controversy over the so-called, here

alent belief that In case the st. Louis
convention does not select the presi-
dental candidate from New York. the
Vice presidential nomination will GER
tainly go 20 this state. For New York
Is still one of the pivotal states OF the
Union. and there have been but four
elections in which at least one OF the
various candidates for president or
vlce-presldent has not been taken from
this state. These elections were those
of 1928, 1852, 1860 and 1854. In all the
other elections at least one, and often
two, New York men have been voted for
as candidates for president or Vice
president. In 1865 New York furnished
the Democratic candidate for president.
In 1872 the state gave Horace Greedy
to the Democrats mud Liberal Republic
cans. In 1916 New York furnished the
Democratic candidate for president and
the Republican candidate for yice-pres-
ldeut, in 1850 the state supplied the
Republican candidate for vice-presi-
furnished tho Democratic candidate
for president In Grover Cleveland. and
In 1888 and 1892 the Republican candl-
dates for vlce-president We're taken
from New York. This year II Is prob
able that one Of the four candidates,
and possibly two. will be selected from
this state. IN case the two parties

candidates II would probably he re-
garded as good politics to tail the
Vice presidential nominees from New
York. II Mckinley should be nominat-
ed At st. Louis, his managers might
naturally desire to strengthen him In
New York, where he Is weakest. by Sc
Letting his running mate from this
state. New York has a crowd OF tall
ented Republican politicians who would
be glad OF this promotion, although the
vice. presidency Is not an attractive
position to n leader OF high class Nor
ton, who has been vice president once,
and is understood TO have practically
refused the same position twice, would
scarcely accept the second place on the
ticket after having been candidate
for the highest honor, although. " Har-
rison should again be nominated. there
would be q strong temptation to make
the ticket the same aa that which car
ried the election In 1SSS--Hnrrison and
Morton. Several aspiring New York
Republicans are suspected OF nourish-
Ing private designs on the vice-presi-
dency, but. as long az Morton Is in the
field for the presidency. II would be re-
garded as dlsloyal TO him tn enter into
any deals for the second place
