n. Y. DEMOCRATS
ARE UNEASY

NEW YORK, October 10,-The de-
mocrats are beginning to chafe little
under the repeated assertions that all
the corporations. the financial inter-
ests, the big money lenders with for
eign names, the Wall street gamblers,
the railroad magnates and silk-hatted
habitues of 5th avenue clubs are sup
porting the democratic ticket this
year. The information that they are
thus aligned is gratifying, of course,
but some of the leaders fear that rel
teration of it may react when it be-
gins to seep into the comprehension
of the plain people,
It is a novel position for the demo-
cratic party to be placed in. This is
the first campaign since Cleveland's
time when the democrats have been
able to get to the pie counter. Here
tofore they have stood by and abused
the republicans for trust affiliations.
Republican leaders already are pre-
pairing to disseminate the glad tidings
that Andrew Carnegie has contributed
$4,000 to the democratic campaign
fund. They think it will be worth
$4,000 to the republican candidate to
have it understood thoroughly by
every voter that some of the interest
on those steel trust bonds is going into
the democratic campaign fund.

row wilson may not be cognizant OF

In Ohio it is well known that Gov
Harmon, the democratic candidate fol

and corporation interests, and the

BOTH MEN READY FOR
THE FIFTEEN MILE RACE

Though King has undoubtedly done
the better work in training as far as
times are concerned, Kaoo Is still ia
yorite for the race, but the difference
is but slight Ten to eight on Kaoo
were the quotations last night, but
this will probably be beaten down to
even money before the race starts, as
the King element is now more con-
iident than ever Kings breakdown
on Thursday was not a serious matter
but it was enough to shake support in
him in some quarters. Kaoo's back
ers have been confident all along and
now that the time for the race is at
hand their trust in their champion has
not diminished.
The race will be started at $3.50
o'clock on Athletic park.
