PLATT STILL LEADS.
Governor OdeIl Talks About the
Washington Conference.

New York, Nov. Ex-Governor B. B.
Odell spent a few hours in this city to-
day on his return to Albany from
Washington, where he conferred yes
terday with President Roosevelt and
Senator Platt about the positions in the
Republican party in this state. Mr..
Odell said that the conference had
brought about harmony in place of the
badly strained relations which had ex-
listed so that Senator Platt is still the
leader of the party in the state, but that
he himself would hereafter take a more
active part in it's management; that the
restoration Of cordial relations had been
brought about by concessions on both
sides; and that further details Of the
conference were not of interest to per-
sons but to the party"
In regard to the vote of this state in
the Republican national convention he
said he had always expressed himself
as believing that it would be given tic
President Roosevelt.

statement about the result of the con-
ference at Washington yesterday on the
condition of affairs in this state?" the
governor was asked.
mo, there Dis nothing that can say in
that way" he replied. I'VE simply had
a conference and arranged matters in q
way satisfactory to both sides. Senator
Plat is still the leader of the party in
this state. There has never been any
disposition to take the leadership from
him.
Gov Odell was then asked if he would
not assume the management in the future
but did not answer directly, stating that
he would work to the best of his ability
for the success of the party in this state
To questions whether he would assume
charge here he replied that such matters
were things to be decided in the future.
Il do not care to say any further about
the conference." he concluded, Except
that it resulted in harmony in matters
which were in badly strained condition
last week and that the result was attain
ed by bending on both sides. We are al
united now for the success of the party il

How about the vote of this state in the

most as common as sore throat"
''To what, doctor, do you attribute this
increase of appendicitis"
''To hasty eating and to the use of foods
which have tendency to clog and fret

foods that beget intestinal torpor and con-
