New York, Oct. 23,-Campaign man
ayers are revising plans and altering ar
rangements for the closing of the presi
dental campaign. The injury to Colo
mel Roosevelt, the withdrawal of Gov
ernor 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 n con-
ecntraton Of activity in the sections
where the campaign managers believe
the outlook is most favorable for the
capture of disputed ground. Governor
johnson, Progressive vice presidential
candidate, is to I'LL in most Of Colonel
Roosevelt's proposed engagements in the
east, and the Democratic leaders are
rushing number of their chief speak
ers into Pennsylvania and New York
to take up the work planned originally
for Governor Wilson.
The Democratic campaign probably
will center in Pennsylvania from this
time forth. A score of Democratic SEN
ators and congressman, who have been
speaking throughout the country, will
be sent into the state this week, in the
hope of making inroads on heretofore
solid Republican ground. Democratic
leaders have determined upon Colorado,
Idaho, Nebraska, Kansas, Nevada and
New Jersey as states where they will
concentrate efforts to carry the state
legislatures, in the hope of electing
Democrats to succeed Republicans in the
United States Senate
The Republican campaign also is to
be quickened in the east, with concen.
