The Platform.
Following is the platform. SO far as
adopted by the committee tonight:
I'VE hold that self-government is the
foundation principle of American liberty
and OF a true Democracy. We therefore
oppose paternalism. socialism and the con-
troll OF one class by another. Each citizen
has the right to order his own life, pro-
vided he respects the rights of others of
the commonweal, voiced in just laws, and
each community must maintain the same
right as the charter of its political we'll
being.

New YORK State will be made healthier IL
our State officers and legislators shall hon.
estly and competently govern the State
, rather than to strive to rule the nation or
hold home rule for cities and other local
communities throughout the State.
I'VE advise voters TO scrutinize most care
fully the character. record and. political
opinions of candidates for the State Senate
and Assembly, and thus Eberate our great
state from such silent. secret and sinister

I'VE affirm that self-government and

Greenhalge Delegation Chosen.
SPRINGFIELD. Mass. Sept. 2.-The Re-
publican caucuses in western Massachu-
sets tonight were rather disappointing to
the friends OF ex-Lieutenant Governor
Halle. as the indications are that large
majority of the delegates chosen are favor
able to Governor Greenhalge. Springfield.

Greenhalge delegation. There was but one

The small towns Of Hampshire and Berk-
shire counties seem TO have elected almost
solid Greenhalge delegations, and the fact
that in great many instances the dele
gates are identified with those sent a year
ago seems TO strengthen the theory that
they will vote to renominate the Governor.
