for the Closing Fortnight.

Is Most Favorable.
MADISON SQUARE MEETINGS
If Roosevelt Speaks in New York
October 80, Woodrow Wilson Will
Follow Him the Next Night.

NEW YORK, October 22-Campagn
managers are revising plans and altering
arrangements for the wind-up of the pres
idential fight The injury to Col Roose-
welt, the voluntary withdrawal of Gov.
Wilson from the stump, and the fact that
neither President Taft nor Vice President
Sherman has taken part in the active
work of the campaign have resulted in
changing plans in all three of the chief
political camps.
The ensuing two weeks will witness a
concentration of activity in the sections
where the respective campaign managers
believe the outlook is most favorable for
the capture of disputed ground. Gov.
Johnson. progressive vice presidential can
didate, is to fill in most of Col. Roose-
velt's proposed engagements in the east,
and the democratic leaders are rushing
number of their chief SPEAKERS into Penn
sylvania and New York to take up the
work planned originally for Gov Wilson.
The democratic campaign Will center IN
Pennsylvania from this time forth, &C
cording to statements made here.
A score of democratic senators and rep
resentatives in Congress, who have been
speaking throughout the country, will be
sent into the state this week, in the hope
of making inroads on heretofore solid re-
publican ground.
Republicans in New York.
The republican fight also is to be quick
ened in the east, with a concentration Of
forces in New York state. Secretary Of
State Knox is to deliver number of
speeches in eastern cities. including Buff
falo and New York. 1t is expected that
Senator Lodge and Secretary Meyer will
join the republican speaking force which
already includes Secretaries Nagel and
Wilson. Former Representative j. Adam
Bede and John NJ Harlan of Chicago.
who followed Col. Roosevelt throughout
his western tour, will stump New Eng
land and eastern states until election.
Col. ROoSevelt's arrival from Chicago
today was not expected to alter progress
sive plans. Senator Joseph M. Dixon had
determined to leave to the judgment OF
Col. Roosevelt's doctors the question OF
his appearance October 30 at the big pro-
gressive rally at Madison Square Garden,
New York, but progressive leaders were
hopeful that the candidate would be able
to join Gov. johnson and Oscar S. StrauS
in that demonstration.
Wilson to Take Cue From Roosevelt.
Should he speak there. Gov. Wilson will
probably speak in the same hall at a
democratic rally the following night.
Democratic leaders have determined
upon Colorado, Idaho, Nebraska, Kansas.
Nevada and New Jersey as the states
where they will concentrate efforts to
carry the state legislatures, in the hope
of electing democrats to succeed republic
cans in the United States Senate.
