men 90 look over their haili%ioks and to
iHf Ike .s quick a 4nvaIs AZ possible OF the
Political niIGtion from the standpoint OF
uelI't and Gnli-iiedrst:
SoG!c OF The lrttcra received by Mr.. Wood
rlff yc.'crlay were from Rensselaer,,
Utscgp. Cortland and Jefferson counties,
nd wi:hin the next Few days he will have
practically a complete first The
returns yesterday SLOWED that Thousands
upon thousands OF Democrats are opposed
10 Mr.. Hearst, that there d not the defec-
lion from the Republican party that many
had been led to believe existed but that
nevertheless Republicans in the factory
towns of Rensselaer, who had been Mckinley
and Roc sevelt men were now talking as il
very friendly to Mr.. Hearst. Some of the
upstate Republicans sent word to Mr..
Woodruff that they were not at all alarmed
over the Republican situation in their
territory and added that if the Hearst vote
could be kept down below The Bronx line
Mr.. Hughes would have a smashing ma
$ority on election day.
Chairman Woodruff has no illusions
about the campaign. He understands that
party lines have been shattered. 1t has
been his policy sinCe his election as State
chairman, it was stated, to remember at
all times that the campaign il to be an
exceedingly momentous one, with results
that may be more far reaching than those
Of any campaign since war days. For
that reason, it was stated, and because of
other facts in his. possession he has asoer-
tanned not what the Republicans are to do
and not what the Democrats are to do
but what the voters are to do about Mr..
Hearst and Mr.. Hearst's political doctrines.
All Of the campaign speakers, by Chairman
~uifs directions, II was learned, are
to recoleCt that party lines in his battle
have been almost entirely obliterated.
The widest cathoi lofty OF political utterance,
it was asserted, il TO. be, suggested to all
campaig n orators, and voters OF every
class, rae e, religion and condition in life
are to be warned against Mr.. Hearst and
Mr.. Hearst's political doctrines;
Chairman Woodruff gave an object lesson
TO all interested in the campaign when,
contrary to the majority sentiment of the
Brooklyn Republican organization, he nomi-
mated three Democrats of the eight candi-
dates for Supreme Court Justice in the
Second judicial district In New York
county Mr.. Woodruff, Mr.. Hughes and
President Herbert Parsons of the Republic
can committee discussed yesterday a SINH
lar line Of procedure for the ten nominal
tons for Supreme Court Justice in the
First Judicial district. Mr.. Hughes was
one OF the committee which nominated
the lawyers ticket, and Mr.. Parsons is now
confronted by the New York Republican
county organization with the same senti-
ment which confronted Mr.. Woodruff in
the Kings county OrganizatlOn-that only
Republicans hould be nominated for the
ten Supreme Court Justice places in New
York county. Those interested in the cam
paign and in the efforts to defeat Mr.. Hearst
said with considerable emphasis yesterday
that IN, this campaign personal ambitions
would have to be set aside; that the talk
of an easy victory over Mr.. Hearst is fool
ishness and that every vote will be needed.
Some Of the Republicans and some of the
Democrats who talked with, Mr.. Woodruff
yesterday gave il to be their opinion that
Mr.. Hearst would be beaten for Governor
by a larger majority than Mr.. Bryan lost
New York State by in 1896 but it should be
added that those who are keeping track
OF the inner workings of this campaign
nave no NltJSNdnLldl bNIAoIlCt al HdIl1 10
warrant that assertion.
Efforts are to be made to have the Repub-
lican organization in New York county ac-
cept the lawyers ticket for Judges, or as
much Of il as would appeal TO the largest
constituency. Some Of the more important
Republicans. as well as some of the more
important Democrats, believe, it was said,
that Judge Rosalsky should nave a place
on the ticket as one of the candidates for
the Court of General Sessions. There is a
very strong sentiment, it was asserted,
for Judge Rosalsky, while. on the other
hand, there is, no sentiment at all. il was
stated, either on the part of lawyers or Of
those Interested in the success of the ticket,
for Senator Nathaniel A. Elsberg, by whose
efforts the bill calling for the ten new Sd
preme Court Justices in New York county
was passed. The lawyers who nominated
the lawyers ticket for judges, it was said,
are averse TO making any changes in their
one change they might be asked to make
several; but for all that il was the opinion
that after n or two changes had been
made in the lawyers ticket it will be accept
able to the Republican organization Of the
county.
Steps have been taken. II was learned
last night. by which Charles f. Hughes on
his tour through the State this week and in
his subsequent tours is 10 meet all those
Interested IN the anti Hearst campaign,
whether they be Republicans or whether
they be Democrats. Mr.. Hughes, it was
said. is to meet personally as many of these
people as possible; and 1t was added that
either to-day or tomorrow thousa nds
upon thousands Of autograph letters from
Mr.. Hughes are to he sen to those in the
country districts and in the cities of the
second and third class who have expressed
q desire TO support him for the election.
