large numbers of delegates and visitors,

BATES TO PRESIDE,
Will be Chairman Of
Big Ratification
Meeting.
FRIENDS OF HOAR OBJECT.
W. Murray Crane Will be
One Of the
Speakers.
FRIENDS OF HOAR OBJECT.

Theodore C. Bates is to be presiding
officer at the meeting to ratify the
nomination made at the republican
state convention today. This ratifica-
ton meeting is to be held in Mechanics
hall Tuesday evening.
That Mr.. Bates was to be chairman
of this great meeting was announced at
republican headquarters last night and
occasioned considerable talk
Chairman Partridge of the city COM
mittee said that the committee named
MI. Bates because of the fact that it
was due to his influence that Senator
Frye consented to come to Worcester.
The Maine senator is paying a long
promised debt to Mr.. Bates, and while
in Worcester, he is to be guest of Mr..
Bates. 1t was considered to be moth
ing more than courtesy to Mr.. Frye to
name Mr.. Bates for presiding officer
Some members said that Senator
Hoar should have been named for pre-
siding officer, but the fact that the
preparations for this ratification were
made while the senator was in Europe,
they said was reason enough not to
make his name into consideration. They
could not tell when he was to arrive
in the United States, and the prepara-
tons had to be made Immediately.
1t was given out at headquarters last
night that the speakers secured so far
include not only Gov. Wolcott, but w
Murray Crane, who is slated for gov
ernor, Senator Frye of Maine, William
N. DIN, secretary of state, Hosea
Knowlton, attorney general; Speaker
John l.. Bates, who is to be the can
didate for lieutenant governor, and
Chairman A. H. Goetting Of the state
control committee.
A prominent republican who was at
the American House in Boston last
night, told The Spy reporter that in his
opinion, E. S. Bradford was away
ahead in the race for state treasurer.
He said that there was large attend
ance at Mr.. Bradford's reception, and
that the indications were that he was a
lond lead ahead of the other competi-
tors. He appeared, he said, to be
everybody's favorite.
The ward 5 members of the republic
can city committee met at headquarters
last night, and considered plans and
determined upon ways to advance the
candidacy of John G. Hagberg. The
statement was made by G. A. Berg, on
statements that have appeared in GER
tain evening paper are altogether err
roneous.s- This paper, they said, had
published a statement that there was
detection against Mr.. Hagberg in the
QuinsigamonI district, especially
against his own countrymen. 1t was
branded as false. Furthermore, it was
stated that the men that were sup
posed to be against him were willing
to come out and sign a statement of
denial, and that the man that was sup
posed to be the most outspoken, in or
der to contradict the story, was ready
to preside at meeting in favor of
Mr.. Hagberg.
Everybody in ward laughs at Mr.
Ryan's endless chain scheme. They
are also reminding Mr., Ryan of the
fact that he isn't such a democrat, af-
ter all. They say that he was great
Dodge man in a memorable city cleo
ton.

was pleased to learn last evening from
The Spy reporter that Gen. Curtis Guild
had substantiated his recent letter to
The Spy, in which he explained the
stand which he took in the BatesGuild

that the statement at the convention
that he was a supporter of Guild was
incorrect, and he merely wished to
make his position known in the matter
when he wrote his letter to The Spy.
He was gratifed to know that General
Guild has substantiated his statements
in letter to a friend in this city.
