the busiest days of the campaign
Wednesday. He held a half dozen
important but informal conferences
with his lieutenants and received
nearly hundred prominent demo-
Gratis from three or four states. His
headquarters at the Hotel Seville
were crowded all day long and the
candidate held several conferences
with democratic leaders last night
Among those who called on him
during the day were Alexander Fl.

er of the most encouraging kind OF
reports from his state. He told
Judge Parker that the democrats
held the state safe, according to the
most conservative estimates.
II have every assurance" said
Mr.. Robertson, that Connecticut
will be found in the democratic
ranks. The last few days have
made perceptible difference in the
situation and to my mind there is
no longer any doubt that both the
national and state tickets will be
victorious. y
| General Nelson A Mileswas one
of the earliest callers on the candi-
!, He told Jnd dgsl@P Parker that
he. was gaining strength every day
of the campaign and that when
| election day arrived he would GER
tainly be swept into the White
House on a tidal wave Of popular
votes. General Miles has recently
:. been in the West.
$50 far as my impressions direct
me-" said the general, "there is not
the least room for doubt as to the
outcome Of this election. Every
sign indicates that Judge Parker
!. will be elected. The republicans
are certain to get surprise when
the votes of the Western states il
counted. Out there it is plainly
evident that there has been re-
vulaion of feeling. Some of the
states that are now counted as close
but safely republican are likely te
be found in the democratic column
when the time comes.
Everywhere that [ have beer
one thing, has been apparent, ane
. that Is that the republicans are no
satisfied with the situation, though
of course there is no end of republi
can talk about clean sweep"

Senator McCarren hurried ovel
from democratic state headquarterl
at the Hoffman house late in ths
afternoon for conference with thu
candidate on the situation in Brook
lyn. He was closeted with judge
Parker for nearly an hour, the chic
topic of discussion being the sheavy
registration in all Of the city dis
tricts.
"The greater the registration,
said Senator McCarren afterward
"the more certain Is Democrat,
success. This unusually heavy reg
istration means that the independ
ent and mugwump voters are al
coming out this year, and they new
er come out except when cunning
for some candidate. They nevel
come out to vote for somebody, bu
to put in ballot against him fol
some reason. In the face of the reg
istration figures democratic victory
is assured"
