MR.. PLAT DISGLAIRS
LOSS OF LEADERSHIP ERF}SSHETPI
Returns From Empire State
Apparently Happy.
PROGRAM IN LEGISLATURE
Lukewarmness for President Motive Of
the Effort to Dislodge
a Him.

Senator Thomas c. Platt has returned
from New York. When asked concern
ing his conferences with the leaders of
The State he said he had accomplished
all he had intended. and that the COM
mittees Of the Legislature would be or
ganized as he suggested. He said all of
the prominent leaders Of the State had
accepted his invitation TO be present at
the conferences and all had approved
his program.
Naturally the Senator denies that he
had been superseded as the leader Of
the Republican party in New York. He
referred 10 the assertions that he had
been leader for thirty years and inti-
mated that he would retain the leader
ship as long as he wanted il.
IL was intimated today that one of the
reasons why Governor Odell has been
made the real leader of the State is
that Senator Platt had intimated to
friends that he did not think President
Roosevelt could carry the State, and the
friends of the President. remembering
the fate Of Chester A Arthur. decided
to see If the State could not be carried
without the aid Of the Senator. One of
the conditions that made the friends
of the President net as they have was
that while Senator Platt was announc-
ing his allegiance to President Roose-
welt his organ. a New York newspaper,
which Senator Platt controlled abso-
lutely. has been carrying on a vicious
campaign of mud singing against the
President
There were several other similar in
consistencies, 1t is said, which n,sde the
friends of the President doubt the in
tentions of the Senator and which
caused the change I'm leadership.

One among the scores of pitiful stories
which illustrate the winter need for
charitable work is the brief account of
an aged workingman, found sick and

shack within three blocks of Dupont
Circle. close to Stoneleigh Court, and
near the Church ot the Covenant.
The old man had been earning "A scanty
living at breaking stone until he was
overcome by the cold and by a partial
stroke of paralysis The agent of the
Associated Charities found him crouch
ing over cold stove in a room which
was piled UP with cold ashes. pieces Of
dilapidated furniture, and some ragged
garments. He was only able to partly
clothe himself, and he had drawn the
ragged bedclothing from his pallet to
wrap about him in vain effort to keep
warm He had been in this condition
more than twenty-four hours when dis
covered.
In this case il was necessary to pro-
vide temporary assistance at once,
and afterward the careful conveyance

BIG FACTIONAL FIGHT ON
Republicans Find It Difficult TO Unite
on Candidate for
Governor.

Republican leaders are beginning to
realize that the Democrats are not only
laying their plans 10 carry New YORK
State in the Presidential campaign, but
VIII put forth a brave effort TO swing
Illinois into the Democratic column.
The Democrats cannot win with the
south and New York alone. and believing
that the Prairie State offers a field for
contest. they will endeavor to capture
H. While the Republican majority under
normal conditions is large in Illinois, yet
the voting population Of Chicago is so
ncNle that a movement might be started
which would enable the Democrats 10
roll up such a majority in that city
that the Republicans in the counties
outside might not be able to overcome

in 1SS2-and the circumstance might be

Fear Split in Party.

IL Is feared that the nomination OF a
man allied with any Of the factions
would mean the loss Of the State in a
Presidential campaign. especially when
the opposition is alert and active. and
mas determined TO make a fight for the
electoral votes Of the State There IS
said to be growing sentiment among
Republicans in favor Of selecting a
strong neutral man. and this is giving
an impetus TO the Warner boom.
The big three" in the State. Senator
Cullom. Senator Hopkins. and Speak-
er cannon. are taking no active part in
the contest. Senator Cullom is said
however. to be favorabIy disposed to-

Looks Hopeless for Yates.

Governor Yates is making a canvass
for the nomination Independent of all
the others, but with little prospect Of
a denomination. In such situation the
wisest ones in the Republican Iarty in
Illinois are looking for a man upon
whom all factions can unite Such a
man. it is claimed, is the Hon. Vespasian
Warner.
Mr.. Warner represents the Nineteenth
Illinois district in the House. and Is
now serving his fifth term. He Is not
associated with the Yates. the Lorimer.
or the antt-Lorimer factions and al
though independent Of all OF them. is
nevertheless on friendly terms with the
leaders or each, and has a strong hold
upon the rank and file Such a man n
Is said is the only one likely TO ooll the
full party strength in the coming cam
palgn, divided as are the Republicans
OF Illinois upon the question OF the gov
ernorship.

Trouble On in Illinois.

The Republicans are just a little con-
cerned because of the fact that the party
IS not harmonious upon the matter of
selecting n candidate for governor to
succeed the Hon. Richard Yates. The
factions are bitterly fighting each other,
and it is asserted that unless their diff
ferenCes are healed by the nomination
OF a man who is on good terms with all
and allied with none. the party may
lose thousands of votes.
The situation in Chicago affords II fair
illustration OF the lack of harmony
among the Republican leaders with re-
spect to the goYernorshlp. The Repub-
ncan city machine, directed by Repre-
sentative Lorimer. is booming the Hon.
Frank o. Lowden: the anu-Lorimer
crowd has selected as its candidate
States Attorney Deneen, and 1t is al
most forcgone conclusion that the
Chicago delegates will go to the State
convention divided between Lowden and
Deneen. This of itself. IL is declared,
should keep the nomination away from
Chicago.
