With one Exception the Ticket Meets
with Democratic ApprovaI-There
Was the stormy Debate uusual II
Democratic Conventions.

ROCHESTER,, N. Y, Sept. 10
Nominating all but one Of It's candi-
dates by reclamation and adopting a
platform which arraigns the admins
tration of Governor Hughes and
pledges Garnet support to the Denver
platform candidates, the Democratic
state convention today nominated as
the head of its ticket for governor the
present lieutenant governor, Lewis
Stuyvesant Chanler Of Duchess coun-
ty. All opposition to Mr.. Chanler dis
appeared after a conference of the
state leaders which occupied a great
part OF last night.
Following the ticket named:
Governor Lieutenant Governor
Chanler Of Duchess county, by ac-
clamation. II. Dix Of washington
county was nominated without oppo-
sition for lieutenant governor.
Secretary Of state-John s. Whalen.
Comptroller-Martin ii. Glynn.
State Treasurer-Julius Hauser; re-
nominated by a~cclamation.
Attorney General-George Palmer,
by reclamation.
Albert Haight Of Erie, was nominal
ed for associate Justice of the court
Of appeals.
~ State Engineer and Surveyor-Phil-
lip P. Farley of Kings county.
The ticket decided upon by the lead
ers with one exception seemed to
meet the approval OF all the delegates
and the nominations were made with
great enthusiasm until the office Of
state engineer and surveyor was
reached. The candidate for this office
was Phillip P. Farley of Brooklyn,
an anti-McC arren man.
Senator McCarren amid the
cheers Of his supporters, took the
platform to resent an insult, He de-
clared the nomination Of Farley was
agreed to without any regard to the
Kings county convention, and was in
tended to embarrass them. He de
clared he would always support Dem,
ocratic nominees but he would not
hold himself responsible for the action
of people who felt themselves IN
suited. Farley won on a roll call, but
a motion to make the, nomination
unanimous was lost by two or three
scattering negatives.
After Senator Gore Of Oklahoma had
addressed the convention, it ad
journed without date.

Occidental Life Insurance Company.

In next weeks issue of the MINER will appear the financial statement of the Occidental Life Insurance Con- pany of Arizona and New Mexico. The Occidental is home institution, organized and financed by many of the leading bankers and business men well known to our people, among them Hon. R. E. Morrison and Judge Wells of Prescott, T. E. Pollock, c. J. Rabbit, T. A. Riordan, c. O. Robinson of Flagstaff, and H. H. Watkins of King man. We know the people behind the institution and can commend the con- pany to those who want Life Insur- ance. The Occidental is loaning its money in Arizona and New Mexico on mortgage security and this is some- thing no other life insurance company will do. They want us to send our money to New York and let the con- panies loan it there, and the advantage our people will have if they place their insurance at home is that their money will be kept at home, and loaned here at per cent instead of three per cent in Wall street.
