Of renewed confidence in the ability

OHIO GOVERNOR
SEES LANDSLIDE
SAYS WILSON WILL GET MAORI
TY OVER ct. r." AND
TAFT.

NEW YORK, Oct. 31.-Political
pulmotOrs, in the hands of William
Barnes, Jr., Theodore Roosevelt and
Gov. Judson Harmon, of Ohio, pump
ed back some of the breath of real
life into the presidential campaign
today and tonight At an important
conference in the Manhattan Hotel,
Mr.. Barnes and Senator Elihu Root
told the President some brutal truths
about the desperate needs of the re-
publican cause; Col. Roosevelt at
Oyster Bay put his final 20. K" on
the plans of the bull moose revival
meeting at Madison Square, and Gov
Harmon played Haround-AlRaschid
about the streets of New York.
These three moves put fire and ac-
ton into all three headquarters.
From the standpoint of human in
terest Gov. Harmon's adventure was
the most important, but in their hear
ing on the result the Barnes-Taft and
the bull moose attitude toward that
conference outweigh. Mr.. Taft was
told by several of his friends who
have as many irons in the fire as-he
has, that he must issue something
wit ha punch" in it If he wishes to
retrieve things. The extraordinary
proposal was made that, shortly be-
fore the election, he issue brief
statement, addressed, not to the vot-
ers of the United States, but to my
Fellow Republicans" declaring that
the present good times and his sue
cessful administration have taken the
tariff and trust questions out of the
controversy, and the only issue IL:
"Shall Theodore Roosevelt be permit
ted on next Tuesday to destroy the
republican party"
