New York, Oct. 27.-With election
day a week away, the leaders of all
the political parties Monday started
out in the final effort of what is ex-
pected to be sensational finish of
the national political campaign New
York is the real battle-ground, in the
opinion of the campaign managers,
and here Monday were gathered prac-
tically all the heavy artillery of all
the parties. William H. Taft and Will
liam j. Bryan, who came in from
stumping towns, spent the night in
this city, and both were astir early to
begin week of work which will tax
their endurance to the utmost. Mr..
Bryan made speeches in half a dozen
towns and a long formal address at
the big mass meeting in Madison
Square garden Monday evening. Mr..
Taft had a midday engagement in New
Haven, but he returned to New York
Monday afternoon and delivered sew
eral addresses before midnight. He
will devote the entire week to New
York state. In addition to Mr.. Taft
and Mr.. Bryan hundreds of speakers
appealed to voters of all classes
throughout the state Monday.

to Paterson, in order to keep his word

morning, and thought he would have,
ample time to get to Jersey City and
board the Erie train leaving there at
7:10 o'clock, but in that he was mis-.
taken.
Says He'll Get to the White House.
At Paterson, with a steady rain pelt-
ing down upon them, 10000 persons
stood for an hour waiting for Mr..
Bryan. The nominee, wrapped in a
raincoat and with his SLOUGH hat
pulled down on his brow, urged those
present to vote for William Hughes,
the Democratic candidate for congress
in this district, telling them that
when take my seat in the White
House next March l shall need just
such congressman as Mr.. Hughes to
uphold my policies" There could be
little real good accomplished, he said,
by electing a Democratic president,
unless there also should be a demo-
cratic congress behind him.
