NJ Fernald. and four Republican Congressmen were
elected in Maine. The Democrats tried 10 extract
soace from their defeat by saying that the reduc-
ing Of the Republican plurality of D. 600 IN 1904 to
approximately 5000. denoted Bryar's election The
REDUCTION Of the Republican plurality was due to
the fact that the paramount issue the prohi-
bition liquor law. the Democratic candidates stand
ing for the resubmission of the law TO the people
and the Republicans for its retention. National
issues played no part in this election and major

yes" replied Constant Reader. Governor
Charles Evans Hughes renominated by the Re
nuhlcan State Convention at Saratoga. after his
onnonents had tried in vain for two days to find
q candidate to pit against him. He received s21
votes the first ballot. the nomination then being
made unanimous. On Monday. when the leaders

xention expressing his desire for the denomination
Of the Governor. In the last ditch Barnes, AL
bridge Hendricks and the opposition forces tried
10 centre the scattered anti-Eughes votes DR..
David Jayne Hill. Ambassador to Germany. but
failed. After the denomination everybody seemed
satisfied and that the ticket would win. The
ticket is: For Governor-Charles Evans Hughes:
for Lieutenant Governor. State Senator Horace
White. of onondaga; for Secretary of State SAM
uel s Koeng. OF New York OF Attorney Cen
eral. Edward r. o'Malley, OF Erie; for Controller
Charles H. Gaus of Albany: for State Engineer.
Frank n Williams Of Madison; for State Treas
urer. Thomas B. Dunn of Monroe; for Associate
Judge. Court OF Appeals Albert Haight Of Erie
(renominated).
The belief was general that the nomination be-
ing settled. the leaders who had opposed Hughes
would bury the Ratchet and do their utmost to
elect him. The Governor heard the news while
Rochester expressed his appreciation of the con-
hdence reposed in him by the party. The renomi-
nation greatly pleased the President Mr. Taft and
the leaders all over the country. and the Western
leaders requested that Governor Hughes make a
speaking campaign for the national ticket in their
territory.
The platform adopted by the convention in
dorsed Governor Hughess administration, but
went on record against two OF his reform meas
ures. the Massachusetts, ballot law and the direct
primary.

after two days OF bitter contest between the Muir

Harmony was reached only after National
Chairman Norman E. Mack. acting as the direct
representative OF Bryan. had induced Charles F
Murphy and State Chairman Corners TO drop Their
opposition 10 the seating OF McCarren's King.
County delegates in the convention Murphy and
McCarren each declared. however. that this so
called harmony in the interests of the state ant
