N THE POLITICAL HHIRL
DEMOCRATS IN EMPIRE STATE
FOR cHANLER
Fzyorably Impressed With fIe Comments
Made in Behalf OF Ills
Nomination
THE FIGHT NOW ON IN REAL
EARNEST

NeW uFk. sept. H. The Demo
cratic politicians 10 the Empire state
are greatly pleased with the fayorabls
comment made throughout ihe coun.
fry on the candidacy Of Lieutenant
fsoyernor lewis Stuyyesant CbaHIeT
for the presidency.
Tho suggestion that Lieutenant GOV
ernor Cbanicr become n candidate
eams originally from the south. II
Was looked upon a. q good thing By
the politicians here, and before the
Governor really Knew it himself, he
was entered in the race as the fayOrite
son of New York state. The eight is
now on IN real earnest for delegates
in EVERY state in the country. The
situation IN New York state is very
simple. There IS no opposition %
Chanier IN any quarter and at the
neat meeting 0f the state Committee,
which will be held in January, there
will Be asananim0us endorsement 81
his candidacy.
This brings all the leaders Of the
party in line for him and may nt
the means of healing the political
wounds that have kept the party in
n turmoil for the last dozen years.
1t the National Democratic Club the
sentiment for .chanIer is very strong.
lie Is q personal friend Of the Pres
iient Of the Club. John Fox. Mr..
Fox IS q millionaire, being largely in
terrsted in the iron commission bust
ness. While not active In politics bis
yoicc is strong In the councils Of
Tammany Hall. The support Of Presi-
dent Fox means that exMayor Van
Wyck and John r. Carroll, the former
leader Of Tammany, now president Of
one OF the most important business
banks IN the city, will get aboard the
chanlor band wagon.
These men All represent big business
interests and one reason for getting
behind Cbanler Is TO bring about the
elimination of Bryan. However mag
notic Bryan's name may be on the
prairie, il has an omiDous sound 10
business men In the East. They vel
come the ctndidacy Of anyone that
will put an end TO the program Of
disaster 50 long monopOIized by tho
Democratic party. These gentlemen
look upon Gbanler as the only man
who can carry New YORK state, and
trey know that IL the Democracy IS 10
win in the nation il must carry the
Empire state. With national Demo
cratic administration in power the
Democratic club would become one Of
the institutions of the country.
In the more practical field Of politics
the Chanler sentiment has taken a
firm hold. Charles r.. Murphy, the
leader Of Tammany Hall, Is for Chan
Ter because be thinks he can win with
him. In this view nc is backed up
by bis right bower in politics. former
Congressman Timothy y. Sullivan.
The support OF the SuIliyans IN a
movement Of this kind means much
~ Chanler. ''Big Tim as he Is
famiIiarly called in New York, II
known in every town in New York
state by the boys vino do the politics.
When Big Tim puts his imprima-
tur on statesman they know hc II a
live one. The situation in New York
requires a live one now, aud The
politicians look upon Chanler as a
drowning man looks upon a life pre-
sewer.
They SEQ IN him the hope, long de-
ferred, OF Office. They realize that
his social and political connections are
such tIIat nc can carry New York State
for thc Democratic ticket. Outside oi
asfew state departments there is scarce.
" town north Of the Harlem where
the Democrats are in power. IL the
national ticket wins IL will pull along
all these small fellows into Office.
Zig Tim has sent the word all
along the line 10 get aboard the Chan.
Ter political chariot, and there is .
degree Of political activity IN Demo
cratic circles not observed since the
old Cleveland days.
