PLATT AND ODELL CLASH.
The Date Of the Convention VIII Determine
Which Is the Real Boss.

New York, Feb. 27.--Members of the
republican state committee assembled at
the Fifth Avenue Hotel today to discuss
the question of date and place for hold
ling the state convention Owing to the
difference of opinion among the party
leaders the matter may not be settled
definitely for another week. The settle
nae,it of the date. for holding the con-
verltion is regarded as the first test as
to whether Senator Platt or Governor
Ca1ell is iii actual control of the party
early date. Senator Plat favors a late
one, for the alleged reason that he de-
sires all the important legislative busi-
ness TO be out, ,of the way before the
convention meets The selection of a
late date, therefore, will be accepted as
evidence BY the rank and file that Sen
| ator Platt has not relinquished the party
reins. An early date will be regarded
as indicative Of Governor Odell's con-
troll of the state committee. Coupled
with the call which the committee viii
issue for the convention may be the
|proviso that the convention Is to Sc
lect a new state committee. This is
much desired by Governor pOdell, and,
lit is understood, is not opposed by SEN
ator Platt. The convention will select
four delegates at large to the-republiean
national convention Unless present

composed Of Senators Plat and Depew,

The Republican Nominee for Vice
President.
A little more than ten years ago
Charles Warren Fairbanks was hard
ly thought of as a factor In political
life. Yet in 1892 he was made chair
man of the Indiana Republican conven
ton, and one year later received the
entire vote OF his party in the legis-
lature for the United States Senator.
ship. The vote. however. was nj
large enough to elect. In 1897 his
election came. and scarcely seven
years after his appearance in Indiana
p~o1itices he was talked of for the
highest honors in the gift OF the PEG
pie of the United States.
Senator Fairbanks Is a native 81

citated Press at that time. he securof
a position with the organization at
Pittsburg. He found time to practice
Journalism and read law at the same
time, and soon after he became a
graduate of law his ability secured for
him the position of solicitor for the
Chesapeake and Ohio railroad. His
success in corporation law gave him
a wide reputation, and at the time Of
his election to the Senate he was
known as one of the most skilful rail
road attorneys and ~financiers Of the
West.
Soon after his election to the lei
ate a high compliment was paid to
Mr.. Fairbank by his appointment as
chairman of the United states branch
of the Anglo-American Joint High
Commission. The questions that the
Commission were expected TO consid
err were of the highest importance.
and their nature was such as tn dc
mand not only a profound knowledge
of law. but the theory and practice
of diplomacy. Throughout the trying
negotiations of the Joint Commission
Senator Fairbanks conducted the case
OF the United States in such a way as
to command the respect OF the Brit
ish and Canadian commissioners n
to retain their cordial personal re-
gard and good will.
Mr.. Fairbanks home Is In Indian
apOlis. He also occupies a large
house in Massachusetts, avenue Wash
ington. when congress is in session.
Mrs. Fairbanks Is m Of the most
prominent club INT in the country
