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.

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

Mr. Crum is a Democrat, but on
several occasions the younger element

him for re-nomlnation. Each time,
however, he has been nominated by

"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."
