JAMESTOWN, N. Y, Oct. H-Orsino f.
Jones, the leader Of not inoonsiderp BILE
! faction Of the Republican party Of the
Thirty-seventh Congress district, has an
nounced his intention to support Judge
Herrick In preference to Higgins, although
he will vote for Roosevelt. His reasons
may all be summarized In a single word,
| "Odellism," Hs has supported the Repub-
lican ticket without break for over half
century, but he frankly says there are
limitations to party loyalty, and that in
the nomination Of Mr. Higgins at the behest
of Gov. Odell those limitations have been
reached and he has no choice but to vote
for the Democratic candidate.
Il have known Judge Herrick for many
years." said Mr. Jones to THE Sun CORE
spondent. Il know him to be an honest,
capable patriotic American citizen clean
cut man-who, if elected Governor, will place
principle above partisanship and give the
people OF the State an honest, economical
business administration. Therefore l shall
vote for him. There are times when even
the most earnest partisan is justified in
deserving his party, and this is one OF those
times. The reckless and extravaganza ex-
penditures OF public funds during Odells
administration, the. arrogant, manner in
which the wishes Of the people have been
ignored in the selection of candidates for
the State ticket these things are in my
judgment sufficient justification, for de-
involves the election of a Democrat"
Mr.. Jones has voted the Republican
ticket straight since the. civil war; For
many years he was member of the Repu6-
the ohisi Platt lieutenant in the Thirty
seventh Congress district and is the man
who few months ago first indicated the
probable connection of Supreme Court
Justice Warren B. Hooker with the postal
At that time he addres an open letter to
| Gov. Odell, in which he called attention to
the fact that Justice Hooker's term on the
Appellate bench of the Second Department
handed that he should not be redesignated;
This demand was oontemptuously ignored
by Gov. Odell. Justice Hooker was desig-
mated for another term and Justice Hooker
friends In jamestown sneeringly asked Mr..
Jones what he was going to do about It.
| His assertion that he will advocate the
election OF Judge HerTick is an adequate
| answer.
at is time the Republican party in this
State was relieved Of the faint OF graft"
said Mr. Jones, in discussing the existing
situation. Il do not think the Governor
was justified in returning Judge Hooker
to the Appellate bench after Republican
investigating committee had publicly and

Republican president, announced that grave
frauds had been perpetrated in the Post
Office Department and that some Of these
had been sss n tss n
Congress- Certainly the judiciary ought
Odell is not responsible for the election OF
Mr.. Hooker as Justice OF the supreme
to the Appellate Division, and he cannot
evade that responsibility, because the peo-
pie are familiar with the facts.
Now there is in my mind no question
but that Mr.. Higgins Is OdelPs candidate.
AS such candidate, he must stand on Odell's
record The Hooker incident is one item
in this record, and believe the voters OF
Chautauqua county as least Will take this
item into consideration when preparing
= heir ballots on election day
Bit was not generally supposed that Mr..
Higgins would run behind his ticket in
Chautauqua county, because he is a resi-
dent OF the adjoining county and has
large personal following. irrespective OF
| party issues and factions. The action of
| Mr.. Jones, however, indicates that the
! Hooker issue will be raised, and there Is
reason to believe that the anti-Hooker
faction will follow Mr. Jones into the Demo,
cratic camp without regard to personal
friendship for Mr. Higgins.
Judge HerIick spoke in jamestown last
Friday evening and the little band of Demo-
Gratis who vote in Chautauqua county did
! They succeeded beyond their most sanguine
expectations and their success was the
first local indication OF the trend of public
sentiment 1t was an ominous indication
so far as the State ticket was concerned,
for an audience Of 1000, Of which more
than half were Republicans, sat patiently
in chilly summer theatre to listen to Judge
Herrick, who devoted his time to a discus.
sion Of State issues. At the conclusion OF
his address two-thirds Of the crowd de-
parted while Deputy Attorney General
Charles n Bulger was disscussing national
issues. From this incident the conclusion
is almost irresistible that many Republicans
who are enthusiastic for Roosevelt are in
different toward Higgins and in many in
stances will follow Mr.. Jones in supporting
Judge Herrick. Talk to any western New
York Republican you may happen to meet
has the utmost confidence in the success
