The result OF the conference was disappoint-

HEARST MAKES BIG MISTAKE"
Hearst win get them ii he VIII do the fair
thing by Us" Said Mr. Smith. Mr.. Hearst has
great popular strength. ana II he is the Demo
cratic candidate for Governor the Republicans
might as well prepare FOR cold winter This
Is q Democratic yea~ Hearst has made big
mistake iu having himself nominated by the
Independence League in advance of the Demo-
cratic state Conventions action. We want
Hearst on the head of the ticket. but he has got
10 O. the right thing by he has got 10 come
and talk business with as. II are 10 support

Local ticket II he isn't = a mind 70 do that.
there wont be anything doing for Mr.. Hearst
Il is absurd for him and his friends 10 take II
Tor granted that we will get out and sweat for
him without reward. II support him he has
got 10 support our local ticket. That is only fair
and right and am confident that the other dele
gates VIII take that view Of the situation when Il
IS laid before them"
'Kyiu Mayor Adams name be presented 10 the
convention"
II Is TOO early 70 tell yet" said the Sheriff.
The Mayor would make excellent candi-
cate He carried this county last fal by 10000.
and ! think II he was running for Governor this
fall he would carry il by 10000. There are a
good many Democrats who are sore on him be-
cause Of his appointments. But he has appointed
only organization men 10 office, and he is giving
Us a fine administration. II the convention does
not nominate Hearst Mayor Adam is in a good
position for the nomination. He would unite the
Buffalo factions. ana he would appeal the
