We have been planning monster pro-
pressive rally in Madison Square
Garden, this city, Wednesday night.
Democrats have same immense build
ing Thursday night. Republicans had
it engaged for Friday night. RepubIi-
cans have abandoned their contract
for garden and forfeited $4,000 they
had deposited. Our state committee
has taken the garden for the night the
republicans gave up and will hold an
other immense meeting in Madison
Square Garden Friday night. Swing
in New York is so admittedly in our
favor that it accounts for republicans
abandoning their meeting and giving
up the garden and our ability to take
it. So far as we know in no national
campaign has any party undertaken
to hold two immense rallies in Madi-
son Square Garden within forty-eght
hours of each ether. The fact that
the republicans dare not attempt even
one meeting in New York City and
that we can hold two within forty
eight hours of each other as the cam.
paign comes to a close is proof that
the republicans are down and out in
this state and the Taft cause is hope
less. OF course If Taft cannot carry
New York there is not a shadow of
chance for him in the nation. All the
news is our way this week. Colonel
Roosevelt is gaining strength rapidly.
