Saratoga, Sept. 26-Charles E.
Hughes was nominated by acclama-
tion by the republicans of New York
in the state convention here today
Lieutenant Governor M. Linn Bruce
was renominated. Other nominations
were:
Secretary of State-John F. o.
Brien.
Comptroller-M. Il. Lewis
State Treasurer-J. e. Wallermaier.
State Engineer and Surveyor-H. A.
Attorney General-J. M. Mayer.
Ex-Lieutenant Governor Woodruff,
elected chairman Of the state central
committee, succeeded Odell.
Previous to the reassembling of the
convention unanimous nomination
of Charles E. Hughes for governor
seemed almost foregone conclusion.
Much, however, depended upon the re-
suit of the conference Of upstate
leaders, who favored the NOM
ination OF eX-Lieut. Gov. Woodruff,
who, in spite of pledges of support,
said today that he was not candi-
date and was inclined to ask his
friends to support Hughes. 1t was
quite frequently asserted during the
early hours, that the action of the up
state leaders in receding from their
opposition to Hughes, had been caused
by the president insisting upon Hughes
nomination. Congressman Cocks, rep
resenting the Oyster Bay district,
brought the most direct word, that
while the president did not want to in
terfere, he thought Hughes was the
man who met the requirements Of the
present situation. A telegram. has
been received from Governor Higgins,
declaring he is not opposed to Hughes.
When the convention was called to
order, State Senator Armstrong was
elected permanent chair
man. The committee on resolutions
made it's report, which was adopted
without dissention. A strong platform
was adopted.
RooseveIt's Work Praised.
The platform begins as follows: CAS-
as delegates to the republican
state convention, we are glad to record
our pride and confidence in President
Roosevelt. We endorse what he has
done in fulfilling the will of the peo-
pie in protecting both labor and cap
ital, in preventing unfair discrimina-
tion in railway rates, in reforming
trust corporation, in providing for
speedy construction Of the Panama
canal, in securing pure food laws, and
naturalization laws, and also
in elevating the standard of public
service In these splendid achieve
ments, he has had the hearty co-opera-
ton and assistance of a loyal repub-
lfcan congress.
''We congratulate him and the world
on what he did for peace between Rus
sia and Japan, and upon what he is
now doing to compel peace in Cuba. He
has fought the battles of the plain peo-
pie SO courageously and successfully
that his name is an Inspiration in
every state campaign, and his record Is
a platform upon which every good
citizen is willing to stand. We pledge
the republican party in New York
state to follow faithfully in his foot
steps,"
"The administrat of Governor
Higgins" it is declared, passes into
history as one Of the greatest the state
has ever known"
Trust Tariff Revision to Friends.
Restoration of merchant marine and
to prevent over-cap1talization and ex-
cessive charges by all public utility
is demanded. The wis
dom of the protective tariff is affirm
ed, and it is demanded "that its revis-
lon, as the occasion may require, be
to it's friends, not its enc
miles,"
Sympathy for Jews.
The stand taken by Roosevelt in the
application Of the eight-hour law. is
endorsed. The reduction of represen-
tation in the electoral college and in
congress to offset the suppression >of
elective franchises, is demanded. A
demand is made for prompt and ade-
quate punishment of race mob inSti-
gators and leaders. Sympathy is ex-
pressed with the suffering and out
ragged Jews in Poland and Russia.
