The eyes of the country are now
centered on election results in New
York With bitter factional row in
the republican ranks, an almost
equally turbulent condition existing
among the democrats, and Hearst's
Independence league firing broad
sides at candidates of both the old
parties, New York is undergoing one
of the fiercest political wars in her
history.
Every possible effort is being made
by many business and financial in
terests to dcfeat Stimson, the repub-
lcan qominee for governor, on ac-
count Of their hostility to Colonel
Roosevelt. with this class of repub-
leans joining forces with the dem
ocrats it is confidently believed by
many who have carefully analyzed
the situation that the democrats will
sweep the state of New York by
from 10000 to $4,000.
The republican candidates for CON
gress in New York City are very
ilihNl Aihubiti bfAfhhot VI Aht l'
peated reports reaching them from
every quarter that the republican
business men who intend to vote for
the democratic candidate fer COVER
nor, as a rebuke to Roosevelt, show
no intention of differentiating on the
congress ticket but are likely to vote
the democratic ticket straight down
to the bottom A similar feeling is
said to exist among the business men
upstate. Chilling indifference to the
fate Of the congress tickets seems to
be the prevailing feeling among those
republicans hostile to Mr.. Roosevelt.
The outlook for three congressman
in the Manhattan district Is regarded
as very discouraging. William NJ
Bennett, William S. Bennett and Her
bert Parsons are the nominees. The
democrats have nominated former
jefferson Levy as the |
candidate against Parsons. He is n |
man of wealth and very strong with |
the Hebrew vote Henry George, |
Jr., was nominated to make the race !
against william S. Bennett, the in
rumbent in the Seventeenth district.
I'll Fifteenth district, now repre-
iented by Colonel Olcott, turned him
down and named william NJ. Ben
nett as the republican candidate. The
democrats nominated Thomas c..
Patton to run against him.
Boss Murphy re-nominated the
candidates who are op
posed by Hearst on the charge of
having voted with Speaker Cannon
m the rules last spring. The men
are Riordan, Cold
ogle, Conry, Harrison and Fornes
In the Fourteenth district. William
Villett declined denomination, and
Gurphy gave it to DR.. John J. Kin
Ired of Long Island city. In the
Eighteenth district Murphy nomin-
ted stephen B. Ayers to succeed
ioulden, the Tammany incumbent.
william Sulzer had no opposition in
lis district. was re-nominated and
viii be reelected.
The congressional situation up
tate is causing some considerable
nxiety to the republicans In dis
ricts where out-and-out progressivcs.
uch as Hamilton Fish. have been
ominated. and in John Dwight's
istrict. where he capitulated TO the
rogressives at the first gunfire, no
-ouble is feared. but in some OF the
Id stand-pat districts the contest
iii be close. as il is feared that the
usiness men will vote the straight
emocratic ticket while the repubii-
ans, for lack Of funds, cannot get
t the country vote. /
Thre are probably seven or eight
lstricts in the entire state. now rep
scented by republicans. which may
e classed as doubtful in the coming
