The democrats in New York are ueguming io male a lit lie under ilie repeated assertions that all the corporations. the financial interests, the big money lenders with foreign ?iamea. the Wall street gamblers, the railroad magnates and ailk-h.itted habitues of nth avunue clubs are supporting the democratic ticket this year. These men are afraid of Roosevelt and his ticket and look lo the Democrats to give them justice. It is a novel position for 'lie democratic party to he placed in. This is the first campaign since Cleveland's time when the democrats have been able to get to the pie counter. Heretofore they have stood by anJ abused tlie republicans for trust affiliations. Republican leaders already are preparing to dessemiuate t'ae news that Audrew Carnegie concontribuled $:"?l).000 to the democrat campaign fund. Carnegie sa>s Roosevelt wants to become dictator and must be beaten. Not alone in New York state is the democratic party the "reactionary" party this year and the republican the "radical." In New Jersey, the democrats are being supported by the interests." It is openlvcharged lit financial circles that the New Jer*?ey democratic campaign is being financed by .1. P. Morgan's office. Prof. Wood row Wilson may not he cognizant or it. hut it is being declared with great positiveness to be the fact. The reason assigned for this support is that the financial interests are grooming Prof. Wilson to oppose Roosevelt in 15*1:1. In Ohio it is well known that Gov. Harmon, the democratic candidate lor re-election, is bucked by the moneyed and corporation interests, anil the campaign is receiving aid from New York, all with the object of attempting to check republican success for fear that Roosevelt will trol of that party in the nation aa he Las iu New York. j In Indiana Heverldge is fighting a toue hand with practically empty war bags, while the democrats are gcttiug substantial aid from sources that hitherto supplied the Republican party. It is pathetic to hear the Republicans whimper about their forlorn and de*erte<i coudition. It is as if the pampered son of the household had been turned out to eat his bread and cuoiasses on the back stoop, while ? Interloper sat at "the first table. ' And they are not exaggerating their woes, either. It is an absolute fact that the Republican campaign fund is as poor as a church mouse, t he collectors report that 'hey only "get the laugh" when they travel well-worn roads of the past in search of contributions. The head of one of the great financial institutions, which heretofore Las been generous to the Republicans. made this remark to the writer: "We don't care if a Democratic iu l* ? " * ?...... ... . ........ I. mining mean a deadlock on legislation, and the le?s legislation we gel the better wo will like it. We would enjoy a rest for two years. ilesides, it will do the It'-publicans good to get h licking and make us stronger in If lit." (The Republican managers groan when they hear statements such as tihtA. They realize they are 'up against it' tor fair. Tlte roseate Democratic prospects in New York and New Jersey are reflected in Connecticut, and the Democrats are working in the Nutmeg wtate as they haven't worked f ?r years. Not since 1881! hare I hi* Democrats elected a governor in Connecticut, but they feel that it is coming their way this time. They have a very strong candidate In Judge Simon K. Haldwin, of New Haven, a man or higli character and clean record. The Republican plurality of lf>.t?0t? which the late (lov. IJ1 ley received is rather staggering when they get down to ligures, but they comfort themselves with the thought, that all figures fall in landslides. and they believe this is the year of landslides. Kven if they don't carry the state they feel confident of winning one congressional district, the second, now represented by N. I). Sperry, bti< who declined lenomination. In New Vork state the campaign i getting under way somewhat slowly and the new campaign managers ar getting their hearings gradually and lining up their speakers. The Republicans are wailing after Roosevelt, "Father, O Father, Come Home With Me Now. ' and are absolutely up ? slump until he gets back and sia?