PARKER of New York. For Vice-President HENRY G. DAVIS of West Virginia OUR PROSPECTS. The Indianapolis News the leading paper of Indiana, independent, but l with a leaning to republicanism, has a very interesting article on “The Democratic Outlook,” It says: “The democratic party is evidently entering on this campaign with a Courage and hope such as it has not known for years. What are their chances of winning? It all probabiity the whole south including Deleware, Maryland and West Virginia will cast its electoral vote for Parker. If it does that ticket will have 169 votes to start, with leaving seventy short of a majorty. The democrats will have to carry New York if they are to I stand the remotest show of win- ' ning. So, in figuring their chances ' —the assumption being that they ■ have a chance—we must give them that state. In truth the best ob- • servers believe, at this time that New York is more likely to vote for Parker than for Roosevelt. With, the thirty nine votes of New York Judge Parker would have 208 votes or thirty one less than necessary. Where is he to get these from?” It goes on to answer the question that there is a chance for democrats to carry Colorado which gave Bryan 29,000 plurality four years ago. It says there is some hope of the the democrats carrying Illinois. With the solid south, New York, Colorado and Illinois the democrats would have 240 electoral votes or one more than needed to make a majority. It also figures New York, Connecticut and Indian i in the doubtful column, which with New York and the south would give the democrats 242 votes or three votes to spare. It says also that the democrats have a possible chance in Wisconsin. It says Wisconsin is attraotve fighting ground for the dem. crats.
