"My information leads me to believe
that Judge Parker will be elected Pres
ident of the United States by a good,
safe majority of the Electoral College.
To my mind there is no question as to
how the Empire State will go. 1t
looks TO me as II this State was as cer-
tain to go Democratic as is Maryland.
New Jersey, Connecticut, Illinois and
Indiana are all, so far as l can learn,
more than reasonably certain to cast
their votes for Parker and Davis"

in 1900 to $3.50, 900, 900 i'll 1860, to $780,

President Roosevelt delivered an ad-

Hon. Harry Rusk, Chairman of the
Democratic City Committee, of Balti-
more: 1.-THE State of Maryland will just
as surely cast her electoral vote for
Parker and Davis as viii Texas. /
have also received the most cheering
news from West Virginia and several
of the smaller States in the Far West.
The first named State, l am told by
leading Democrats there, will unques-
tionably be redeemed for Democracy
and constitutional government. Friends
tell me that Colorado and Montana
will surely go Democratic, and VIZ also
have Il good fighting chance in Wash
ington and Utah"
A man who congratulates an assas-
sin, as Roosevelt did Governor Tay-
lor. of Kentucky, the day after Gov
ernor Goebel was assassinated, at the
Kentucky State capital, is not a fit
subject to be President of free Ameri-
ca.
Albert B. Meekin, of Chicago: "The
city of Chicago will be carried by Par
ker and Davis by from $4,000 to 50,-
Coo majority. / look for the State of
Illinois to go Democratic by a good,
safe majority. | also hear the most
tlattering reports from Indiana"

Former Senator Henry G. Davis finds
that the expenses of the Government
have grown from $500 per capita in
1892 to Sill in 1904, an addition of
$40 a year for each average family.
These figures are a faithful index of
Republican eXtravagances.
When the Republicans last year held
back the investigation Of frauds in
postal affairs, the Democrats of the
House clamored for opening the books.
Judge Herrick challenges the New
York Republicans to open the books.
1t is the only possible way effectively
to answer charges affecting the integ-
rity of a business administration.
Where is the administration going to
get money to defray expenses and meet
an inevitable recurrence Of a deficit?
viii it sell bonds? Will it impose
more taxes? it might do both.
Carl Scllurz only reflects sound, pop
ular Judgment when he says there are
Two Roosevelts, the ideal. the legend
airy Roosevelt, as he once appeared,
and the real Roosevelt The real
Roosevelt is the man who wants to
be President for an indefinite indul-
gence of his ambition.
The people-all the ~people-pay the
bills of Imperialism and a constantly
increasing military establishment.

Judge Herrlck said in his speech of
acceptance: MY election as Governor
will mean the restoration to their APP
propriate sphere of all the different
powers Of the government, instead Of
all being centralized in the hands of
the Executive" And that, too, is what
the election of Judge Parker as Presi-
dent will mean for the Federal Gov
eminent.
Republican campaign managers are
assessing both parties in Alabama who
are represented in Federal offices.
There are Il few Democrats in under
the civil service. They are asked to
make "as liberal contributions as pos
sible.' &
Senator Isador Rayner, of Maryland:
"Take Maryland out of the doubtful
column. Our State is certain to go
Democratic. I@believe the same of
New York and West Virginia. The
general outlook is all that any Demo-
crat could wish for"