-'a his promised whirlwind campaign. j*? SWEEP IN NEW YORK VHTOICY FOlt THK DKMOCRATS IS ( KltTAIN TIIKKK. TIinI In the Wiiy It liuoks to the 1'o.stniM.stor of Mobile, Who Is a Republican. A Washington dispatch says it is an unusual thing for a Republican leaerai omcenoider to admit that a Democratic victory is possible, even when it appears to be a certainty to the rest of mankind, hut there is one such in Washington. lie is Postmaster 1*. It. Barker, of Mobile, Ala., who is just back from New York State, where he had both eyes and ears open and learned a few things. "It seeius to be in the air all over New York state," observed this southern Republican, "that the Democratic ticket will make a clean sweep at. the coming election. Mind you, it will not be ?o much a Democratic party, as an anti-Roosevelt triumph. Of course, the Democrats will read the advantage?that is inevitable, but it is the conservative business men of both parties who are moving now to head Roosevelt off from the nomination for president in 1912. "People at a distance hardly realize the trentendus significance of the revolt against Roosevelt in the Union Dengue Club, which is composed of Republicans who are at the very top in New York financial circles." "Reports received from the east and west are most encouraging, and there is every indication that the next house will be controlled by the Democrats," said Representative Finley, of South Carolina, vice chairman of the Democratic congressional committee. who is in charge of the headquarters there. "That issue." he said, "is the cost of living, and the people are impressed with the fact that the in creased price of foodstuffs is caused by the Payne-Aldrieh tariff. Insurgency in the west has split the Republicans in that section as free silver did the Democrats in the east in 1S94. "While the Democrats now are most hopeful, they are not Idle, and in every debatable district they are waging a war on the high price of livinir Wlmi ) \ei.. he is doing good work for us." 4tl.lt A<JK IM)i:s NOT 114>1.1* HACK. <'amliilnte Eighty-si* Years 4>l<l Is Very Aetlve.

"What's the matter with Kansas?" has be come obsolete now. and has been supersed, as far as the Tuft administration and its friends are concerned, by query, "What's the matter with Ohio?" says tin Washington correspondent of tin State. And one of the strange things about It is that nobody can answer the question, though all are agreed that there is something wrong as between the Buckeye Republicans and their "favorite son" president. A few days ago. when Warren (1. Harding, the Republican candidate for governor of Ohio, against Gov. Harmon, was on the speech-making tour in the Northern portion of Ohio, the chairman of the Repuoliein county committees in some of the strongest Republican counties of the State sought him out and told hiiu that he had better not make any complimentary references to tbe national administration. t\lr. Harding is said to have asked why he should not make any such remarks, but only answer he could get was that the Republicans of those parts "wouldn't stand for it. It is freely stated that the G. O. l\ followers in the upper countries are at outs with Taft. but nobody knows just why. One Republican party manaeer, when asked why this state of mind toward the Taft administration exists in Ohio, said: "If you can analyze this state of mind of the body of the Republican voters in Ohio, and accurately chart the currents and cross-currents in the public mind that are affecting and cr.vstalizlng public opinion. you will do more than any of us have been able to do. We nil know that things are not as they should be. and Uhat the drift is i against us: but its like trying to solve a Chinese puzzle in the dark to know how to find our way out of the maze. "We know there is restlessness and uneasiness and dissatisfaction among the voters of the State. With some it is caused by the high cost of living and disapproval of the new tariff law. Others are disgusted with the personnel of the manager* and leaders of the party in this State. "With others. It is a feeling that the time has come for a general house cleaning and change. If tbe feeling of revolt is as strong on election day as it is now there will be a clean sweep. The same causes is that brought about the overturn in Maine are operating here. There ha* been Republican gratt in the State house at Columbus, which Gov. Harmon has opposed, so that, just as in Maine, State issues are co-mingied with national issues to brush the Republicans out of office."

The Genuine opposition to bossisiu has ?ot hold of a number of Unpeople of Ohio, instead of the manu- , faetttred enlist it ntes which was ma- 1 nipuluted in New York to Rive lloosevelt some more publicity. The people of the Huckeye State, I accord in s; to the |>olirieul observers I whose eyes have been strained upon that commonwealth for many days, j are Genuinely opposed to bossfton, and that means that they are op pot, ed to fox and his machine. Cox and his machine dominated llardinu. and Cox and his machine stand in | the Good Graces of the national adI ministration. Therefore, the people are lukewarm toward the Republican president and the Republican candidate for Governor. Ross Cox himself, two days before [the Republican convention met in I Ohio, declared that Hardinu cou.d I not t>e elected, evell if nnmiiiul/i/i i The trend of events now indicates J ihat the boss knew what he was talki inK about.
