O n the ev e of the battle optimist

ire the great Importance of controll
ing the New York delegation which’
will cast ninety votes when the bal

tsge they will have throughout*

New York. ’
Under the New York law the con
gressional committees of the parties
authorised by the law meet and
nominate delegates to bo voted for
In the primaries. AS practically alt
of the congressional committees of
the Republican party were controlled
by Taft people, the delegates nom
inated pre Taft men. Thdre are
exceptions In only a few districts.
Under the law the Roosevelt men, to
oppose these delegates, ware com
pelled to put their men on'the bal
lot by petition.
Statcsmenta given out today as
the headquarters of tho Roosevelt
Committee, in the tower' of the .
Metropolitan Llfo Building, were to
tho effect that the Rooaevelt sup-
porters are well sstlsflod with tho
outlook. They bellevt that Colonel
Roosevelt will make a showing In •_ ■’
