that while the milliOnairSS are going 10
vote for Dix TO take a slap at Roose-
Welt their Wallets, chauffeurs and ser
wants are going 10 vote for Stimson,
inS- because they think the big guns
are trying to down Teddy"
In this connection, the pole Of a big
hotel in New York city the other day
is interesting. II showed that many Of
the guests and the leading people about
the establishment were for Dix. bur
that the corps Of walters and most CO
! the other employees were for Stimsoa.
They had concluded 10 vote with RoOse-
welt
Chance for Stimson.
Under all the circumstances, it is
fair conclusion that Sumson's chances
are not yet eliminated and that effective
campaigning this week may serve TO
pull him through The figures given
out from Democratic and Republican
headquarters at best are mere GUesses.
The under-currents and cross-currents
are such that they cannot be accurately
/ fathomed. and the w'sest politicians
are saying frankly they do not know
what VIII happen. They are prepared
/ for almost anything, from a landslide
| for Dix To the election OF Stimson by
small plurality.
4 feature Of the campaign I'm New
York this week VIII be Colonel Roose-
Velt's speeches in New York CITY to-
morrow. He viii make q number Of
| them and IS expected 10 stir up many
votes for StimsOn. Especially, do the
/ leaders calculate that Roosevelt is going
/ 10 roll up heavy East Side vote for
/ StimSon.
Root Out of Fight.
/ Senator Root will make no more
! speeches. limitations are given that
| he has been called off the stump. At
any rate, state Chairman Prentice has
announced that Mr.. Root will make no
more speeches II is given out his
| physician has advised this
! But gossip is busy saying that some
/ Of the Republican leaders are not pleas
cd with Roots Friday night speech and
! that Roosevelt himself is displeased with
/ Roots illusions 10 himself
/ MI. Root in substance said that Re
publican defeat In New York would
! be construed as repudiating the Admin
/ istratiou and might lead the Republi-
J can national convention TO hunt another
! Moses. either Mr.. Roosevelt or some
I one more radical.
/ Whatever Nj. Roosevelt thinks Of
! Mr. Roots utterances, IL is plain that
| some of the Taft supporters are not
/ pleased. They are disappointed because
I they hoped Mr.. Root would be able
! 10 say positively that Roosevelt would
] not take the denomination instead. ne
| I'm substance warned dissfeCted Repub-
/ leans that they could elect Stmsou
| and stand by Taft or take Roosevelt

Mr.. HeaTSt's Views.
! William r Hearst has added 10 the
/ interest of the New York campaign
/ by giving out letter in which he
says he Is not in any sense sup
/ porter of Mr. Roosevelt. At the same
1 time. he says he is with him in the
autI-boss fight Mr. Hearst in HIS
letter. says Of Mr.. Roosevelt:
Il know him TO he astonishly incon-
/ sisteut. and / cannot reconcile so EreaJ
! Inconsistency with sincerity or with
/ high purpose.
I know him TO be ambitious, vain
I and selfish. reckless and erratic, and !
/ DO not consider these qualities COM
! patibIe with a sound policy OF a safe
J conduct Of public affairs"
! At the same time. 1Ir. Hearst says
/ ne is not so prejudiced against Mr..
| Roosevelt that he Will not cooperate
! with him in worthy cause lie takes
a slam at Mr.. Roosevelt by saying that
/ he dep0sed Boss Barnes and installed
Mr. Root as boss
In New Jersey.
In the New Jersey night the indica-
lions are that Woodrow Wilson is go
ing to win. His speeches have wor
him much support His straightfOr
ward replies to the questions put e
him have given many Of the voters
/ overcome. and it is not 10 be forgotten
