OF THE SINCERITY OF THE

John Temple Graves. author. lee.
turer, and editor OF the Atlanta Geor.
CLAN, is in New York to witness the
closing days fthe great political
campaign in that state.
Under date of Nov /, he wires the
Georgian as follows:
The Contest Defined.
New York. Nov. l.-Falr skies and
bracing weather are the prognostics
for election day.
Ordinarily, this would spell profit
to the Republican cause. But this
election annihilates all political pro.
verbs of past times and mixes Demo.
Gratis and Republicans in camps of
conviction, rather than party.
The issue between Hearst and
Hughes is made clearer and more
definite every day. The trusts. in
absolutely solid rank, are lined up
against Hearst. The trusts. in solid
rank, are lined up for Hughes.
by their friends as by their
fruits shall We know them and the
people are wiser than they have been
before.
Trusts Fighting Hearst.
The best proof of Hearsts absolute
sincerity in fighting the trusts is the
desperate sincerity of the trusts fight
ing Hearst. Can they buy or bully the
election from the peoples candidate?
Every prospect now is pleasing to the
friends Of Hearst.
Max Ihmsen, manager of campaign,
is .out this morning in statement
that the election is already safely
won and it only remains to watch
the polls for fraud. heard a Tam
many audience last night applaud to
the echo the statement that TammaDy
loved great fighter and loved Hearst
all the better for the licking he gave
them two years ago.
Betting Cuts No Figure.
The assembly rallies were particu-
larly enthusiastic last night and rang
with applause over the Endorsement
of Hearst by Nathan Stratus. the
Democratic philanthropist, and by
Bryan and AdlG Stevenson, the Dem
ocratic nominees Of 1900.
The betting odds, which slightly IA
vor Hughes, cut no figure here, be
cause men recall that ten days before
the election in which Hearst undoubt-
edly won the mayoralty, the odds were
10 to l on Mcclellan and to ! on
the day before election.
I'D to this time 1t is believed that
the Hughes camp is short of money
and only money can save it.
Silent Vote is Feared.
oh I'D
fairest of the opposition papers. de
clares this morning that the great 81
lent vote is a menacing reality this
wear and that. while the Republicans
none for the best, they fear the
worst. They fear that the disaffect
ed Democratic vote will be more
than upset by the disaffected labor
vote and the paper reports the re
publican campaign managers are

hack the labor vote" The fear in
every Republican, public and private
lis a landslide for Hearst.
