TONIGHT:
A Noble OutCaSt.
NEW SPECIALTIES NIGHTLY
President Roosevelt Anxious.

President Roosevelt, basing his con-
illusions upon information which has
come to him from many sources all over
the State of New York, regards tho po-
litical situation in that State as full OF
danger. He has sent repeated warnings,
both directly and through republicans OF
national prominence who have visited
within the last few days in Washington,
urging the republican campaign mana
gers to spare no effort to get the full
snti-Hearst vote registered today and
Monday.
So far from taking the view entertained
by the anti Hearst leaders in New York.
men who have come fresh from Wash
ington are arriving convinced that the
election of Mr.. Hearst /, not only possi-
BILE, but probable. Their attitude. which
is known to have been taken from that
of the President, has made deep i'm
preston in New York, because ell the
republican leaders know that Mr.. Roose-
velt is one of the most clear-sighted po-
litical leaders 10 the country. The Pres
ident is taking deep interest in the sit
ustion. He is insistDg that every anti
Hearst 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 in the re-
publican vote is almost inevitable. Mr..
Roosevelt himself was elected grovemor
BY plurality ofonly Is, 900 in 1898, and
Mr.. Odell, in 1902, WAS barely saved by
plurality OF 5000.
In spite of the democratic detection
from Hearst, he will receive many thous-
| ands Of votes which are always cast un-
der the democratic emblem regardless OF
candidates. In addition he will have a
proportion OF the regular republican vote
| which has not yet been determined.
President Roosevelt has beeu informed
that the detection to Hearst amoug the
republican farmers of the State Is much
greater than the republican leaders have
been led to believe, and this is the reason
for his anxiety.
