Tho Hon. benjamin B Odel. Jr.. Chairman
OF the Republican State Committee, and Mrs.
Odell and others Of the family are to sail on

bly,. number of Mr.. Odel's friends were at

"Thc Republican party throughout the state
is well organized and is united in almost or
quite every county. The leaders. with whom l
am in close contact. are thus early showing
signs Of activity. and.in many counties the con-
yentions have been called to make nomina-
tons for the Assembly and for county officers.
Among these are st. Lawrence. Allegany.
Chautauqua and Steuben. Assembly candi-
dates have been nominated in Clinton. Fulton
and Hamilton and Washington counties.
lido not regard this AZ an of year in politics.
For myself do not believe there can be such
thing as an off year If there are any local CON
tests between the parties The election next
fall will be considered a test of the regard in
which tho national and State administrations
sre held by the people OF Now York. My view
of II is that Republicans ought to take this OPP
pOrtunity to indorSe the course and uphold the
hands of President Mckinley and so long as
the insurgents in the Philippines arc shooting
against the American flag. and are endanger-
ing the lives OF American soldiers patriotic
citizens should put their shoulders and their
votes hch nd the President.
"GOv. RoGsevct's administration at Albany
is suuarc-toqd. honest and honorable. and not
only strengthens tho Republican PARTY, but
commands the respect Of all citizens OF all
parties 1t is of great Importance that he have
q Republican majority behind him In the As
scmblv next winter md throughout the State
the Republicans are disposed to nominate their
strongest men. They will also go into the fight
for all local OTHERS impressed with the idea
that this year is only a preliminary to the
national campaign next year. | believe in
fighting for every inch Of ground on all posi-
bic occasions. 1t is good time this year to
get ready for next. and when l get back from
my vacation oxis'ct to devote good share OF
the time until November to the work OF the
SsHa,0T rlatt and Mr.. ,ode talked last night
on various SUBJECTS, chief among them the
the continued supremacy Of Lieut.. Gov Wood

Kings county organization The fight is being
made by Postmaster WILSON, who now faVors
r. Ross Appleton as his chief Spokesman.
Postmaster Wilson hopes to control the Kings
county delegates to the National Republican
Convention next year. 1t ia to be a bitter fight
senator SENATE Plat has had a mum her, of talks with
Postmaster Wilson IN this light for control in
the primaries. The idea seems TO- be to permit
Mr.. Wilson and his factional adversaries to
fight this battle out as best they can. Mr..
Odell was congratulated last night on, the fact
mixed up in the trouble. llr, Plat will goto
the Oriental Hotel within day or two. While
he is apparently opposed to Postmaster W ilson.
he doesn't say very much, and In the middle Of

parture on tho part of Mr. Plat Every sum

vacation at the Oriental Hotel, and no
trouble in the state. no trouble in
hny county in the STATE has ever been SIe,

to the effect that Mr., platt has been advised to
