CAMPAIGN a VITAL
ONE.

Camp AtGN a. VITAL
NEW YORK. Oct. s. - President
Roosevelt may appear on the stump
in this State in support Of Hughes for
governor, II the President and Tim
othy L. woodruff, chairman of the
State Republican committee, believe
that Hearst is running SO strong as
to imperiI the Republican candidate.
Assurances to this effect. It was
learned from high Republican sources,
have been given by the President, who
is carefully watching the progress Of
the campaign in his own State. and
who also is guiding that campaign by
telegraph and telephone. In the event
of Hearst showing great strength with
the people, as the campaign progress
es, one or possibly two speeches may
be expected in behalf OF Hughes.
The President is in almost daily
touch with State Chairman Woodruff,
who was the nominee for lieutenant
governor on the state ticket with
Roosevelt when the latter was elected
governor in 1898. The President also
is closely in touch with Congressman
Herbert Parsons, the chairman Of the
Republican county committee here,
and who dominated the recent State
convention as the personal represen.
tatlve Of the President,
That the result Of the coming State
election will determine the candidate
of either the Republican or the Demo-
cratic party for the Presidency in
1908 is believed by prominent Repub-
lIcans here. and they are carefully
shaping the campaign generally, and
the selection OF local candidates es-
pecially. to score as much as possible
to that end.
Hughes for the Presidency.
II Hughes is elected, the Republic
can managers believe he will be the
likely party Presidential standard
bearer in 1908, notwithstanding Taft
and Root. II Hearst is elected, the
managers of both parties believe he
will be the party nominee for the
Presidency two years hence. Daily
reports in detail are made TO Washing
ton. and none of the local Congress,
senate or assembly states were COM
pleted until the Roosevelt o. K. had
been affixed.
There Is absolute harmony Of action
between Messrs. Roosevelt and
Hughes, and one OF the outcropplngs
is the word just given by both men to
the local leaders to nominate for the
thirteen local judiciary places in this
the men already in the field
as Independent candidates OF the law
yers' committee. headed by Joseph H.
Choate. with Alton B. Parker as vice
chairman.
This ticket includes ten nominees
for the State Supreme court and three
for minor judicial offices. Most of the
nominees are Democrats. but they
have the unqualified support OF the
Bar Association, and Mr.. Hughes him
self was a member of the nonpartisan
legal committee that placed them in
early in the summer. Both
Roosevelt and Hughes believe the
placing OF these men on the regular
ticket will bring a big
independent vote to the full Republic
can ticket. and, accordingly, they
have told the local leaders why they
wish it done. Mr. Choate and Mr..
Root also we're powerful factors in
bringing this about.
Dictated judicial Ticket.
In addition to this, It was the Pres
dents personal wishes, after full con-
sultation, that determined the make
np of the Supreme Court ticket in
where Woodruff is the local
leader. For one of the candidates
there the President sent word to
Woodruff by special confidential mes
sengers, stating he should be named,
and the action was taken.
Here in New York county the jul
iiclal conventions will be held next
week, and the wishes OF Roosevelt
and Hughes will be followed.
Both Hughes and Hearst are now
in the thick OF their respective cam
paigns. and the regular stamping OF
the State will be on next week. Here
in New York county there is some
friction between Hearst and Charles
F. Murphy. leader Of Tammany Hall.
Int Hearst's wishes will have to be
followed or Hearst will nominate an
