MR. Fox's LITTLE BUREAU ISN'T
OPEN FOR FUN.

Where Are the Eminent Citizens who Want
to Go On the Republican State Ticket
Republican College Boys Ready to Whoop
1t didn't appear until last evening just why
Reuben L. Fox. chief clerk OF the Republican
State Committee. came down from Albany on
Monday and opened that single room In the
Fifth Avenue Hotel This room Is on the FIRST
floor. and is accessible from all the doors OF the
hotel. Election day 10 Nov. Z. and the Repub-
lican State Convention Is called for Syracuse
on Oct. q Mr. Fox has therefore opened head
quarters month before the Convention and
two months before election day. In other
words perhaps not THEORETICALLY elegant they
come from Republican, 1.-The Republicans
are first on the ground with their mouths. but
1t looks as II they would be pretty late with
their candidates"
Mr.. Fox is very we'll known to Republicans.
and all testified yesterday to his unswerving
fidelity and startling loyalty to his party. Mr..
Fox has lived for many years in Albany. and
long time ago he gave up drinking the slack
water of the Hudson just above Albany and
lust below Troy. He has drunk mineral wa
tors for many years Wherever he has been in
the United States he has carried with him his
supply OF these waters Travelling over the
plains OF the far West and junketlnG up
through the Northwestern States. Mr.. Fox has
always boon accompanied by goodly supply
OF mineral water. Yet. strange to say. he has
brought none to New York on this last trip.
Maybe he thought he could get most kinds
here. but the explanation generally accepted
10 that no was in such hurry to get here and
throw open tho doors Of that room that he had
no time to lug along with him his usual sup
ply Of effervescent waters.
To put It very mildly. the G. o. P. OF the I'm
perial State cannot live on nominations alone.
There must be something to carry along the
candidates. and the candidates arc to be made
aware OF this fact before the Convention meets
in Syracuse. Mr.. Foxs bureau is open all day
md far into the night. Those who would like
to register their names as candidates for the
Court OF Appeals bench. Secretary OF State.
State Treasurer, Comptroller. Attorney; Gen
books open. The candidates can then have in
teryiews with the Republican leaders Of the
more candidates that present themselves the

Tho Republican college boys had meeting
at tho Filth Avenue Hotel yesterday. and it
was determined hereafter that the principles
OF the G. o. p. shall be strenuously inculcated
in the minds Of the growing collegians. D. +

decided to lay out the country in sections. and
by educational means. speeches. debates, and
constant agitation to awaken the college boys
