NEW YORK, Oct. S.-With the cleo

placed the campaign management IN

unknown so far as state politics are
concerned. II is true that the real

is generally regarded as some poll

upper part of the state are sulking and
while they will not bolt, are doing and
probably will do nothing 10 make their
retirement absolute and permanent.
Then in business circles there is "A
strong anti Roosevelt feeling, which is
liable 10 have an important bearing on
the result of the election. How strong
this is is largely Il matter of conlee-

With the Democrats, the situation is

PLENTY OF OLD JUNK
ON THEPANAMA CANAL
BY Associated Press.


WASHINGTON, Oct. s.-An accumu-
lation of surplus and unserviceable
equipment is reported by the isthmian
canal commission as on hand IN the
canal zone. Owing TO the increase OF
dead stock on the isthmus, estimated
as amounting to between 100000 and
100000, it has been determined to
build n storehouse for condemned prop
erty.
The canal commission finds difficulty
in disposing of heavy machinery which
would-be purchasers have no opportu-
nifty to see The new plan is 10 allow
the stock to accumulate on the isthmus
until there is sufficient quantity to
warrant prospective buyers visiting
the isthmus TO see it.
1t is believed that a great deal of
this material could be sold to BUYERS
in Central and South America, as well
as In the United States.
