SARATOGA, N. Y, Sept. 1.-THE
state Republican convention closed
Its session tonight, after following
very closely the work mapped out
by its leaders. 1t named the follow
ing ticket for presentation to the
people of the state in November
next: For secretary of state, John
Palmer, Of Albany; comptroller,
James e. Roberts, of Erie; state
treasurer, A. B. Colvin, of Warren:
state engineer, c. w. Adams, of
Oneida; attorney general, F. E. Han
cock, of Onondaga; judge of the
court of appeals, c. E. Martin, of
| Broome.
+ The platform demands enforce
ment of the Sunday liquor law and
| preservation of the Sabbath. 1t
scores the Democratic administra-
ton for failing to defend the rights
or American citizens, resident or
ttravelfng, in foreign countries, and
tfor permitting foreign countries to
encroach on the Western hemisphere.
iIhe tariff and the handling of the
Edeficiency question by the last Dem
.ocratlc congress receive condemna-
ton, and a sound and stable cur
srency, giving the people a dollars
worth for dollar, is indorsed. The
/ return of prosperity is hailed as re-
.sult1ng from the election of a Repub-
lican congress, giving confidence to
the people in the assurance that no
further tariff tinkering will be possi-
BILE. The ignorance and unwise pol
icy Of the Democrats in passing an
unconstitutional income tax is re-
ferred to, and the favorable record
of the Republicans in congress in
their opposition to that law.
I. 4 Gov, Morton's wise and patriotic
administration is indorsed and his
candidacy for the presidency formal
ly launched. The dangers to the peo-
pie Of return Of the Democratic
party to power in this state are
portrayed, the resolutions asserting
that the same men who have been
repudiated by the voters are still
in charge of the affairs of the DEM
ocratic party in this state, and that
their return to power will mean but
a repetition of the old outrages.
The Raines ballot reform law is
pointed to as the best enactment for
ballot reform yet passed in this state.
The platform further sets forth that
the demands of the people in the
city of New York have been granted
in reform legislation
FOLLOWED THE LEADER.
. That the convention was a close fol-
lowing of the work mapped out is evil
dent from the fact that the security
DOSS1Dle
! by the vote of one man. When the
morning sun broke over Saratoga it
saw such iron-bound plans for the
convention that it was conceded that
there would be no friction, and that
the plans of the state committee would
be carried out. After the opening ses-
sion there appeared on the horizon a
cloud Of discomfort that grew so rapid
ly that at 8 o'clock the fate of the
state officers seemed to be sealed
against denomination The trouble
arose over the contest for seats in the
First district, and hinged on the seat
Ing of the contesting delegation headed
by Congressman Mahany. With
everything apparently running smooth
ly, the leaders were suddenly confront
ed with the statement made by State
Committeeman George Urban Jr., and
Senator Parsons, that If the Mahany
delegation was seated the Erie county
delegation would leave the convention
and Mr.. Roberts name would be with
drawn, thus breaking the slate.
When the convention met the COM
mittee reported against Mr.. Mahany.
1t was learned. that the vote was 16
against, and Is for, the deciding vote
having been cast by Mr.. Wheeler, of
averted. The next nearest approach
to a break came when Warner Miller
introduced his resolution for the pro-
lection of the American Sabbath, and
the carrying out of the excise laws.
The leaders, who had proclaimed
against any excise action, accepted
the situation and the result was that
all friction ceased. Action on enlarge
ment Of the state committee was
tabled, and local Sunday option for
counties was also killed.
OVATION FOR PLATT.
The first arrivals at the convention
hall were bevies Of beautiful girls
There were more women present than
at any convention in years. At 1920 |
Mr.. Platt entered the hall and there
was an uproar that was astonishing,
men standing on the seats and cheer

pure politics and therefore of the ma !

the chairman asking for any substi- |

enthusiasm when the names of prom |
