The Republican campaigners at State
headquarters, II East Thirtieth street
settled down to steady work yesterday, and
with nearly all Of the arst canvass OF nearly
every county in the State in 1t was very
apparent 70 Chairman Woodruff, William
Barnes, Or, Representative W. W. Cocks
and others at headquarters that there has
been altogether too much o~verconndence in
the belief that William r. Hearst Is to be
showed under on election day.
Most Of the reports were to the eject
that in certain sections Of the state. espe-
cially those above the Mohawk Valley
and those along the line OF the New York
Central Railroad from Albany to Buffalo,
Mr.. Hearst had a great many supporters,
not only in the farming districts. but in the
factory towns, and these reports have but
confirmed the statements which have beer
printed In Ter Son for the last ten days.
Some Of the farmers, according TO these
reports received yesterday, seem TO a v
an idea that they are 70 be utterly free from

high coet Of living. Some of the farmers,
it was learned, believe that the corporations
are to be called upon by Mr.. Hearst TO pay
all Of the taxee Of the State.
The fact that corporations in the State OF
New York have been so severely taxed az to
send many Of them, including Mr.. Hearst's
own corporation, 70 the State of New Jersey,
has not appealed, it was said, in any strong
| sense to those who believe that Mr.. Hearst
is to cure. all the ills tina, flesh is heir TO.
In many Of the sections Of the State, &C
oordine TO the reports. there is no Hearst
sentiment at all, and no county in the State
is without its scores and hundreds n ever
Thousands Of Democrats who openly declare
that they will not vote for Mr.. Hearst under
any circumstances, but are to vote the
! Republican State ticket beaded by Mr.,
Hughes. While it was said that the Re-
publican c~ampaisners have not been living
IN a fools paradise, some of them were In
a very serious mood Yesterday when they
read the reports from the upstate dis

serious one, nevertheless. As a general
rule the registration in New York city in
a state campaign is approximately 10000
lese than the registration In the natlonal
campaign Immediately preceding. The
figures Tor the fret two days OF reg1stra-
ton this year indicate the same average

wear cannot be brought home TOO torcibly

ticket ought to work just as hard as be
would in a national campaign.
