New York Campaign Sparks Busy Day, Cars Scarce
With four weeks to election day, both major parties mobilize in New York City. Republicans plan extended tours for Theodore Roosevelt and Henry L. Stimson, aided by Sherman and a Taft cabinet spokesman, but scarce private cars force longer rail or sleeper journeys. Democratic organizer Moningsel A. Huppuch shifts to businesslike headquarters operations, forming a statewide speakers bureau and scheduling campaigns across counties led by Francis Burton Harrison. Carnegie’s rumored 350000 donation is denied by officials.
