New York, Oct Is. PresidonI
Roosevelt, basng his conclusions OF
information which has come to him
from many sources all over the state
regards the political situation here a.
full Of danger. He has sent repeated
warnings, both directly and through
Republicans of national prominence
vino have visited him within the las-
few days in Washington, urging the
Republican campaign managers to got
he fun antitrust vote registered on
Monday
So far from taking the view enter
tainod by the antiIearst leaders here
men who have come fresh from
Washington are arriving convinced
that the election Of Mr. Hearst is not
only possible but PROBABLE Their al
titude, which is known to have been
taken from that of the president. mas
made a deep impression here because
all the Republican leaders know that
Mr. Roosevelt is one of the most
Clcar.sighted political leaders of the
country. While The president will not
openly interfere even in campaign
Waaed in his own state, he Il taking
deep interest in the situation lie
does not share the general belief that
MI. Hearst VIII be defeated by an
overwhelming majo.ity He Is con vim.
ced hat the men who entertain that

their friends He is insisting that
every antl-HeaFst vote will be needed
on election day.
This is an "off year in New York
state politics. The record of such
years proves that large falling off
eylable. Mr. Roosevelt himself was
elected governor by plurality Of only
$4,000 in 1898, and Mr. Odell, 1902,
wa, barely saved by plurality or
5000. This meant that more than 100,
005 Republicans who had voted for
President Mckinley did not cast Their
ballots at all in the state campaign.
Republican Detection
In spite of the Democratic detection
from Hearst, he will receive many
thousand, of votes which are always
cast under the Democratic emblem
regardless of candidates. In addition
he will have a proportion of the regt.-
lar Republican vote which has not yet
been determined The canvassos OF
the upstate counties, which were OIL
dcred by the antitrust managers,
have not yet been completed, and
they will not be available for pun
poses OF comparison until next week
after the rcgistra ion here has clC.ci. I
President Roosevelt has been inform
ed that the detection to Hearst amoug
the Republican farmers up the state
is much greater than he Republican I
leaders have been led TO believe, ana /
this is the reason for his anxiety thar I
the usual onyear slump in the vote
should be prevented.
I, is known that the pre- idcnt does I.
MOI regard this as merely a state cam
paigu. but as the beginning of the .
National campaign 0f 1908. If MI
Hearst is elected governor he may be
