Battle of Mill

New York, April 21-One Of the
most picturesque and important fac

Republican party of the state of New
York is now raging at fever heat and
repetition is feared Of the old stal
wart halfbreed struggle which rent the
party quarter OF century ago and
turned the state over to the Demo

the cause of the quarrel which was SC
disastrous to the party that the ma
chine was on the verge of complete col
lapse when Ex-Governor Odell went 70
the rescue in 1903 at the request OF
Sepator Plat, and succeeded In patch

President Roosevelt did not make for

Mr.. Wadsworth asserts that the terms
of certain federal ofiice-holders In as

the end of the last session In which
he took part He also asserts that
the president promised him to consider
favorably the names presented Tor
these places by Congressmon Wads

appointees he named and gave the
places to men favorable to the opposi'
ton OF Mr.. Wadsworth. This caused
Mr.. Wadsworth TO make a public state

the president had not dealt squarely
with him and that Mr.. Roosevelt was
a fakir and a humbug. The battle In
the Genesee valley is primarily one
between millionaires, but It's various
