NEW YORK. Oct. 27.-With cleo

at Its height, the men responsible for
the campaign OF both parties In the
Empire state today emphasized their
belief that their party will win.
Despite the confident claims, however.
unprejudiced observers admit that the
next week will tell the story. The
swing toward either John A Dix, the
Democratic candidate, or Henry l..
Etimson, the Republican choice, has
not yet started The so-called silent
vote, which has been growing more
conspicuous during the last few years.

ports received by both sides show that
canvasses so far have been useless.
The stumping tour OF Col. Roosevelt
has not been the unqualified success
anticipated. While he has had en-
thusiastic receptions for the most part
he has also encountered frosts and
the latter have come in the places
where he has expected the warmest
receptions. He continues to use as
his chief arguments against Dix. the
allegation. that Tammany forced his

John F. Murray. secretary of the
California Democratic state central
committee, has addressed a letter to
the Democratic county central COM
mittee of Los Angeles in which ne
extols the effective work that Is pe-
ing done by the many Bell-Spellacy
clubs of Los Angeles county. MIR.
Murray pays the Los Angeles Democ-
racy a high tribute and in his letter
to the chairman of the central COM
mittee he says, in part:
'rWe have noted with much pleasure
the splendid results that are being
achieved by the Bell-Spellacy clubs
of Los Angeles county, some OF which
are doing almost as much for our TWO
standard bearers, Theodore Bell and
Tim Spellacy, as are any or our poll
tical campaign bureaus. A number OF
the most prominent of these clubs
have written personal letters to me,
urging me to find some way by which
we can arrange for Mr.. Bell or Mr..
Spellacy to address them or be pres
ent at the various banquets which
they had hoped to tender them. I re-
great very much that the demand upon
their time has been so great that ii
will be impossible for us to change
their itinerary.
"a portion Of their itinerary is now
so crowded that for several nights
neither Mr.. Bell nor Mr.. Spellacy will
have more than three hours sleep,
and this tax upon their constitutions
precludes the possibility Of any ban
ouets or social or fraterna1 arrange
ments. However, all the members of
the various Bell-Spellacy clubs Of Los
Angeles county will have a good op-
portunity to meet him at the public
reception whichNhe will hold in the
Hollenbeck hotel during his sojourn
in Los Angeles or when he makes the
whirlwind tour by automobile and over
the Kite-shaped track, through the
county.

IGNORES ROTATION SYSTEM
"Seventh-Coroner Hartwell has ig-

given the greater bulk of his business
to two undertaking firms, Bresee Bros.
and Pierce Bros, in the latter OF
which Walter Parker and NUMBER Oh
Southern Pacific machine polltlclans
are prominent stockholders. he mas
ignored the smaller undertakers to
an incredible degree, and it can be
proved that in most Of the cases whicn

concerns disliked to handle, because or

found, The smaller undertakers nave
received a number of these unoeslr-
able cases, but none OF them nave re-
ceiyed in point of number anyways
nearly as many as they should have
received. and most of the cases they
have received, of that kind, have been
county cases which are handled SO
cheapIy that no undertaken can make
any money from them. If you want

A statement issued by the Demo-
cratic county central committee urg-
ing the election of DR.. A. G. Pratt for
coroner makes startling charges re-
garding the inefficiency of his oppoh-
ent, Coroner Calvin Hartwell. The
statement is as follows:
There are a number of good and
sufficient reasons why Calvin Hart
well, coroner of Los Angeles county,
should not be reelected. No voter
who is sincere and conscientious in
his advocacy of the principles of good
government can vote for Hartwell.
That was admitted by the officers and
by the rank and file of the Lincoln
Roosevelt Republican league before
primaries. Everyone knows that 1t
still is, ana always has been, during
the last six months, maintained by
the Good Government organization
and it must be admitted also that
there are good many so-called regu-
lar Republicans who are now opposed
to his recollection.
