MR.. BLACKS PRESENT PLANS
Mr. Rlack was asked If he intended to conduct
a speechmaking campaign in this State. He
replied that he did not at present see that there
was any necessity for it. While Warner Miller
and J. Sloat Fassett had made such campaigns,
they had done so at time when the Republican
marty was probably in a minority. Now 1t was
IN a large majority and It's prospects were
bright Proba bly, the Democratic leaders would
attempt TO limit their campaign TO state mat
,ers and would endeavor to make state issues
the exclusive ones Republicans believed that
National issues were the prominent ones thls
wear and would not be diverted from them, al
though they would not avoid discussion OF
State matters.
Mr. Black clearly does not intend TO do any
thing Of moment as the Republican candidate
for Governor until the Democratic state Coh-
ven,on has indicated whether it intends TO IN
dorse the Anarchist platform adopted at Om-
cago He also desires to know Whether tne
Sound Money Democrats will nominate can
didate for Governor at their convention J"
Brooklyn on September "a. II there are 10 pe
two Democratic State tickets in the field each
with a separate National and State platform, IL
viii he to the interest of the Republican party
and 70 his interest as it's candidate for Gov
ernor to know the fact before engaging much
in political discussion.
