DEMOCRAT FOR HIGGINS.
Jerome Nominator Hopes Governor
WIN Be Candidate Again.

William F. King, Democrat, VINO look leau-
ing part in the denomination and election OF
Jerome, says that he is for Higgins for renoml-
nation and thinks he will be elected.
Governor Higgins" said Mr.. King yesterday
made the best record of any Governor that we
have had within my recollection. l am Demo-
crat but believe in rewarding faithful service
The Legislature. while Mr. Higgins has been
Governor. has passed a larger number OF use
full measures and a smaller number or GRABS
than any legislature that know anything about.
No man can estimate the incalculable value OF
the insurance investigation 1t hurt the men
who stood for crooked methods. but II mas AIleo
the whole commercial business of the state ana
era in the life of the state and nation. GOV"
ernor Higgins is entitled to the greater part OF
the credit.
II believe that we should have had number
of new laws bearing the conduct or savings
banks and trust companies and perhaps an IN
vestigatiOn of the trust companies, IL II had
not been for the San Francisco fire. The tre-
mendous loss of San Francisco made 1t imprac-
ticabe at the last session OF the Legislature 10
put through a number Of bills that would nave
had the same wholesome effect on banking as
the insurance investigation had on insurance.
IF Governor Higgins should not be candl-
date and If the Republicans should show dis
position to nominate some machine man who
stands for retrogression, then 1 will be one OF
thousands who will get out and nominate by
petition some man like Charles E. Hughes for
Governor Now that the voters are aroused on
the subject of honesty in high places, the thing
to do is TO keep at the task till we get things
right. ] hope that Governor Higgins will con-
sent TO run again."

examine the credentials and elections Oh mem
hers. and prepare for the coming struggle over
tho agrarian measure The attention OF the
country is now riveted on this problem
The constitutional democratic agrarian scheme
will be attacked both by the Right and Left. The
radical workmen and peasant group, which now
has over seventy members. has decided TO make
fight for the abolition of all private ownership
and the establishment Of system providing Tor
national ownership of land. The members OF the
Right have a conservative land programme OF
their own, but the details have not been given
out They are trying hard to induce the group
of forty peasants who are holding aloof from
party affiliation to join them. The Conservatives
believe that the Constitutional Democrats and
Radicals will bring about reaction which Will
give the Conservatives majority at the next
election.
AS evidence of its desire to work in harmony
with the lower house. the Council Of the Empire
has decided not to press its views on great
questions awaiting solution but to await actoh

HEARST FORCES MAY MEET AT GARDEN
State Convention Likely To Be Held the
Last Week in July.

There is a strong probability that the Hearst
state convention will be held in Madison Square
Garden the last week in July. 1t had been planned
to hold 1t July T. either in Syracuse or Utica,
but it learned yesterday that that plan had
been abandoned The advantage of holding il in
this city, il said yesterday by one Of Mr..
Hearsts heutenants, Is that numbers and enthusi-
asm would make Ii more impressive here. II 1t is
held in the Garden there will be delegations from
all around the city Speakers Of national reputa-
ton will take part in the convention.
The Hearst men said yesterday that the lawyers
who getting up judiciary ticket to be Endorsed
by the Citizens Union had told them that Judge
Samuel Seabury, Of the City Court. would find a
place their ticket if the Independence League
would indorse the ticket The friends of Mr. Hearst
say that suggestion of this kind is unwelcome as
they going to an independent ticket with
candidates for every office to be filed at the cleo
ton next November.

RumoR OF NEW GROUPING OF POWERS.

Vienna, May 22.-According to the "Zet,"
Lieutenant General Palatzyn, chief of the Rus
sian General Staff, is coming to Vienna in June
TO study the organization of the AustrO- Hun
garian army. The newspaper connects this visit
with that of Lieutenant General Count Won
Moltle, chief of the general STAFF Of the German
army. and suggests that it is highly important
as pointing to a military convention between
Russia. Germany and Austria, from which Italy
will be excluded. The "Zeit" adds that the sub
ject probably will be discussed in the course Of
Emperor williams approaching visit to Emperor
Francis Joseph.
In official quarters all knowledge is denied OF
General Palatzyn's visit and IL is suggested that
the report enanates from German sources.

GOVERNOR vEToEs REFoRMAToRY BILL

nounced his veto OF the bill OF Assembyman Cum
ningham. of Ulster County, chairman of the Com
mittee on State Prisons. relating 90 sentences to
imprisonment in Emira Reformatory. The Gov
ernor thus explains what would be the effect OF
the bill:
The present law provides that the term Of i'm
prfsOnnent Of person in the reformatOry shall
not exceed the maximum term provided BY law
for the crime. This bill provides that whoever is
so sentenced may be held therein for a term not
exceeding i've years, Notwithstanding the MAXI
mum term Of imprisonment for his crime other
wise provided by law. This would shorten the
period OF possible detention for many prisoners and
seriously impair the application OF the principle
OF tho indeterminate sentence. II would also in
the possible maximum term OF prisoners
convicted OF crimes where the maximum term Of
Imprisonment is less than 1--WE years
