add three more
electoral votes AS for Colorado, think
that, conditions are such there, as a re-
suit to the labor. troubles and the at
titude Of Governor Peabody, that we can
count upon three more votes in the cleo
toral college from Colorado. The labor
and irrigation issues are being made par
amount in the campaign of the Demo
cratic candidate for governor, Alva Ad-
ans, and Gov. Peabody, who is trying
for reelection. The State fight will
undoubtedly help the Democratic party
in the National campaign. look upon
Idaho as REASONABLY safe. Senator Du-
bois is making a vigorous fight in that
State and the prospects are good.
saThe outlook generally is getting bet
ter every day. New York has set the
pace and all the other State leaders are
following the harmonious criterion set
forth at the Saratoga State Convention.
It has done inestimable benefit and has
been great incentive to bring about
harmony all over the country
No less sanguine is former United
States Senator Richard R. Kenney, Ma
tionaI Committeeman from Delaware.
When he called upon Judge Parker this
week he brought assurances OF a splen-
did organization in his State and the con-
| fidence of Democrats that Delaware will
be carried for Parker and Davis and the
entire State ticket Senator Kenney
said
ssThe conditions in Delaware are re-
markable. | have never seen them look
better in my life. The State is complete
/ " organized. In fact, there is scarcely
village or town in the State where a.
Democratic club is not completely equip
ped. and In such Clubs meetings are held
two or three times a week. The gather
ings at these meetings are much larger
than, they have been for years. That is
one Of the sure signs of success. 1t shows
that the Democrats are more enthusiasts
tic and anxious to work for the ticket
thap heretofore.
II do not know a man in the State
who has ever been Democrat who it
not now actively at work, and heartily
in favor Of the ticket. But that is not
all. We take great. encouragement from
the fact that we have now the support
of many Of the independent Republicans.
Our opponents are having trouble all
over the State They are lighting harder
than ever and on Thursday they closed
the last and biggest rowS Of the year,
when their two State Committees, which
have been in session nearly week trying
to agree on candidate for Governor,
broke up after one more melee. It is very
doubtfulsif they viii ever agree, and even
| il they should they will not carry the
State on Presidential and State tickets.
Already eighty pea. cent Of the Demo-
cratic vote is registered, and we are in
