h conference, besides listening Co adj
dresses ron MIR. jerome, will near words Of
wisdom from other Democrats, and the
nrOrDaifiOp arcfNrHinr m tho ,nnAarafapdinn
tonight, is that those who attend the con-
ference shall draw up a declaration Of
principles and appoint n committee TO pre-
sent these principles 20 the Democratic
State convention at Buffalo on September
rs.
The Democrats here tonight said that
1t was thoroughly repugnant TO them hat
any candidate for Governor should attempt
70 coerce the Democratic State conven-
ton at Buffalo and they would not be
drawn into any such movement and neither
would they permit, il possible, any guerilla
Democrat or any kind OF a Democrat TO
dictate the candidates TO I've named at
Buffalo.
Something was said to MIR. Osborne by
the representative Of one of Mr.. Hearst's
newspapers about a bolt, intimatinE that
the conference tomorrow was the inception
Of a boiling movement. The questions Of
Mr.. Hearst's representative to Mr.. Osborne
were put ingeniously, but they received
not the response that Mr.. Hearst's represent
alive apparently desired. for Mr.. Osborne,
replying to all Of the questions Il this
character, said:
People don't bolt nomina tons and neither
do they make a nominate unanimous
until the p rty acts"
There isa very strong feeling here tonight
that a great party should not be bludgeoned
into indOrsing the candidate OF a guerilla
convention and Their are also positive
convictions that the call for the conference
Of Democrats tomorrow should he carried
out in letter and In spirit,
Most of the Democrats here tonight
said that il was very plain to them that
Mr.. Hearst could not any ci rcum-
stances be considered a Democrat They
recalled Mr.. Hearst's deal with Mr.. OdeIl
in New York city last fall whereby Mr..
Odell sIashed william NJ. WINS, his own
candidate for Mayor, in the interest Of
Mr.. Hearst "a q guerilla candidate for
Mayor, Mr.. Hearst's people remunerating
Mr.. Odell by voting for Mr.. Odell's Repub-
licaD candidates for the Board Of Alder
men. Then, too, Mr.. Hearst's speeches at
Syracuse and WATERFOWL, It was pointed
out, favored protection for protection's
sake, a doctrine Numerically opposed to
the basic principles of Democracy.
Mr.. Jerome arrived at the Hotel Ten Eyck
from Lakeville at 10 o'clock tonight. He
was Immediately in conference with ex-
Mayor Osborne and the congregation Of
Democrats who believe in their party's
principles and who support every word
in the call for to-morrow's conference. Mr..
Jerome said that his utterances would be
heard in the conference tomorrow and
until then he would remain silent.
All Of the Democrats gathered here to-
night are eagerly awaiting Mr.. Jerome's
speech tomorrow. They expect Mr.. Je-
rome to enunciate simon pure Democratic
doctrine. They believe that the Democrats
of the State are awaiting the advent Of a
man who is a Democrat for Democracy's
sake and who has not been and will not be
s~ubservient to an intolcrant Ond arrogant
boss system.
