ROOSEVELT "BONBS"
ARE ALL EXPLODED
President Said to Think
Taft's Fight Is Won and
Will Be Silent.

Rumors that the President was re-
serving the big gun of the campaign
until just before the election were dis
countenanced at the White House this
morning. the statement being made that
the fight was now considered won, ana
that IL was not thought necessary Tor
the President either 10 deliver a speech
or employ additional letters 10 appeal
TO the voters.
The Presidents bombshen at the end
Of the Parker campaign has led to tile
belief in some quarters that about Mon
day next the Chief Executive would
take a final shot az the Democratic
platform and policies, and end the Re
publican campaign by a liberal applica-
tion Of more ginger"
1T isn't necessary" seems to be the
feeling about the White House. and it
may be inferred that unless something
develops which requires a reply from
the President, ne viii let the campaign
work out its own end in the closing
days.
Reports Are Cheering.
A number of optimistic reports were
brought to President Roosevelt by ad-
visors who called today. Postmaster
General Meyer. who has just been on
a speaking tour of Ohio, and who left
this afternoon for Belair, Nd. where
he speaks tonight, brought encouraging
reports about the Taft gains in Ohio
within the past few days.
The State ticket, he admits. is in more
doubt than the national ticket owing to
a multiplicity OF State interests and
questions. The farmers are supporting
Taft, he declares.
Land that was 50 an acre at the
close Of the Democratic administration
is now 500 and S125; the people are well
informed and cOntented and refuse 10
become excited" he says.
The circulation Of the daily news
papers, through means Of the rural de-
livery, Mr.. Meyer believe has had much
10 do in bringing about this informed
condition In the rural districts.

The Postmaster General speaks in
Trenton tomorrow night, and leaves i'm
mediately for Boston, where he speaks
Saturday noon in Faneun Hall He

SlderatiOn of the report concerning the
aCairs OF the defunct Farmers and
Drovers' National Bank, of Waynes-
