Show I Expect New York, New Jersey, i il l j Connecticut and Massachu- ! 11 setts to Follow Maine. i I' ij HAVE. SOME STRONG MEN '!', AT HEAD OF TICKETS ! '. . i ( ij Republican Factional Fight in ; f . New York Will Help the : Opposition. ' BY ROBERT LEE CARTER. I J-.,, y Leased Wire to The Tribune. . :, NEW YORK, Sept. 17. With Judge Simon Baldwin named ns enndidato for J governor of Connecticut and President I Woodrow Wilson of Princeton for gov- I crnor of New .Torso' by tho Democrats, . ' and with the probable nomination in j , York of Mayor Gaynor and in Mnssa- . j chusetts of Congressman Foss, tho Dom- J ' i ocrats of the oast are going in the I . , present political campaign firmly con- j vinced that the result in Maine will be , 1 'duplicated in tho four states named. I , It can be truthfully said that tho Re- ' I "publicans are not going into the game ' I - 'with any decree of confidence. I I 1 In New York particularly, the fight I ' between the4 Roosevelt and anti-Boose- ' velt factions for control is so bitter ! I , I that it seems almost impossible for 1 "! them to get together by the time of ' ! 1 I election. One of tho Roosevelt leaders J . in discussing the situation said today: i ;l Hope in Progressives! ' ' " "The oul' hope for the Republican I ' partv this year is for the domination ' .of the convention by tho progressives and the nomination of candidates 'i 5 whose identification "with progressive i i ij ideas is beyond question. Even then j it. is possible that the machine will be short-sighted enough to knife the ' 1 ticket. No matter what the result of the ejection may be, it will leave Colo- . nel . Roosevelt in full control of tho 1 party." ! l, J In Connecticut and Massachusetts 1 k tho Democratic party is united as it , J i has not been since the first Bryan cam.- , paign, and tho greatest confidence is t expressed that the same influence 1 which placed Maine in the Democratic ( column will operate in the other New I , England states. President Wilson is i, preparing; to make a whirlwind cam i paign in New Jersey, and expresses ' great confidence in the outcome. |
