prominent democrats all over the country,
AMI while 1t is too early to make forecasts.
I can say at this time that the future ap-
pears bright for success. / have received
numbers of letters from we'll known demo-
Gratis in many parts Of the United States
who are not active or interested in CAM
paigns who announce their readiness to
do all they can for the ticket. l do not
know of a democrat who is not ready to
do all he can. Judge Parker accepted i'm
mediately a tender of a position on the
advisory committee and will do whatever
the committee asks him. Gov. Johnson
also accepted position on the same COM
mittee without delay.
The Fight in the East.
OF state affairs Mr.. Mack said:
The democratic state committee In
New York is thoroughly competent and
able to handle the situation without any
interference from the national commit
tee. Let me say that the state chair
man and / are in perfect accord. The
national committee will not in any way
interfere with the nominations i'm this
state. Further. the state committee will
conduct its own fight.
1.-The subcommittee which will have
direction of the national campaign in the
east will be made up of strong men and
capable of conducting efficient cam
paign. The state committee has never
been so strong Altogether everything
will be done to make strong fight in tho
eastern states. 1 expect to leave for Chi
cago Monday evening"

he would spend most of his time during
the national campaign in Chicago. where
the main headquarters Of the national
