sed one of the most important speeches
of the campaign. The nominee will re-

Upon authority obtained from the
Democratic national committee and
} corroborated by visitors today, 1t was
stated at the Seville hotel this after
| noon that a professed poll of the New
Jersey vote recently published and
about to be re-published, which con-
Cedes to Roosevelt and Fairbanks a
majority in the state Of approximately
, 1900 was revised and exaggerated
from casual canvass made some three
weeks ago which was not published
and which gave the state TO the Repub
; lican ticket by majority OF only
) $500. The Democratic managers de-
r clare that neither party has made a
, thorough poll Of the state, but that in
: formation received at Democratic ma
tional headquarters as accurate as that
which figured out the $500 Roosevelt
majority, indicates that the common
wealth will not only elect Democratic
governor, but will vote for its national
electors of Parker and Davis.
