Will Stick to Sure Thing.
"a, business man. do not believe IN
..,nrilling our present prosperity or eX-
longing a sure thing for untried
theories. -,
n, sheldon has been a inancier OF
.-o,,,nence for years. He has been treas
r,s- ~ the Republican County Committee
the slate committee. and, as already salu'
.,hs national committee four years ago
us rsnresentcd New York State on the
national committee for two years. f"r
many years Mr.. Sheldon was warm
,,,snA of Theodore Roosevelt. but the
,,sssnt venture Of the colonel as candi-
cate in opposition 10 the regular Rcpuo-
uean candidate has turned Mr. Sheldon
against him. -.
Il c. Warmoth. who was Governor OF
Louisiana from 1855 20 1872. dropped ID

ri, vsv South from the Adirondacks'
-b.rs he had been since the national
reHeniion. He expressed his peHet tha'
ne ranl; and file Of the Republicans IN
Louisiana would stand by President Tart
Wifi. many Democrats would be lured 70
ibe Roosevelt cause by Colonel John NJ.
Parker. who is an independent Democrd'
Of great popularity.
"a strong fight is TO be made Tor the
Republican electors in our state. sara MI
Wsrnoth There is every reason why
louisiana should nc in the TAFT column
IN November. The two greatest industries
IN our state are sugar and rice. Inc
Democratic House forced through Dill
placing sugar on the free list. The Dill
s locked I'D for this session. but II Is
perfectly plain that II Wilson is elected
sugar will be put on the free list.
Thinks Now York Is for Taft.
Ivan yechten Olcott, former Congress
man and nov president Of the Republican
Cub declared Yesterday the claims or the
Wilson and Roosevelt managers about
New York state were absurd. He said
his personal feeling was that Taft would
carry the state by a substantial plurality
81 believe that Taft will get all the
conservative votes OF the Republican
party" said Mr.. Olcott. land that a
neat many Democrats who believe In ex-
perienoe rather than theory will also cast
their votes for him. Roosevelt will prob
ABLY get tho Hearst vote Hearst's sup
porters will not vote for Taft or Wilson
with Roosevelt a candidate. II Roose-
welt were not In the field they would be
apt to vote the Democratic or the Social
istic ticket. In my opinion the conditions,
in % far as greater New York City is con-
cerned. are similar TO those that existed
10 the Mayoralty election when Barnard,
aaynor and Hearst ran. except that the
candidate for President will command
more party votes than any candidate for
Mayor could In other words, Taft will
b stronger than Barnard was.
"A great deal Of talk is heard about
TIE detection OF the farmers in the upper
nr Of the state, on account OF the
Presidnrs views in regard TO reciprocity.
There Is no doubt that many Of the
farmers feel strongly OIL that subject, but
think when il is considered that the
Upstate farmer Is naturally a republican,
he will neither vote for Wilson. with MS
tsrlf views. nor will he join third
party, which cannot possibly be elected
and, therefore. by the time November
comes he will vote as he has been doing
Inc straight Republican ticket.
IL seems 10 me that Mr.. Roosevelt
candidacy makes Republican victory IN
New York certain. OF course. the FRO
sfessiyes are claiming everything out SO
Old the supporters Of Mr.. Bryan in 1880
u that year supporters OF Mr. Bryan
were declaring him elected in August
gu the result OF the vote In November
showed that the great mass OF the V o.en'

sutuiion, and Mr.. Mckinley was elected
